Writing a will: The African context















A will is the document that shows how the property/affairs of a man/woman will be handled at his or her demise.
Lots of people in Africa believe that it takes a man who knows he is about to die to write a will http://www.aarp.org/money/estate-planning/info-09-2010/ten_things_you_should_know_about_writing_a_will.html. 
As a result, they almost forget to write one and finally leave their homes in chaos at their demise. Again, some people in Africa feel that the cost of hiring the services of a lawyer is too high for them to afford. The end result is that most widows are left at the mercy of the relatives of their spouses - sometimes their children are sent out of school, lacking opportunities that they would have had access to. The widows themselves are subjected to suffer different kinds and types of hardship because the only thing that would have helped to better their life at the demise of their spouse (a will) was never written.
As you drive that big car, live in that mansion and enjoy life to the fullest have you secured the future of your family? Get a lawyer and write a will today.

The enormous task of fighting poverty and earning a source of livelihood has driven many rural dwellers into local mining.   The process of local mining is one whereby precious stones and other mineral deposits are brought/dugged out by untrained rural dwellers.   This method of mining does not take cognisance of all the safety measures that are needed to be in place for such vocation and also does not recognise the negative environmental hazards that this will cause the rural populace. Although this industry has the potential of reducing poverty through income and employment generation, the use of primitive methods of mining constantly contributes its toll to the degradation of our environment. http://www.ajol.info/index.php/jorind/article/view/42333 Regrettably, while the government spends lots of money on importing these precious stones and mineral deposits, lots of these rural dwellers can be trained and equipped in harnessing this profession as they have chosen it ...

THE NEED FOR THEMATIC INVESTIGATION/RESEARCH IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

THE NEED FOR THEMATIC INVESTIGATION/RESEARCH IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES The need for research cannot be overemphasized in the organization of community development activities.    A lot of persons have depended on common sense in selecting what they consider as the most common need of the rural dwellers and have ignorantly embarked on such activities.   Thematic investigation is always one of the first activities embarked upon before and after a community development proposal has been approved.   Again, thematic investigation also   means ‘searching for facts; finding answers to questions;   identifying an existing problem and   getting closest solutions to these identified problem’ amongst others. Again, thematic investigation gives the rural dwellers the opportunity to explain in their own words how they feel, what they think and how they make sense of the world they live in.     The following are some of the reas...
