@alex: Over the coming two months, I intend on doing just that by talking about the ideas in books like the 4 hour work week and so on and so forth. If you have any guest articles that you want to write to share with my readers how to do just that, my inbox is open at masmilele@thedisplacedafrican.com

@Aco: Guest posts are welcome anytime bwana! Should you so feel the urge send one through. We already have informal big brother/ big sister programs here so I definitely think if people are willing to put in the work, they’re worth a shot. Let’s hope that these articles get to as many people as possible and impact people as much as possible before they take flight or even once they land.

LMAO @ majonzi
@ sunny
More Aco guest blogs depends on Mwangi, hint, hint! But for real most people when you tell them that things here are hard knock they dont want to know, anywhere but Kenya sounds like heaven. After 9/11 things have become really really hard here I tell you. I have a cousin who wants to come and he doesnt seem to be taking our warnings of the hard life here to heart.
@ mwangi
I have a feeling that even if seminars were to be conducted when people get the cold hard facts many of them simply wont attend. Also I do believe that a large number of the screw ups out here are those who came when they were too young and with no guidance at all.
But I do know that these posts are a great idea and should be passed around to as many people as possible.
@ seinlife
Kenyans out here tend to be very paranoid about each other so I dont know about a big brother/sister program but it does look good on paper. With proper welcoming and guidance I too think the US experience would be less traumatising.

@seinlife: The more and more I read these articles and the comments, the more I am definitely thinking that we can definitely make these “immigration courses” a reality somewhat, either in places like Aussie that help bring people over or in the embassies and points of arrival for African students abroad. It’s now locked in as a definite possibility for the future in some way shape or form.
