How to invest wisely in Africa
Kunle Aderemi Africa’s journey from when it was tagged as the ‘The Hopeless Continent’ on the cover of The Economist in May 2000 to December of 2011, when the same publication used ‘Africa Rising’ as its headline (followed by ‘Aspiring Africa’ in March 2013) has been anything but boring. The continent has become the hottest destination for emerging market investors. From 2000, according to the World Economic Forum, half of the world’s fastest-growing economies have been in Africa.
Adrian Lenz has a rosy future in the music biz
It has not been an easy path for Grenadian musician Adrian Lenz, who arrived in Ireland in December 2011 to join his spouse. At first he had to put his musical ambitions on hold, taking up employment in the fast food industry. Within a year he was promoted to supervisor, a position he maintains to date.

On World Aids Day, let’s ask ourselves how to end the stigma
This December let us ask ourselves how we can play our part in ending the stigma associated with (HIV) testing in our homes, workplaces, schools, colleges and places of worship. We have nothing to fear but the truth.

‘You, too, are Ireland.” Those were the words of retired High Court Judge Bryan McMahon while presiding over the citizenship ceremony that took place in the Dublin Convention Centre on 14 December 2015. Some 3,000 people from 121 countries were naturalised on that day: many had come to Ireland as migrants, immigrants, refugees or asylum seekers, while others were descendants of such.
In Finland, the murderer is the hero
In early December a terrible massacre took place in Imatra, a small town in eastern Finland. Three women were about to leave a pub when a young man started to shoot at them in ambush.
A visa-free solution?
I often follow South African news and recently read an article that the country raised the minimum wage for domestic workers by almost one rand an hour with effect from 1 December.
Change in the air for African politics
In early December, Ghanaians voted out President John Dramani Mahama, who became leader following the death of John Atta Mills in 2012, and who failed to live up to his promises throughout a four-year tenure characterised by dwindling economic fortunes and rising corruption. His upcoming replacement by 72-year-old Nana Akufo-Addo, a human rights lawyer who won 53.8 per cent of the votes, is being viewed as part of a movement in the continent.
Save energy - and your money - this Christmas
To mark World Energy Conservation Day on 14 December, Oftec – which represents the domestic oil heating industry in Ireland – has issued its top tips to help homeowners conserve energy and save money on their energy bills.
Time to take action for World Aids Day
The first of December is World Aids Day, when the global community reflects on the story and impact of this extraordinary pandemic. Over the past 35 years, lives have been lost, treatments have emerged that have saved the lives of millions, stigma and discrimination have remained powerful and prevalent and courage has abounded among people living with HIV. All regions of the world have been impacted, no less than the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, where two-thirds of those living with HIV reside.
