Black American Billionaire Bob Johnson Urges Africa to Curb Bribery and Corruption
(Taylor Media Services) African American billionaire Bob Johnson last week urged African countries to combat bribery and corruption in order to attract more foreign business investment to the continent. Johnson was speaking in the West African nation of Liberia at a ceremony marking the opening of his new $8 million Kendeja Hotel Luxury Resort. He said he found doing business in Liberia easier than in most other African countries. He also said he was impressed by the country’s President Ellen Sirleaf Johnson (no relation). http://www.freewebs.com/blacknewsjournal/

I really think Liberia is in a good position now thanks to the election of President Johnson. She's good people and the right lady to lead that country into a positive light.
But more importantly, I'm impressed w/Mr. Johnson for investing there. Far too often our successful Blacks look the other way and it takes others to plant their monetary seeds in Africa. Kudos to you, Jen, for shedding some light on this endeavor.
