why does bono of U2 keep sticking his ignorant nose into african affairs??????

Question

He should really keep his opions about one love and about the freedom struggle to himself cause he has no idea

a christian principle thato is giving to people cause you really care, not for power, publicity etc

Answer 1

He is an ignorant Mick who should rather stick to potatoes than involves himself in matters way beyond his intellectual capacity. I guess they are the conscience of Ireland ( he and Geldhoff) but flying into African Countries in their private jets and making appeals for money is a laugh. It is nothong more than a publicity stunt to raise a flagging career and I dont know anyone in England who takes him seriously.

Answer 2

I don't think Bono is sticking his ignorant nose in African affairs, he is only sticking up for what is right and makes people aware of what is actually going on.

Why is it wrong to wipe the debt of Africa? and to get rid of Mugabe? he is the most hideous man I have come across, he beats his own people, he takes all the money and spends it on protecting his on world and life style..!!! how can that be right...

I suppose you live in a country where you have freedom of speech and have not got a dictator that makes you do as they say..!!!! think on before you criticise others.
Or how about you stick your nose in and make the difference instead and come up with a solution for the African problem.!!!

Answer 3

A while ago, I saw this guy bleating on about giving money etc to the charities, and in the following days newspapers, he was apparently looking to purchase an £8m yacht, hang on a minute, £8m, that would solve one of these small country's problems in one go. Until the corrupt leaders in these African countries are ousted and democracy restored, there will never be an end to it all.
Many of those of the same ilk as Mugabe, for instance, have stolen all the wealth from within the countrys' they lead, when they are ousted, then the money will be used for what it should be, but these 'celebs' who constantly harp on about US, the normal people, putting our hands in our pockets, could do so much more themselves.....

Answer 4

no we don't need bono to create awareness at all.Africa is its own problem where people with little skills ,especially in power who just don't have a clue on governance developed in the western world and Europe over many decades.of course u cant help anyone in Africa because corruption defiles right through the thought processes on the continent.the law of Africa will prevail,the bush shows us up where the toughest survive,the rest get eaten.funny thing i notice world wide is where ever ex Africans run away to they turn good run places into sh-tholes and slums.then turn around and beg like the world owes them.Bono i suggest that u give Ur attention to a far less ambitious project and put your efforts into somewhere,where fruit of your labour will be appreciated bro.
one last thing,I'm traveling south America at the mo 4 nine months,their r poor people here too but u so seldom see people sitting on the bonos of their behinds, with hands out.the only Africa i can say i enjoy is the wildlife aspect,and those who have mastered staying within the limits of their own culture.

Answer 5

Give us a break Mr Cash, just what is it that you do to make the world a better place then?
Sure, he is an opinionated jerk, but since when did anybody have to be perfect to try to make a difference? His heart is in the right place, never mind how obnoxious he seems to be, he is having a go at trying to help people.
He did not get a knighthood for nothing did he? Where is yours?

Answer 6

How can you say he "has no idea". He's devoted the last almost 30 years of his life trying to end poverty. His passion and commitment is what has made him the icon he is today. Because of his "fame and power", politicians listen to what he has to say, so he can accomplish the things he sets out to.

The problem isn't with Bono, the problem IS with people that believe you need to be "part of the problem" in order to be "part of the solution".

Answer 7

Everyone has his or her "Legacy".

If Bono really cared about this cause, he would equally distribute 90% of his annual income to African Nations with "Real Needs". By "Real Needs", I mean nations free of radical warlords, dictators and Europeans tycoons calling the shots from their private yachts off the cost of Tenirife.

If Africa were free of greed, political power struggles and NGO's, (who quietly took the place of colonial powers) decided to shared the wealth generated in Africa, many of the problems now encountered by the native population would be alleviated. Hence, 4 in 5 individuals would now get to drink filtrated water, while taking generic medicine designed to suppress their respective disease's for an extra 2 weeks.

Answer 8

If Enron cooked their books that's as much as the shareholders(authentic bosses of a public organization) to handle it, that's no longer as much as Congress to stick their nostril in it. Boy that makes regulation lots less complicated does not it? in case you smash a regulation only bypass punish your self the variety you spot in good shape. The NFL is a corporation, and as such is responsible for regulations that govern a company. so which you ask why make an argument of this however, it replaced into an inter-organization project? properly because of fact this inter-organization project effects the widespread public. So because of fact it effected the widespread public and the vast Wigs have been the only ones who be attentive to approximately evidence that replaced into DESTROYED then issues might desire to be defined. do no longer you recognize the NFL is a corporation? specific they are not publicly traded, yet they're too vast to no longer be dealt with comparable to a public organization could be. that's the character of that variety of beast. I won't even declare to be attentive to the ideal info of the regulation that are being effected right here, that's for Specter to rigidity approximately. the guy is on the Senate Judiciary Committee, meaning this is approximately regulation/legal subject concerns, and he's conscious the regulation extremely properly. i detect the lack of know-how at right here exciting. The PRESIDENT is the Commander in chief, as quickly as Congress "approved using rigidity", masking their butt in no longer conserving conflict, it became HIS subject. Congress has no longer something to do with the conflict. Oh and approximately Specter's intelligence, he served on the Warren fee. hey you each and all of the anger replaced into in waiting for the NFL to respond to his letter, then his letter a month later, which they chosen to no longer do until the week until now the Superbowl. as quickly as they replied he wasn't happy with the reaction and that's whilst he reported he replaced into going to speak with Goodell. as quickly as lower back the lack of know-how right here amuses me.

Answer 9

Well, when the continent can't seem to find a way to get rid of a tyrant like Robert Mugabe, obviously SOMEONE needs to worry about African affairs. It appears Africans don't.

Answer 10

Why is everyone having a go at BONO?

I think its because he cares it is as simple as that he is a good person.
Come on people!!
Why are South Africans like this.

Answer 11

actually i think you misunderstand the whole point he is trying to make. Bono is acting on Christian principles and tries to do some humanitarian good.

Then again, who knows? Maybe he is getting paid to do it?Ever thought why all of a sudden a lot of celebrities are spokespeople of the United Nations etc?
