HAPPY   NEW  YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


*************************************************************************************************************************

Typical of some Africans to tout degrees they hold but not what they can
accomplish.  Lord, help us; glad to see that, at least, people did not fall
for it this time and instead derided "Mr Degrees Holder."

Ann Marie

*"Ms. Samba-Panza defeated seven other candidates, including the sons of
two former presidents and* *a man whose claim to hold degrees that no other
Central Africans possess drew hoots of derision in the assembly chamber on
Monday.* She was elected in a five-hour process involving two separate hand
counts and the double reading-out of all 120-odd members of the assembly."
