RIGA IN HISTORY

Blogging Tips Blogging Tips


Riga is currently the capital city of Latvia which is located in the baltic region and it shares border with the Russia (formerly known as Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (U.S.S.R) )

Prior to 1933, when the United State of America extended diplomatic recognition to the Soviet (now Russia) there was no relation between the two nation and Russia just had a revolution thus; a fact finding team known as the “Legation Officers” were sent to investigate the Soviet Union. These legation officers were known as “Riga Axiom” .

They were so referred to because Riga served as their base due to the proximity to mother Russia. The legation officers used it a base for the U.S State Department Observation post on Moscow (the Soviet capital). The Riga Axioms served as a catalyst to U.S foreign policy towards the Soviet Union. They advocated the creation of a “Cordon Sanitaire around the Soviet Union and even oppose the U.S supporting them when the Nazi invaded on June 12 1941.

CORRUPTION IS EVERYWHERE

Blogging Tips Blogging Tips


Globe of Blogs

Recently, I got to know about a Bernard Madoff who is the chairman and founder of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC which has been in existence since 1960.

The company has a very big reputation in America’s financial sector and connections too but from what I understand about the duties of the company is just the same thing as the “Wonder Banks” we had in Nigeria a year ago which you make an investment for a certain period of time and when the investment is ripe, you collect double or tripple the amount you invested; the only difference is Madoff company also manage asset for people.

But unfortunately, Madoff misappropriate investors funds ranging to billions of dollars and thus uses new investors premium to pay off other (old) investors which investments were ripe. You can read the rest of the details here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Madoff

What am trying to point out here is that corruption is in every country be it African, Asian or European which is not always what you hear on foreign media. What you hear is that corruption is simply the diease of the third world countries especially African country but Madoff case proves otherwise.

The only difference between corruption in America and Africa (Nigeria to be precise) is that it occurs more in Africa than the United States (US) and its more peculiar to public office holder in Africa and to the private sector in the US.

Secondly, culprit of corrupt practices in Africa tend to go scot free still rich and powerful in some quarters but in the US you serve jail terms even if its only for a few years.
