What were your highlights of 2010?

Waah!
What a "discussion topic", is great, interesting, happiness and sad.

Africans 2010, would have been the joyous year over decades after a string of successfull indepence fight, had it not been the sad end of a show of an ugly face of a dictatorship for one of the most vibrant econoy of West African countries, Ivory coast. Africa would have been the best place for tourism in 2011, and emerging Tourist destination and investment place for a considerable Westerners, particularly, with China competing with them.
However, most of the success gained, in terms of respect and a bit of stability recognition has[Unsuitable/Broken URL removed by Moderator] been eroded by power drunks the likes of Gbagbo. Undobtedly, the highlight of 2010 for Africa would have been the FIFA 2010 but it has been dent by the work of power dranks.
Nonetheless, hope is not lost yet lost; I mean, this is the first time both ECOWAS and African Union (AU) has been very critical and seriously come to the aid of the voice of the ordinary choice for the president. I think therefore that they deserve recommendation and surely qualifies for the highlight of the activities of the year.

I therefore, choose the voice of ECOWAS and AU for the first time since their inception as the greatest highlights of the year for Africa.
Thanks

2010 is a great year for any African, First of all South Africa did us proud by successfully hosting the world cup, as a Nigerian I felt the whole of Africa hosted it, I was too proud to be an African, definately the annoying vuvuzela was the highlight of my 2010 worldcup.

Secondly, I just cant get over the fact that Obama lost his popularity so fast, people started loathing the man for the same reasons they loved him, I thought that was funny, all talk and not enough action irritated the Americans. Big-big grammar doesnt quite cut it mate, the people want health, cut taxes and create jobs etc.

Furthermore, I got my dream job by accident, which should probably be on top of this list, I will never forget how I got this job and will forever be grateful to God. PREPARATION + OPPORTUNITY = SUCCESS.

Who can forget how the Chilean Miners overcame the natural cause of Nature, this story encourages me daily on what one can achieve in Life when you just "Believe" it can happen regardless of the situation.

Something about the Name "GOODLUCK" President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the story of how a simple Lecturer who has never ran for office became President of Nigeria. All his appointments from Bayelsa state governor to vice-president Goodluck is truly LUCKY. After Goodluck succeeded his Boss Late President Umaru Yardua, folks started naming their kids GOODLUCK. Yes and the President hosted Facebook party at Eko hotel this month, theme of the party was "my friends and I" this is one funky President. Love him

God bless this woman.Screen Goddess Genevieve Nnaji, was profiled on Oprah and interviewed on CNN, apart from the fact that I am her biggest fan and completely adore Genevieve, her success means alot to me, because here is someone who got involved purely for the love of the act and with it all the fame and success followed. I hope Genevieve will know how much of an impact she is to all of us young ladies who love her. Actually one of my 2011 wishes is to meet her and talk over a cuppa. I love Genny.

The situation in Ivory Coast makes me so sad, I dont even want to talk about it.

Ghana discovered oil, so funny this oil has been hiding for ages only to show up now, I bet Ghana's success at the 2010 world had something to do with this lol.

Airtel formerlt known as Zain Nigeria, changed ownership for 6th time, i mean do this people know what it is to do business? I pity them, am sure they still have customers because Nigerian customers are loyal to a fault. I hope the remain as Airtel for atleast 6 years oh.

Lastly I finally finished paying Barclays Bank my student Loan. wicked

The most important event that happened on the African continent, without a doubt, is the adoption of Kenya's new constitution. It stands in a class all by itself in terms of its far reaching significance for pointing to a more prosperous future for African nations. It was Africans solving African problems themselves. The Kenyan leadership as embodied by Odinga and Kibaki showed what was possible if we Africans put our minds to it. Though I am not Kenyan(Nigerian), I cried tears of joy to see fellow Africans being able to resolve some of the fundamental challenges that faced us without external intervention. THIS is the spirit which other quarreling African nations must imbibe in order to obtain the peace and stability that is a prerequisite for progress and development. The African continent can do it and slowly but surely, with wonderful examples being set by countries such as Kenya, it is on it's way. Congratulations to Kenya once again on the brightest star in the African firmament in the year 2010.

Obviously, 2010 will remain a year, I wouldn't wants to part with in such a hurry. Series of events have taken place since the beginning of the year through this ending.In the political scene, unending court cases of election to lawmakers jumbo pay has raised more questions than answers

I got my job back I had resigned and left for a year and three-months.Divine providence through twist of fate gave my country a beacon of hope in the person of Goodluck as Mr President.

[Personal details removed by Moderator]Really, it's Complex Situations As Personally According This Year 2010 Was More Laughable And Worries, Early July I Got My First Child That Was Unforgettable Dream , OtherSide Our Country Specially in The Capital Somalia Mogadishu Roads Was Blocked Except One Horrible Way That Called Warshadaha Street .
I Think This Year Became Full Of Laugh And Worries
Neverthless, According To Me Was The Year Of Achieving Dreams And Facing Worries

The year 2010 lasted too short for me and as I reflect to the events I realize that paying off creditors was good for my pocket book. I decide to buy only when I can afford or save and then buy when the funds are available. Did I accomplish my goal, lets say we are at the half point? Does this keep my spending habits under control? I am still working on it.

My high lights for 2010 include the hosting of the World cup by South Africa, the first of its kind on AFrican soil and the amazing performance of Ghana. The death of Yaraduah and the crowning of Mr Good Luck as president to confirm his name. The ascention to power by Geneneral Konateh to the presidency of Guinea. Finally, the confirmation of West Africa's only surviving ddictator in the person of the intransigient Gbagbo of Cote d'Ivoire

No.1 was the world cup it will be a long time until before Africa gets another one i love going to the games It was a once in a lifetime experience

[Personal details removed by Moderator] There are lot of positive and negative things that happened in Africa, we as African knows we are getting there wiht hopes and bright future.I personally had a challenging year and broken heart. I just celebrated christmas with tears in the absent of the one I love. About six months ago I lost my dear mother. this lady was all in my life and I never celebrated christmas without her. that sweet African dishes prepared on christmas by my mum, left unforgettable taste and hungry in my bella.May I use this time to send special tribute to all that has fallen down the way in 2010.I love you all.

THE OWRLD CUP IN SOUTH AFRICA WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF MY LIFE, EVENTHOU I DID GO TO SEE THE GAMES MY HEART WENT.
THE TOGETHERNESS THAT THE WORLD CUP BROUGHT TO AFRICA MAD ME CRY BECAUSE NO ONE THOUGHT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT WAY. THE THOUGHT OF THE WORLD CUP STILL BRINGS TEARS OF JOY TO ME.
AM NOT GOING TO COMMENT ON ANY POLITIC BECAUSE AM SICK OF AFRICA POLITICS.

TALKING ABOUT THE YEAR 2010 LETQS NOT FORGET ABOUT POOR PEOPLE IN HAITY THAT WAS STRONGLY SHAKEN BY THIS UNFORGETTABLE EARTHQUAKE LETS SAY A PRAYER FOR THEM SO THAT THERE CAN BE PEACE THERE.AND ABOUT IVORY COAST LET SAY THIS TO ECOWAS TRY DIPLOMACY INSTEAD OF FORCE WE DONT WANT BLOODSHED .PEACE IS BETTER THAN WAR

2010 has been a year with remarkable events
from deadly eathquakes to the late final rush problems in Cote Divoire.
followin the news around the world and specially in Africa has been many times discouraging.
But mine has been nothing short of adventrous. from losing my job at the very beginning of the year to extensive travels and an excrutiating tedious job. All thanks to God, 2010 has been a great year.

The strong platform that has been created by UN goodwill ambassadors, musicians and others to spur Africa into socio-economic transformaton, coupled with the looming danger in Ivory Coast, would stand to be my defining moment as 2010 edges away.

If the three West African leaders steer through the part of peace for the millions in Ivory Coast, they would have succeeded to thwart the spilling of blood in that country and this in itself a honourable feat featfor ECOWAS.

As 2010 clock ticks to its ultimate end, there will be no better legacy than the need to thwart the impending danger in Ivory Coast.
