Africa Enters Global Market For IT Outsourcing

Posted by michael on from the race-to-the-bottom dept.

nusratt writes "MarketWatch reports that many organizations 'are moving away from India as the place to outsource, because of the labor churn, and Africa supplies the highest rate of return on investments. New York's parking ticket system is managed from Ghana, Nigeria has an entire ministry for ICT, and Mauritius is building its own CyberCity. Gartner predicts that up to 25 percent of IT jobs today will be moved to emerging markets by 2010'."

    The problem with Africa is that it is full of niggers. They are too busy shooting and raping one another to get involved with the computer industry.

    Indians are Indo-European, Aryan and Hindu (the
    Aryan religion). It shows your racist bent of
    mind (many who protest racism are closet racists
    themselves), since Muslims/Jews practice genital
    mutilation, not Indo-Europeans/Hindus/Buddhists.

    In India, a small Muslim sect, the Daudi Bohra, practise clitoridectomy. Since the article was about India, I figured i'd bring them into it.

    Judging from your post the last place for outsourcing is wherever you are from, because you are clearly clueless.
