africaexpert is supposedly an expert on Africa but has evidently lived only in Morocco -- which is not exactly a typical African nation.

I've lived and taught in other African countries as well. And you?

Africaexpert,

You are the one who holds yourself up as the expert, so you don't need to ask others about where they've lived. In fact, it's a bit of a cheek you even asking questions when you barely answer any yourself.

Just state the African countries you are an expert on.

I've lived in Africa a number of years, I do know rather quite a bit more than the average armchair jockey visiting this site who has never even stepped foot in Africa, and if I haven't lived or visited in any specific African country I have quite a number of contacts I can consult to find out more if need be.
Based on my experience, I have provided useful advice to many inquiries on this site as well as on other sites. If you have a problem with my screen name perhaps you should find someone else to bother with your nonsense, because I see you providing nothing of value here.

Yes, as if I am going to take advice from someone who makes comments like this:

"If there's a way to scam someone, a Moroccan has probably figured it out." (Best employer in Morocco thread)

Let's face it: the self-described "expert" about the continent of Africa seems to know a bit about Morocco only.

Let's face it: You have no idea what my knowledge or experience encompasses. You have very little to offer, or to interest or entertain yourself and you prefer to troll here.

Since when has questioning credentials not been considered useful ...

Perhaps our 'expert' believes all it is told ... which should lead to its advice being questioned even further ...

Perhaps rather than "Africaexpert", the name "IhavelotsofcontactsinAfricaExpert" might be more appropriate. Come on ... 'fess up.

That has been discussed in another post. Lots of trolls in this topic, that's for sure.

Oasisdweller/Africaexpert,

You like insulting people by calling them trolls, don't you?
