    This is a really incisive piece of information. I’m a sceptic most times and came online here with all that but I’ve been greatly enriched. Don’t miss out.

    Nice read. I am most enthused with “Economic Moats”. In remote Africa, establishing a “Palm wine” spot in and around swamps and rivers along roadsides in the forests could also pass for this. Especially when these are around commuting roads, fishing and canoe transport areas. The journey in “The Voice” by Gabriel Okora and the many spots in Sapele/Warri road in Nigeria come to mind. Just trying to localize this beautiful term.

    The competitive edge here resonate with the many opportunities around such bursting and traditional economicfull spots. Places that create many satisfaction for local traders and travellers who should be glad that there is an added service provided – a kind of hospitality – while you trade in fishes and voyage through quiet African rivers and streams.
