BellaOnline Forums Travel and Culture African Culture CONTEST: "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind" #2

That's pretty funny, huh?

Just short of a dictatorship, it seems

his presidency lasted 28 years 1966-1994 he was prime minister before that for two years.

Banda was president for 30 years. Nice to meet you all; found out about your site from Twitter, and I think I'll be glad I did. From what I've seen it looks quite interesting!

Welcome Pookie! Glad you found us on Twitter! Feel free to looks around and comments on any of the thread you see here. :-)

I'm going to award the point for the last question to Tse. This one was really splitting some hairs. Banda was president from 1966 to 1994 so roughly 28 years. Pookie, you said Banda ruled for almost 30 years which is correct but two years of that was when he was prime minister and the question was how long was his presidency.

That was a close one!

Tse is the winner of a copy of the book "The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind". Please PM me with your name and address so I can mail out your book.

I do have one more copy to give away tomorrow, so stick around to play another trivia game!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm having a problem putting in my sig; it keeps telling me that it's too long, even when I only put 1 letter! What am I doing wrong?

Thank you! Please let me know if you have received the address in the private message system.
