Who were the ten people whose life stories on BDAfrica.com captured your imagination most this year?
The answer to that question, we found, includes a few
surprises among the names we expected to see. To inspire your choices
and actions in the new year, here are our ten most-read profiles of
2014:
10 Christian Turner
You expect a suited, robotic diplomat. Instead you
get Dr Christian Turner’s open-collared ease (“No diplomat should ever
travel without a disco ball.”). The 41-year-old former documentary maker
had plenty to say about… plenty.
9 Alec Davis
We have never drilled boreholes, says the man that
has been at the helm of Davis & Shirtliff for a decade and a half.
Oddly, many people think that’s what they do. Alec Davis, 64, set us
right on this and on the secrets to a happy marriage and satisfaction in
life.
8 John Gachora
After more than 20 years abroad, this former
“village boy” and Alliance High School alumnus returned to Kenya as NIC
Bank’s top man. He’s an MIT-trained engineer and the first indigenous
Kenyan to be a Wall Street MD. He chats with us about getting there from
the humble rural village of Gatamaiyu.
7 Alice Chuaga
This farmer from Nyeri county built her first ‘jua
kali’ greenhouse for just Sh16,000 (less than $200) using cheap
materials. Now she is raking in big money as a farm produce supplier.
6 David Owino
