A wonderful resume but deficient in good character. All I keep on saying is that in addition to a wonderful educational and professional achievements , Africa need leaders who have character and commitment to do the right thing for the continent to develop. The educated and professionally successful sons and daughters of Africa are the ones who come back to rape the continent in collusion with the whites. Our senses of judgement and hero worshiping attitude towards this people are what exposes us to their manipulations. immediately an average African hears the prospective leader went to either oxford or Havard, they tend to assume these people are our saviours. Education does not reform the inner character of people. We don't even bother to examine their antecedents and any character traits but just sheepishly hand over to them the keys to our resources. Only to wake up one day realizing we have been raped mercilessly . God help us . Why do we keep on thinking everything foreign is necessarily the best . Kwaku kwateng who have served judiciously was even over looked to be a minister when this guy came in. These foreigners came to tell us polygamy is wrong but lesbianism , gay and bisexual is right. can you believe this. Wake up Africans to all foreign inclinations, Critically analyse what ever foreign is brought before you and do what is best for your continent and your culture. Anyone educated outside the continent should not be preferred to the one carefully groomed at home
