Pathetic state of African leaders
I am in Accra on the same the day that Barack Obama visited, and I listened to him deliver an inspiring and memorable speech in his ever so charismatic and eloquent style. I had mixed feelings.
I was happy that he did not hold back or minced words in speaking the truth to die hard, stay long African leaders.
But I also have this rather sad and shameful feeling that African presidents needed to be reminded by another peer president of what their obligations and responsibilities should be in simple words and terms so basic that any one could have uttered them in precisely the same forms and ways but they would hold not much meaning except if they came from an Obama.
Now, will it make sense?
