I agree is a long way for Africans to recover the damage and suffering
from the colonial era. But to be frank some African leaders are still
contributing to the same suffocation of the people they suppose to
protect and Nigeria since independence is a good example.IMHO craps
like Obassanjo,Yahya Jammeh should go coz they are not fit to lead any
where on this planet.

Respect
