Initially I thought this was a joke and when I found out it was not I decided not to dignify such travesty with a comment. However, West Africa has never been known as breeding grounds for great visionary leaders. By the way, Nelson Mandela does not qualify, he's South African. We hail from a society whose leaders have worked tirelessly and endlessly to ensure that we remain the epitome of underdevelopment and if you really think about it, these journalists might as well put names in a hat and just pull one out. Talk about low standards and expectations! Don't you all just all love the motherland?
