Hippos kill more people in Africa annually than any other wild animal.

Personally, I regard myself as an intellectual 'rebel,' kicking against the 'old colonialism-imperialism paradigm' which has landed Africa in a conundrum.

In the West, the basic economic and social unit is the individual; in Africa, it is the extended family or the collective.

Traditionally, Africans hate governments. They hate tyranny.

Western-style multi-party democracy is possible but not suitable for Africa.

What Africa needs to do is to grow, to grow out of debt.

The only good dictator is a dead one.
