Because it's unacceptable that the aid worker's chauffeur only speaks his own tribal language, an applicant is needed who also speaks English fluently - and, ideally, one who is also well mannered. So you end up with some African biochemist driving an aid worker around, distributing European food, and forcing local farmers out of their jobs. That's just crazy!

The countries that have collected the most development aid are also the ones that are in the worst shape. Despite the billions that have poured in to Africa, the continent remains poor.

Africa must take the first steps into modernity on its own. There must be a change in mentality. We have to stop perceiving ourselves as beggars.

Africans only perceive themselves as victims.

Africa is always only portrayed as a continent of suffering, but most figures are vastly exaggerated.

Africa is like a child that immediately cries for its babysitter when something goes wrong. Africa should stand on its own two feet.
