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

Africans are taught to be beggars and not to be independent.

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.

No one can really picture an African as a businessman. In order to change the current situation, it would be helpful if the aid organizations were to pull out.

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!

Africans only perceive themselves as victims.
