The issue with international institutions is that there is a crisis of legitimacy. Trust in these institutions is a serious problem.

The U.S. has been a great friend all these years, but as soon as Africa found itself starting to move up, the U.S. is really disengaging.

Women in Africa are really the pillar of the society, are the most productive segment of society, actually. Women do kids. Women do cooking. Women doing everything. And yet, their position in society is totally unacceptable. And the way African men treat African women is total unacceptable.

I made money. I wanted to give it back to Africa but I wanted to give it back in a meaningful way. So I really want to do something which deals with the root of the problem of hunger, of disease, of ills we have in our society.

The way forward for Africa is investment.

I came to the conclusion that unless you are ruled properly, you cannot move forward. Everything else is second. Everything.

There is a crisis of leadership and governance in Africa, and we must face it.
