"Part of the reason why poverty still persists in our continent is governments inability to work in a bi-partisan manner with the opposition to confront the many problems facing us as a continent. In almost all the advanced democracies a government in power works or listens to the opposition in matters of national importance such as education, defence, energy and the economy. However in Africa such matters are always hijacked by the ruling government to the detriment of the nation and its people". Lord Aikins Adusei

African Leaders At The UN summit




They started dozing after discussion on developmental aid.When they were deliberating on energy and power, they were sleeping.


When they were deliberating on economic development, they were sleeping.
When they deliberated on food security, they were asleep.


When they fixed interest rate on debtor's (African) loans, they were asleep.
When they deliberated on conflict resolution through dialogue they were already snoring.


They only woke up, to support motion for adjournment and signed the communique. Of course!, they need rest, they worked tirelessly back home clamping down their opponents and critics. They spent the night strategising on the next move to subdue their opponents, embezle more resources.


Back home,airports were closed 2hrs before their arrival, motor-ways were blocked 1hr ahead, Armed Policemen stood guard 8hrs before arrival. Rented crowd clamoured under sun to cheer them up, WHAT HAVE THEY BROUGHT HOME?
