      All sorts of people have dictated to Africa from slave masters, to colonial rulers to greedy African leaders.

      It’s about time we stand up for our right and start developing Africa by African’s.

      The Asian Tigers got there by doing it themselves, what stops us from doing it ourselves.

      Its time African leaders realized that developing infrastructure and strengthening education is the only way.

      Empowering the youth through education and building true leadership through honesty and hard work is the way.

      Yes I stand for development; I stand for rural industralisations and rural empowerment.

      Lets work together to move poverty from Africa, to see smiles on all children born in Africa
