I think the current political system in Africa is a total waste of people’s time and resources. Just like the African masses did not see a gain from two decades of ‘austerity measures,’ the expected dividends of dividends remain a mirage.

I agree with Kwame Nkrumah’s apt definition of western-styled democracy as a ‘competition between oligarchists.’

Only a fool will believe that politicians are ‘father Christmases,’ who will spend their money without expecting to reap rewards.

We urgently need to develop a new governing system that take into account our history, culture and temperament.

I am more inclined towards the Chinese Collective Leadership System of government. People get promoted to the highest echelon based on their individual track records at the provinces.

I am unconditionally opposed to a dynastic rule as it, inevitably, leads to nepotism.

We all know the enormous influence leaders in Africa wield, and not many people will find easy to challenge the wife or son of the president.
