“Why Westerners are so obsessed with "saving" Africa, and why this obsession so often goes awry? Western countries should understand that Africa’s development chances and social possibilities remain heavily hindered due to its overall mediocre governance. Africa rising is still possible -- but first Africans need to understand that the power lies not just with the government, but the people. I do believe, that young Africans have the will to "CHANGE" Africa. They must engage their government in a positive manner on issues that matters -- I also realize that too many of the continent’s people are subject to the kinds of governments that favor ruling elites rather than ordinary villagers and townspeople. These kind of behavior trickles down growth. In Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe is the problem. In South Africa the Apartheid did some damage. The country still wrestles with significant racial issues that sometimes leads to the murder of its citizens. In Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya the world’s worst food crisis is being felt. In Libya the West sends a mixed messages that make the future for Libyans uncertain. In Nigeria oil is the biggest curse. In Liberia corruption had make it very hard for the country to even develop. Westerners should understand that their funding cannot fix the problems in Africa. African problems can be fixed by Africans. Charity gives but does not really transform. Transformation should come from the root, "African leadership." We have a PHD, Bachelors and even Master degree holders but still can't transform knowledge. Knowledge in any society should be the power of transformation. Africa does not need a savior and western funds, what Africa needs is a drive towards ownership of one's destiny. By creating a positive structural system that works for the majority. There should be needs in dealing with corruption, leadership and accountability.”

“A los ricos no nos gusta pagar impuestos. Preferimos la caridad y la solidaridad. Los impuestos financian derechos que los ciudadanos acaban considerando de su propiedad y ejerciendo como si les fueran propios. La caridad y la solidaridad financian dádivas y concesiones que representan un derechos de los señores, jamás un derecho de los ciudadanos. Dependen siempre de nuestra voluntad, no de las demandas o de los votos de unos ciudadanos que saben que pueden perder los beneficios de la caridad de la misma manera discrecional que los obtuvieron. Los impuestos son obligatorios y anónimos. La caridad supone un ejercicio voluntario y se puede publicitar abundantemente.”
