“As Africans our leaders failed us and they keep on failing us daily, by trying to keep us poor, uneducated, unskilled, slaves, undeveloped. We are failing ourselves on how we behave, think and how we talk. We are failing ourselves by undermining each other, humiliating one another. Killing each other. Committing crime, misbehaving, and breaking the law . Making fun of each other’s suffering, problems, living and lifestyles. Our enemy is poverty, crime, unemployment, and inequality . We should be ashamed of ourselves for thinking that the people we are hurting and committing crime to deserve it.”

“Choose to fix your heart and mind before attempting to fix the world. Many of us are broken, yet we seek to correct others and improve our city, town, country, or the world. Focus on fixing yourself first. If your mind and heart are in the wrong place or filled with negativity, only bad things will result, leading to destruction rather than creation. Conversely, if your mind and heart are in a good place, only good things will come from you, leading to building rather than destroying.”

“The citizens of the land, the peoples of the nation must be made strong in their convictions of these values. These values and virtues must become the wealth of the people, they must become their pride. They must be reflected in their lifestyle, in their film and movie industries. This value system must be ingrained in their educational system. They must be proclaimed in their pulpits. Homes and families must be built on the wealth of these virtues.”
