The West must learn a lesson that my American bank knows too well and it is this: When you give a military junta a loan, it is analogous to giving a loan to a thief who has stolen my identity. Just as I am protected by the laws of the land, the beautiful people of Africa should be protected from the crimes of the gun-toting thieves and their Western accomplices…
Imagine a ship at sea that is in trouble. The lights keep going out. The engine is faltering. The rudder is unreliable. The first mate is drunk. The crew is demoralised. The service is appalling. The passengers on the ship are very dissatisfied…The troubled ship is Nigeria my beloved country.
Corruption a la Nigeria is a reactive phenomenon. It is a crime perpetuated out of the need to survive in the moment and reserve enough for the dicey future.

Students of leadership do not need to look much further in this generation for a leader; for I have found one in George W. Bush, the President of the United States of America…
Charles Taylor, former Liberian President, was very brutal and ruthless to Nigerians. He marked them out as his number one foes and acted in accordance with that hate mentality. But look at where he is today. Is it not an irony?
For those in the West, negative projections on Africa serve a very veritable purpose. In the United States, for instance, the homeless, the hungry and the poverty-stricken members of the society and especially among the minorities only have to view or read about the “African jungles” and they’ll forever be grateful to be Americans…
