1. 0:00let's go to another comment
2. 0:03kinking kingdom Theodore do you think
3. 0:06Africans hate themselves because leaders
4. 0:11have made them think that they hate
5. 0:13themselves I don't think that the
6. 0:17African has really hated himself it is
7. 0:19simply that either they do not have the
8. 0:22kind of tools that they really need to
9. 0:25have and must have in order to walk
10. 0:28their way to the club of freedom because
11. 0:33at the end of the day Africa is endowed
12. 0:37with almost everything you can think
13. 0:40about to tell you the truth for there is
14. 0:42no need why an African kid should not
15. 0:47have a guarantee of three meals a day
16. 0:51there is no need why Africa should be
17. 0:56crying for things that are surely a
18. 1:00patent almost everywhere I think what
19. 1:03Africa needs is good leadership
20. 1:06it needs leadership that is made up of
21. 1:11men and women with the character with
22. 1:14the integrity it's not just about the
23. 1:17degrees it's not just about being
24. 1:20generous with ranks on your shoulders
25. 1:22and whatever you and you are able to buy
26. 1:25and drive a tank it's not about having
27. 1:28an Air Force and your flight and
28. 1:30whatever it's about having the ability
29. 1:34having the sense of organization
30. 1:37mobilizing and organizing and frankly
31. 1:41making sure that you are patriotic to
32. 1:45your community your society not
33. 1:49necessarily patriotic to your stoma
34. 1:52because we need each other and when you
35. 1:55think about it when you look at
36. 1:57traditional Africa traditional Africa is
37. 2:01a very
38. 2:03would courage a very good society with
39. 2:07great values in fact when you talk about
40. 2:10Africa you're talking about extended
41. 2:13relationships okay let's move along
42. 2:15let's move along let's go to each other
43. 2:17'mo nica come Bombay
44. 2:19do you see the current political
45. 2:22leadership in Africa having a desire to
46. 2:24unite as one where in fact you know it
47. 2:29seems to me that we found us at least
48. 2:34all the people that were very much
49. 2:37interested in that kind of idea that
50. 2:39kind of society it looks like are they
51. 2:44pretty much live would at a time when
52. 2:49unfortunately at that time they did not
53. 2:52have the opportunity to do it but if you
54. 2:54know when you think about people like
55. 2:56Kwame Nkrumah for example when you think
56. 2:59about people like secretory over Guinea
57. 3:03Conakry you think about Colonel Gamal
58. 3:05Abdel Nasser of Egypt you think about
59. 3:09Marimo Julia's camera nearly of Tanzania
60. 3:13you think about my friend the Zambian
61. 3:17founding president dr. Kenneth David
62. 3:21Kahuna these were people how about
63. 3:24mention of water of young people like
64. 3:26mr. Boddy there is no question about
65. 3:28that
66. 3:28you can't dine that quality those
67. 3:31especially Milton Obote t1 the one that
68. 3:36became prime minister of Uganda on
69. 3:39October 9th 1962 at least after 1971
70. 3:46when he was overthrown by Major General
71. 3:49Idi Amin Dada he had a great dream and
72. 3:52he was a man that was very
73. 3:55pan-africanist there's no question Erica
74. 3:57you could deny that these were people
75. 4:00who did not have boundaries
76. 4:02nor did they have borders in their mind
77. 4:05what they thought about was Africa it
78. 4:09was a successful Africa it was an Africa
79. 4:14that would accommodate all Africans and
80. 4:17it was an Africa filled with hope but
81. 4:21then they were things that happened and
82. 4:22whatever and since then we have really
83. 4:25had an absence of that type of
84. 4:27leadership
