u are right .
It is unacceptable for anyone to presume that African are born generally to be leadership deficit. Far from it. Rather, deficiency in quality leadership among African is socially and culturally asquired. Since the deficien ...

Simple-minded people find simplistic solution. With the type of education African children are receiving, it is difficult to see how they will be different from the current generation. They are being fed on a diet that says G ...

Too many Africa leaders and politicans are selfish, greedy, power and financial drunk. They have no time to develop future leaders because some of them think the countries the leader belong to them and the families.

Eradicate conflicts, fight poverty, good health and education first
Let us manage the African leadership because they are all the same
The problem is not leadership. We all have to provide selfless service. We are all at faults so we should stop blaming it on our leaders. We should all try to put the welfare of the nation before our own.
TALK, TALK . WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR AFRICA? BUMBOCLAT.
The leadership deficiency occurs not only at the national level but from all strungs of society beginning at the community, village, district positions etc. In business, strong coorporate leaders are a must and must be subjec ...

surely Africa needs good leadership to get rid of poverty because the young believe in change
That's it. All the mishaps lead to a lack of leadership quality at all levels. Great point!
ALTHOUGH LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE ARE CALLED FOR IN EVERY CIVILIZED SOCIETY, THE SO CALLED EDUCATED NEED ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DELIVER IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION TO ACCELERATE ECONOMIC GROWWTH, AND TO PROMOTE M ...

people in aboard, our kids can do it.
Lets give them the education and send them home.
TALK ALONE IS VERY CHEAP MR. SWANIKER. SO WHAT CAN YOU DO TO BUCK THE TREND. EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS ALL THEORY AND AFRICANS ARE VERY GOOD AT THAT.
Have you actually study your youth and if so are you going to join me to thank Priz.Mahama for taking a step in putting in more youth in his administration.
That is a very important point. Africa has leadership bankruptcy hence our ever growing problems. We should have selfless and incorruptible leaders because we have all the resources to get us going.
MR SWANIKER, I WILL BE GLAD IF WE CAN TRADE SOME IDEAS. A STUDY CARRIED OUT BY RONJECT GROUP CONVINCES ME MORE ABOUT THE ISSUE THAN YOU HAVE OUTLINED. KINDLY REACH ME AT asumaduemesewoeli@yahoo.com FOR FURTHER DISCUSSIONS.
Sir the out going and the incoming are all the same the only way to tackle this problem is to set up a program to teaching this youth from the grass root about development
WE HAVE GOOD AND POTENTIAL LEADERS IN AFRICA EXCEPT THAT WE ARE FORCED OR INFLUENCED TO SELECT AND VOTE FOR THE WRONG LEADERS.GIVING OPPORTUNITIES TO THE YOUTH IN NATION BUILDING TURNS TO BE WRONG EXERCISE. PICK THE ACTIVITIE ...

IS IT A LEADERSHIP ACADEMY FOR BUYING AND SELLLING.
It is just true and that is what we face in Ghana currently and not until the right leadership comes on board, the nation will be stagnant.
Charity begins at home baby with sharp teeth.A good leadership begins at home, schools and the church. Africans(public officials)take issues personal. It's about time for Ghanaian to vote out public officials who speak with f ...
