"Consider two children—one born in sub-Saharan Africa and the other in the United States. The African child is twenty-five times more likely to die in the first five years of life; if she lives to child-bearing age, she is two hundred times more likely to die in labor; and overall, she will die thirty years earlier than the American child".
- Lawrence O. Gostin
Mismanagement and corrupt leadership is costing us far much more than our worst nightmares could have envisioned.
The world is fast leaving the African continent behind. Lets make haste and join the rest of civilization in its march forward!
In addition to destroying the present, corruption is also serving to ensure that our collective future will be bleak.
