President of Group Ideal, Dr. Nii Kotei Dzani has blamed the lack of development and economic prosperity on the African continent on its leaders claiming most African Leaders fail to think.
According to Dr. Kotei Dzani, Africa is alarmingly behind in development compared to the west due to the failure of African Leaders to prioritise developments that will impact its citizens and help push the country forward.
“Our governments keep on failing us. Today I had the opportunity to speak at AUCC and I said African leaders are not thinkers,” Dr. Kotei Dzani said while addressing an audience at the 28th edition of Chartered Institute of Marketing Ghana (CIMG) Presidential Ball.
“Africa is behind with the new economic growth across the globe. And some of us are concerned about what we [will] do in order to move our continent from poverty. Our governments keep on failing us.
“I get thousands of calls asking why I say African leaders are not thinkers, but I did not say all African leaders are not thinkers. I said African leaders are not thinkers because majority of African Leaders are not thinkers,” he added.
Dr. Kotei Dzani explained that most African Leaders are selfish and siphon state funds for personal gains. He also took a swipe at African Leaders who hold on to power till they are forced out saying that they are examples of authorities in governance who don’t think about their nation’s growth.
“If African leaders are thinkers they will not steal our money and go and put it in Swiss accounts. And if African leaders are thinkers, they will not be in power until we use guns to remove them and in the process destroy state asserts.
“You look at our continent and the kind of resources we have as a continent we should not be experiencing this level of poverty but what do we do, what do we see? African leaders unfortunately take decisions that will make them win an election rather than improve the lives of the people and then those who find themselves at minority also oppose decisions of governments that will make the government win an election.
“So ask yourselves that are these people honest with us, across the continent? It saddens me. We need to know where we are moving to and what we want to achieve, rather than everybody coming and deciding what they want to do. We cannot develop like that. Somebody has started a road and the person is not in power and then somebody comes and says I am not interested in that road,” he added.
The President of Group Ideal, Dr. Nii Kotei Dzani was on Saturday honoured by CIMG group as a fellow member.

It is so true. African politicians are stomach politicians. They only think about themselves, their cronies , friends and families. Time and time again they display these slave and colonial mentality at the detriment of their people. They are poor negotiators hence they write off huge deposits of natural resources to the European partners at the stroke of a pen. They are indeed poor thinkers because they are so inefficient, and lack competence and strategy. They are not forward thinkers hence their actions are inimical against the interest of their own people. They lack imagination, flair and the personality to do their country's bidding. Their over reliance on natural resource for pennies have led their economies to become laughable in the eyes of Europeans and North Americans. They need to sharpen their negotiation skills. It sucks!!
Vague statement; Africans talk too much. What are his Hus achievements apart from feeding his family and friends. LET US THInK!
U hit the nail right on the head my brother.
