where are the likes of drogba, etoo and those who were lambasting the french doctors?.......they should quickly donate money for this young guy to improve both in quality and quantity. africans are the cause of our own problems and lack of respect. we don't believe in ourselves....we are selfish and consumers....we are ***barred word*** and talkertives. instead of us to support our inventors to improve we always downplay them and opt for external things. think of kantanka and the students the president commended.... no rich person will even provide grant for improvement. everybody is waiting for visionless governments in africa to do all things. west will continue to exploit, humiliate and even wipe us out if we don't change our inferiority attitude
