  • Actions speaks ...

    Actions speaks louder than words - the English coined this saying long time ago. Give Raila enough time before you can praise him.

    Given his attitude i conclude his performance will be below that of many African Leaders, no need to mention Pres. Mbeki - He is the best President Africa ever had. Raila is just, like Pres. Mutharika said, performing the rituals to please the gods. He is still new in his position, does not even understand the solidarity created by his African peers.

  • In the game of ...

    In the game of soccer, actions matters most than talk. What has Raila done to be considered a "good African Leader"? Anyone can talk, but i think actions should be the decider. Pres. Mbeki has done his part, although not enough, must not be dismissed just like that.

    Raila is praising the likes of Cecil ....>> Like Pres Mutharika said, Raila is performing the ritual to please the "human gods"...

  • Raila Odinga is a ...

    Raila Odinga is a great leader.

    African leaders don't want to discuss Zimbabwe but he does.

    Even former AU Chairman Kuffour - to him all Africas problems are tied to colonialism.

    African leaders don't want to accept that mediocrity in leadership is responsible for underdevelopment. Raila is a Pan-Africanist.

    Mbeki's ideas have failed to harness SA's rich mineral resources to develop it.

    Mbeki can't show regional leadership.

    Raila Odinga of Kenya said the truth. Funnily enough is scapegoating. We cant cinue like this anymore. Africa needs a magic bullet to re-invent itself. In this regard, I would appeal to the USA to come to the rescue of African people. UN has completely failed, AU is a toothless dogs, China is coming to Milk the continent. Please, USA, come to Africa and help Africa get out of rich dictators.
    Please, USA, come to Africa because 45 years of independence has brought zero devlpt. Please, USA come
