Description

I wish that I could say I am enthusiastic about the Mo Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership. But even though its motive is impeccable, it is likely to be viewed with derision, for there just are far too many causes in Africa in more urgent need of monetary assistance, than what could legitimately be seen as the “pampering” of former heads of state.
