And I think that Africa is making progress that the world needs to recognize and assist the continent to continue on that path.

Africa is on the rise.

It is my firm belief that action on the issues that matter for Africa must emerge from within Africa itself.

Africa is progressing but maybe not in the way you think it is. Even if the overall picture looks good, we must all remain vigilant and not get complacent.

Africa is going through its own historical process of state formation just as Europe and America did. It is just happening much later than other continents because of the interruption of Africa's own historical development by the colonization of Africa by Europe.

I'm extremely optimistic about rapid transformation and change of things in Africa in general.

I don't think Africa gets as much credit as it should have on the world stage. People tend to think of us as coming from The Dark Continent, where nothing good goes on. That's not true. A huge amount of, as I say, entrepreneurship goes on.

By the time Africa is developed, it will be the wonderland of the world, 'cause it will be able to make use of all the mistakes of other nations. But it nah go just drop out of the sky. So we have to put in work.

Africa is the future.

Africa suffered under European dominance for centuries.
