Bad leadership to blame for failed Western institutions in Africa

Receive greetings from Ogaland. I am here, in the land of the eating chiefs and great generals. I spent a great deal of the day, travelling from Lagos to Abeokuta and back. The traffic was terribly slow. However, the motorists seem to be painfully regaining some values that Africa lost long ago. They are wrestling well against impatience, obtuseness and hyenaism.

We moved at snail pace on dusty, potholed roads that have known better days. Still, you must give it to most of the motorists. They try hard to hold on to what they have recovered of common decency and courtesy. Yet, you still come across the crazy sociopath. This gentleman swerves suddenly into the on coming lane.
