1/ The leadership crisis in Africa emanates from a convolution of governance & politics. We have dysfunctional political values, that place hope & change in the hands of persons who want to run for political power. There is a difference between an elected 'leader' & a leader.
2/ We tend to confuse these two. We forget that a 'non-leader' can be elected. We have plenty useless & inept people in elected seats who have failed to deliver to the electorate. Sadly, most of these continue to be voted for every electoral year. #FarceElectoralDemocracy
3/ We got so excited by colonial hangover, adopted everything left behind by the western colonizers & never bothered to create our own systems that actually work in our context as Afrikan countries. The colonizers left us with a farce & grand fiction called "Electoral Democracy"
