        Earn? Wrong word... The right word is plunder or loot... or just plain steal. 🙌

        A typical African President will divert public funds to his own personal account without hesitation! 'Looting & Corruption' is their reward!

        I think in my country Uganda the President earns more than the whole country.

        What they earn never matters! What they steal is why Africa still treading water half a century after Independence...

        African Presidents don't earn anything, no! Our honest presidents died for us in the war so that they could take everything. Said the Truth!

        Well, there's salary money. And then the money and assets they earn through corrupt activities. Add the two together.
