    He's inspiration on the pitch, but Liberia's new president could struggle to meet expectations off it, writes @fergalkeane47. 🇱🇷 http://bbc.in/2Bk89py pic.twitter.com/dtdOQcSrXQ

        Africa's problems are more complex than mere democratic change of leaders. The day we shall realise this, only then can we start making real progress

        What is democracy if all we do is change leaders but make no progress in improving their lives? War, famine, bad governance , poverty, etc.

        He will struggle but he will definitely thrive.. As it was with football ,when racism and all that was at his door...He emerged winner of the Fifi footballer of the year. I prefer optimism to immature criticism and negative expectations...Liberia RiseUp.

        Change begins by bringing in a person with a different mindset, of course coupled with the change of governance strategies and system, only then can we realise some positive effects towards citizens livelihood. Otherwise its a mere rhetoric gesture
