        Corruption is a disease & the only cure is send those convicted of corruption to 99 years in prison. This is the only remedy which should be implemented in all countries. If you want to fight against poverty first learn to fight against corruption.

        Arrrrgh....my Africa, E Guinea, with it's about 1.3million people suppose to be living middle class life. But no, as has become part of our DNA in Africa, greed, corruption of the highest level rather has made Africa to still remain the poorest and impoverished continent.

        Good. Every step towards ridding corruption anywhere is a victory, no matter how small.

        These are the sort of Africans molded by Western values. Africa must choose socialism to extricate itself from the stranglehold of inequality and poverty imposed by the West.

        What was missing was his character. He succeeded to soil Africa. Real men of substance don't possess a glutton trait, but ponder on what legal shall I pass on.?

        I don’t support stupid. African leaders haven’t learned anything since the case of General Sani Abacha. lavishing illegally obtained government funds abroad is beyond foolish, why can’t Mr Obiang develop his country to his taste instead.
