      @BillGates is a great example of a school drop out bringing about change without a PhD. Do degrees still count today? #myafrica

      .@rsamii Not everyone who drops out of school becomes a @BillGates. Not every billionaire is philanthropist like @BillGates. Logic.

      .@rsamii For me the @BillGates lesson for African youth is that he worked hard and not that he dropped out of school.
