just wondering is patrick suggesting that he was not thinking prior to getting that liberal arts education at swarthmore,
It amazes me how africans can with a broad sweep of the brush sell out their kindred for their own selfish ends. This man made millions at microsoft , which he then went home to invest by setting up a university, his life style in accra, ghana is nowhere near that of many poor rural africans , and might be way better than if he remained in seattle ,
african history is replete with leaders who trained in the USA, UK and elsewhere who returned to lead the fight for independence from the colonial masters .
The intellegentsia /intellectuals in africa have had their leadership roles largely restricted by years of military rule , and it is only recently with the help of the same lawyers , doctors , engineers who fought dictatorial regimes in the absence of the likes of mr patrick awuah that market driven democracies are building up in africa , and make it possible for mr awuah to go back to ghana to start a university.
