Africa is a sink hole for failure. The culture of "respect your elder" promotes incompetence and mediocrity. The youth must rise and disobey the elders who've run the continent aground.

They should forcefully take over power, away from the old deadwoods that lack ideas and are averse to the type of new thinking required to bring economic opportunities to the people.

For as long as people like Paul Biya of Cameroon or Buhari of Nigeria run countries, we will remain perpetually grounded in underdevelopment, poverty, and destiny killing.

Yes, I agree that you should "Do what you are best in and keep the faith." But our country makes these "rag to riches stories" impossible. And this is largely due to tribalism, institutionalized mediocrity, promotion of incompetence, and a mindset of zoning or turn-by-turn.

Aside soccer, does our country make opportunities for competence? As an example, Donald Duke may be the best president for Nigeria in 2019, but will he ever be allowed to be president, especially in a country where zoning and turn-by-turn reserves the office of Nigeria's president to the fulanis - which is why we have a sick and an incompetent deadwood like Buhari?
