It does not deny that African elites may engage in wrongdoing...On the contrary, it asks us to acknowledge – and contextualise – instances of mal-governance in terms of how external donors and companies often enable (and encourage) such actions to preserve lucrative economic arrangements.

Nkrumah’s key text – Neo-colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism – was published in 1965... Less than a year after it was released, President Nkrumah was overthrown in a military coup abetted by Washington.

For example, my book details the marriage of corporate interest and donor aid in the case of the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition (NAFSN). Ostensibly aiming to end hunger in recipient nations such as Ghana and Malawi, the NAFSN has been seen to facilitate ‘land-grabbing’ amid creation of ‘agricultural corridors’. Namely, subsistence farmers appear to be dispossessed in favour of the agribusiness needs of corporate NAFSN partners (including in export crop sectors such as palm oil). The New Alliance is backed by donors including UK DFID and USAID – whose aid lubricates African governments’ acquiescence to land ‘releases’. Donor support toward NAFSN agribusiness interests is publicly legitimised in terms of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).This is just but one example

My book – like Nkrumah’s – will likely raise objections from the donor community and from those academics who constitute their clientele.

Dude is a mentally unstable fellow that sleeps with any female staff he can and the ladies can't complain because you won't enjoy benefits of knàcking your boss.
Has a baby daughter but won't marry the baby mama lady because she was just suppose to be a one night stand that decided to keep the pregnancy.
He even refused attending his own daughter's naming because he didn't believed he was the dad but his family did a DNA and kept the baby.
Though he is a great business man but terrible person. Everyone is a thief to him.
Thinks he is highly intelligent and has all the power to abuse whomever he wants cuz he got money.

Sonnobax15:

Very wicked souls

Had it been you were stolen away from your parents when you were a kid, would you have grown to the extent of having the guts to carry out such atrocities?

To even think that some parents partake in such atrocious acts beats my total imagination

Na only God go fit really help us in this part for the world.
