If you know how many times a common DG of one useless Agency travels abroad, then you will keep quiet.

Market ur goods, no matter how irrelevant and inferior you feel they are. They are still your goods.
Every politician when presented with the opportunity always strive to sell her people positively. That is why u were elected.
Not telling the international community that ur youths are lazy.
