“You cannot have independence when you leave in place the machinery of your oppression.”
“Africa should be left on her own to carve out a democracy that suits the prevailing conditions of each particular country.”
“NGOs will not save us, Aid agencies will not save us, the World Bank will not save us, the IMG will not save us. Salvation is within.”
