How can we kick out poverty? How do we industrialize Africa? How do we fight against its endemic corruption? How can we prevent and settle armed conflicts on the continent? Why are so many Africans maladjusted once back from western universities? How do we contain religious fundamentalism and fanaticism? Do we really fight xenophobia and tribalism? How deeply do we comprehend the principles of the social contract? How do we hold back and eradicate pandemic diseases? How do we contain bad citizenship and insecurity?
The sole aim of these stories is to point out some of the daily behaviors that we, Africans, should rid ourselves of in the process of building better functioning societies.
