The same way people ask me to quit because of the abuse or that it\u2019s too hard or impossible; that\u2019s the same way our leaders have come to accept that they can\u2019t come and kill themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Intelligent people give up all the time. Put them in a government and they will balk at how difficult it is to confront systems of oppression and dysfunction. They will adopt a managerial attitude and just \u201cmanage what they came to meet like that\u201d.<\/p>\n

We need disruption in our politics. Unfortunately, most of the people the system elevates are those \u201chighly educated people\u201d who even when out of Government, will never take a bold stand to criticize any Government, because they don\u2019t want to jeopardize a potential appointment or that they don\u2019t want to be seen as \u201ca trouble maker\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They want to be able to hang out with the Finance Minister and get invited to social clubs of the same structures that hold our country in poverty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unless we understand that bold characters who are actuated by a sense of justice and urgency are what it takes for any system to reform our country will never be fixed.<\/p>\n

We need people who are willing to give it all up to change the face of this nation. That\u2019s what defined Thomas Sankara. That\u2019s the spirit that defined Nkrumah.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do not let your passion or the fire in you ever dim. We need it to change the world. <\/p>\n
