The Real Reason Why Africa is Backward

    To quote a member of the opposition in Jamaica, they need to \”pack their bags and go\”.

    It is not about the age, but the strategies that they use! Even old people in India use fresh strategies – driven by the officers who work for them and make the nation grow!
