Forget aid and money Africa needs IDEAS

Forget aid and money Africa needs IDEAS

"If ideas are capital, why is Africa investing more on things than on information, and more on the military than on education? Suddenly, I realized what this idea could mean for Africa. If the pen is mightier than the sword, why does a general earn more than the work of a hundred writers combined? If ideas are indeed capital, then Africa should stem its brain drain and promote the African Renaissance, which will lead to the rebirth of the continent. After all, a renaissance is a rebirth of ideas. And knowledge and ideas are the engines that drive economic growth."

From Philip Emeagwali’s speech delivered at the University of Alberta, Canada, September 23, 2006
