Kwamebeba, I know you are fiercely Nkrumaistic, adherent to African personality, self-determination and self-reliance, but there are a host of things we can learn from others.
There's no question there's a lot the Norwagians can teach us: Their sense of equity & justice, peace waging, environmental literacy & sanitation, and future-focused role image. We need to befriend them and learn from them. And we can teach them the tropical sensibilities you have in mind.
