Dr. Yassin,

You insulted the old man in your earlier email about rulers, managers, leaders and teachers but he ignored it

The point however is that let's not advise Africa to be emotional but to do what Africa's pioneers did selflessly which was to build the Internet and its core institutions. Today we take it for granted

If the time is right to deepen Africa's Internet with emphasis of the development of business and industries so be it but to get into demands/ransom is not a good approach and to do that from a weak position is a suicidal option for the next generation

Let's beware that there are some lines we should not cross even jokingly. This is one of them

Nii
