Thanks for your apology Jackson, it is accepted. Lets debate.

Let me summarily dispell your fear which is the reason for you opposition.

It is much easier for any South African or Nigerian business to get IP
addresses and then move it out of Africa. A serious business can yet buy
African businesses because of their IP resources. I prefer a South African
or Nigerian university having it instead of a business that will not
benefit africa in the near future.

I will rather empower universities. It is an investment whose returns will
compound. It is a hard choice but a necessary one.

Remember ... Africa need not always play catchup. We can equally leapfrog.
I love the news and testimony of people who have been to Rwanda.

Sunday.
