• Having travelled to some 20 African countries, I find myself, like so many other visitors to Africa before me, intoxicated with the continent.

• New generations are intoxicated with the idea that they can make their presence known on the Internet. When I was young, there wasn't anything comparable.

Hopefully they'll come to the realization that the most important thing is their work and how they conduct themselves.
