This has got to be the funniest headline I have read this week, but the truth is the appeal is NECESSARY…lol. So I found this piece on The Observer written by its editorial and cannot but help say they are on point and something needs to be done about our health sector NOW. So I join them in saying African leaders, please die in your countries.

Just a few days after Zambia celebrated her 50th independence anniversary last month, their president, Michael Sata, died in a London hospital, where he had been admitted with an unspecified illness.
A lot of attention has been paid to the man who has succeeded him, Guy Scott, a white man, because of his skin. Few people have noted the embarrassing irony of leaders of 'independent' African countries dying in the lands of former colonial masters, 50 years since independence. Continue...

Eleven African leaders have died in office since 2008 and majority of them it was in a hospital abroad or soon after arriving home. Zambia's Levy Mwanawasa (France) and now Michael Sata (UK), Ethiopia's Meles Zenawi (Belgium), Omar Bongo (Spain), Ghana's John Atta Mills and Nigeria's Umaru Yar'Adua all fit in that category.
Ideally, the poor health infrastructure in most African countries is the reason African leaders, who are ironically charged with improving these facilities, can't use them. But it's also true that African leaders are very secretive about their health; and so, being hospitalised abroad helps them to keep their illness secret and thus their power intact.

It's a shame that a leader can be in charge of a country for 20 years and still fail to create conditions that would enable him or her to get medical attention at home. Perhaps it's because their own health is never really at stake as they have taxpayers' money at their disposal in case they need even the simplest treatment abroad, while their poor citizens are left to their own devices.
Throwing mega parties to celebrate independence under such circumstances is the worst form of self-deception. African leaders who are still living need to restore some pride to this dear continent by establishing or facilitating the establishment of medical facilities that are capable of not only handling their health needs but also that of all their people.

That way, even an Ebola outbreak would not be as devastating as it has been in West Africa as there would be a fairly robust health system in place to manage every health challenge.

Success is not really about the amount of money you have.Strippers in Lagos state earn as much as 150,000 naira weekly exposing their naked bodies in clubs.Also, some politicians steal public funds,and leave their people to suffer.The list of ungodly means of making money are endless.Can we say people who make lots of money by ungodly means are successful?The likes of Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote can never be poor simply because they have a solution to some of human problems.Bill Gate helps solve the problem of information technology.Dangote helps solve the problem of getting some basic needs like salt,cement,flour,steel,oil and gas and real estate.I think success is fulfilling your destiny on earth,and achieving your vision.A lot of rich people today are not successful.What is your own definition of success??? ....
