      His root? It would be preferable to say “his country” rather .. mind you, he was born and raised in Ghana. Attended high school in Ghana, he left Ghana for his college education in his late teens...if he is an African American or a Ghanaian American, born and raised in America, then the word “root” would be appropriate.

    We Africans have the obligation to be moral. Our own history demands it. In this perspective, here we should present things in terms of added value. Because if we say 'quit to', it can seems like we do not recognize the added value his time at Microsoft has been to his project in Africa. Therefore, instead 'quit', it can be 'after having worked at Microsoft', this Ghanaian Computer Engineer open one of the best Universities in Africa.
    We must be grateful, we must be moral and ethical. We don't need to copy madness, greed, etc I mean the evil that the colonists, the predators and the organised criminals have brought to Africa.

I believe the video mentioned who supported him to achieve this dream, which is the wife. Apparently the woman is Mathematics lecturer at the university. She supposed the husband dreams, left the luxury and comfort in America, etc. are all these not enough??? Believe me, some sisters wouldn't have helped this guy to this extent...
