    I am from Cameroon and this woman should definitely become our president. She was spot on for many reasons. Africa has a leadership crisis with the same old dictators running the show from since I was a child. I still get the names of most African heads of state correct because the names we learned in primary school have not changed. It is still the same president for most of our lives. We have more wealth in natural resources and human potential than she mentioned but people are going hungry because of a regime that does not put peoples' interests at heart. Kah Walla's approach to power is truly creative and full of vision. For a start, she knows the facts and has a great world view. If her vision for Cameroon becomes reality, we will be the envy of the world. We've had opposition parties for a long time, but unlike her approach, their leaders offered no vision for the country. Corruption is rife in Cameroon with zero accountability for those who mismanage state funds. A sufficient budget is always allocated for state projects and then the same ministers who allocated the budget, work with contractors to steal the money and only about 20% ends up where it was intended. The result is unfinished roads and bridges where people continue to die in road accidents that are preventable. The list goes on. It's a sad picture.

    Africa in general and Cameroon in particular need people with this type of vision. I just hope if she wins the presidency or hold any responsiple post in government she will not become infected with this corruption virus we have in Cameroon

    my sister you r the only african person that i 100% share,and wht u say is true,i have tried alot in europe past 20 years ,working working,but not achieving,
    i suspect Africa is under hidden colonization through corrupt leaders,and Africans does not understand yet and will take time.
    natural resources are coming out from land and sea from the continent to asia europe weekly,and people are suffering still daily basic.
    so thank you and i am your Somali support.....victory for transparent Africa......

    I have listened to this talk several times and each time I learn something new and am fueled to think at a different level - bigger and brighter. Abundance for Africa because it is astounding that the continent with the most has the people with the least. There is definitely a magnitude of change happening in the right direction!

    Awesome Kah. You exhibit courage not only through your words but through your action. There isn't any globalization without Africa but with it. At the dawn of the 21st century no individual country or the world at large will succeed without Africa. Gone are those days! Africa's success is the world's success and vice versa. Greed and political hypocrisy on either side are just stupid road bumps to a lasting and sustainable globalization. Great presentation! Thanks. "Njika"

    I was thinking these days that in a place like Africa what needs to make the people live a better life ? A system a very constructive system not by colonizers or or Asians. But African by African even a better education system growing up being proud of to be an African having good things to talk about inspirations from my own ...,. Buying and sealing is not development(it sounds but greed, maybe it needs big book to explain it. That's why we always talking about crisis and collapses ) . life is more depend on about giving and exchanging quality service.

    I think she is inspired to lead.
    I have been on the field and know so well the reality. It will always be a very taught battle if the Economic (porverty) Situation of the majority of Cameroonians is not improved. If we do not invest in education as a strategy to overcome vulnerabilities to political manoeuvres. If we do not reduce the number of DIVIDED political parties. There are just so many political parties in the opposition in Cameroon. Why should a country like Cameroon have more than 250 political parties? In my local community the youth in the face of poverty are being manipulated during this period. In the Women’s right organisation that I consult, a project was funded ‘EMPOWERING YOUTH FOR THE NEXT GENERATION....’ but the reality is that the state of poverty coordinates their life. We need to get the African youth population out of poverty and then educate them to get out of political vulnerabilities. No matter how sweet and nicely nurtured a political project is the economic situation of the electorates and their level of education will determine the choices they make.
    She has been powerful on stage. I love when she said ‘as Africans we should start renegotiating our contracts.....’

    Fantastic way to put to shame the myopic disciples who think Pidgin English is the way to reflect Cameroon's level of development.Yes indeed, even in the darkest night there are some bright stars
