Thank you! Criticize By Creating is my preferred way of tackling an issue, which doesn’t leave much room for victimhood no matter how wronged one may have been. As my late beloved Bishop Omar Jahwar, founder of , would say “No matter what happened to you, you are responsible for what you do for you”.

How did Singapore go from a third world country… To becoming one of the most financially successful countries in the world? The answer may surprise you:

When Lee Kuan Yew rose to power, Singapore was facing: - Poverty - Poor infrastructure - Limited access to healthcare and education Singapore was an island of mudflats and swamps. But within 40 years, LKW transformed it into a thriving metropolis and global economic leader.
Lee Kuan Yew reimagined Singapore. Then, he: • Prioritized education • Invested in infrastructure • Established a strong rule of law • Focused on economic diversification • Developed strategic partnerships • Nurtured a culture of entrepreneurship But most importantly…
He created the world's most business-friendly legal environment. As a consequence, Singapore today has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world. It outranks even its colonizers. And it did so by welcoming business.
African leaders can use Singapore’s recipe for prosperity! By creating business-friendly legal environments, we can unleash the potential of our people and drive economic growth. It's not just education; it's about creating an environment that allows human potential to thrive.
Economic freedom is key. Let's build systems that support entrepreneurship and innovation, allowing African nations to prosper, just as Singapore and Dubai have done. The future is in our hands.
Meant to say « manifest yourself”.
