In my last discussion on this topic, the conclusion was, much more than ever before, the Africa continent needs mind-freedom than physical-freedom. As I speak now, the majority of Africans are largely tied to the mindset of the foreigners.

In the two conversations that lasted for about two hours altogether, the need for learning to be contextualized to Africa Society became the fulcrum of our discussion. As we jostled our discussions, it became so clear that I needed to write the second part of what I started last week on (Is Learning global or contextual?) After that discussion, I needed to find out more about how…
