Respect for women which was in his 75 Independence day anniversary speech

J'ai un respect énorme pour la maman Africa, ses chansons ont bercé mon enfance. Mais force est de constater qu'à chaque fois que l'Afrique est invité dans les sommet internationaux, c'est uniquement pour chanter et rien de particulier ni de grandiose de l'Afrique n'est mis à l'Avant. Comme c'est triste de réduire tout un continent à l'amusement.
