<div>Akich,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While i uphold the participation of the Almighty in the
affairs of men on earth, i think in Africa we make God work "overtime",
to quote a friend mine. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If only we could work as much as we pray and lay emphasis on
God, Africa would have changed big time. Americans have applied
themselves to create a system that allows Obama to emerge as a prepared
leader by God. We need to apply ourselves to the development and growth
of institutions that establish and uphold the state in Africa so that
the already God given leaders in Africa would emerge and not be kept in
obscurity by our own undoings. The amount of time Africans spend
praying and sitting in church auditoriums without much action
afterwards is unbelievable, for me, the more closer you are to God, the
more productive you should be.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Finally, i think we need to vacate this mentality of one
day, suddenly a saviour would emerge and everything would change.
Change is a process and we need to work towards it. Obama did not
suddenly show up, read the 200 plus years of effort and commitment to a
cause that we see today. Lets work at building our institutions and
allow the rule of law to work.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">In my view, the content of Obama's

<div style="margin: 0px;">he read it from the telepromoters or
memorised from his mind,<span> </span>he looked</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">natuaral and at peace with both his
soul and conscience. We should remember Abraham Lincoln and Martin

<div style="margin: 0px;">memorable speeches many years back
when such technologies did not exist. Thousands of miles</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">away from the Land of Opportunity
(US), Mahatma Gandhi did the same in India</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">while sometimes barefooted after
losing his home made shoes after a train</div>

decade ago in South Africa, while those who</div>

</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">These are men and women besides other
great world leaders whom have been</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">gifted to be used by God. I humbly
believe God is using Obama to reshape</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">America (how interesting) and the
rest of the world. When you have the most</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">powerful man on earth declaring you
do not need mighty army to win war</div>

where the power is coming from.</div>
