Kenyan Entrepreneur knows want it takes for an African leader to be remembered: “If your an African leader who wants to be remembered in history, you either have to be a complete nutcase like Idi Amin or Emperor Bokassa or you have to be a complete hero like Nelson Mandela.

He was just a below average dictator who presided over another poor African country.”
