Yes this is talent. But how is Mother Africa helping these talented engineers, what are they doing to help these children, l mean the African continent. We're wasting their future. Blacks we can also do it and do it better through these talented future leaders

From Peter Duku Owusu:

This kind of talents were awarded marks in those days in school popularly known as craft...... Until Mr Kumah had his two children and their teacher started collecting eggs, yams, soap, etc in place of talents.

Nii Otto Nelson commented:

African is blessed with talents but white man education is killing all of it with chew and pour
