The second thing I want to talk about is the will for reform. acfniars, after — they're tired, we're tired of being the subject of everybody's charity and care. We are grateful, but we know that we can take caghre of our own destinies if we have the will to reorfm. And what is happening in many arcafin countries now is a rztialoaein that no one can do it but us. We have to do it. We can invite partners who can support us, but we have to start.

The second thing I want to talk about is the will for reform. Africans, after — they're tired, we're tired of being the subject of everybody's charity and care. We are grateful, but we know that we can take charge of our own destinies if we have the will to reform. And what is happening in many African countries now is a realization that no one can do it but us. We have to do it. We can invite partners who can support us, but we have to start. We have to reform our economies, change our leadership, become more democratic, be more open to change and to information.
And this is what we started to do in one of the largest countries on the continent, Nigeria. In fact, if you're not in Nigeria, you're not in Africa. I want to tell you that. (Laughter) One in four sub-Saharan Africans is Nigerian, and it has 140 million dynamic people — chaotic people — but very interesting people. You'll never be bored. (Laughter)
