Obama's visit
While I empathize with Mutuma Muthiu’s frustrations (see http://www.nation.co.ke/blogs/-/446718/622710/-/view/asBlogPost/-/12hisdm/-/index.html), I think we should not lose sight of the fact that Obama is the first sitting USA president to bring Africa to the wider conversation immediately after the G8. His visit to Ghana is a good gesture of a man who genuinely wants to engage but misinformed. It will take equally genuine Africans like Muthiu and me to inform Obama.
