Do u think African Presidents(esp. of the poorest countries) should be awarded?

Question

With the poverty amongst the people and the presidents living expensive and lavish, should they win say peace, health, best governance and many other awards for what they are doing.

Also, do you think these guys are really genuine counrtymen or just selfish dictators?

Answer 1

I live in an African country and generally African governments tend be quite corrupt. The politicians live the high life while those who vote them into these positions can barely survive. So no I don't think they should be anything.

Answer 2

Hell No! Look, these are the same leaders who originally aided in the sale and capture of african slaves hundreds of years ago. They don't give a shitt about their people! So they're definately SELFISH dictators that do what they do for profit.

Answer 3

Selfish dictators

Answer 4

Every President from rich or poor countries should be recognized and be given due recognition, provided that they had done good things with their people. It should be the popullace that will initiate such move.

Answer 5

Awarded for what? I personally think it is a disgrace the way things are going, they deserve a kick in the but

Answer 6

Have any of them actually been awarded honours outside theit own countries? Is there a wider context to your question? I shall try a real aswer if you' d provide more context.

Answer 7

well, most of those countries have poor track records with leaders, and power corrupts the best of people, so id have to say they are mostly in it for whatever they can steal.

Answer 8

selfish dictators seems to fit that description more closely don't you think?

Answer 9

Yes, give them all a Kudos bar.

Answer 10

The latter!
