Transforming Africa through ideas

Tolu Ogunlesi at TEDxEuston:

If there’s one thing TED makes clear, it is the absurdity of trying to fit high-achieving individuals into neat boxes. Listening to all these people speak, one would inevitably realise that if their lives could be captured by one word it would not be a job or profession, or even a singular achievement or series of achievements, but by a “quest” - to defy convention, conquer uncharted territory, and help in bringing transformation to their societies.
On the need for an ethical revolution:
For this to be Africa’s decade, massive investments in infrastructure are needed, alongside legal and policy reforms to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship. But, perhaps, most crucial will be the fight against corruption...Undoubtedly, the efficacy of the revolutionary ideas that will solve Africa’s many problems will depend on the success of an accompanying ethical revolution.
