An event intended to benefit Africa was held OUTSIDE Africa!
Ironical. What it because the foriegn stakeholders thought it unsafe to visit the continent thay are claiming to "help?" It would be like the British holding a fund raising event to raise money for the flood victims in Nigeria! Is Africa such a fearful place to visit?

No wonder Africa will always be looked upon as beggars.
Our foriegn "friends" are saying to us if you want the money come to us because we are most definitely not stepping foot in that place to be either killed by Boko Haram or by anti gay lobbyists!
