Kudos to Ne-Yo and the mother of his children for what they are doing for children in Africa. I am an African myself and am very aware of the struggles we face in Africa. In my opinion, the problem is the us, the African people; we have gotten used to depending on others to save our souls when we so can do it it ourselves. There is nothing to stop us from helping our own. The sooner we, as Africans, heal ourselves of this dependency syndrome the better.
