What a shame!

Quote:
For the third time in its six year history, no-one has been deemed worthy of a $5m award for former African leaders.

The Mo Ibrahim Prize recognises politicians who excel in office and leave when they are supposed to.

No one has met the criteria this year.

I do not think any African leader will win this, if they set the standard that high.

Mo is joking with people, why can't he give the award money to other deserving African leaders that have made a difference, that decision will always be subjective!!!

awards are never about the money... you can walk into nairobi sports house - buy one! have it engraved and place it on your sitting room. it's all about 'winning' by being the best you can be and beating others at the same.

I totally agree. If he is serious or has the cash to give out, then the money should be philanthropically distributed to deserving charitable organisations. If he's confused about these as well he can check out the CNN Heroes project to know which ones are most deserving. After all, our African leaders are too rich to go after such little money.

BBI will solve it
