"It is not just by talking about democracy that African countries will become democratic. We must act more and talk less. To build a truly democratic society and culture, we must plant the seeds of democracy, enable them to germinate by nourishing them and watering them regularly, and when the plants begin to emerge and grow by carefully and tenderly nursing them until they become as strong as Iroko trees."
Adebayo Adedeji (West Africa, September 28-October 4, 1992)
