My issue is actually the social media, if all these are not out for everyone to see it’s better.
This is a real pressure for some of us. We genuinely want a good life too but this is too much of a extravagance and we all know! Let’s not pretend that it’s not getting to us.. – at Accra, Ghana
African Drone and Data Academy (ADDA) retweeted
People don’t rate us at all and just about a year ago
We were the ones giving you hope that life would move on when you all have given up and money even can’t save you.
Put some respect to Academics please, I beg you in the name of God.
We sacrifice a lot! Don’t disrespect us! – at Accra, Ghana

One person tweeted, on the list of people attending Cubanas event,

Africa is home to more than 200 million youths. Growing up in a changing world, they have to adapt to changes quickly. They have to acquire job-specific skills to compete in a changing world. The @DroneAdda is a good example of an institution preparing them for this new world.
