Chinua Achebe and Cyprian Ekwensi must be exceptions. The former after Government College, Umuahia, Nigeria, was admitted to the University College, Ibadan, Nigeria, to study medicine. The latter was a qualified practicing pharmacists before he took up literature, writing, and broadcasting.

What charitable organizations are legally supposed to do (X) minus what they actually do (Y) multiplied by the unending grey areas and wiggle rooms (Z) = Bono
X - Y x Z = Bono

charitable organizations are legally supposed to list how much of one's contribution goes to overhead expenses and how much to the project. some are much better than others.

This is always the annoying catch with these yeye American and European "charities." The compensation package is always the catch. By the time they pay for the brand new Pajero Jeep or Land Rover of this new employee, one or two free tickets back home to America or Europe per year, competitive incovenience allowance, a villa in the city from where to take episodic excursions to that bush Africa that needs charity water, a driver, and a chain gang of domestic aides, very little will be left of the $2 billion that this new employee is supposed to raise in order to facilitate the re-invention of charity.
Ask Bono.
