This is a wonderful social gospel almost as good or even better than what many Imams or pastors or preachers will tell their people today and next sunday.
Incidentally for where Modern Africa is coming from, and where it is heading to, at least as at now,it is doubtful whether and how this or the next generation can lead their people to this quality of thinking!
I submit that those who helped to create social and political monsters as states or societies in modern Africa may well have questions to answer on this scenario-perhaps even the friends or "cousins" of the man on bicycle whose adventure in Africa produced the man who found a fleet of cars relevant for this road to the office in a poor Kenya!
