From Professor Wandia Njoya, Paraphrased The Elite Problem is that Our Elites do not grow organically.It should be from the bottom up.It grows from the community It comes from work.

As they work and become more specialized and develop expertise, representing the best of the person.You become an elite by refining your Knowledge, in the arts, engineering, woodwork, etc. And being excellent, you start to form the elite. Our elites are impose on a system that is not ours.

We are using the West Model. It is the Local work and experience that comes from work that should define our elite.Work from our needs and the material conditions of Society.Elites ought not to be defined by wealth and degrees and certificates.Our elites have been westernized.

They rise at the back of degrees.If you come from overseas, the better.That is not how elites are supposed to be. It should form from bottom up, driven by hard work and local expertise.True Excellence means solving people’s daily struggles, not just collecting certificates.
