Participants attending the Africa Forward 2026 Summit at KICC, Nairobi.[File,Standard]
Miss Wakayo, my nursery school teacher, would have been very proud of a certain French boy who grew up to become the President of France.
This week, the French President Emmanuel Macron interrupted a section of proceedings at the Africa Forward Summit, a meeting attended by a number of African heads of state, government officials, and business leaders, to remind everyone present that it is rude to speak when someone else is talking.
In that moment, Macron won the heart of Miss Wakayo, my teacher of manners back in nursery school.
