Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.
A world that works is a world where there is sustainable development, peace, progress and general well-being of her inhabitants. A world where human life is respected, everyone is the other’s keeper and where God Almighty is worshiped.

What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
The most pressing problem I see the world is facing today is Inequality Problem. The political, economic and social terrain worldwide is not the same. Therefore, some people are called 1st world, 2nd world and 3rd world. While the 1st world countries seem to have everything going well for them, the others are wallowing in poverty, disease, environmental degradation and so on. As long these problems are profound in the other worlds, the whole world will continue face problems.

How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
These problems can be solved by the coming together of all world governments for dialogue. The 1st world can help the 2nd and 3rd world to reach the 1st world status. Governments of the world have to realize that the whole world is made up human beings who are creatures of God and deserve to have equal opportunities.
