Done with the visits of some hospitals and other social centres, Obama stopped at the International Conference Centre in Accra, where he delivered what some observers have already described as an ‘indicting and same time encouraging speech’ to the Ghanaian people and by extension to the people of Africa. According to the US President; ‘Africa's future is up to Africans’.

Obama praised Ghana's economic growth, tagging it to Ghana's efforts in putting strong democratic features and a reliable judiciary structure in place. Presenting his vision of democracy, Obama commented: ‘We must support strong democratic institutions. Vibrant democracies will advance prosperity. It will advance peace’, the US President whose father comes from Kenya noted.

Obama advised Ghanaians and the rest of the African people, specially opinion leaders and those in position of power to build institutions that serve the people. ‘The world will be what you made of it,’ he said. He will quickly add: ‘Africans must take responsibility for their future.’

Obama prescribed as ingredients for exciting democratic structures in Africa: ‘An independent press, a credible judiciary and the rule of law.’ At the close of Obama's lengthy speech to the Ghanaian parliament, your Voices of Africa Media Foundation reporter in Buea, Cameroon, took to the streets to find out what Cameroonians think about the Obama visit to Ghana and the first in Africa as US President.
