Many Africans are East Bloc educated.
We have a saying ‘if the Devil gives you a scholarship, take it!’. Education was/is hard to come by, especially university education. Anyone who had an opportunity to be University educated took it.
You will be suprised at the number of Africans trained in the former East Bloc.
When Odinga came of age, there was only one University for the whole of East Africa, Makerere University.
Thank you.
