Because I am an African I reserve the right to say that Africa does not exist simply to make people in this country the UK, or anywhere else in the developed world, feel good about themselves.
I don't think Africa gets as much credit as it should have on the world stage. People tend to think of us as coming from The Dark Continent, where nothing good goes on. That's not true. A huge amount of, as I say, entrepreneurship goes on.
May I suggest that people in many African countries could be suffering from donation fatigue?
It is only through developing and maximizing all its natural resources that a sustainable future for Africa and its people can be secured.
