Africa is progressing but maybe not in the way you think it is. Even if the overall picture looks good, we must all remain vigilant and not get complacent.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Africa is on the rise.
I think that Africa has made quite rapid progress and a lot of the conflicts that we saw on the continent have abated.
By the time Africa is developed, it will be the wonderland of the world, 'cause it will be able to make use of all the mistakes of other nations. But it nah go just drop out of the sky. So we have to put in work.
Africa is the future.
And I think that Africa is making progress that the world needs to recognize and assist the continent to continue on that path.
There's a rising tide of concern among activists, economists, and artists about Africa. Theres a temptation to think of it as a monolith as opposed to all these different countries with different problems.
Africa is no more this poor continent. It's on the march.
Too many African countries have already hit rock-bottom - ungoverned, poverty-stricken, and lagging further and further behind the rest of the world each day; there is nowhere further to go down.
Africa is not for the weak-hearted: infrastructure issues are there. The middle class is absent in most of the countries. We have to cater to the low end of the market to grow.
I'm extremely optimistic about rapid transformation and change of things in Africa in general.
