The challenges to development in Africa date back to colonial times when foreigners came and instilled knowledge based on settings non-existent in Africa. Though most blame corruption and bad leadership, Corruption, apathy, manipulation of power has plagued all people groups since the dawn of civilization to this day. The problem with Africans on average is culture and superstition. Unless a people embrace knowledge as a primary objective for the individual and corporate infrastructural development of their people they will stay mired in primitivity and underachievement as other groups have and still do.
