        @BBCAfrica probably a better question would be, Can Africa afford widespread illiteracy? Ignorance is expensive! #bbcafricadebate

        @Mary_Morgan_ the meaning is illustrated all over. E.g Lack of proper exploration of resources, deaths due to preventable sicknesses...

        @BBCAfrica Yes we can. When we hear the amount of money stolen from government, it's shocking. Better invest in free education.
