        @BBCAfrica No. Because political development in Africa is rigged, false. It can never lead to meaningful growth. @AsseenbyJite

        @BBCAfrica economic development. The fact that people are leaving for the diaspora daily where they've got no political rights says it all

        @BBCAfrica I am curious about Africa because the media (Rupert Murdock ) is deliberately keeping atrocities out of the world's view.
