This book summarises some key thought provoking reasons why Sub-Saharan African Countries are not as developed as the rest of the world. The debate is not limited to political or economic reasons alone but touches on several and often overlooked factors such as attitude towards work, social cohesion, questionable superstitious practices, family feuds and even consciousness. The book does not aim to criticize but attempts to create awareness among the current and next generation of young Africans who need to start looking at how they can play a central role in the competitive global landscape.
