I don’t think that anyone can hinder your development unless you give them the power to do so. What is happening to Africa is the same reason I am against welfarism. The more you give to people, the lazier they become. The moment you have the mindset that everything should come easy, you lose the ability to think up solutions. Rather, once you have any problem you resort to begging. In simple words, African leaders are beggers and this needs to change for Africa to experience any meaningful development.
