First on the poll. Yay!

*coughs*

I think the real problem is the lack of investment in the major, vital services of a nation: infrastructure, diversified industry, trade links and other such things.
Too many African nations concentrate on developing one particular resource in order to make money but too often don't have any backup plans in case the price falls; a far better idea, in the long-term, would be to invest in a little bit of everything.
Too often they have little money to do this anyway, admittedly, but that could be solved by more limited (rather than the huge sums that have rampant interest rates) and moral investment by foreign organisations.
With the development of a strong economy, everything else will follow.
