As Africans in the Diaspora, we have every right to expect something in return for our money. We do not have to simply give it away. We can expect a return on our investments. Returns are possible because there is a huge demand for products produced in Africa. But, we do not yet have an infrastructure to satisfy that demand. When we invest money in infrastructure development, we should expect a monetary return when the new infrastructure bring new profits.
