Dear Editor

Thanks for another great issue of my favourite Africa publication.

Dear Editor

Dear Editor

Your point about the lack of available data when researching about Africa is well made.  It is a real challenge for researchers and it is much harder to challenge some of the stereotypes and generalisations with so many differing and often uncorroborated statistics.

Dear Editor

‘We may not have all the data but we do have the truth of our own knowledge and experiences - and the right to say so.’

Hmmm…..I taught a course on market research and data in Nigeria.  I was shocked by the non-existence of reliable, accurate, unbiased data. I’d say we do not have a fraction of the data required to defend Africa and to make matters worse, the truth of our own knowledge and experiences informs us that Africans themselves hide behind, rely on, and use to their advantage the low expectations not only of outsiders, but of Africans themselves.
