He then proceeded to London where he studied Law at London Metropolitan University. He currently lives in London with his wife and three children. Mr Aneke»s academic and work experiences in both developing and developed countries have put him in a good stead to critically analyse issues of Africa development. This is exactly what he has done in this book. Mr Aneke, just like many, is inclined to believe that Africa is rich in natural resources and that the people of Africa are not fundamentally underdeveloped. However he believes that the right home grown instruments of labour in form of relevant technologies have not been developed in Africa, by Africans. He argues that Africa cannot develop without doing this. He also believes that the continent will never develop if the the meagre wealth created for Africa by foreign technologies, and AID, continue to be stolen by African leaders with the active collaboration of western powers. In the context of the above, Mr Aneke therefore considers technology as the missing link of Africa development, and corruption as the morbid (deceased) link of the continent»s efforts.
