In the attempt to “copy and paste” a Silicon Valley ,we ignore what our inherent advantages are in Africa for  creating entrepreneurial ecosystems and that’s why we are most likely to fail at  it …

Entrepreneurship is not new to Africans.
We are after-all masters of survivalist entrepreneurship
What needs to taught is how to create strong, scalable industry giants…
