I hope your optimism doesn't prove premature. Africa has much more serious problems which continue to keep it out of the loop. You can't see wages rise if everyone is too busy killing and stealing from each other to earn wages.

I have a friend from Nigeria who is also a Chicago school Economist with an Ivy League degree. It's his feeling that things will get much much much worse in Africa before they get any better. The detail level of his analysis it's a little disturbing, and I think he has an excellent point, even if I'm unable to paraphrase it effectively here.
