The dialogue begins with an emphasis on how African nations—Ghana, Nigeria, among others—perceive their development status. The students recount their experiences and observations upon returning to their countries, noting changes and persistent challenges. For example, one student from Ghana highlights technological progress, such as the creation of an electric vehicle by Burkina Faso, illustrating that development is possible despite economic hurdles. However, the discussion quickly shifts to skepticism, pointing out the lack of tangible infrastructure and the absence of original innovations truly rooted in the continent’s history.
