I haven't studied it in detail, but from what I have seen, the natural experiment that Buenos Aires ran over the past six years seems like yet more clear evidence that rent control limits supply and (ironically) raises rents.
The argument Ayittey most wanted Africans to hear, and the one almost nobody quotes, is that socialism was never African.
Pre-colonial Africa had open markets, long-distance trade, and private enterprise. Cloth-weaving, iron and gold smelting, regional commerce.
Property was held by extended families and clans, not by the state.
In 1960, newly independent African leaders had a choice: capitalism or socialism.
Almost all of them picked socialism.
A Ghanaian economist named George Ayittey spent forty years documenting what happened next.
His findings are in print, and almost nobody outside Africa wants to hear them. 🧵
The main reason Nigeria exports raw cocoa beans instead of capturing more value from chocolate production is not simply the absence of local factories.
The real issue is competitiveness. Turning cocoa into globally competitive chocolate at scale requires more than processing plants—it requires integration into global value chains.
Chocolate markets are dominated by established multinationals with strong brands, distribution networks, and marketing power. These downstream activities capture most of the value.
New entrants in Africa face high barriers, including high fixed capital cost, strict quality and food safety standards, unreliable infrastructure, and often limited access to affordable finance.
Even if production is successful, reaching global consumers is difficult without scale and access to established retail and branding channels.
In a market economy, success isn’t just about producing goods—it’s about being able to sell them competitively at scale within global systems.
So the challenge isn’t simply “build more local processing,” but building firms that can survive and compete within complex global value chains.
In all your excitement, do remember that a Fragmented Opposition will not defeat a RULING PARTY in West Africa
Just so we are clear so nobody acts shocked later
Opposition fragmented on ethnic grounds will not tip the scales
As you were..

1/ The notion that a developing country should avoid importing commodities it can produce domestically is flawed. The mere ability to produce something is not, by itself, a reason to restrict consumption to domestically produced goods.
THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!
Who will rise? Who will shine? Who will be crowned champion?
Join us at the Kishikan Generation Next Karate Championship (U-18) as young warriors showcase skill, discipline, courage, and determination.

The African continent doesn’t need more entrepreneurs. It’s full of them.
What it needs is a specific class of entrepreneurs called industrialists: business people who build value-adding firms in export-oriented job creating sectors, not rent capture.
