Africa is one of the world's best places to invest. You are treated like royalty for bringing in money and creating jobs. It's a phenomenon that leaves my head spinning.

Why do we want men and women to come and make money in Africa? Why can't we make it ourselves? What's even more fascinating is that the invitees do not go for small money, it's big money.
