Simple answer to your question: Yes, why not?! But there are couple of things that is holding it I reckon. Education, political evolution and religious superstitions etc. I think it's just a matter of time.
Also it's war on drugs and rhe prevalence of drug addictions in all the classes of the African community is a major problem, the money laundering, call scams and on top of it the fake medicines that are being distributed in the African countries. I also think that the African countries will be developed in the future, just like China which no one thought that it will become an economic superpower in such a short amount of time and it was once fighting hunger and diseases and poverty just like the situation Africa is in.
