Detailed explanation-1: -Most colonial nations forbade Africans from receiving an education. As a result, there was a lack of wise leadership and faith in democratic processes. Due to this, most nations experienced civil war and corruption shortly after gaining independence.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the most pressing challenges African states faced at Independence was their lack of infrastructure. European imperialists prided themselves on bringing civilization and developing Africa, but they left their former colonies with little in the way of infrastructure.
