With a grassroots training approach, Africans could be taught how to discern reliable information from unreliable information. The radio is the most popular means of media in Africa due to its low price compared to television. Satellite radios will give Africans more variety of choices and cheaper alternatives to know about the world around them. Furthermore, the radio could be used indirectly to teach Africans about the outside world which seems vague to them and in some cases almost nonexistent. In addition, it could broaden their horizon about history that will make them learn from the mistakes made by the Western world countries and not repeat them.
Investment is always the first step needed to increase national income.
The biggest and the most effective investment Africa can make is in its educational system. In order for Africans to be helped they have to start helping themselves. Otherwise, they will not learn or even use them to improve their poor standard of living. All these factors will result in the education of the Africans, which will eventually lead to the formation of nations of intellectual people who will settle for nothing less than intellectual prosperity. Bad politics, colonization, and the lack of knowledge have only added fuel to the fire that keeps Africa so behind.
