in theory, of course, it can because every country has the same opportunities.. the biggest obstacle for countries in Africa to become developed countries is the ruling government in each country. if they focus on not enriching themselves (because there are many cases stating that corruption in the African continent is very large) but focus on building a good education (providing free and equitable education and providing scholarships abroad to outstanding students) then I believe their countries will be developed countries..
education is the best weapon to determine the future of young people in each country, if education is good then human resources will increase. countries in Africa on average have very abundant natural resources but they are not in balance with their human resources which are still very low when compared to countries on other continents..

There is even more than that, because of the corrupt leadership there is lack of opportunities for the prepared people in the continent...
To be honest with you, corruption isn't the exclusive preserve of the Africa continent. It cuts across other continents but the difference with others is the punishment for corruption. Leaders in Africa don't have the political will to do the right thing when they stand alone. The tendency to perpetually crave luxurious goods and material gains have made them monsters to their people whose collective wealth they plunder. In the US, it's do the crime, do the time because the US and most of Europe have strong and organized institutions that take care of such unlawful acts. 
The simple truth is — Whatever Africa has as natural endowment is taken away from it through the kleptomaniac tendency of its leadership. Nothing else is responsible for the backwardness we see in Africa. It's not as if the continent isn't peopled with intellectuals who can drive it forward. Outside the shores of the Africa continent, its citizens are known to be at par with their contemporaries in whatever field of endeavor they engage in. Also, remember that civilization started in Africa (in Egypt). It's a fact. History books are there to buttress this. It's really sad bad leadership has backtracked the continent. So sad.
There is even more than that, because of the corrupt leadership there is lack of opportunities for the prepared people in the continent and so a majority of them have no option but to move away from their countries and their families and end up working on other countries with more opportunities, and this is bad because it is precisely those people that could move their countries forward but they have no option but to leave by the lack of opportunities and as such the corrupt leadership can remain in power for an even longer period of time.

I am an African, resigned from my banking job and started a personal life pursuit, I get all my basic amenities myself, repair my road, fix my electricity, transformer, provide security for myself and even water. My nation is rich in natural resources but we have corrupt leaders who think only of today and never plan for tomorrow. Colonial masters are never our problem.
The problem for most countries located in the African continent is that for some reason or another the people at the top always end up being of the same kind, they do not care about their population, they only care about themselves and the profits they can accumulate while they are in power, and this means that a great deal of money that should have been used to improve the lives of their citizens instead is stolen and it never reaches the people forcing them to work even harder to put food over the table and to neglect their studies. 
Politicians in Africa are usually crooked ones, and when you go crooked once you do not come back because when you are crooked you make sure that you are paying the right people to make it go on and even if someone totally different than you comes they have to come there with the same route and not any differently.
Let's say you bribe the networks the news channels the newspapers the police and many other places and make sure they make your propaganda and anyone that is against you is a criminal, a bad person, and all around even as further as terrorist, why? Because if you promote your opponent as "He is good but I am better" eventually people will be like "you are not so good, maybe he is better" but if you claim he is basically Hitler reincarnated that means they might say "he is bad but opponent is hitler so let's still keep voting for him". The moment Africa gets rid of these crooked politicians they will get better.

African countries can be developed. The major issue is the leadership that have taken corruption as a daily dose
this is i think the major problem in those countries. though corruption is all around the world, but i guess african countries are some of the worst. they are rich in natural resources, so if they can utilize those properly, they will be developed in no time. but it really depends on their leaders where they want to go. still trap with the old ways (corruption) or change for the better?
Logically, Africa is a continent that has abundant natural resources, and natural disasters are very rare there. Like earth quake or
hurricane, even floods are rarely heard of in Africa. Therefore it should be very likely that Africa country will become a country
developing with abundant natural wealth. But the leaders of countries with less good quality, make countries in Africa close to poverty.
So countries in Africa needs a smart and honest leader to make Africa countries into developed countries.

The shortcomings of the African continent in my opinion are human resources that are not yet professional.
so they still can't manage their country well, plus the frequent inter-tribal wars.
so that outsiders can take advantage of it to take advantage. Just look at the country of Libya, the former richest country in Africa, destroyed because of America. the tip is to control the wealth of the country of libya.

Africa is the third largest continent in the world and the second most populated after Asia. With an area of 30,224,050 km² including the adjacent islands, Africa covers 20.3% of the total land area of the Earth. With a population of 1.2 billion people as of 2016, this continent accounts for about 16% of the world's human population. So in my opinion, Africa could develop rapidly.
Africa is known as the poorest continent in the world. Where the rich outnumber the poor the reasons for their poverty are political instability corruption and terrorism. Today, Africa is plagued by natural disasters civil wars, refugee crises, economic woes, and terrorism. But now there is a touch of modernity the intervention of political leaders has diminished somewhat and the health sector, including education is improving in every aspect. the highest priority is being given to population control.

the reason why countries on the African continent find it difficult to develop is that human resources there are still low.
greed is still a very major cause of the problem there, without changes in human resources there, it will be difficult for countries on the African continent to develop.
Africa continent are actually diamonds that have not been sharpened, there are many extraordinary natural resources there and should be able to prosper the inhabitants of the African continent.

There are human resources but not enough skilled labour. In fact we could make a long list of problems most African countries are struggling with. Poverty, coruption, lack of education and healthcare... If things continue the way they are the continent will become hot and dry due to climate changes before it becomes developed.
I have repeatedly said that it is the uncontrolled population explosion in Africa which is preventing the development. If half the population remains as children, then the dependency ratio increases and the governments will be burdened with increasing pressure to allot more and more resources to education and skill development. If they could slow down the population growth, then it will be easier for the governments to provide education and healthcare to everyone.
I don't think the population increase is causing any of the hindrances to the development as a country, if they are kids the funds needed is going to be lesser and the returns they are going to get is huge but the country is getting poorer because they are getting looted by various countries and their own leaders.Sonner than later because of social media and mass awareness, people will develop and all the politician who had controlled or never wanted people to come up in their life due to vote banks etc will see how things changes quickly. Also, basic things is education and if people send their kids to school and education improves all other things will start to fall in line and all such countries which may be lacking behind today but in coming 5-10 years would be much better than today and can grow at much faster pace.

You can also add the corrupt countries who controls most of the country in Africa. We can take example the situation in Mali right now where soldiers are now fighting against their own government, and the president have no more choice but to resign. greed is still a very major cause of the problem there, without changes in human resources there, it will be difficult for countries on the African continent to develop.

Africa is big, but divided among their leaders most of them are corrupt and can't bring the country's economy good. If there's a good reform from the very basic, there's still a chance for them to grow but its hard to see it for now.
African as a whole was among the best developed in the world, some years back. But, right now they have failed to increase human experience and awareness of the world around him.if African can avoid corruption or see corruption as an evil to them, they can still be among the best countries in the world.
This is the Problem because most of African country seems to be having issue of being corrupt and Red tape.this same reason why they cannot Move on now and staying in bad economic situation.
If they will only Let adopt Bitcoin?i am sure development will happen eventually.
It surely would be great to help Africa be developed since there can be lots of opportunities that can be appear along the way. Their manpower are always versatile in their own ways and that would be great if they are given some guidance on how to benefit from that. African countries may only lack the proper tools to develop their lands and helping them in that way would really be beneficial to them.
How can they accept help if their Government itself is the problem?African continent is rich in resources but the problem is it wasn't being Held in right manner instead corruption covers all the system and only Few are getting the profit and country is staying in Hell.
I think African countries will develop but for now, their education is underdeveloped. Although European, Asian and American countries have invested in Africa, they only invest in exploiting Africa's natural resources. They come and take all the good things from Africa. African countries need to pay attention to the issue of developing Education, Health, and vocational training for the people. They have to develop the country on their own, not let other countries do it for them. It is a long-term strategy. Most of the African countries are located deep in the continent, preventing the circulation of goods.
African countries need an alliance for economic connectivity.

It is very difficult to see its development and change the looked that this country has if the leaders won't even see it and never have concerns of their people. They're such a foolish and greedy leaders who only think about their own benefits but not the whole country and their people.
*African people are most likely just a puppet from their leaders and foreign people/investors
*they have a lot of resources but never have the chance to make use and benefit from it
If they would like a change, it just started by their Leaders mindset but I can see a far from happening since the next and coming leaders will be acted the same and being influenced by the past leaders.
