My Nigerian friends will read his statement and say, "He's right."

From what they tell me, some parts of Nigeria have never had electricity, especially in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Hard to believe, but that's the way it is.

You also need a stable and at least substantially non-corrupt political situation

Actually that plays in the favor of foreign corporations, who are more likely to pony up bribes in your favorite foreign currency.

A few years ago I recall that IBM announced a plan to set up something in Kenya.

But don't blame the industry for not having a major datacenter anywhere on that continent. You need a stable power supply for that to make sense, which very few countries there have. Even Ghana that used to brag about that is now a basket case, last I checked.
