Black Africa is embarking on its second decade of independence with a more realistic outlook and sounder, brighter hopes of genuine progress. But the prediction that the Duke of Gloucester offered to the leaders of Nigeria in 1959 still rings true: "The future may not be easy. You have a heavy task before...
