Why is Africa losing its best brains?


 African students prefer foreign universities


Thousands of Africa's professionals and students are leaving the continent for better prospects in Europe, USA or India.
For instance, it is estimated that more than 10,000 South Africans for instance left the country for America and Europe in the last year alone.
A majority of professionals who leave the continent include lecturers, nurses, doctors are leaving for greener pastures away from home. Most of them are reluctant to go back home, they would rather seek jobs abroad.
According to statistics, the so-called brain drain costs the continent an estimated 4 billion dollars per year - in what has been pronounced as a slow death for Africa.
The BBC's Africa Live programme asks: Why is the continent losing hundreds of its best brains to the west?
If you're an an African working, lecturing or studying in the West, what's your story?
