Why is this so?
This calls for sober reflections

The GM title requires "GM norms". Basically what this means is that you need to beat GMs to become a GM. The fact that there is no GM in West Africa means that anyone aspiring for the title would have to travel to Europe or some other place out of Africa.

This is just one reason. Lack of interest is also another one.
