What exactly is it you rebel against? Optimism? Happiness? Joie de vivre?
@rebel51 is alright by me. ???

Nothing like a bit of hot anxt to pave the way for unexpected ozone-sucking jubilation and cock-a-hoopery. ???

Mind you, disappointment and despair is more likely. To be fair. And who wants to be fair? Life isn't fair, It's one long trudge of disappointment and rictal despond.

Why is it that so many of these African talents come to Europe via Scandinavia (France too but that's more longstanding)? Are the visa arrangements comparatively simple?

Is it more difficult for us to be scouting for them directly from academies in Africa as we do in South America?

Nordsjælland are owned by an African academy.
It also goes a bit deeper than that, the group that own Right To Dream have set up a really clever system to funnel talent from Africa to Europe via a number of clubs around the world. It's worth a read on Wikipedia. I believe this will be the future of football, not that I support it.
