BEAUTIFUL AFRICA
Yes, Africa is a continent, not a country.
If you live in say West Africa, you don't necessarily speak Swahili. You might never have seen an elephant. You most probably have a mobile phone. You might have a car. You might gossip in church. You might bitch about slow wi-fi, the weather and "things being tight".
You follow the news. You might think Facebook is outdated. You enjoy a drink after a hard days work. You fight with the people closest to you, but still love them no matter what.
Africa. Different, but same, same.
Welcome to Africa!
