Africa is an amazing continent, full of wonders and greatness(almost magical). From the food to the culture, the people, languages and wildlife; it's one of the most diverse continent on the planet.
Africa is believed as the birth place of mankind, and although due to strong cultural beliefs , it is believed to be backward, it was once the pinnacle of modernity harbouring amazing intelligence not found anywhere else worldwide. And it still does.
In this twenty first century, Africa is mostly seen as a failure, after around two hundred years of contacts with europeans ; the continent is still developing at a very slow rate. This is mostly due to , modern wars(which are indirectly the fault of colonialism), diseases, corruption and religion.
It is a well known fact around the world that Africa is rich in human and natural resources. Infact almost half of all the world's gold were mined in south Africa, not to mention the oil. Africa is also the second most populous continent in the world. There are a lot of undiscovered resources hidden inside Africa, but due to the fact that it is under developed a lot of discoveries go unnoticed, talents don't get the required coverage and sponsor they need, most of the forest are unexplored by scientists so slot of species are left undiscovered or are killed by mankind searching for resources. Bad leadership and corruption has become the order of the day, so people who have what it takes to make it better are silenced.
But Africa is rising. The impact of cheap education is yielding fruits and more and more Africans are stepping up and taking their places in the world. Going through the thought and ideas of Africans, you'll discover they have a lot to offer than just greed and barbarism.
Africa is a people of love, intelligence, understanding and greatness. The best is always saved for last and when we start rising they'll be no stopping. Greatness is a part of our culture and it runs in our veinse, we just need to embrace it, and when we do, the sky will be our steppingstone.
we are Africans and greatness is in our blood. God bless Africa
