M.PalaniappanSeptember 12, 2012 With all these great African proverbs why is Africa so united and not progressed perhaps from western viewpoint?Or perhaps am I looking from a materialistic point of view?perhaps it has reached its peak from a spiritual happiness index?Reply

Henry DankwaFebruary 23, 2014 When people hear Africa they think of one big country, despite all of its problems countries in Africa are progressing but you never see or hear of that on the news, all you see or hear about is the wars,famine and corruption.Most of these african countries barely gained independence in the 50s,60s and 70s but oh men they doing so well and I am proud of them and and proud to be African.I know that Africa will progress but it wont happen over time,we need all those children that went to the Europes and Americas to further their to come back and rebuild africa.Africans are rich in happiness despite our struggles, we are always laughing and smiling,shaking hands and never letting go, shouting on top of our voices when excited, but only a few outsiders understand.Reply
