Before i came to this beautiful continent, my mental picture of it was disease and hunger
This is how it was portrayed to me by the UK media. So i went to Kenya, summer 07 and to my surprise it was quite different from what i imagined. I literally had everything i did in the Uk. There is quality education, housing, and healthcare in the city's. Of course there is hunger, disease and no electricity but that's mostly in the villages.Needless to say i fell in love with this country and consider myself an African.

My question is why do western societies always paint the ugliest picture of Africa?

I went to South Africa during a study abroad and it was BEAUTIFUL

Thats just how it is, they believe the people of color from that continent are inferior, its been like that for a long time.

The Mother Land you shouldn't let tv or media make up your thoughts or views

Where are the best places to go

Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can’t help but cry. I mean I’d love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff.

Where?
If cape town

I know, have heard of this so many times.

Do u think they mess with Africa because they'd rather see it be weak than live up to all its potential?

It's a continent.

Can we not do this today?

If i start i wouldn't be able to finish

I'm glad your eyes were opened, although you still can't quite speak on all of Africa after visiting just one country. Rather, you can speak on Kenya. Prejudice and also plain ignorance. Many people are unaware.

a country that cant take care of itself

I love Nigerian music.

Nigerian scammers.

Most of my extended family lives in Nigeria and I visited there a few years ago. It's not so bad, living wise. But their government is corrupt as ****.

Africa is a beautiful continent. I would love to visit Egypt, Botswana and South Africa.

I've always wanted to go to Africa. One day I will get the chance.
