Do you know about Africa?

When you think or hear a word Africa,what comes to your mind?

People may think that Africans are poor and uneducated or completely naive.Like me before,I wasn't expose to high-tech inventions in the city or outside my country.I didn't even know that there is an existing modern technologies.Not until I grew up and managed to go out of my country.We may be poor but not in our natural resources.

In Cameroon where I was born and grew up,we lived our day to day lives by hard work.We never been hungry because people were hardworking,planting crops and rice,all the basic neccesities were at hand.We are living in peace and unity.If not because of the awareness that there is a modern world outside my town then I wouldn't dream of going out and leave my native and beloved land.Today,most of the charities and fund raising were aimed for the people of Africa.My wife once said that,AIDS originated in Africa.We argued.I didn't know that.I was asking for a proof and sources to where she got the information.She might be kidding me but deep inside it hurts.I am an African and once I hear something not good about it,I am disappointed so do you?

There are certain parts of African continent that is really in dire need.Who knows of Cameroon?Only those football fans.I am proud to be an African,we're unique.It's only the color that differs us from others.
