#AfricanLivesMatter Become a student of Africa. Not the disease, famine, conflicts, dictatorships , poverty &impunity. Become a student of Africa's greatness, wealth,beauty,cultures,wisdom, inner strength, peoples & civilisations. To counter weaknesses, always learn strengths

#AfricanLivesMatter It is possible to reduce Africa's identity to it's worst tragedies or most dramatic failures. Imagine judging America based on 1929 Great Depression,2008 Financial Crisis or Japan based on Hiroshima or Germany based on Nazi Genocidal acts. Africa is much more
