Why still love staying in Africa

The Taxi door and Pan-africanism

Today i have dedicated this blog to Why i love to be an African. I will look at this example.
I was travelling back home in a taxi on Sunday and the Taxi tout was going about with his brisk business of Pulling and Pushing his door. You know first of all i admire these guys. they are small in size and always seem to squeeze just beside the front of the taxi.
This time the boy was having some difficulty opening the door and by the time it was half way the journey, the door could only shut half way. i was laughing(U know i love the back sit-where i can view proceedings)

I reached destination and disembarked. Hardly had the Taxi moved 5 metres, than the door came down.my God, the crash was loud. Now me i sat and Laughed.
U know that is because most africans like using things but not servicing them at old- Milking a cow with out feeding it. I should be forgiven for laughing but it was hilarious. the conductor, the door, the driver, the passengers...


A case for Pan-Africanism
On a sad note
Reading through the news papers i was almost brought to tears but at the end the speech i realised nothing could have changed who we are and that is just that. the Black man will survive.
out on a sad note. Please read the Hyperlink and give me some comments.
