My name is Ogochukwu Chinelo Daniella Okpala, I am a young lady from Anambra state in Nigeria… I’m Igbo. I’m Nigerian!!!
It has come to my notice that people (white, black, Hispanic… etc) use the term Africa/African a lot. I also noticed that people don’t use Europe/European, North America/North Americans… etc a lot. It has also come to my notice that people make sentences like this: ” … I wanna thank all my American, Jamaican, Japanese, German, and African…” can you pick the odd one out in that statement???
I can not stress this enough AFRICA IS NOT A COUNTRY!
Africa is a land mass, you can’t define someone based on land mass alone. We need to stop categorizing people as Africa or using the term Africa in context of a country/nation.
Africa is made up of beautiful, diverse people with different cultures and traditions. The only thing most people that happen to be located in that beautiful land mass have in common is race.
Nigeria alone has over 200 languages, one state can have like ten different tribes. And this is just one country.
