Question:How do we as african's perceive ourselves?

Do we have another story to tell to the world?

Why then are we not selling the other side of africa the world doesn't know?

We need to control our media to change the world's views on africa?

We should challenge oursleves to rewrite the lost beauties of africa by promoting these good deeds thorugh every information channels instead we ourselves dwell on the negativities,our newspapers would rather sell with bogus headlines about terrorism and other social vices.

Am I wrong,prove me otherwise undecided

My 2cents.
