Na wa oo. Can we keep it one question at a time?

Dude, you posted a whole book here. Besides, I thought the questions were supposed to be based on general topics in math, science, world history, English, not literature. . .many people have not read that book. Chinua Achebe's most popular book is 'Things fall apart' in my opinion. I know I read it in school here in the US.

My question:

Who among the following was the first black president of South Africa after the abolishment of apartheid?

A. Thabo Mbeki

B. Barack Obama

C. Nelson Mandela

D. Jacob Zuma

my dear The dumbest people I know are those who know it all.
Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected.
Change alone is unchanging.
The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything comes in season.

1 What is the weight of an African elephant?

Nigga, this question of yours has a wide range of answers because an arbitrary weight can be chosen.

@ OW11
I don't know very much, but what I do know, I know better than you and I don't want to argue about it,  A mind is not a bed to be made and re-made.
When a man's knowledge is not in order, the more of it he has the greater will be his confusion.
My dear Half of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at.
your just confused and dumb.

You have not proven my answers are wrong! You only stated yours as correct which I have agreed to but my grouse is that your questions do not have absolute answers like your pope question. This you have failed to address and you go on and ask more imprecise questions that has been called to your attention by another fellow but in your obstinate stance, have refused to learn. Your lack of wit is that which is glaring here!!! I will leave you to post more of your rubbish
