How to tell one African from another:
It comes, as something of a surprise to many Africans to discover that all Africans look the same to non-Africans.
How do you tell a Nigerian from a Kenyan, for example; and I am not talking about passports or clothing? Well the easiest way, of course,is the name:
For example Ogunkoye can only be a Nigerian and Njoroge from Kenya.
And so where do the Dunns come from? They are certainly from Liberia or Sierra Leone.
Surely, everybody knows that the loud and cocky ones are the West Africans
The brooding and sly ones are the North and South Africans respectively
The East Africans always say yes, even when they disagree with you violently.(Please do not mistake this as cowardice-but rather-calculating and diplomatic)
To be more specific, the Cameroonians will borrow money from you to buy Champagne; whilst the Ghanaians think they invented politics.
The Congolese think they have the best music and the best dancers
The Nigerians have a thing about clothes, They always look good!! and the Ethiopians believe they have the most beautiful women on God's earth.
Moroccans actually think they're French, and so do the Burkinabes.
Algerians just hate the French and Ethiopians don't think their Africans and don't like anybody!!
Sierra Leoneans simply smile profusely, and Liberians can't get over America.
All East and South African countries have the same national anthem,but the South Africans sing it the best.
The South Africans have no hair; the Zambians, Ethiopeans, and Kenyans have prominent foreheads;
The West Africans have short memories and never learn from their mistakes The concept of order and discipline must have been invented in East Africa; the words don't exist in West Africa, especially in Nigeria.
When a cabinet minister is "caught with his hands in the till," he commits suicide in Southern Africa; in West Africa he's promoted after the next coup d'etat or he'll run for presidency in the next elections and win!!
In athletics, the divisions are quite simple: from 800m to the marathon the East Africans hold sway; the West Africans are only good at the sprints; and South Africans can only sing.
When it comes to football (soccer), the North and West Africans dominate the lesser-skilled East and South Africans.
Please read this and forward to all Africans you know

Femster, It's suppossed to be the non-Africans who can not tell Africans apart. Please read this and forward to all Africans you know Why would you forward this to Africans? Africans can't tell the difference? Shouldn't it be the non-Africans, who should be learning this information?

Until recently I thought Mexicans, Chinese, and even Indians were all white people. Not to mention any attempt to differentiate English, French, German or Russian. After all, they're all light skin with silky hairs.

if you tell yourself the truth about why you are unable to go and meet your own people, you may start to understand a few things.
