Irrespective of the sorry state that the African continent is currently in, its storied past and accomplishments deserves to be publicized. Unfortunately, that probably wont be the case, unless we Africans step upto the plate and tell our version of the story. As a saying goes, " Until the lions produce their own historian, the story of the hunt will only glorify the hunter" is more apt in this case. Stories of starving kids, poverty, corruption, famine and all ills that has reduced us to the laughing stock of the world are regular highlights in the western media. While there is this element of truth that bad news is good news for the journalists, by reading some of this articles with no berth whatsoever highlighting the storied past of Africa, many, without prior knowledge of Africa would come to the conclusion that Africa is a perenial loser in the affairs of the world.

So, on campus, I came across an African publication about some of the notable accomplishments of Africa. I glanced at it cursorily because I had to get back to work. When I got home, I decided to research them on google and came across this impressive feats of Africans.
