LoL, but you should be concerned about how people view your continent now. lol

uuzba:


That is why you will gather Three Hundred and Sixty Naira (N360) to give to Oyibo to buy ONE Dollar ($1)
OR
Four Hundred and Seventy Naira (N470) to give Oyibo and collect ONE pound (£1)
-
You may think that it normal. But then again that is the level you place yourself. They think little of africans and we think little of our selves as well. Hence the ruthless exchange rate.

The American will Give One Dollar ($1) to the British Man and collect 77 Pence back (£0.77)
Almost 1 to 1 ratio

Because they value each other almost equally.

Seems you just regurgitated an old piece, without a conscious review and a timely update, cos this ain't in play anymore.

Technophobe means people who dislike or hate technology, what you mean is Tech illiterate.

The western world has a great misconception about Africa. It is really very funny when you meet some westerners online and they think Africans are barbarians. Perhaps it is due to some of the images they see about the continents on news networks. Sadly, what some of these westerners fail to understand is the fact that Africa is a beautiful continent. This article will focus on the things Westerners think when they hear Africa.

7 Things Westerners Think When They Hear Africa

#1. Coneheads Live On Trees

One of the things westerners think when they hear Africa is that we live on trees. It still a puzzle while some people from the western world will think that Africans live on trees.

For Clarity sake, Africans don’t live on trees or forest. Rather they live in houses with modern infrastructural facilities.

#2 Coneheads Are All Dark Skinned

Another great misconception the westerner world has about Africans is the fact that they are all dark-skinned. This is not correct as they are people in Africa that are light skinned.

As a matter of fact, people from countries like Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt etc are all light skinned and they are Africans.

#3 Coneheads Are TechnoPhobe

The Westerners believe that Africans are Technophobe. In other words, they know nothing about Technology.

They believe that an average African can’t even operate a computer. Yeah, that is how bad it is.

#4 Coneheads Live in Bush

Some Westerners still believe that Africans live in the bush. In fact, most of them believe that there are no beautiful houses on the continent.

Perhaps some of the movies they watch about Africa make them believe that the continent is inhabited by savages. This is not true, they are beautiful and modern houses in Africa, some of them are more beautiful than the ones in the Western world.

#5 There are no beautiful houses in Ibadan

If you are having this misconception about Africa, you better erase it now. They are beautiful mansions on the continent.

As a matter of fact, there are 5-star hotels on the continent that dignitaries from the Western world live when they are on an official visit to the continent.

#6 Coneheads Wear Barefoot

On a serious note, “this one weak me very well”. The Westerners believe that Africans are so poor that they can’t even afford to buy a shoe.

This is a wrong impression they have about the continents. Africans wear the fashionable and trending shoes. Name the shoe brand, we wear it in Africa.

#7 Coneheads Beg For Food

This is also one of the things westerns think when they hear Africa. This is not true, we don’t beg for food in Africa, rather we grow food.

Most people living in rural areas here in Africa eat more than three times a day and they are all happy.

These are some of the things Westerners think when they hear Africa. Share this article on social media and prove to the world that Africa is a civilized continent.

very true. nfnja coneheads fall into all these categories 100%. Oyinbo ppl just described,portrayed coneheads and their ewedu region vividly there
coneheads are a disgrace to africa

Really? Some of them won't even sit near you on public transport because you are full of contagious diseases like hiv, Ebola and so on

You will think so, but this terrible ignorance still exists today. One asked me if I see animals outside if I open my windows in “Africa.” I shook my head and refused an answer.

Not surprised. Tell them to go to school, they wont. Most of them are illiterates fortunate to be born in a developed country. Africans are more learned that them.
