Obviously you have already been plagued with 'brainwashing' by your so called pastors who have made themselves gods before members like yourself. Read your Bible and know the truth so you can be set free

Cont...

6. In Africa, you can contract several
diseases...

https://www.buzzle.com/images/conceptual/infections-in-africa.jpg

Traveling to any African nation makes
several people fill with dread. Africa,
like any other continent, has problems that have stemmed from its environment, its people, and its culture.
Certain parts of Africa can do with a lot
of improvement when it comes to public
health services. Having said that, one
can also find state-of-the-art medical
care in several pockets, spread across
the continent. Generalizing Africa to be
a disease-ridden continent is simply
unjustified.

7... Or become someone's meal
https://www.buzzle.com/images/conceptual/death-in-africa.jpg

It is highly unlikely that you'll be stranded in the Sahara for weeks on end, or that you'll be mauled to death by a herd of wild buffaloes. Unless you're one of those over enthusiastic tourists who try to get too close to a lion to capture Nat Geo-like images,
your chances of being gobbled up by a
wild cat are virtually none. Since ages,
Africans have peacefully coexisted with
animals in a harmonious setting, so it
goes without saying that your safety is vouched for.

8. All Africans are dark skinned...
https://www.buzzle.com/images/conceptual/racial-diversity-in-africa.jpg
Ever heard of South Africa being referred to as the 'Rainbow Nation'?
Well, several countries in Africa have been home to European settlements.
The Dutch came to South Africa, the
French came to Côte d'Ivoire, the
Portuguese came to Namibia, and the
list goes on. Besides the Europeans,
African nations also have several people
of Chinese, Indian, and Malaysian origin.
If you're looking for diversity, this is
where you find it.

9. ... Who speak African
https://www.buzzle.com/images/conceptual/african-languages.jpg

African is not a language full of click-
clicks and kluck-klucks. Hell, African
isn't even a language!
And if you're
confusing it with Afrikaans, then open
your eyes to this fact. Afrikaans is one
among the eleven official languages
spoken in South Africa. Across the continent, however, you'll hear around 2,000 different languages and dialects.
Among these are the Afro-Asiatic, the
Nilo-Saharan, the Niger-Congo, the Yoruba,Hausa and Igbo speakers of Nigeria in West Africa, and the
Khoisan language families, besides
French, German, and English being
spoken in several former colonies.

10... And survive on charities
https://www.buzzle.com/images/conceptual/unicef-in-africa.jpg

On paper, Africa seems to have it all- abundant natural resources, diamond mines, oil reserves, tourist attractions,
and cultural history. But a closer inspection reveals the appalling state of affairs brought upon by greedy government officials, hand in glove with vested interests from non-African countries. Africa is not the pet project
of UNICEF, or even Angelina Jolie, for
that matter. It is a continent with a few
of its own citizens trying to devour it from within.

Of course, misconceptions about Africa
do not end here,
as long as people like
Britney Spears keep dishing out gems of
ignorance - like the one mentioned at the
beginning.
But as far as you are concerned, yes you, please ensure that you educate yourself about the world in general, before shooting from the hip!
Travel › Top 10 Misconceptions About Africa by Youngsage(op):
No, it isn't full of dangerous, wild animals on the loose. It also isn't just a vast expanse of arid land. Africa – our planet's second largest continent, has been battling misconceptions like these since ages.

https://www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/598054-46232-53.jpg

"I've never really wanted to go to Japan. Simply because I don’t like eating fish. And I know that's very popular out there in
Africa." – Britney Spears

Britney, Britney, Britney, dear Britney!
It is impossible to determine where this thought came from. But considering the
person it came from, it hardly comes as a surprise, since many inhabitants of the
'developed' corners of our world seem
blissfully clueless about a continent that
is second largest in size and population.


Yes, Africa - Home to a billion people. Supposedly the oldest inhabited territory in the world, which also saw the origin of the human species.
Despite all of this, there are several among us who remain ignorant about this vast continent that is brimming with diversity in every aspect. This is just a small attempt to diss the most outrageous misconceptions about Africa.

10 Biggest Myths About Africa

1. Africa Is A Country...
https://www.buzzle.com/images/maps/africa-map.jpg
Africa is as much a continent as Asia or
Europe. It is a vast continent , second in
size only to Asia. Africa comprises 55 recognized states(countries), with other territories being de facto independent states with
limited recognition. The multicolored
regions visible within the borders of the map are separate countries.

2... Which Is Full Of Villages
https://www.buzzle.com/images/conceptual/cities-in-africa.jpg

Being an expansive continent with diverse climatic conditions, Africa has dense settlements in some areas, and sparse in others. However, to say that Africans only reside in villages would be a gross lapse of judgment. Pictured above are Cairo, Johannesburg, and Nairobi, all of which are sprawling, busy cities, home to millions of people. They have brick-and-mortar buildings, public transport, and every other conceivable modern amenity. And of course, all of these and more are found in Africa.
U-n-d-e-r-s-t- a-n-d?

3. Africa is a Huge Desert/Rainforest
https://www.buzzle.com/images/conceptual/natural-diversity-in-africa.jpg
Another sorry misconception people hold about Africa is about its geography.
Africa is not just the Sahara desert or the rainforests. It certainly isn't searing hot everywhere, neither does it perpetually rain all year round.
Geographically speaking, the African continent has the unique distinction of stretching from the northern temperate
zone to the southern, with the Equator
running through it. The geographic diversity of Africa is simply breathtaking. As an example, we've got you the Victoria Falls, the Blyde River Canyon, Mt. Kilimanjaro, and a view of the Indian Ocean as seen from Cape Town.

4... Where animals roam the streets...
https://www.buzzle.com/images/conceptual/african-game-reserve.jpg

No they don't! A significant part of Africa's wildlife lies safely ensconced in its many game reserves. Now, these parks and reserves could be located a few minutes outside the cities, but this does not mean that citizens have regular encounters with lions and giraffes in their backyard. Yes,
occasional incidents of animals wandering into the city limits are reported – but they are far and few in between. Wild animals are not too pro- urbanization, you see.

5... Which Is Why People carry spears
and shields Everywhere

https://www.buzzle.com/images/conceptual/masai-warrior.jpg

As ridiculous as it sounds, this misconception seems to have stemmed
from a wide-eyed tourist's overactive
imagination. To think that the Maasai people are a precise representation of all Africans is mirthful, to say the least.
Various ethnic groups inhabit Africa, and
keeping in terms with their lifestyle,
they may carry weapons as a safeguard.
But to extend this assumption to all Africans is definitely a long shot.

The Link Between Laughter & Mental health: Mental Health Benefits Of Laughter

• Adds joy and zest to life
The good feeling that you get when you laugh remains with you even after the laughter subsides. Humor helps you keep
a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments, and loss.

• Eases anxiety and fear
Laughter dissolves distressing emotions.
You can’t feel anxious, angry, or sad when you’re laughing.

• Relieves stress
Laughter helps you relax and recharge. It reduces stress and increases energy, enabling you to stay focused and accomplish more.

• Improves mood & Enhances resilience
Humor shifts perspective, allowing you
to see situations in a more realistic, less threatening light. A humorous perspective creates psychological distance, which can help you avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Ways to help yourself see the lighter side of life:

• Smile.
Smiling is the beginning of laughter. Like
laughter, it’s contagious. When you look at
someone or see something even mildly
pleasing, or not, practice smiling!

• Laugh at yourself.
Share your embarrassing moments. The best way to take yourself less seriously
is to talk about times when you took yourself
too seriously.

• Attempt to laugh at situations rather than bemoan them.
Look for the humor in a bad situation, and uncover the irony and absurdity of life.
This will help improve your mood and the mood of those around you.

• Surround yourself with reminders to lighten up.
Keep a toy on your desk or in your car. Put up a funny poster in your office.
Choose a computer screensaver that makes
you laugh. Frame photos of you and your family or friends having fun.

•Keep things in perspective.
Many things in life are beyond your
control—particularly the behavior of other people. While you might think
taking the weight of the world on your shoulders is admirable, in the long run
it’s unrealistic, unproductive, unhealthy,
and even egotistical.

• Deal with your stress.
Stress is a major impediment to humor and
laughter. Pay attention to children and emulate them. They are the experts on playing, taking
life lightly, and laughing!

As laughter, humor, and play become an integrated part of your life, your creativity will
flourish and new discoveries for playing with friends, coworkers, acquaintances, and loved ones will occur to you daily.
Humor takes you to a higher place where you can view the world from a more relaxed, positive, creative, joyful, and balanced perspective.

Social Health Benefits of Laughter

•Strengthens Relationships

•Attracts others to us

•Enhances teamwork

•Helps defuse conflict

•Promotes group bonding

- Humor and playful communication strengthen our relationships by triggering
positive feelings and fostering emotional connection. When we laugh with one another, a positive bond is created. This bond acts as a strong buffer
against stress, disagreements, and disappointment.

"Laughing with others is more powerful than
laughing alone"


Creating opportunities to Laugh:

•Watch a funny movie or TV show,
•Go to a comedy club
•Read funny pages/books
•Seek out funny people
•Share a good joke or a funny story
•Host game night with friends
•Play with a pet
•Go to a "laughter yoga" class
•Goof around with children
•Do something silly
•Make time for fun activities (e.g.
bowling, miniature golfing, karaoke)

"Shared laughter is one of the most effective tools for keeping relationships fresh and exciting."

https://www.hovestressbusters.co.uk/images/laughter5.jpg

All emotional sharing builds strong and lasting relationship bonds, but sharing laughter and play also adds joy, vitality, and
resilience. And humor is a
powerful and effective way to heal resentments, disagreements, and hurts.
Laughter unites people during
difficult times.
Incorporating more humor and play into your daily interactions can improve the quality of your love relationships—as well as
your connections with co-
workers, family members, and
friends.


Using humor and laughter in relationships allows you to:

• Be more spontaneous.
Humor gets you out of your head and away from your troubles.

•Let go of defensiveness.
Laughter helps you forget judgments, criticisms, and doubts.

•Release inhibitions.
Your fear of holding back and holding on are set aside.

•Express your true feelings.
Deeply felt emotions are allowed to rise to the surface.

Humor is infectious! The sound of
roaring laughter is far more contagious
than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze.
When laughter is shared, it binds people together, increases happiness and intimacy; it also triggers healthy physical changes in the body, strengthens your immune system,
boosts your energy, diminishes pain, and
protects you from the damaging effects
of stress.
Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use! cheesy

“Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain
that your daily mood and emotional state support good health.”
˜Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D.

Nothing works faster to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. It lightens burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.
With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting
problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional
health.

Physical Health Benefits of Laughter
https://www.scientificamerican.com/sciam/cache/file/1B96FDD0-6217-4C40-AE4AE52E3192C6D9_article.jpg?E7EB7

• Laughter relaxes the whole body.
A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.

• Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and
infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving
your resistance to disease.

• Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel- good chemicals.
Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily
relieve pain.

• Laughter protects the heart.
Laughter improves the function of blood
vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
