Kenya is really making great strides in the tech sector.
Also energy. There is a lot more opportunity there and growth. I don't wanna miss the rise of Africa and the renaissance to come. Let those sleeping sleep...

I've been in Canada long enough I'm ready to exit especially after this last winter :scusthov:

Breh Nigerians come in different shapes shades and sizes. very diverse nation. The igbos have thier looks so do the Yoruba. Then the fulani have their own, then the hausa have theirs. The Ibibbio has thier own as well. So many tribes.

my bad dawg. blame the media. supposedly all africans look the same.

You ever been to Calabar? That place is serene.:blessed: Im a cross riverian so I am happy with the work my Governor is doing. Plus I know the guy personally so he gives me a little insight into whats happening behind the scenes in Nigeria.

Never been, but i've heard alot about it. I'll be in Lagos again around August, so i'll maybe head out there if i have some free time.

Isn't Nigeria currently in the process of building Lagos into a mega city? How is that going so far? I've been keeping my eye on this.

Went to the continent for the first time in January. Stayed in Abidjan in the Ivory Coast. Beuatiful country. Amazing to see so many beautiful black faces. I noticed a lot of outsiders tho. Heavy on the Lebanese. And I was told that there are a lot of Asian workers. I/WE (black people) need to start investing there more. The money goes further. Wouldnt mind retiring there.

Agreed. Stereotypes makes westerners think that all africans look the same. I'm Kenyan, and we have every phenotype represented within our borders. There's certain tribes that have light skin, certain ethnic groups that have straight hair, a lot of diversity.

Also just jokes on the Kenyan thing. my girlfriend is kenyan and we are expecting a beautiful African daughter

haha my nikka. it's true though. we do speak shytty swahili. i really respect y'all for not b*stardizing the language and keeping it fresh. africans should be more proud of their own culture / heritage.
