LESSON 1: BE A BETTER AFRICAN

Being an african is not the easiest task. But you need to because you are and no matter how you look at it, you will always be. You see in being a better african, on the other hand, is a choice that one would make and after that choice is made- what is the first thing you do?
You start to appreciate your surroundings.
Now how do you do that is the most important question. Most people who have lived away from thier countries will conccure with me that you only get to appreciate your home after you move to another country. why is this so? because you start to think everywere else in the world is greener thean what seems to be your dry home. Well just as the saying, the grass is not always greener on the other side. Steps in appreciating your surroundings are not well defined however, the most cardinal thing to do is to learn more about yourself and your country. In knowing yourself, ensure you know the meaning of your name and find out why you have that name. Dig deeper into your linage and visit your rural area.As for learning about your country, consider topics like geography, population, history, people, societies, kingship, ethnicity as well as productivity to mention but a few.
Basically, understand how your country operates in terms of its, social development and love it enough to share your information with other people.

How will this help you be a better African? That's a question you will answer yourself once you start to put this lesson into practice.
