The easiest way, of course, is the name, for | >|example Ogunkoye, Ekwekwe or Babangida can only be a Nigerian, a | >|Njoroge, Otieno or Kilonzo must be from Kenya.

No wonder there have been very few coups in this region. | >|They have no guts to go against the establishment. They are also the | >|UN's first choice for Peace Keeping duties worldwide. | >| | >|Forget about the Egyptians and Sudanese who change their continents | >|based on which side of the bread is buttered.

When the World Bank | >|is dishing out aid to the third world, they shuffle themselves, | >|cup-in-hand, jostling for the paltry aid given to poor African | >|countries. | >| | >|If you want to be more specific, the Cameroonians will borrow money to | >|buy Champagne. They can even sell a hole in their pockets to ape the | >|bourgeois. | >| | >|The Ghanaians think they invented politics. No Ghanaian worth his salt | >|will conclude a conversation without mentioning the famous Kwame | >|Nkurumah or quoting a phrase from one of his speeches. Even when | >|bargaining at the Bazaar, a 'Kwame' phrase has a magical effect. The | >|problem is they think that this effect is worldwide! A dukawalla in | >|Bombay was forgiven for thinking Kwame was a unit of! currency in | >|Africa! | >| | >|The Congolese think they have the best music and the best dancers. They | >|have this heavenly feeling that they were brought into this world to | >|Sing and Dance... and please, for your own safety, don't you dare | >|challenge that! A Congolese can be spotted from afar by the gait of his | >|walk.... and it also depends on the mood of the walker: A Ndombolo walk | >|is a sign of happiness (..also means 'I've just had it'); a Baba Gaston | >|walk is a sign of old age. | >| | >|The Nigerians have a THING about clothes and jewelry.
