A TRIP TO WEST AFRICA

I recently travelled to Nigeria with my family for Easter celebration. I promise you, the trip was full of fun, fun and more fun. I met lots of people whom I have not seen in many years, some for ten years and some for about fifteen years.

They were very curious and wanted to know more about South Africa. They wanted to know what made me to settled down in South Africa and not in Europe or USA as some of my siblings have done. To cap it all, they wanted to know if there are beautiful ladies in  RSA.

Well, it is true that I am in RSA by choice because I love South Africa to bits. I could have been anywhere  else, but I chose RSA.

Anyway, I did my best to answer many of their questions and also to put their minds at rest on some of the stereotypes they have in their heads about South Africans.  For example, they thought that all South Africans are xenophobic and hostile towards Nigerian, they also thought that HIV/AIDS flies everywhere as it was often reported in the media, and some of them even thought that South African men are rapists and murderers who takes lives without remorse and many more....

I did my best to convince them that most of what they read or hear in the media are not true. In my own opinion, South Africans are loving people who genuinely care for visitors. Above all, it is a beautiful country, and if you don't believe me, you are welcome to come and see for yourself.

I love this country and I have made it  my home - that is what motivates me to write my next blog titled "Why I Love South Africa".
