Ugochukwu: Wow I’m surprised too. Pls check if they have hospital,school and also cinema, as you people are mad 🤦🏿♂️
Nungua Burnaboy: The ignorance of some black Americans is astonishing.. they need to familiarize themselves with their roots when they are still young and not get surprised by basic things in Africa when they turn up here in their 60s
Jessica Tapia: The media portrays Africa a certain way and a lot of people don’t take the time to fact check or research. Most people will accept the information that is provided to them as fact. So, I’m not surprised that she thought this.
Homeland or Death: Come on stop pushing an agenda she’s just excited I don’t see if she’s insulting in any way. Come on!
