What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?
A place called home.
Travelling to different lands through books may not be the same as physically being present in those places . I read about a part of west Africa with green lands and diverse cultures, rich in oil and exports.
I read about the religion of most of their people and its similarities to some foreign traditional religion .
The stories I read beguiled me , I was entranced by the writer’s description of these people.
Does there exist a place where oil flow in the land so abundantly and the people beautiful in their diversities??
I read more about these people but at a point I was dismayed. Though these people had all these richness it seemed that only foreigners appreciated it and utilized their resources.
But like a people woken from slumber, they worked and retook what was theirs.
Whether they utilized it well or not, I read no further.
I loved their vigor and creativity, an attribute that have remained and been shown in different historics.
Do you know of where the writer speaks? what’s your cultural heritage that makes you proud?
