Beautiful AFRICA.

Do you know that no matter where you find the dark skin if you trace it back you will find that it has its root in Africa? Do you know we are the only race in this whole wide world created with this unique skin color? Do you know that our skin color is the only one that can hardly be 'chemically' created? Even those who chemically alter theirs to other colors eventually come back to the original. That is how powerful the African color is. All others are common, the African skin is the only unique and distinct type in the whole universe. This alone should make us proud and confident.

Interestingly the name Africa according to some historians is a gotten from the word 'Afru-ika' meaning the 'birthplace' or Motherland.

We were singled out to be unique and so is our collective destiny. Inspite of all that has happened to us and has been associated with us, our uniqueness and greatness will sprout again.
Let's do what we can to bring back the glory of the continent. Time to shun mediocrity and irresponsibility is now. We must own our mistakes, learn from them and rise.
Africa is great and beautiful and so are it's people.
Let's celebrate us.
God bless the Mother continent.

Succumbing to this pressure is one of the greatest source of stress and unhappiness in life.

If they get married , get the job, contract, children, admission, houses or whatever it is before you then what? Does it stop your heart from beating or your lungs from taking in air? Allow people to move at their speed, if they are ready to overtake you let them and move at your own pace.
