Every now and then, I hear people say things like: “…there is issues is India, Malaysia, Brazil, Africa, …”, “…Like it happens in Africa…”, etc. ‘Africa’ is almost always in mainstream media categorized as a Country its a continent containing several countries. Even we Africans are country-zing the continent. Yesterday a friend was introducing herself [...] Related posts:

Language, n.: a body of words and the systems for their use common to a people who are of the same community or nation, the same geographical area, or the same cultural tradition. Apart from this definition, I think language as culture, an identity. And, it’s interesting how many are forgetting their culture (language) as [...] Related posts:
