Precious natural resources of Africa

Africa has a large quantity of natural resources including oil, diamonds, gold, iron, cobalt, uranium, copper, bauxite, silver, petroleum and cocoa beans, but also woods and tropical fruits.
However, natural resources have never made a country rich. What really makes a country powerful and respected, are its men and women, the human resources. Africans might not have possession in some part of Africa, yet they are happy, beautiful and humble. Being happy it’s a great feeling that I think is good for you, admirable and impressive. 

Will finish the post today with a great quote from Socrates, who is aimed at greedy nations: “He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”





Be happy, do the best you can, be good and kind. x

African Headwraps

Originally the head-wrap, or turban, was worn by both enslaved men and women. In time, however, it became almost exclusively a female accessory. However, it is believed that African cultures used head wraps before the days of slavery so that men could show off their wealth and the level of their social status and so that women could prove that they were prosperous and spiritual.


In this age, the whole world wears headwraps; they are a great fashion statement & fashionable trend.
I love African head wraps, I truly think they are very beautiful and the vibrant colours make me smile; the colourful wraps also kept a person eyes to the face of a woman J

Be happy, do the best you can, be good and kind. x
