THE BEAUTY OF AFRICA

Like the sand of the seashores,
Africa as a continent and a mother of all continent.

She was traced in centuries,
As a land of man's origin and existence.

She was affirmed a dark skinned;
Yet, her pigment stood in,

For strength, support and solidarity;
Africa, a home with magnificent creatures

How peaceful is her motherland,
With diverse ethnicity;

Yet, her people unified as one,
Yet, her descendants stand with one voice, one victory. @peterwrites

ECONOMY (crude oil and gas):
Nature has endowed major African states with much blessings; this reveals her beauty on a platter of gold in such a way that continent outside Africa such as Asia, North America and South America amongst others largely benefit from her resources having embarked on THE COMPARATIVE COST ADVANTAGE IDEOLOGY. In recent times, the People's Republic of China had increasingly establish stronger this with these African nations. To add to this, China as a whole is considered Africa's largest trading partner. Nations in Africa with natural resources may include Nigeria (crude oil, petroleum), Congo (Colton), Guinea (bauxite, gold) South Africa (diamond), and Ghana (gold) etc.
In areas of oil exploration, Angola, Egypt, Nigeria, Libya, and other African countries have dominated the oil industry world as they competitively look forward to become the first time producers in the world.
