Few hours ago, I was thinking of so many things and one of the things that came to mind was, **What is the big deal about Africa?**
I really didn't know where this question came from. But like the proud African that I am, I immediately answered myself and said to myself, "Africa is the big deal". Another question that came to mind was, why should you even be proud of being an African? What has African done? What do they have to show? I started giving myself so many answers and then I said there got to be more.
The curious me decided to ask questions, do some research and I got schooled.
HOW AFRICA BLESSED THE WORLD
1. PENIS TRANSPLANT
You read that right!!!
South Africa Surgeons were the first to carry out the first transplant of the Penis. This occured in March 2015. It was a 9 hour surgery performed in a 21 year old and in June 2015,the partner of the recipient was announced pregnant.
2. COFFEE
Do you know that the coffee plant was first discovered in Ethiopia. It was discovered in the 11th century. From Ethiopia it spread to Yemen, Istanbul, Venice, Paris, America, and now Coffee has spread to many countries and continents.

3. Modern Art
Africa played a huge role in inspiring celebrated artists such as Picasso, Kirchner or Matisse.
In the early 1900s, the met Museum in New York described the aesthetics of traditional African sculpture as “a powerful influence among European artists who formed an avant-garde in the development of modern art”.
4. JOLLOF RICE
This special dish has its origin from West Africa. The best Jollof Rice can be traced to Nigeria and Ghana. I kid you not!
The massive adoption of Jollof Rice all over the world is overwhelming.

Muchas gracias a ti @wafrica,por compartir motivar a pensar, que tiene nuestro país también... Gracias, gracias, gracias.
hey @wafrica, it's always nice to see how much effort steemit - users put into they articles; thank you! To me Africa is a huge source of true culture and traditions. A part of the beauty, nature gave to this huge continent, every time I fly back to South Africa ( I'm from Rome but partly South African) I can feel this sort of warm atmosphere the people surrounding you convey. It's really not difficult to feel at home. But what do you think about the economy of the African countries? Do you think that one of them will be able to achieve a strong general wealth ? And if yes, which one? Cheers
