Wafrica Sunday Post-Of-The-Week Winners for week #2

Did you know that the word Guinea (Guinée in french) comes from the berber term "akal-n-iguinaouen" which means "country of the black men". This is why in the past, Africa was called "Guinea".

Post-Of-The-Week #1: 5SBD

Sharpen Your Axe by @nexrules.

Comment by @lordjames: At a time when we have so much options and choices to make at any given moment, getting the right tools to boost our productivity becomes a necessity. @Nexrules used a fictional story of a woodcutter (Ubuntu) to share some thoughts on increasing human productivity by sharpening the skills we have. It is a great read and you will get to know the meaning of an 'AXE' as it relates to human productivity, so I will ask you to take a look by clicking the link here.

Post-Of-The-Week #2: 3SBD

@Collinz took the prize for this with his post titled Oh! Africa.

@collinz argued on many issues which still cripple the African Nation from utilizing her resources in full. He mentioned the roles abuse of power by leaders and ignorance by the citizens plays in the current problem. He proposed education and unity as necessary in building the continent to greater heights and ended the post with a call to everyone to play their part in ensuring the development of the continent. I would love to see him talk about disruption through technology like blockchain and how this will fasten development in Africa.

Post-Of-The-Week #3

The third prize winner for this week is a story titled A Day In The Life Of An African Boy by @awesome-p

@awesome-p gives us an insight into the everyday life of a typical Yoruba community. Personally, I have never lived in the Yorubaland but through this post have learned a few things about the people of Western Nigeria. This includes items like gangan, sekere, adun and other terms like Olontoro, Suku and Iya Ibeyi. We hope to hear more stories from other members of the community about their cultures and practices.
