Wishing for the best on Independence Day. Let's get together to joyfully commemorate this day by paying tribute to and appreciating everyone who contributed to the liberation of Africa. Happy Africa Day.
The 25th of May marks a special day for Africans are we commemorate the founding of the Organisation of Africa Unity back in 1963. The continent over, multitudes of people come together to celebrate our unity and pride in this land we call home.
With no one way to rejoice on this special day, we though it would be great to list some of our favourite quotes by great Africans who've made their presence felt on the continent and beyond. Here are our five great Africans quotes by some phenomenal individuals:
Nelson Mandela - First President of a Democratic South Africa - I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Dr Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - Revered Nigerian author and feminist - Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in.
Wangari Maathai - Renowned Kenyan environmentalist and political activist - There are opportunities even in the most difficult moments.
Fela Kuti - Legendary Nigerian musician, human rights activist and the pioneer of Afrobeats - To be honest and truthful in all endeavours is an experience, not a regret.
