This is a towering tribute to the great African continent.

I am Africa
I am the first of our kind
I am history
I am tales a million years old
I am over one billion people
With over fifty countries.
I am great, a mystery
Bathed by the great waters of the river Nile
Baked by the heat of the glorious Sahara.
I am over one thousand languages and culture
I am the pride of the ancient
The pride of my ancestors.
I am an ocean of wisdom
A fountain of knowledge
I am a sage.
I am greatness. I am a king.
I've been robbed
Made a slave physically
Made a slave mentally
I never broke, I healed.
I am black, melanin.
I am the awakening, the third eye.
I am the first, the original.
I am life itself, beside me is none.
I am the greatest.
I am Africa!
I am the pride of the ancient .
The pride of my ancestors. I am an ocean of wisdom.A fountain of knowledge.I am a sage. - -beautiful Very very proud of that African heritage.

When Africa weeps for her children
My cheeks are stained with tears
When Africa honours her elders
My head is bowed in respect
When Africa mourns for her victims
My hands are joined in prayer
When Africa celebrates her triumphs
My feet are alive with dancing

I am an African
For her blue skies take my breath away
And my hope for the future is bright
I am an African
For her people greet me as family
And teach me the meaning of community
I am an African
For her wildness quenches my spirit
And brings me closer to the source of life

When the music of Africa beats in the wind
My blood pulses to its rhythm
And I become the essence of sound
When the colours of Africa dazzle in the sun
My senses drink in its rainbow
And I become the palette of nature
When the stories of Africa echo round the fire
My feet walk in its pathways
And I become the footprints of history

I am an African
Because she is the cradle of our birth
And nurtures an ancient wisdom
I am an African
Because she lives in the world’s shadow
And bursts with a radiant luminosity
I am an African
Because she is the land of tomorrow
And I recognise her gifts as sacred.

The Ashantis are undoubtedly the largest ethnicity in Ghana, with a population estimated at 12 million people, and they can be found in Ghana 🇬🇭 , Togo 🇹🇬 and Ivory Coast 🇨🇮

The Ashanti people, who are a subgroup of the Akan, speak the Twi language, a language that is now ranked as one of the most spoken in West Africa. Their capital was Kumasi, one of the largest cities in Ghana.

Some of the majority of Ashanti people are now Christians, Some are traditional worshippers, while a growing population of Muslims can also be found.

According to the history of these great people, the Ashanti kingdom was found in the 1600s, in the midst of a land that was full of gold and that served as a major trade between them and other Kingdoms even with Europeans.

Many Ashantis exist in Caribbean countries, especially in Jamaica 🇯🇲 , where there is a clear Ashanti influence in the Jamaican name, dress, and physical appearance.

The Ashanti, like many tribes, have their own delicious foods such as Fufu, Mpoto Mpoto, and others that have already been hijacked by other tribes who find them more delicious.

Many Ashantis fought tirelessly for the quick independence of Ghana, and they successfully made it the second west African country to get independence, lagging only behind Liberia 🇱🇷

Senegalese star Sadio Mane, player of the Saudi Al-Nasr team, opened the Bambali Stadium, which he built at his own expense for the people of his village in Senegal.

The opening ceremony witnessed the presence of many responsible figures in the State of Senegal, who were keen to be present to provide support and congratulations to the Lion of Teranga after his wonderful initiative towards the people of his village, his birthplace.

It is noteworthy that in 2022, Sadio Mane played a match on this stadium, which was filled with mud, before he decided to modify it and build it on a large level at his own expense.

Sadio Mane is a great example of the development and advancement of his society in various fields. He did not go far to live in an upscale city and forget.
His past and the birthplace of his childhood and youth. Rather, he returned to build his village and provide it with kindness without being proud of it.

Despite the fact that he built this stadium at his own expense, he did not even post a tweet on his page for this.
