What does a round of ‘African nations in high school’ say about our identity crisis?
Something delightful happened in the African Twitter sphere this past week. A bitingly funny conversation emerged courtesy of a question posed by a lady blogger from Botswana who goes by the handle of Siyanda Panda on that most abbreviated of social media platforms.
She kicked off a continental discussion simply by asking people to write in what characteristics an African nation might have if it were a teenager in high school, or as former captives of the British Empire might call it, secondary school. Beautiful sarcasm ensued.
