AFRICAN ETIQUETTE

Welcome to the motherland.



Many, many moons ago in the Land of The Origin, God the Creator made People, male and female. He put them in the Garden of His Presence and they had everything they wanted. They had a wonderful Mother and she was Africa.

She was a good mother and taught her children all the skills and knowledge they needed to survive and be great. She began at the Beginning  and taught them Without End.

Of all the things that she taught her children the most important was manners for how else would it be known that she had taught them anything at all if they did not have good manners?


“My son and my daughter,” she said “your Father has been given everything you want even a Mother to teach you. Listen to my advice and you will know how to always enjoy and conserve your good fortune.”

“Two is better than one, how lucky you are to have each other.” She continued looking fondly from one to the other. “Remember what I show you, follow my example and show your own children The Way also.”

“Everything God created has been put in your power except for People. You can control everything except People and the Snake.  But good manners will help you to live happily with your neighbors.”

And so it did
