Africa Is A Continent Not A Country

By Sylvester I. Okoro

Is Africa a continent or country? This book helps to answer this seemly question. Africa Is A Continent, Not A Country book is designed to get readers thinking about their knowledge of Africa. It is a quick read. You can finish the book in less time. Africa is the 2nd largest continent besides Asia. Many readers would agree with me that they know little about Africa except what the "elite" western media principally focus on developmental challenges and crisis in some African countries. Not only that, many of these western media including some politicians collectively use Africa as if it is just one country. Consequently, this book is aimed at letting its readers know that Africa is a 54 countries continent. Each country has it's successes and challenges like any other country. After reading this book, you will be able to know: - Names of 54 different African countries and when they became politically independent. - Names of some notable pre and post-independence African Leaders. - Map of Africa with each country. - Some causes of arm conflict in Africa. - Africa hosted World soccer (football) Championship in South Africa in 2010. - That the world's largest desert is Africa's Sahara. - Africa is the second largest continent, next to Asia. - Africa's longest river Nile is the world's longest river.
