WHY IS IT THAT WHEN WE AFRICANS TALK ABOUT OURSELVES, WE IGNORE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT IMPACTS OUR ECONOMY - THE FINANCIAL POWER, THE RICHNESS, THE WEALTH, THE MONEY?
Mimi Kalinda it's all to me so wonderful our African Festivals we so pompous must celebrate - the class, the beauty, the culture, and the elegance!
Why don't we talk about the financial impact these festivals have in our economies and respectively promote IT!
We've somehow have to get this well-financed, if we want to guarantee its #sustainability through many future generations!
I know it's an #evil to associate #money with #culture in Africa!
Without money though, the #creatives cannot survive and our #cultures would all eventually #die_out!
Can one imagine how many #small_businesses ' #tailors, #hairdressers, #hawkers etc are benefiting from these #festivals?
Why is nobody talking about the #economic_impact these festivals are bringing to us and why we should be having the economic interests of assuring their #Sustainability?
#Culture shouldn't only be about #partying and #enjoyment!
There has to be a #BiggerPurpose behind all of IT!
Can any of the many other Africans with the foundations in #economics step forward, analyse and also narrate IT?

“As a proud indigene of Ogun State, I couldn't help but appreciate the greatness that is Nigerian in the visuals l've seen of the Ojude Oba Festival - the class, the beauty, the culture, and the elegance.
I commend every Nigerian creative for their exceptional and authentic storytelling, illuminating this beautiful spectacle and sharing our unique story with the world.
Keep doing what you do; your passion and dedication are what make our stories come alive and resonate far beyond our borders.”
Prof. Yemi Osinbajo

If you're like me, and are obsessed with the father of advertising in Ethiopia, "ጋሽ ውብሸት ወርቃለማሁ", let me invite you to what I have just found online. This is a hard-hitting interview made by Tewodros Tsegaye with Ato Wibeshet Werqalemahu, a prominent figure in the advertising industry in Ethiopia. The interview primarily focuses on the controversies that arose as a result of his explicit statements on various social issues, including but not limited to, his private life, which were published in print and broadcast media.
