70+ Best African wisdom quotes and wise sayings
Wisdom is wealth! One thing I respect deeply about Africa is the
treasure of wisdom our ancestors have handed down to us. While some of
our leaders may have forgotten them, the rest of us don’t need to. From
prudent sayings on wisdom itself, to judicious encouragements, warnings
and even quirky advice on learning, patience, unity, wealth, poverty,
community, family, love and marriage, these quotes will inspire you to
be the best you can possibly be.
When you follow in the path of your father, you learn to walk like him. ~Ashanti Proverb

Cause of Ebola outbreak was 'a young boy playing near colony of infected bats', scientists say
Scientists said today that the cause of
the deadly Ebola virus that hit West Africa this year was a 2 year old
boy, known as patient zero, who played on a tree near a colony of
virus-infested bats in his village in Meliandou,
Guinea. He was the first person to die but before he died, he infected
other family members, who then spread it to others and the virus
eventually spread into other areas in Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal, before moving to the US, UK and Spain.
This Ebola outbreak is by far the
largest ever-recorded outbreak and it has killed about 7,800 people by
Dec. 17, 2014, according to WHO.
