Luanda Angola 🇦🇴,second pic : Bandjoun,West Cameroon 🇨🇲. Point here: You damn right we live in huts too. We are fancy according to OUR standards not your perspective of what you deem fancy for us . People will laugh and think living in huts is a bad thing but for some,it's sheer culture . Those people have the most peace and freedom. They built those huts with their bare hands and I can guarantee you they have no bills ,grow their own food and have access to nature without a permit . So who has the last laugh here? We as Africans need to start claiming every part of what makes us unique and diverse.
