Hi inhabitants of the Steemit Planet...
I am 
Few hours ago, I was thinking of so many things and one of the things that came to mind was, **What is the big deal about Africa?**
I really didn't know where this question came from. But like the proud African that I am, I immediately answered myself and said to myself, "Africa is the big deal". Another question that came to mind was, why should you even be proud of being an African? What has African done? What do they have to show? I started giving myself so many answers and then I said there got to be more.
The curious me decided to ask questions, do some research and I got schooled.
HOW AFRICA BLESSED THE WORLD

3. Modern Art
Africa played a huge role in inspiring celebrated artists such as Picasso, Kirchner or Matisse.
In the early 1900s, the met Museum in New York described the aesthetics of traditional African sculpture as “a powerful influence among European artists who formed an avant-garde in the development of modern art”.
4. JOLLOF RICE
This special dish has its origin from West Africa. The best Jollof Rice can be traced to Nigeria and Ghana. I kid you not!
The massive adoption of Jollof Rice all over the world is overwhelming.
