AFRICA: HOME OF RICH CULTURAL AND TRADITIONAL BEAUTY

 

Africa, the black nation is a testament to the beauty of God's Creation. Take it or leave it, the black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of continental greatness. Even John Henrik Clarke agrees with me by saying. "Africa is our center of gravity, our cultural and spiritual mother and father, our beating heart, no matter where we live on the face of this earth."

Africa, just as its bizarre continental greatness in terms of nature, is not lacking that of intelligent, brilliant and creative inmates also. Africans, emerging from the hole of ignorance, have explored, become successful and attained fulfilment to humanity beauty.

Here at Explore Africa With The Moria, we eavesdropped around the Centre of Excellence(Lagos) and discovered another beautiful unique creation here in Nigeria, Africa.

So, What am I talking about?... We will be exploring a hand-dyed textile company. Yeah, you read right! Moreover, it is here in Nigeria, not in France nor Germany.
