I am from Turkey. I am a doctoral student of Journalism of Istanbul University. I am writing my thesis this semester. My thesis is about African freelancers. I am especially focused on Angola, Nigeria and South Africa. The title of my thesis is: Reproduction of Inequality in Digital Capitalism in the Context of Digital Labor: The Example of Africa. I want to speak with freelancers to get knowledge about the work process and experiences. I prepared questions for this. And my university approved the questions be ethically right. So if you want, I want to talk with you. And if you accept, I can send you the questions and consent form. It takes maximum one hour to answer the questions. And I am okay that you can write the document that I can send you. The consent form involves more details. Have a good day.
Hello r/Africa community.
Hope you are all doing fine and well.
Here is a video that you guys will definitely find interesting titled "Who are the Hausa Tribe? The Largest Ethnic group in West Africa."

BTW: The guy that made this video has made countless other videos which talk about the different ethnic group in Africa.
Do native African people come together to canvass and look for their missing friends, neighbors, community members when they go missing?
I moved from Canada to Tanzania this year, know well what's going on in the western world. Meanwhile, here in Africa life is relatively normal, free. I see African friends watching social media posts from friends living in Europe as if all is well there, when I know its not true. So Africans, you left Africa for a better life but are now living in a nightmare, that's only getting worse by the day. Do your African friends in Africa a favor and stop pretending life is grand there, bc its anything but. Reality is you and your family are being forced to take a lethal shot or lose your rights and livelihood. Africans in Africa know full well the vaxx is death so you're not fooling anyone.

The power and efficacy an African name conveys is the strength of African last names. African last names can also be referred to as African surnames. Your last name can/might be the name of your immediate father but in Africa, it is unique. Usually, our last names are from our paternal grandfather/great grandfather. It is like an ancestry name. A name transmitting from one generation to the other.
While there are diverse African names, the root and meaning can be traced to the county or tribe. In other words, my country does not give an in-depth meaning of my last name.
There are various tribes in African countries and each tribe has an African name synonymous with them. In Africa, names are special information about a family and their rituals. An African name explains and expresses a lot about a family. In those days, when a man finds a woman to settle down with, his family will not ask him about the name of the girl.
Rather, he will be asked what family she comes from. This also happens in the girl’s family.
At the mention of a family name, the elders in the family can tell immediately if the family of the boy or girl is a reputable one. If heredity diseases or misfortune are happening in the family, you will be advised not to marry from such a family

African festivals are celebrations in honour of an individual, a book, music, film etc. Once a thing or individual has gain prominence and popularity, it can become a festival. Also, authority over art can be turned into a festival.
Festivals in Nigeria is a sight to behold. It makes your mouth drop with wonders. It is so amazing that it is gaining a lot of recognition.
This is a festival that must be watched by all. Have you tried catching fish? Imagine you and thousands of people trying to catch the biggest fish? I bet is going to be fun.
Catching the biggest fish is what the Argungun festival is all about. It is a festival that is birthed in Kebbi. A Northern state in Nigeria. Usually, it holds four days a week, every year.
The land is made up of more rivers. Due to this, we have lots of fishermen and farmers. I praise the one who founded this fishing sport. It is indeed awesome. He/she see what they have and created an amazing African festival from it.
Argungun cultural festival has been ongoing since 1934 and the aim is to create a wonderful fishing experience and unity in the community. Lovely right? Now to our next festival.
The festival is celebrated to thank the gods for an abundance of food during the harvest period. It is a festival held by the Ahanta people of the western province of Ghana.
Since the 17th century, the Kundum festival has been in existence. Myth has it that, once upon a time, a hunter called Ampoley went to the forest and by chance, he saw some dwarfed dancing in circles.
He watches them closely and went home to narrate his tale to the people. He recreated the dance steps for the people and ever since then, it has become a ritual dance.
The ritual dance is to ward off evil spirits from the towns and villages. During the festival, the dance is performed by the Axim people and neighbouring community.
Kundum festival is a religious and harvest celebration. It begins when a certain palm fruit becomes ripe.
It holds for four weeks but the first three weeks, dancing, singing and drumming is held in the out skit of town. In a place called Siedu/Sienu.
The three major components of the Kundum festival is dancing, singing and feast. In terms of dress code, there is a special attire for the occasion.
At the beginning of the festival, the musicians take five different drums to the shrines in the out skit of town.
At the shrine, prayers are offered to the gods for the well being of the people. A libation of rum is also offered by pouring some on the ground.
