Kudos to African parents. We, the generation you almost killed with beating say ....
THANK YOU

And if you were beaten because of any 3 of the above, please gather here for" *Survival & Thanksgiving* ��

Elders please arise and help this generation, they need us to guide them, start from your own end fast, things are gradually degenerating.
*Our culture must not die!!!*
