There is a saying from the west that goes "If you want to hide something from a black man put it in a book" which bothers me alot though its true so to speak. Africans we are very lazy or lack interest when it comes to reading I included. Rarely can you find a home library in a black man's house and if they are there cob webs are all over since they are never utilized. Its very shameful of us not to embrace the culture of reading which makes one knowledgeable of many issues. I am trying to fight that culture by starting with myself. How can we eradicate this partly because of poverty we lack time to read simply because we are very busy in looking for money to make ends meet but that's no excuse. Even reading a newspaper is a problem we just peruse through when you ask someone what is in the paper they can tell you in details and yet the papers are there. Please lets change this otherwise we are doomed.
