Africans have gone through so many problems, they don't have the leisure to tempt fate. We have hunger, poverty, mosquitoes and dictators to deal with. That's a full plate if you ask me. Personally am afraid of heights so you better rob me than tell me to go inside that contraption. Already, the banana ride here makes me scream like a little girl. >>>Anyone with a YouTube link to that?? Before I die - i will touch the sky!!

....
We tend to think we are brave folk but that is just our brain making excuses - do you think a black fellow would have done a columbus or a vasco da gama? heading out to parts unknown not knowing of the edge of the world was actual and they would fall off? we only know about those two coz their stories were told, written or recorded. now how many africans do you think ventured beyond their comfort zone but never got their deeds recorded? pretty many i believe. how many say sailed to other continents and settled there or came back but their tales were never recorded and or kept? there are however several stories of africans handling their fears well - courage is not the absence of fear....(add your favourite phrase there). Perhaps you're right. I often ask myself: just as we read of the Arabs, Indians, Chinese, etc coming to our shores in days gone by for trade, do Indians for instance read of Africans from Africa who visited their shores on trade missions? Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
