Africa is best known for notable African Proverbs. Throughout Africa, many brilliant minds possess a kingdom of knowledge about how to make friends.
Having friends is an important predictor of happiness and life satisfaction. When you are a child in the playground it is simple, but “Do you want to be my friend?” is not a line you hear from adults. Making friends as an adult can be hard, and takes time.A study from the University of Kansas found that two people need to spend 90 hours together to become friends, or 200 hours to qualify as close friends. Spending time together is a necessary component of friendship development, but the way that time is spent is equally important.Given significant constraints on free time, especially among working adults and parents, individuals must budget their time wisely to make time for friends. Loneliness is something we all feel at times and to varying degrees, but it can be something that we feel uneasy about admitting to.Friendship development is …

The urban population in Africa is steadily increasing. This trend will continue in Africa: the…

Food to buy on the streets of AfricaThe number of street food vendors in Africa is unknown but the economic, social and cultural value of street food for Africa is priceless.

Working on average 10 hours per day street food for many African people becomes the only way to earn a living, and street food vending, in particular, represents one of the easiest and viable jobs, as it requires little start-up capital. Limited access to credit is a major barrier to the growth of the street food enterprises.Food vendors need a license to legally trade in many places in Africa. However neither at the national nor at local level, in Africa there is no framework policy or law specifically regulating street food vending.

Many people eat street food on average 6-7 times a week especially by st…
