The African villages dwell within and all around Africa also known as the “Motherlands”. Africa is referred to commonly as the most damned continent but the mysteries and treasures of Africa remain a wonder, and people tend to forget the true value and meaning of Africa. The African villages of Africa are small, remote, and isolated. The Africans live in these villages much different then how we Americans live. For shelter, many Africans live in huts made out of straw or other weak material. Many of their homes were made without using any kinds of technology or expensive equipment to make them. The ways of the Africans differ from Americans and many other cultures because the Africans are a traditional culture that is set in the old ways of the ancient Africans. These Africans believe in doing many things by hand, such as clothing.

Clothing is not a big concern for the Africans that dwell within these African villages. Their clothes are cotton spun. Depending on your social class, the material that you wear is usually an indicator of your wealth, power, and significance. This is quite similar to the Americans ways because in today’s day and age, most people are stereotyped and labeled by their garments. In Africa, silk is one of the richest materials and are usually worn by the higher class. High quality can be worn by the rich.

Throughout the African villages, there are many children who value their educations greatly. Most must walk miles just to get to school and walk miles to get home. In school, Africans will learn how to read, write, do arithmetic, and other necessary skills that need to be known in order to survive.

Many of the African villages are very rich in wealth when it comes to natural resources. Many of the resources that America and other continents and countries around the world uses resources such as 90% of the world’s cobalt, 90% of its platinum, 50% of its gold, 98% of its chromium, 70% of its tantalite, 64% of its manganese, and one-third of its uranium. Most Africans are very athletic and like to show off their athletic abilities by playing games such as cricket, soccer, or football. Many men participate in the football games in the Confederation of African Football. Even though Africans are fairly different from Americans, most of their food is somewhat similar and it also differentiates. Africans eat American foods such as hamburgers, seafood such as shrimp, variety of fishes, and many other different assortments of food. Most of the African villages where they reside are located in very hot climates with temperatures rising to as high as 100 degrees or even higher. Most of the African villages are located in hot tropical climates surrounded by tons of desert and lots of open space. In the continent of Africa, everything is natural. In the African villages, it is very important to learn how to survive off of the natural resources around you.

In Africa, villages are the main form of settlement and most of the african people live in them. The villagers respect even the oldest african traditions and everything they do ,the way of living their lives is according to the local customs. Each african village was built after a tradition and you can find the exact story of a village by its name. That is , of course, if you can understand what it means, because the African names are the weirdest you ‘ve ever seen.

The village called Felegorma is was settled because people came there to buy and sell things. It was a kind of market and its name, literally translated means “market place”, so someone thought Felegorma would suit better and its name remained so until today. Romankneh village used to be a good place to hide in times of war ,so people came here with their chiefs and councils to be protected. It had been a very safe place that is why the people called it Romankneh,which means ”the hiding place”. Right now it is the only village that has a radio station and a small hospital.Another African village with an interesting name is Tambiama, named after the river that represents one of ther city’s borders, Tambi. Tambiama actually means the place of the river.Boma is a strong village ,that lasted through many wars and battles.It was founded by a chief of the Krim people and even if the soil there was soft, the village bravely lasted until now. That is why the name of Boma, which means “on soft soil” fits perfectly with the story of this village. Buedu is another African village ,named after the soil it was built on. The village was founded on an area with a rich soil, very favorable to the develeoppement of the agriculture .In the center of the Buedu village there is a market where people from the near by cities come every Friday to bargain for the things they need to buy. Segbweba is a village discovered long time ago by a man called Sei. It is couple of miles away from the Moa River.

The African villages are a side of Africa you definitely need to discover.There don’t abound in richness and most of them don’t have modern facilities,but there are a source of well preserved traditions ,with people proud to be part of them.
