The continent of Africa which spans some 30.37 million km² is home to many independent States. Aside officially recognized names, these States do have alternative appellations, the so-called "nicknames" that citizens of these or sister countries have no clue about. Nicknames affiliated to a State often denote the particular country's cultural realities, it's historic antecedents, or more still, some puzzle whose real interpretation remains a mystery to all and sundry.
Dear Steemian, as you go through my list, remember to capture into long-term memory as much as you can; otherwise you could lose a hundred box one day just like me. This may not be a lot for many people but honestly, 100 box can get in handy on those rainy days. You feel me right?! Imagine taking a walk down the street and this Youtuber stops you for a short video shoot. At first you were skeptical and hesitant to endorse his request but out of persuasion, you eventually agreed. You were like 'Ok Dude! Let's Do this". The Youtuber reassures you that the video will last only a few minutes. Out of curiosity, you asked the Youtuber what the video will be out. He smiled and replied:
It's a game. I will ask you one simple question. If you answer it correctly, you'll get 100 box from me.
Upon realizing the raison d'etre of the video, adrenaline starts pumping into your system, making you very nervous. You thought of reversing your earlier decision to proceed but the devil in you strongly advised against it. Yes! It is indeed the devil in you because even though you probably may have wanted to genuinely demonstrate brilliance, the truth of the matter is that the monetary reward significantly increased your willingness to cooperate. When you see yourself agreeing without calculating, inspired by money, then know the devil is at work. After all, the "Good News" says the love of money is the root of all evil.
Gradually you mustered courage and when you felt ready enough, you signaled the Youtuber. Those charged with backend management ready also signaled they were ready. Ceteris paribus, the Youtuber popped the Question. The simple Question is: Which country in Africa is also known as the Smiling Coast of Africa?
