  I found this forward quite a laugh. No offence meant, and no representation of my view......just a test of sense of humor:
  
  Subject: FW: Africans..


How to tell one African from another: 

It comes as something of a surprise to many Africans to discover that
all Africans look the same to non-Africans. 
How do you tell a Nigerian from a Kenyan, for example; and I am not
talking about passports or clothing? Well the easiest way, of course, is
the name: For example Ogunkoye can only be a Nigerian and Njoroge from
Kenya. 

And so where do the Dunns come from? They are certainly from Liberia or
Sierra Leone. Surely, everybody knows that the loud and cocky ones are
the West Africans; the  brooding and sly ones are the North and South
Africans respectively; the East Africans always say yes, even when they
disagree with you violently. 

To be more specific, the Cameronians will borrow money from you to buy
Champagne; whilst the   Ghanaians think they invented politics. The
Congolese think they have the best music and the best dancers; the
Nigerians have a ! thing about clothes; and the Ethiopians believe they
have the most beautiful women on God's earth. Moroccans actually think
they're French, and so do the Burkinabes. Algerians just hate the
French; Sierra Leonians simply smile profusely; and Liberians can't get
over America. 

All East and South African countries have the same national anthem, but
the South Africans sing it the best. 

The South Africans have no hair; the Zambians and Kenyans have prominent
foreheads; the West Africans have short memories and never learn from
their mistakes; the concept of order and discipline must have been
invented in East Africa; the words don't exist in West Africa,
especially in Nigeria. 

When a cabinet minister is "caught with his hands in the till," he
commits suicide in Southern Africa; in West Africa he's   promoted after
the next coup d'etat. 

In athletics, the divisions are quite simple: from 800m to the marathon
the East Africans hold sway; the West Africans are only good at the
sprints; and South Africans can only sing. But when it comes to football
(soc! cer), the North and West Africans dominate the lesser-skilled East
and South Africans. 

Please read this and forward to all Africans you know!
