    Great to see African decendants investing in their motherland, this will add value and create employment. This will send a clear message to the Chinese that the sons and daughters of the Continent are coming to reclaim what belongs to them. Kudos!

    New subscriber here! You are doing a fabulous job! Just encouraging words here: Consider providing the locals with natural items that are healthier for them for example supply them with homemade toothpaste instead of Colgate which has fluoride and it is not good for the body. Providing natural items for the body will make your local mini market stand out from the rest and the local people will love you for it. Peace 💙
