It's a pity how we Africans have been fully colonized, mentally. I asked a similar question on thread below. Africans are in big poo of mental slavery. https://www.nairaland.com/1820035/simple-test-africans-only However, it's not your fault that you can't name this colors in your native language. Rather, it's our collective stupidity as a result of the education system we inherited during colonization of Africa. If you want to know why you're unable to name this colors in your native language go to the site on my signature. Join me let's change science education in Africa for good!. |
