Why this awkward feeling that Africans are hated? Why this suspicious feeling that Africans are not given their desired respect amongst the communities of nations all over the world? Why this unhealthy feeling that anything African is looked down even when it is classy and world class? Sadly, some uninformed Africans are beginning to accept this feeling as their own. How sad?

Do you know that some wayward African businessmen and politicians are now importing foreign stew, foreign toothpicks, foreign bottled water and foreign everything from China and Dubai? Shameful. Isn’t it?
This is precisely an act of self-hatred, even by Africans, against Africa which has resulted in low patronage of made in African products, closure of local African industries, high cost of living and general poverty in the continent.
But are these feelings true? No! They are totally untrue, uncanny and false. Africa deserves more than she is presently being given by the fate of nations.
To support this argument, some young Nigerian creative minds have recently come up with a brilliant idea of how to reverse this ugly trend against Africa and African products. Their ideas have given birth to the formation of Wealth Integrity Network African (WINA). Their official website is www.winamall.com. Winamall.com which was created to heal the emotional part of Africans, restore the dignity of African minds and products and promote all made in African products free. This calls for celebration because many product producers in African are now visiting the site to showcase their products for free. Products listed in Winamall.com are easily seen by millions of shoppers worldwide who visit the site to buy acts, fashion, paintings, sculpture, lifestyle, African food and the rest of them. Africans in the diaspora are now having a field day. They now have easy access to their chosen products, including African foodstuffs. Products are requested for through phone numbers and email addresses displayed on Winamall.com contact page or by searching through Winamall’s products categories and going through the checkout menu.
It is expected that in the next few years, African products will flood international markets and will be well appreciated by foreign buyers. But as the saying goes, charity begins at home. Visit the company’s website and signup. You can upload your products for free at https://www.winamall.com/signup.php, no hidden charges or you can buy products by visiting the site.
Additionally, new upstarts like www.eniwok.com, a pioneering African online rental marketplace, is doing Africa proud. Eniwok.com encourages Africans to hire or lease equipment, household items, building tools and accessories in their market place, instead of buying new. It is a state-of-the-art and well-secured site. www.eniwok.com can best be described as a B2B online marketplace, equipment leasing service provider, equipment leasing broker, personnel hiring broker, equipment leasing contractor, personnel hiring company, equipment for hire next door, a hiring manager and best equipment leasing business in Nigeria i.e. Lagos, Abuja, Warri, Benin, Port Harcourt, Aba and Jos, and in other countries like South Africa, Ghana, Gambia, Cameroon, Egypt and USA.
The new African feelings should be that of self-fulfillment, self- appreciation, social dignity, and continental love and pride.

Love Africa. Support Africans.
