@bookoclockudus of the Earth. To say that they don't read is a fallacious statement that no one should believe.Although, it's undeniable that there are several factors affecting the culture of reading as a flourishing one e.g poverty and ignorance.

@bookoclockudus I strongly disagree with the statement Africans don't read because Africans all over the world are showing out everyday, putting their best foot forward. Africans,I am proud and unapologetic to say are one of the most intelligent beings on the surface 1/2
