A thought on time
It makes sense that Africans are often late. Africa is poor. They haven’t had many clocks in their societies for very long –and even fewer that are constantly working. People say this is a bad quality for development. I think it’s ok. Being late doesn’t really hurt anyone, they just get things done on their own time schedules, they organize their priorities differently, and since almost everyone does it, it usually works out. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a people who takes its time, stops to interact with things along her path, or lives by the rhythm of the sun.
