Yeah, you eadd right! Yesterday, March 15, a Zimbabwean human rights lawyer & General Secretary, World YWCA, Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda was at a hotel reception in the U.S when a man asked her the ignorant questions.
For over twenty years, Mrs Gumbonzvanda (pictured with Hollywood actress, Ashley Judd) has been working on issues of women and children's human rights with a special focus on crisis countries. After the cut is what she shared on her Facebook page...
"Okay, I was taken aback and am kind of angry and sad at ignorance, but more so at the perception of Africa. I was collecting my keys at the hotel reception and this guys said, aaah, you are from Africa, from Zimbabwe right? I said yes. He was holding my passport.
Then he went on to say with true conviction "wow, how do you live with giraffes and the lions? Are you not afraid to just kind of wake up and see a lion staring at you?"
I looked at him, and said no am not afraid. we are all part of nature.
I am still nursing some sad feeling about how many people in this United States of America do not really know about Africa and have warped ideas. Or its maybe only this single guy. Ummm"

This is so funny.
Ndi Ala! Oyinbos think there's no other world aside the one dey live in. Linda take note!
She should have said "aaah, you are from north America, from USA right?". Then went on to say with true conviction "wow, how do you live with all the idiots? Are you not afraid to just kind of wake up and see an idiot staring at you?"
Linda gud morning d man is high.....
We shouldn't blame the poor guy. I worked with an American firm and my MANAGER once told me that the only thing they teach them about Africa in their country is only that "Africa is the Dark Continent" and is riddled with disease and all other bad stuff.
He said that it's rather unfortunate that only those who are privileged to travel out and visit Africa that ever get to know the truth and appreciate Africa as a great continent.
Until they get Educated we just have to keep up bearing their Ignorance
Dumb ass question I wouldn't even answer him if it was me!
Lol
He is right cos the kevel of hardship, starvation, hunger, greedy & wickedness our leaders is subjecting us in Africa is worst rhan living with giraffe & lions.
What a dumb question to ask, that shows his level of ignorance and insensitivity.

If it's an African saying that to a westerner, we say it's illiteracy. Who is the illiterate in this case?
At this modern day and age, someone is asking such a dumb question. Is he saying he can't browse the internet? Google has made life easier for us, he should just ask google some few questions abt Africa and everything comes out.
Ignorance is a disease
These Americans though. Wish I could take Africa to them to see but they would have to be the ones to come see themselves.
We, on the other hand, stalk their destiny. It is well.

The level of ignorance of the average American, especially the millennials is shocking. Majority of them think Africa is a country and do not even know who George Washington is
Ma bi mi no jamb question, I no be Dundee I no fool...
Oh yea, that's the mentality they have of Africa. I remember when one white dude that reads my rap blog (kaysrapzone.com) found out I was from Nigeria, he was shocked and asked how I manage to get internet in the jungle. lol!
Do You Have Problems Lasting Long in Bed?
They don't care about us! Michael said it a long time ago. Yet I do not blame the poor dude at all cos it all depends on the perception and teaching he derived from school. It could as well might have been a pretense just to spite the woman and create a scene.
Trust me that question wasn't out of ignorance, I would not answer such dumb question...silence, they say, is the best answer for a fool
Ma bi mi ni jamb question, I no be Dundee I no fool...
Your school of thought is as good as believing that all Nigerians are criminals, quite a lot aren't, same goes for the whites, many are actually very dumb. I have lived with them well enough to tell...
Ignorant fellows
get your affordable watch
N dey travelled down to Africa to steal lion n monkey in our reserve .pity those who adopt the white culture .
She answered the question well sef..
I don't think She responded well.
I bet she was short of asking her the preposterous question, how do you live with ur ape cousins?
How much are they going for.
What's your body temperature today my dear. You are myopic oh....
Dumb question from a dumb person#Lindangwanu#
This is just a simple question,I don't see this as a crime. Perhaps,they did not know. . . you only needed to explain it to them in a simple and clear terms.
Hehehehhe..that man sure doesn't know where africa is on d map
These Oyimbo people FOOLISH gan oO #UncleTeeSaysSO
Half of them don't even know Africa is a continent. When they tell them to school they won't hear. 70% of Americans haven't been to college. That's why Michele was so excited about that go to college video.
Which kine yeye question is that? How can that guy even believe such a thing about Africa.
Living with lion and giraffe, as per wild life which we be nah.
Ode man
Hmm mm, such a question

The guy is just an illiterate, would have told him that to his face sha
Is our leaders that are lions and Gorilla oh! All Africa leaders are selfish, they only want to stay in power for years and steal our money to boast Oyinbo Economy! #OurLeaders,oursetback*
What kind of dumb question is that for heaven's sake?
Nice reply madam...single story of Africa..you would have asked her that you keep wondering how they manage to avoid serial killers in their hotel
Linda, you have been called out to speak on the Gender equality bill. Sorry to digress.
Their ignorance is by choice, they only want to see or know things abt them but someday they will definitely know that Africa is not as primitive as the y imagined.
Not surprised
YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM THAT YOU ARE LIKELY GOING TO DIE OF GUNSHOT IN AMERICA THAN BEING MAULED BY LIONS.
Jamb question
Stupid racist! @ Freeborn zinalima U an ape how comes U all the Yorubas! Muslims and Buhari Ur problem untill it affects U psychologically??? U now mentally unstable, I wish U know ur parents so that dey can help ur situation! But unfortunately U ar freeborn, u were produced out of 1nyt stand, and ur mum dumped U @ d nearest waste bin and moved. I really pity U.
Whites r dumb I've lived with them. D most intelligent r Asians especially Chinese/Koreans followed by Africans. Whites r olodos wn they r solving problems in class their face will be shining blood red. D only diff is their desire to develop invent n progress without being corrupt. But odr races r so corrupt n backward in they way they reason, let's not forget excessively spiritual too always blaming everything to chance
Thank u. U know dm whites so well. He's jus indirectly calling u a monkey but didn't know how to say it directly
Onyx blacks r very intelligent u dnt knw how deeply whites have enslaved odr races. Always using dm while being their master. U know when a househelp cleans d house n dn a visitor comes n praises d owners for having a clean n beautiful home
@white man's question. Shoro niyen??
Americans are ignorants na we wey we dey live for there wey get their passport etc knw the level of their ignorance,in sch one of my friends said sometin similar to me until i played banana video on youtube for him to see and i told him to stop watching the tv stations he has been watching
Mtchewww!... dee
The woman's response is the reason they still ask such questions. She didnt say anything to deny that we walk freely amongst wild animals. Instead she said " we are all part of nature" which will only further butress the idea in his head.
freeborn bamislam zinalima At least Zimbabwe has no Boko Haram to abduct kill people. Why joining hands with whites instead of joining with fellow African. Don't just hate.
Smh... Them white guy was obviously being sarcastic and the lady in question didn't get it... Come on guys
Shoro niyen?
She should have directed the question to the giraffe in the White House.
This is not being sarcastic, this happens all the time. These people think we still walk around naked. You won't just believe how they see Africans till you go over there and have a chat with random people (if at all they give you audience/chance).
See question
Very funny..
Mtcheww

Spikes keeps the wild away.
That question should be reversed
No a lot of them honestly are that ignorant. And she kind of accepted that Africans live amongst aminals by saying we embrace nature. I watched one african actress description of Kenyan were she was from. And all she could say was giraffes on the street and all.. The whites have a large number of ignorant people. However instead of our leaders going to drop of their stolen wealth there they should sponsor global programs to showcase Africa and its beauty.
U are right onyx we are even dying becos of dollar whahala shame niger
Lol,I visited my Aunt in the U.S. and her friend asked how many hours the flight took.I replied her and the next thing she asked me was "Do you speak English?" Lmao,sicko.My Aunt was so mad.The woman is Black American.I didn't even get pissed cos this crazy person asked a question and I replied her in the same English o.Most of them are ignorant,the rest are just plain crazy.
Onyx u just displayed a high level of ignorance boy! Have u heard of the American car giant GM, makers of cheverolet and the rest? Well u should know a Nigerian man, Jelani Aliyu designed the first ever advanced electric vehicle. Brilliant engr!! Watch his documentary on youtube. Do you research news at all? Or is all ur data for instagram and snapchat? Get cured of silly stereotyping pls.
How did you know he's white ?
@ onyx, you can go back to the drawing board, first civilization came from Africa, trust me and do more research. Yeah, we speak their language only because it's the world's lingua franca but even the numbers and alphabets all came from Africa, food for thought.
