Know where it is? Neither do I really.. other than that it is somewhere in Africa
However, I have a friend who used to live there for a couple of years and while he says there is really nothing to do or see there, he really enjoyed the time he spent there as a teacher and always waxed lyrically about the place.
It just so happened that he was reminiscing about Burkina Faso again at work a few days ago and I chanced upon an online article that mentioned the said place that night and so I decide to google the name and see what came up.
The first was a wikipedia article that started off by talking about how the country’s name came about….“Formerly called the Republic of Upper Volta, it was renamed on August 4, 1984, by President Thomas Sankara to mean “the land of upright people” in Moré and Dioula, the major native languages of the country. Literally, “Burkina” may be translated, “men of integrity,” from the Moré language, and “Faso” means “father’s house” in Dioula.” ……and then something else that made me burst out in laughter …and which provide the reason for today’s post.
Q= Do you know what people who live Burkina Faso are called?
A = Burkinabes hehehe (Nabes = hokkien vulgarity)
Yes…we are in a juvenile kinda mood tonight
