Yes it is definately time we potrayed ourselves in a positive way. We cannot wholly blame the western media for potrying us in an inhumane way. Reason being we as africans have to begin helping ourselves before anyone can help us. We cannot deny the fact that we do indeed have poverty,disease and wars in certain parts of africa. The only way we can do help to ourselves is by trying to at least potray more of the "positive than the negative" and work to improve on where we have gone wrong.
