Every time I do a giveaway here, there is always some geographical limitation, but some of you Sweet Potatoes are not very happy about it. So let me explain several things:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> \u00a0When brands are sponsoring the giveaway – like the current one with the purple robe<\/strong><\/a>. Have you entered yet? – they decide the rules.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> \u00a0Financially, it only makes sense for brands to prefer winners to be located where they are located. For example, if Company ABC, located in Baltimore, Maryland is giving away a bag of rice that is worth $10, it won’t make sense for Company ABC to mail said bag of rice for $100 to Nigeria because now, Company ABC is spending way more than the worth of the bag of rice. You get?<\/p>\n

Okay, let’s do this giveaway:<\/p>\n

Since I launched my small shop, I have been meaning to do a giveaway of the t-shirt. For the Sweet Potatoes in America, I’ll still do a giveaway for you. For now, however, I have worked out the logistics for the Lagos\/Abuja Sweet Potatoes. Yes, I am aware that there are many more States in Nigeria than the two mentioned here, but I have not worked out the logistics for them. Once I do, I’ll be sure to do another one.want to do one for the Lagos and\/or Abuja Sweet Potatoes.<\/p>\n

I created this t-shirt as my own little way of schooling people – the non-African\u00a0people, that is. After living in America for 16 years, I am so sick and tired of people referring to my beloved continent as if it’s a country. There are no words to explain the absurdness of someone planning a trip to “Africa,” but when you ask them where in Africa, they don’t know. I’d like to see them board a flight heading to the International Airport of Africa. Don’t let me preach too much here; this is, after all, a giveaway.<\/p>\n

This is the Africa tee, which I hold close to my heart. It’s a UNISEX v-neck tee that is made of soft, lightweight, premium cotton. It’s a stylish, expressive, and witty way of screaming without screaming that Africa is not a country. \u00a0You may enter to win very, very easily via the Rafflecopter box. There will be 5 total winners, and the giveaway will end on Thursday (August\u00a019th 2016), so please enter to win.<\/p>\n
