A Quote by Samuel Eto'o

I try to represent Africa and Cameroon as well as I can. — © Samuel Eto'o
I try to represent Africa and Cameroon as well as I can.
I represent my country, but I also represent the continent of Africa when I play in Europe. That's why it's important to try to achieve something big.
I'm from Cameroon, Central Africa.
In Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Angola and Cameroon maize is a staple, yet the earliest mention of maize in west Africa comes from a Portuguese document that lists it as being loaded on to slave ships bound for Africa.
I've always said that even before Cameroon, I belong to Africa.
I left Cameroon when I was 13 years old, and I've lived more in Europe than Africa.
We have our own script. We have our own calendar. We represent the greatness of Africa's past. We also represent the worst of Africa's present, in terms of poverty. It is the best and the worst of African reality.
I go back to Africa every year. I have a home there. You know, my grandfather lives back there in Cameroon.
Cameroon is stronger because it's a country of conquerors, of winners. Cameroon's players aren't necessarily very technical, but that when they play, they play to win.
The most special goal of my career was the one that I scored against Cameroon in injury time to send Senegal into the Africa Cup of Nations back in the 2011-12 season. That was the most unforgettable moment of my career.
South Africa is not Cameroon. It's a strong economy. I think they should be the first ones setting an example - improving the legal punishments for those that are involved, reinforcing the borders from every angle, meaning that even the diplomatic plane that lands in South Africa should not have the green light to leave without having the plane inspected. Obviously, those guys are often involved. If I get killed for saying that, so be it. That is the fact. There's way too many important people that are involved that don't want to change.
When I get a chance to play in South Africa, I will try to do well.
I just try to show everything I represent and I represent God so I want to put that in my music.
I'm trying to have Wakanda represent all of Africa.
I like to try new things as well as stay in my comfort zone so I think all the styles or looks I do, represent me.
Of course, I am the first democratically elected woman president in Africa, and that raises a lot of expectations. Because I represent the aspirations of women all over Africa, I must succeed for them. I must keep the door open for women's participation in politics at the highest level. That is both humbling and exciting.
People try not to think about what's going on in sub-Saharan Africa. They edit it out of their daily lives. Especially Americans. We prefer a fantasy version of Africa.
