In speaking of the African Vanguard, and as with it even speaking of Direction, and as taken in all, and as with regards to speak of African Identity and as said Contemporary too, is to in all ways even speak of West Africa (and not Western Africa either), and all this too and as versus speak of Southern/South Africa in all that is [and further speak too and in a Historical context here, and of Songhay and as versus Mali/Timbuktu too that is].
