87% of Burkina Faso can’t find Burkina Faso on a map
(Ouagadougou) A recent study of resident of Burkina Faso can’t find their own country on a map.
“We win,” said a local livestock farmer. “Take that dumb Americans.”
A large percentage of the country cannot read, so many of them had trouble even reading the survey questions.
“I think most of them just participated in the survey for the free Milky Way mini-bites,” remarked a Sorghum merchant.
The results were also likely influenced by the current existent of the Mossi Kingdom and its court in the Burkina capital.
“What’s Burkina Faso?” asked a woman when interviewed. “Long live Mogho Naba.”
