I know I was not alone, others were praying in their homes as well. I will not be shocked if there were\u00a0 a couple of prayer meetings in various African countries.<\/p>\n<p>Let me tell you something unique about African&#8217;s living in Africa. There is a moment in time when we turn the African continent into a small country to the point that if someone screamed in South Africa, best believe it, it can be heard in Morocco. This was one of the moments. If Angola wins, Africa wins and if they loose, we all loose.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth runner-up:Miss China, Luo Zilin. Third runner-up: Miss Philippines, Shamcey Supsup.

He was the driving force behind the liberation of the Portuguese colonies in Africa, promoting independence in Portuguese colonies such as Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and Angola.<\/p>\n<p>Okay so why bring Am\u00edlcar Cabral&#8217;s name up in such an unrelated topic, you may ask? Give me a moment to explain.<\/p>\n<p>See in Africa we believe in the spirits of Ancestors, angels that guard Africa and its people.\u00a0 So now let me ask you :<\/p>\n<p>1.Would you say it is a coincidence that Miss Angola&#8217;s full name is <strong>Leila Luliana da Costa Vieira Lopes<\/strong> and Born in Angola by Cape Verdean parents, has a similarity to the ancestor <strong>Am\u00edlcar Lopes da Costa Cabral<\/strong> of Cape Verdean parents born in Guinea-Bissau who for fought to liberate Portuguese colonies including Angola in Africa?<\/p>\n<p>2. Would you say I am crazy to count the letters in their common name &#8220;<strong>LOPES DA COSTA<\/strong>&#8221; and come up with the number\u00a0 <strong>12<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>3. Is it Ironic that Am\u00edlcar Lopes da Costa Cabral was born on <strong>September\/12\/1924<\/strong> and on <strong>September \/12 \/2011<\/strong> , Leila Luliana da Costa Vieira Lopes, the first Angolan was crowned miss Universe?<\/p>\n<p>I must be crazy to think an African ancestor, an Angel was there to endorse its\u00a0 African Daughter as Miss universe. God has his own ways of doing things.His protection and blessings on the African soil and its people shall forever be a testimony.<\/p>\n<p>And now the 2011 Miss universe goes to &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4212\" title=\"leila  lopes miss universe 2011\" src=\"https:\/\/orijinculture.com\/community\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/leilae-lopes-miss-universe-2011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"391\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hxAJM26kECg\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"635\" height=\"345\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cgBT8SYq41s\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"635\" height=\"345\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five contestants left.
