The "Mama Africa" title reminds me of when I went to Kenya, as a missions trip that was being sent from a an upper middle-class suburban African-American church. The pastor, who was so obese that he was literally wider than he was tall, benedicted us, teary eyed, with the words "Say hello to thah muthahland fuh me."
I heard Mama Africa in the refrain of a Nigerian hip hop song and it's stuck with me ever since. Always good to spend time in thah muthahland...
