T.I.A

["It stands for This Is Africa, and it conveys a strange brand of fatalism — adoring and exhausted.Uttered with a shrug, real or verbal, capturing both the love that binds the continent and the chaos that tears it to pieces. War, corruption, blood-red earth and rugged beauty: T.I.A."] (from a movie website)

["This Is Africa
What happens in Africa.
Solomon: My son was killed by the Rebels.
Safo: TIA, everyone dies everyday"] -dictionary website

["This is Africa. They say this here and it means "accept things as they are". It's not easy getting used to it. It also means a change in the value of things so that now a bucket, a torch and a pair of gumboots have become essential."] -earthshare diary
