I used to believe that there was a whole separate continent called "West Africa". It was divided into twenty-some countries. Among continents, it ranked in area between Europe and Antarctica. And where was this "West Africa" continent located? It took up a good portion of what is actually the Indian Ocean, EAST of Africa. Go figure!
