The length of the day and night varies according to the season and latitude.
The combined day/night cycle is 24 hours on all places on Earth.
If you live inside the Arctic or Antarctic Circles you have 24 hour cycles of daylight sometimes and 24 hour cycles of night sometimes.
Only at the equinox are the day and night equal.
Note: there are some quibbles about the length of the day because it depends on whether you define the day as starting when the sun just starts to peek out and ending when it just has its last visible piece. If you instead define it as when the middle of the sun becomes visible until when the middle of the sun is below the horizon, that makes a few minutes difference.
One can write a mathematical formula for this that is correct to within a few seconds for any latitude and day of the year.

Does in Africa days are longer then nights?
Africa is a very large continent, with parts in the northern hemipshere and part in the southern hemisphere, so the equator goes through it. The parts closest the equator experience no real difference in the length of days and nights throughout the year. Parts of Africa that are futher from the equator do experience a difference. There is a lengthening and shorterning of days. So it depends on where you are in Africa and the time of year.
