My Africa Has Always Been Yours

THAT ANCIENT STORY

There is a story that was told in the past, its being told at present but it shall never be told in the future. A story of a helpless,  dependent and naive Africa. A story that describes Africa as a Charity dependent country instead of a continent.
This is a story that leaves the fully muscled African youth consoled by the Trinitarian pledge "as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end." 
A story that sees the young African maiden swerve her way to Italy to get glued to a wealthy Italian investor.
It is a story of the African that cannot survive without the philanthropic acrobatics of the Western nations.
It is a story of woe!!!
A story that sees a hungry family selling all they have just to get their son across Europe.
A story which narrates how a 1st class graduate from an African university is made a subordinate to a 3rd class graduate from a European university.
A story of neglect, an epic of woe, a tale of humiliation,  a narrative of weakness.
A story that features the black partaking in this  self-soaked lamentation,  condemning his continent and denying his colour.
It is an Ancient Story of woe, of disgrace, of perpetual ideological slavery.

Black is beautiful
You can even make it more beautiful.
Change your ideology

Change your judgement.

THE REALITY OF BEING REAL PREAMBLE One among the most said things about people is the description of their person, worth, rank, office, and we can go on and on…. Yet the reality of the truthfulness of these descriptions is randomly swayed up and about the shades of lies and pretense. Most times when our friends celebrate birthdays and christening, etcetera,  we tend to hype their ego and tell them all sorts of good things, the things they would like to hear. I don’t see this as a wrong move, in the cases where those eulogies are themselves true, yet I see it as unfair when the reason for wasting such words is merely to fulfill the unquestioned injunction which says…. “It’s your day! Have fun!”. Now, the simple truth is this: when we do this we create a bigger problem which associates itself with the already existing one…….self-ignorance. WHAT’S THE PROBLEM I once met a lady who cautiously stared at the inscription at the breast side of my shirt “Theopet” and asked: is...

28 February

THORN AND THRONE The unique character of this date makes everyday it takes important, necessary, problematic and undesiring. One would ask, how can something be necessary and problematic or important and undesiring at the same time? This means that there is indeed something about 28 February.  28 February represents very fittingly, a day when the joy arousing from the untamable muscular expression of amazement and fulfilment on the face of an employee is beheld by all who come in contact with him. On this day, the employee's joy is humanly inexpressible. He is happy that he doesn’t have to work for thirty days to get paid. He is happy because he had got himself an extension of three more days before the bank loan runs overdue.  Consequently, the employer does not share in this intense feeling of happiness. He is dissatisfied by the emergence of February. He incessantly weeps over his thirty days budget which would have to run a three days loss as a result. It ...

While reacting to the issue, the CAN president's media aide, Pastor Oladeji Adebayo, s...
