Our world will never remain the same




Like a dream, thoughts were cast and statements were made, sown like seeds
Nobody thought they will land, let alone grow and stay in the heart of men
Alas! The chord struck resonated, it resonated with those who call themselves patriots
The chord sounded like the one we just heard across the sea
The sound became louder and it was re-echoed

The time came, and choices were made
Before we know what was going on, our greatest nightmare has become a reality (came true)
The realty TV actor and pseudo-business mogul has been elected the leader of the most powerful country in the world
Our world will never remain the same again – which way, no one can tell
But there are lots of fears, that we may be reaching the beginning of the end

Those who were trusted to make this change are convinced that this is what is needed
But no one knows if they knew the full import of their decision
While some held on to the promises that are too good to be true
Some just wanted a change at all cost
A change that looks different from what they have known
Some even called this the hand of God, a fulfillment of His prophesy and promises
Many did not even know what they voted for, a savior or a monster

May evil days be far from us
May the change we anticipate not change our world in a way we will be no more
Our world will never remain the same

The untapped gold mine in Nigerian Tourism

ALL of these countries have something in common: Egypt (Pyramid; Nile), Kenya (Games; Nile), Greece (Ancient Ruins), Israel (Bible sites), China (Wall), USA (Grand Canyon, Rockies), Spain, France (Eiffel), Morocco (Marrakesh), Canada (Rockies), Australia (Kangaroo), German (Wall of Berlin), United Kingdom (Palaces), Saudi-Arabia (Mecca-Medina), Madagascar (Forest of knives), South Africa; Central America - Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, Cayman Island, St. Lucia, Virgin Island, Puerto Rico, Mexico (Beaches and exotic sites), Dubai (High towers, Real Estate), India (Medical care, IT, Taj Mahal), etc. These are some of the best tourist destinations in the world.

Botswana, a country of 2.3 million people...

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...
