White pap comes out of a black pot - there is always good from evil

 There is always a positive side to every darkness. Since Donald Trump's Shithole statement about Africa, the profile of Africans in the West has been lifted, BLM is now accepted, many African Artists have received star status - Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, Wale, etc; African fashion and dance are in vogue now and it is good time to be an African in the US in spite of all the nonsense racism that still permeates every facet of life here. Many more African movies are available on Netflix, and African dancing style is now very attractive to American pop stars like Diddy and Beyonce. Naomi Osaka, the newly crowned US Open Champion donned a beautiful African fabric and others have done so in the past.

We know that Nigerians like their other African brothers (Ghanaian) are the most educated ethnic groups in the US, better educated on the average than Americans by as much as 100% (33% Americans vs 59% Nigerians with at least a college degree), better than Germans, Chinese, or Koreans. Many more Nigerians and Africans play in the major league sports - the ongoing NBA has close to 10 Nigerians (Oladipo, Adetokunbos (3 of them), Ojeleye, Bam Adebayo, Iguodala, to mention a few).

Unfortunately, the continent continues to suffer in the hands of many clueless leaders after it is obvious they can't lead. The continent is also in the bondage to twisted religious believes perpetuated by those who are only interested in the pockets alone. Unfortunately, the latter is supposed to liberate the mind of the people to create the Abrahamic mentality that Israelite have - Alas, many of those whom God put in charge have used this wisdom to hold people in bondage to fill their own pockets or ego. Africans, home and abroad need to stand up for themselves, device their own solution to their problems, and not wait for one man of god, government, or any foreign intervention - because "they don't really care about us". Our destiny is in our hands - individual needs to create their own paradise in a lawful way, make their own oasis in the midst of the desert they find themselves.

News of innovation I am reading everyday gladdens my heart. For the first time in a long time, I feel a ray of hope that Africa can emerge out of poverty and backwardness. If they continue to stand up to tyranny, form themselves together to speak out, create their own wealth with what is available, the light at the end of the tunnel will shine brighter.

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...

Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country

  Until Ordinary Nigerians Seize the Power that Belongs to them, There Will Not Be Progress in That Country When I see the shameful drama unfolding in the Senate in Nigeria, I see impunity. When those who are supposedly elected into political offices are abusing the power they hold in trust for the rest of us in daylight, then you know they have no fear of the electorate... The Senate President in Nigeria, Akpabio, forced a motion that obviously failed, down the throat of his colleagues... The motion was to humiliate Senator Natasha and force her to apologize for daring to accuse Akpabio of alleged sexual harassment before she is re-admitted to the senate after serving the unlawful six-month suspension imposed on her. What saddens me the most are the fellow female senators who have either kept quiet or have reprimanded Senator Natasha for speaking out, including the wife of the president, Remi Tinubu, who faced many sexist comments and threats when she was a senator. Remi Tinubu wa...
