How did we get here in America?

The killing of Charlie Kirk is pure evil and an act of cowardice. Instead of debating with his mouth, the shooter chose the coward act of shooting an innocent man dead from 150 yards. No one deserves to die like that...the question Americans should be asking is, how did we get here...?

When those in power use rhetoric that fans an ember of violence, when they turn a blind eye to violence committed by their supporters and open the door of prison for them to re-integrate into our communities. They ignore the state of the people, right and left, while they laugh to the bank as Americans live in penury, fear, and nightmare daily. They tell us we do not matter. They punish dissent with threat of imprisonment and bankruptcy, but friendly voices like those of Charlie Kirk is given the megaphone... when the most powerful seat in the world is used to propagate pure evil and hate... we hear it every day, we wonder why we are seeing this... that same evil and one-sided rhetoric continues in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, where false allegations are being made in vile language that incites more violence without evidence. This is a dishonor to Charlie.

I do not share any of the values that Charlie stood for in his young life. He was a divider, and he spread an ideology that dehumanizes, denies the pains of others, and reduces others to nonentity in the name of MAGA. One thing I credit him for, though, was that he did it with his mouth, not inciting violence, unlike some of the people he supported to power. He was so young with a young family. I feel for his family, and he does not deserve to die in such a tragic way. I pray his family is comforted. I hope the power that be will use this to unite the country and not further divide it.

When you discover the wisdom of the universe, it is as if...

When you locate the wisdom of the universe, it would be as if you have a magic wand... Your prosperity rolls over, you climb to the top faster and leave many behind... Funke Akindele's movie, "A tribe called Judah" remains the highest-grossing movie in Nollywood (Nigeria's movie industry). I saw the movie last week and could not make head or tail of it.. But something was unique about it. It was the first Nigerian movie that cast MANY actors from all the major ethnic groups in the nation.. These are top actors... For so long, Nollywood has been divided along ethnic lines... You have the Yorubas doing their thing, the Igbos doing their own and our brothers in the North, the Hausas doing their own. But this movie cast actors from everywhere, so, it became a must-see for almost all Nigerians ... Funke Akindele is a talented writer, actor, and producer. But she is also a shrewd businesswoman. She located the wisdom in tapping the talent of diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria...

Wannabee Prime Minister that is Denigrating her Native Country... for What?

Omo ale lo maa hun fi owo osi j'uwe ile baba eh - it is a BASTARD child that uses the left hand to describe her father's house.... We should speak honestly about our country, but when you hold a position like Kemi does decorum is essential. She could say the same thing in a way that will not impact the lives of ordinary Nigerians who live and make a honest living across the globe. She is an opposition leader for crying out loud... She is dragging her native country deep into the mud to gain cheap popularity.... She will need the votes of Nigerians if she will ever be Prime Minister one day. Every letter of her words will come back to hunt her... I trust Nigerians in the UK will not only mobilize against her, but they will also mobilize other Africans and Carribeans to shun her...
