A Harrowing Experience In Cotonou
Have you read this piece? It is great, it is well-written, sad, yet a microcosm of our great country, Nigeria. Cheers for those who believe that the best way to save a country is to re-brand it.
ENJOY

Saving our brothers
This one got me thinking. Do you remember sometime in 1985 (or thereabout) when Nigerians threw loaves of bread to an Ethiopian soccer team in Lagos in mockery? It was described as a national shame. This essay somehow reminded me of the time.
Why do Western charities always step up to help Africans in difficulty while rich African countries and individuals appear largely unconcerned? This is just a question and not a condemnation. Read this essay and, if you like, help me ask the question aloud. ENJOY.

Africa's elite and the Western media
Have you seen this little piece of mine, titled, "Africa's elite and the Western media"? Thanks to the Pambazuka guys. I think they are doing a nice job out there.
My main argument is that the African elite should discard the useless job of deodorizing the African image in the West. It is a waste of our talents. Rather, we should ask questions that are aimed at bettering the living conditions in our different native countries. If the people in my village, town or country are able to have a decent life, why should they bother about what the Europeans think about them. Who cares anyway.
Supply my people with constant electric, good roads, water, health care, security etc. They will surely take care of the rest.
Well, see the article in its entirety. ENJOY!

African churches denounce children as ‘witches’
Have you read this? Disturbing, very disturbing. Have African intellectuals done enough job at enlightening their people?
Read and pray for Africa if you believe in prayers. Good luck

Prime Minister in Zimbabwe Boycotts Unity Government
Three weeks ago, I gave two interviews to international radio stations on the state of Zimbabwe. In one of the interviews I expressed the hope that Zimbabwe might be on the path to recovery; Morgan Tsvangirai, I said, should be given time to begin to redress the wrongs of the past three decades of Mugabe's reign of darkness. I earnestly prayed that my dear friends in Zimbabwe would finally have a taste of better life. Boy, oh, boy, how mistaken was I, to begin to hope. Wasn't I?
I need not tell you that I was depressed by this New York Times News.
By the way, have you read my novel, The Trial of Robert Mugabe? Enjoy
