In Defense Of The Critic

I rather feel that Paul Adujie hasn’t really been receiving a fair treatment, because some of the attacks on him have been malicious, as if calculated to run the brother out of cyberspace.

Freedom Within A Cage…

For every animal, a trap exists to catch it however big or ferocious it might look. Hence we have lions and other wild animals "domesticated" and held captive in cages and zoos worldwide.
