You can enter any business at any level as long as you bring with it innovation which is the edge and quality service delivery. Never enter any venture without these two things or you will fail sooner than you think...
“No, you can’t!” has, for five centuries, been the life-force of modernity’s negation of black agency. The Obama sign offers a choric, antiphonal negation of an original negation...
I do not know you. You do not know me. In other words, I am writing this letter to you because you have made statements that affect me. You have told lies against a man you knew nothing about. You have dragged his name in the mud...

Very often the media has worked ‘hand in glove’ with politicians, governments, big businesses and religious organisations to shape the thinking of their intended audiences.

The cost and damage brought by drinking of parasite infected water with its borne diseases are very high, which mostly affect new born babies and children. This is a major contributory to the abysmal high infant mortality rate in Africa and Nigeria...
While death may be seen as normal in the evolution of man, the abnormality lies in its permanence, perpetuity and indiscrimination. As many are born daily, many die daily...
