An African adage once said ¨¨A man that swallows the palm kernel seed should consider the hole in his anus¨¨Africa has a very rich heritage, culture and language which I am very proud of, most at times I refer to these adages to guide and retrace my steps when I am going astray. the African adage to me is just like reading the Christian bible daily for guidelines, with such rich cultural heritage

What is happening in the world’s economy is really amazing, I am not an economist or very good with formulas but what I read daily on stock exchange market is catastrophic. The US stock exchange downslide affected Afria,Asia and European countries, everyday one sector is affected beginning from January this year, it began with shares/bonds, banks, housing, manufacturers, producers, in the past

In life a man wants to be acknowledged, prominent, affluent, trendy......etc for Africans in Diaspora there are few or no such opportunities. In Diaspora most Africans are bent on working and taking care of their immediate families and those at home. These attitudes of silence, siddon look don tire some of our educated Africans to the extent of involving themselves by means of rejoinder in their

The Spanish government just began a new phase with the same prime minister who have been heading the government for the past four years, he is to continue for four years making it eight years altogether and I wonder to myself what is the fun in politicking, before the election I watched the opposing party attacking and throwing direct accusation at the president, which reminds me of the little

The wave of Nigerians going back home to settle after receiving their studies abroad has waned Considerably since the 70's, mid 80's. In fact, most of them want to stay here, make money and send it to Niger.Does this mean we've turned our back on our homeland? No! But we can't be blind to the many flaws Nigeria has. Why subject one's self to certain suffering?The job out look is depressing. Even

Good evening my fellow Americans, and those of you from other lands who are pursuing U.S. citizenship legally. Tonight I’ve come to praise immigration, not to bury it.This nation was built through the blood and toil of restless refugees yearning to breathe free. Our canvas has been painted in a thousand shades of humanity. Our national language reverberates with the sweet song of innumerable

Africans in diaspora are a people geographically out of their various places of birth for peculiar reasons raging from tribal conflict,political and economic problems,joblessness etc,etc.Therefore for these reasons do i say that those in diaspora are more fortunate than those at home?generally that is the believe of my people back home.However,in oyinbo mans country Africans,especially the ´¨

New year resolutions is tough business,its not an issue to be taken lightly at all,for someone like me i have stop making resolutions especially at the beginning of the year.Why you may ask?i don't want to sound too righteous but i don't need it anymore,i feel resolutions are oats you take at the beginning of the year to stop sinning and starts doing good(if I'm wrong correct me)as a single

The typical African individual living in any western nation makes an effort to balance his culture with what the foreign society or environment demands. It is a continuous battle trying to adapt to the foreign culture and society while at the same time striving to hold on to the traditional African within the individual. While in the western society, if the typical African insists on being an

Culture is basically the way of life of a people. It is ?the social and religious structures and intellectual and artistic manifestations, etc that characterize a society.? Every group of people has values ? the DO?S and DON?T that are better learned by living with and observing the people of that particular society interacting with one another. Obviously, some behaviors that are acceptable in

For many African parents, raising their children in Diaspora (particularly the U.S) is a very daunting and challenging task. The reasons are many, including the culture of the society, which gives enormous powers to the child. Torn between two cultures, African parents are therefore in a dilemma as to where to raise their children. Those who have the infrastructure and courage to send their
