         Africa needs a saviour, a hero.           BASED ON HUMAN  DEVELOPMENT INDEX People's development indexes are based on six fundamental principles, namely - Their theories Their culture Their ideology Their paradigm Their concepts Their history This is what ensures that even after ten thousand years, Chinese remains Chinese, The Indian remains Indian, Arabs remains Arabic, Westerners stay Western... They are, by their culture by their spirituality by their languages by their tradition By their story By their theories By their belief By their concepts and above all by their affiliation to their ancestors to whom they attach and celebrate As for us Africans, in just 500 years, we have become Arabs, Westerners, Chinese, Indians We want to live in everyone's shoes.

Flight Attendant Insults Sundar Pichai of Google in First Class... The Truth Will Shock You.

Image
*Flight Attendant Insults Sundar Pichai in First Class — The Truth Will Shock You!* On a routine flight from San Francisco to New York, the first-class cabin became the stage for an unforgettable lesson in humility. Jessica Thompson, a veteran flight attendant, encountered a seemingly unassuming passenger dressed in jeans and a black T-shirt. Her snap judgment led to the biggest mistake of her career. Little did she know, she was about to insult Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, and learn a powerful lesson about judging others. The morning sun streamed through the large windows of San Francisco International Airport as Jessica Thompson adjusted her perfectly pressed uniform. At 42, she took immense pride in her role as a senior flight attendant, especially in first class. Today’s flight to New York was just another opportunity to uphold the high standard she was known for. Jessica walked through the first-class cabin, meticulously inspecting every detail.

YOU CANNOT GET BY PRAYER WHAT YOU SHOULD GET BY CHARACTER & OBEDIENCE

I don't know who authored this fantastic piece: it's powerful, full of knowledge, wisdom & educative!  Please take time to read it over and over again....  *YOU CANNOT GET BY PRAYER WHAT YOU SHOULD GET BY CHARACTER & OBEDIENCE*  A man’s character is his fate.8 Heraclitus Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States (US), said: “Nothing can stop the man with the *right mental attitude* from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the *wrong mental attitude.” As a clergyman, I have watched pitiably how people self-sabotage themselves by seeking spiritual solutions to character-deficit issues. They look around at everybody as suspects for their predicaments when their greatest demons lurks within them - their character.

Many would begin to argue bac...

Three surprises from our two-week visit to Nigeria By Yusuf Bangura Nyon, Switzerland  3 January, 2025 I’ve been reflecting on three issues since we returned from a two-week trip in Nigeria three weeks ago. Before that visit, I had not been to Nigeria for 14 years. My last visit was in 2010,  even though I lived there for eight full years between 1980 and 1988 and spent a month there with my family at the end of 1999 and early 2000.  Despite my long absence, I tried to keep abreast of developments in the country, thanks to the availability of two leading television channels (Arise News and Channels) on YouTube, and popular newspapers like Premium Times, Daily Trust and This Day, which are available online—apart from my numerous interactions with friends and former students online through WhatsApp and email, and reading good books and articles on the country. But the long absence threw up three big surprises, which those who experience them regularl...
