 A CENTURY AFTER,A CONTINENT AND A RACE STILL IN THE BLAME GAME I have seen several videos,statements and takes from Historians,Politicians,Activists,Intellectuals and Academic Dons on colonialism,wars,propaganda,exploitation, espionage and the place or symbolic status of the Queen in all these and I came to the conclusion that sometimes the very knowledge that we seek and the presentation of history can muddle things up.Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Second,was born into a traditional and cultural inheritance,that was foisted or bestowed on her by her lineage or bloodline,she inherited her status and her place in governance is ceremonial and sometimes statutory.Why then should she be vilified and chastised for the sins of her father,forefathers and a system she inherited.Humanity and mankind always has a tendency to seek a rallying point,heroes or a symbol of unity and the Queen whether you like it or not provided that on many levels,staying on the throne for 70 years without an...

DANGEROUS AND SPOOKY BUSINESS!, 😮😮😄😄🤣 Stop depending on salary or palliatives.

If you have like 10 snakes and they give birth to 30  baby snakes each that is money 30 × 10 × 3000 = N900k minimum.You can do this in a small cage.Snakes don't eat too much and they have a good life span.You can also start a snake peppersoup joint in yoyr area and make more money.Who say we no go survive this period? Let us help the government to help us.

As an Uncle,I take the liberty of describing him as shy or a recluse for very personal reasons...could this also be a hint at a remake 👇👇👇 COCKCROW : THE RETURN OF A TRAIL BLAZER  By Dele Olowu The motion picture  has a fairly extended history in nigeria. However in technical and production terms, the first moving image to be shot entirely on location in nigeria, is Peter Igho’s widely applauded tv series, Cockcrow at Dawn. And yet the brief which was to inspire this mass appealing project , was as prosaic as they come. The Obasanjo government had in 1977 become quite committed to the acceleration of food production and national growth.
