I am afraid the United States has become a failed democracy. The most crucial point is that now if Democrats propose legislation which would be tremendous benefit to Americans, the Republicans see that as a disastrous consequence for them, and so will do everything to kill such legislation. Case in point is the current infrastructure legislation proposed. In my estimation, this is the most beneficial legislation for Americans proposed since Social Security and Medicare. It is no surprise that Re

The All Progressives Congress has released the names of judges in the Rivers Judiciary apparently being used to issue 'black market' injunctions against it by desperate politicians in the State.
They are Justice Opufa Ben-Whyte, Justice Okogbule Gbasam, Justice Chiwendu Wogu and Justice Fiberesima.
The APC in a statement signed and issued by its spokesman, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke, in Port Harcourt said that the actions of these judges have largely contributed to the wrong impression across the count
The underrepresentation of African Americans in tech has long been an issue and even today, many tech companies still struggle to address the lack of diversity in their hiring practices. This trend can be traced back as far as the 1970s when California's Bay Area became referred to and known as "Silicon Valley". Tech companies like Hewlett Packard, Xerox, followed by Facebook, Apple, and Google found a home in Northern Cali, yet few knowledgeable, capable Black IT, programmers, coders, and tech
In March 2018, a publication was made and I read of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) where it states clearly the role of media and investigative journalism in combating corruption.
It says the "media and investigative journalism play a crucial role in bringing allegations of corruption to light and fighting against impunity". International consortium of investigative journalists are an example of an international cooperation that leads to tangible results in brin

Advocacy in black race has not really gotten the best of concern, accolades and support. Basically, it is because, maybe, the understanding about it is low or because to most humans in that race, any and everything should be and addressed with the same gloves used in contemporary politics. In other climes, advocacy groups pose as hope lines for the people and society. Advocacy groups speak for the people, put the government in check, make the government accountable t

The people of Ekpeye communities in Rivers have decried the insensitivity of the FG over their plight due to the impact of the 2020 flood in the area.
A retired Civil Servant, Dr. Patricia Wudigha Ogbonnaya narrated how the people of the area have been suffering while the government looks away. She states that the flood which was occasioned by the consistent rainfall destroyed every means of their survival in the area.

Some businesses are 100% Black-owned and operated, like this platform. These brands outright identify as having Black founders and CEOs. Brands I love like Capital City Mambo Sauce, Uncle Ray's Products, and clothes from Black Vibe Tribe or hair care products from Black Naps (Natural and Proud Sistas).
Then some brands are majority-owned. Consider Tristan Walker who sold his multimillion-dollar men's grooming brand Bevel to Procter & Gamble in 2018 yet still remains the company's CEO. Rockstar

White racists hate black people and the knee-jerk reaction is to hate them back. This is the typical reaction that our culture produces. Wait a minute. We are in a very desperate situation and as such knee-jerk reactions should give way to carefully thought-out strategy.
The sad fact is that these racists are nothing but pawns of the notorious 1% that dominate American politics. One percent is a very small number, so how can such a small number dominate American politics? Of course, they have b
One of the main defenses Germans made in their defense of allowing the atrocities committed by Hitler against the Jews is ignorance. “We did not know…..”. Well right now America is committing atrocities worldwide and most Americans know but do not seem to care.
War crimes are being committed without war. It is a war crime for a country to deliberately kill hundreds or thousands of innocent civilians to overcome the enemy. America is killing thousands of innocent men, women and children all over
