War is not the answer

Where are the peacemakers?

War is stupid. War is uncivilized. War is evil.  In the war between Russia and the Ukraine, there will be no winners. War is not the answer. Peace is not the answer too. Of course peace is better, but is not good enough. It is too neutral. The answer is goodwill.  Seek goodwill between adversaries. Instead of war. Russia and the Ukraine should strive to become friends. This is a worthy goal.

Countries are egging them on. Threats are flying. Where are

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Prince Tonye Princewill has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for signing the amended electoral bill into law.

In a statement titled “Electoral bill amendment: We have been vindicated” and circulated to journalists Mr. Princewill said, “If I was to say that I told you so, I would be suggesting I knew for a fact beforehand that the President would sign the bill. What I knew was the President had the interest of N

Are there honest Republicans? If so, how can they stick with a dishonest, racist liar like Donald Trump as their leader. He is blatantly dishonest with absolutely no redeeming qualities. According to the Washington Post, in four years as president, Trump made 30,573 false or misleading claims, which amounts to 21 false statements per day. 

His dishonesty should make him ineligible for the presidency. Do honest Republicans believe everything he says? Do they believe anything he says? If he is the

…says I asked Gov. Wike to address the root causes of illegal refining and to desist from playing politics with it

A frontline Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress APC, in Rivers State, Prince Tonye Princewill has expressed surprise over an innocent and harmless advice he extended to the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike on the burning issue of illegal refineries otherwise known as "Kpofire” and other matters, which the Peoples Democratic Party has capitalized on to cast aspersion on his p

BACK IN THE DAY ECONOMICS WITH MIKE RAMEY

      Let’s get to the lowdown on employment, or as it is better known as ‘getting a job’.

      There are two things that job seekers need to keep in mind about the economy.  Either you have an ‘employer’s’ market (where employers can afford to be a lot more selective about whom they hire for a job), and an ‘employee’s’ market (where employees are in short supply and can not only pick and choose where they work, they can get top dollar for their services)

Ukraine Questions

• If the Ukraine does not join NATO, will Russia invade Ukraine?
• If Ukraine joins NATO will Russia invade Ukraine?
• If Russia invades Ukraine because they join NATO, will Ukraine launch American missiles at Russia?
• If these American missiles strike the Kremlin, will Russia retaliate by launching ICBM’s at America?
• Do you think likely targets of these Russian ICBM’s might include the Pentagon and the military base at Fort Meade?
• If one of these Russian ICBM’s, aimed at Fort Meade, straye

The 29th year of Black Love Day, Feb. 13, 2022, will encourage a global focus on The Creator as “the source” instead of government to get us through these trying times and reconnect the love as self-help within our Black community for Black joy. Black Love Day (BLD) is the 4th commemorated African American Holiday (wholyday) observance of atonement, reconciliation, celebration, and 24-hour demonstration of Black Love through 5 tenets (acts of love) – showing love for the Creator, for Self, for t

February is Black History Month, established in 1926 by Black historian Carter G. Woodson to celebrate the achievements of African Americans who look like me, my family, and to the beautiful melanated-being reading this. The month of February is dedicated to acknowledging their central role in U.S. history. Here are ten ways we all can celebrate Black History Month.

I am so proud of progressives. Progressives is the only group to put morality over all other considerations, like nationalism,  ethnicity, self-interest, political expediency, popularity and mammon.

As I mentioned before, if George Washington had opposed slavery while it was flourishing, he would have been thrown out of office  on his ear.  He was trapped in the evil slavery. In the past similarly progressives were alone in their opposition to atrocities like colonialism, imperialism, Jim Crow, t

Let us take a critical look at the charges against Baltimore City states attorney, Marilyn Mosby:

• The indictment charges Mosby with four counts. One relates to a $40,000 withdrawal Mosby took from her city retirement account in May 2020, citing that she had experienced a financial setback due to the pandemic.
  Bottom line- the $40,000 was all her money
• She lied in order to lower the interest rate when she purchased a vacation home in Kissimmee, Florida, claiming it was a second home when she ha

     I just received the latest copy of my favorite, local business publication in the mail. 

     On the front page—complete with great artwork—was a piece on how vinyl was making such a strong comeback in the record industry that existing processing plants were having a hard time keeping up with the demand of BOTH musical groups—and consumers. 

     Of course, I’m still holding out for a revival of eight-track tapes…but this is a dream deferred for another day.

     Over the last ten or so yea

There is no question that when Baltimore city’s states attorney Marilyn Mosby sought justice for Freddie Gray by going after the police who murdered this innocent black man, a target was placed on her back.  However, she is not the prime target. These contrived charges are relatively minor but are blown way out of proportion deliberately. The timing of these charges raised my suspicion. They came days after  Maryland’s Republican governor, Larry Hogan, launched an unfair criticism about Mosby an

George Washington was the father of our country. He confessed to chopping down the cherry tree because he could not tell a lie. But if he had opposed slavery while it was flourishing, he would have been thrown out of office  on his ear.  He was trapped in the evil slavery.

For over sixty two years, the mighty United States of America has imposed devastating embargo on the poor little island of Cuba. Year after year, the UN General assembly have voted overwhelmingly against this US embargo. The la

Recently I watched Frontline production of “Poor Kids” on PBS TV. Actually, I did not watch the entire show. The plight of poor kids in America, the richest country in the world, was too depressing. It was a disgrace. I had to turn it off.

It made me think of how the Build Back Better bill would help poor kids. Conditions require that this bill deserves unanimous support. The time is overdue for the rich billionaires to step up and help the poor by visibly and vocally supporting this bill. These
