Dr. Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem ACTING FOR AFRICANS ON THE WORLD STAGE –TAJUDEEN ABDUL-RAHEEM – A LIFE OF SERVICEIf my memory serves me well, I first met Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem in London, where I was living involuntarily in 1988, whilst working the night shift at Rochelle Laundry, having left Rawling’s Ghana hurriedly. He was then Editor of Africa World Review and a member of The African Information and Research Bureau (ARIB), involved in African community outreach work, especially with refugees, and P

Israeli lobbying must be stopped! Why do we as american tax payers have to fund their genocide? The United States in 2007 provided $30 million dollars A DAY to israel in military and financial support! There have been many attempts to stop AIPAC and other lobbying groups but to no avail because the people trying to stop it are immediately labeled anti-semetic! Why should we send BILLIONS and TRILLIONS of dollars to Israel every year when our own citizens are facing financial hardships! People ar

We Really Must Be Really Scared Now!

Posted by Akintokunbo Adejumo on June 6, 2009 at 5:32am

I am really scared now. My state of mind has gone from “concerned” to “really scared and despondent” now, when it comes to Nigeria. Over the past two weeks, indeed over the past one month, things have really gone from bad to worse for me.I am scared for myself, my family, my people (all Nigerians), Nigeria itself. Please don’t get me wrong, I am not going to let Nigeria kill me. I am just sad and scared because idiots are getting away with murder, literarily. I am scared because I might die outs

In nineteen sixty seven, tanks and armed troops moved past this house towards Grand River and West Grand Blvd and thisI was three years old, that corner was walking distance from both of my family's home and both of my grandmothers' homes at that time.

After all, she's not exactly the type of black super hero that they parade around during Black History Month. This is the type ignorance that some legislators in New Jersey hope will allow them to extradite Shakur back to the US under the cover of our darkness.Assata Shakur (JoAnne Chisemard) was involved in a 1973 shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike that resulted in the deat

Dear Kwasi Greetings Trusting this finds you in good spirits. Few Africans, outside of east Africa have much understanding of the Sudan issues. I met last week the Special Advisor to the Namibia Foreign Minister/President, to discuss Sudan. I noted that his was the standard OAU/AU view, which is determined by the geo-political considerations of east Africa. He knew little, nor cared much in my view, about the situation of Darfurians, yet he partook in the Abuja Talks on peace for Darfur. It
