American democracy is dead. It has become a one-party state, the Democratic Party. The Republican Party has degenerated unto a cult, the cult of Trump. This is a powerful cult which demands total obedience to its evil disreputable leader regardless of what he does. In his own words, “𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙙𝙙𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙝 𝘼𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙪𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙫𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙊𝙆?" I can imagine him saying, “𝙄𝙄 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙎 𝙜𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙅𝙖𝙣𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙮 6, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣

Republicans will flourish as long as people do not care about ethics in politics. As far as I am concerned,  ethics is a primary requirement for a politician. However, for Republicans ethics has been questionable. Since the domination of the Republicans by Trump, ethics is completely irrelevant. For instance, Republicans must go along with the Trump big lie. So when it comes to deciding, it is a choice between ethical Democrats and unethical Republicans.  Make no mistake to be unethical is to be

The primary concerns for Nigerians right now are security and food. It is essential to avoid any actions that could further escalate the already tense atmosphere and adversely affect the poor and vulnerable population in Abuja. Unfortunately, numerous displaced communities from states ravaged by banditry are being relocated to Abuja without sufficient shelter and food. These individuals often gather near road junctions, seeking alms, and later retreat to makeshift shelters. Tragically, young gir

Because of Florida’s “Stand your ground” law, George Zimmerman stalked unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin and eventually shot him to death without suffering legal consequences.  Since then “Stand your ground” attitude has been adopted all over America whether it is legal or mot. Examples are:

THE OBAMA LEGACY UNDER THE BIDEN CLOUD

      You have already heard about the collapse of the Hunter Biden plea deal, and the soon-to-begin Impeachment Inquiry against President Joe Biden because of Bribery (and other) hanky-panky that took place, allegedly, during his tenure as Vice President.  However, the elephant in the room (pardon the pun, since I am a Republican) is what this may do to the legacy of former President Barack Obama.

      Obama has been strangely quiet during this process inv

We have taken time to bring you ten key reasons why Rwanda has to be on your list of places to see not just once, but more than once. It took us 10 days to visit a variety of choice locations and the only reason why we didn’t feel the impact of the hectic schedule was simply because of how amazing each and every one of the experiences were. 

Safest Cities:

The internet is riddled with stories and statistics about why Rwanda is the safest country in Africa and possibly the sixth safest in the worl

Most people hadn’t taken anything more than a lingering notice of Rwanda until 1994 when the genocide that happened there shocked the world. Even then, many ticked a box and marked Rwanda as another place to avoid, in a continent where bad news is more at home than good and tragedy is a staple food in a media predefined diet. I too was in that category. There is so much news to consume; you have to decide what is important and what is not. 

So, for me, it wasn’t until I once casually overheard th

The Patron of Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents ANLCA, chief Henry Njoku says the purported dissolution of the National Executive Committee NECOM of the Association as credited to one Dapo Olawumi who alleged that Alhaji Taiwo Mustapha a self acclaimed ANLCA board of Trustees Chairman has dissolved the NECOM was a ruse, malicious, misleading and inconsistent with ANLCA supreme constitution.

One of the worst consequences of the Trump presidency is that he has lowered the bar so low that Biden can get away  with atrocious foreign policy acts without any political price to pay.
 A few  examples are:

• Sending cluster bombs to Ukraine which are banned by 120 countries (including NATO countries)
• Announcing his intent to nominate Elliott Abrams, a former Trump appointee on Venezuela and Iran, who terrorized Latin America under Ronald Reagan., to the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diploma

The Supreme Court overturn of Roe vs Wade, after fifty years of precedent, and also affirmative action, are just warm-ups for the real target.  I predict the Supreme Court will move to overturn its prime target, the Emancipation Proclamation. The case will be brought by the descendants of slave owners, Of course, the Court will overturn the proclamation. They will rule that President Lincoln did not have the authority and he needed  majority votes from the Congress and the Senate.

Now, descendant

     Of course, we now have a battle between employers and employees about whether to physically return to the office or shop on Mondays.  Before I dig into this, let me unpack a few things.  First, the title of this column refers to a tradition among Pastors and up-and-coming preachers in their churches.  Old Pastors would make their selection of younger ministers for preaching and ministry assignments based upon those who ‘showed up’ for pastoral training and church functions.  A
