During the past two weeks I have been asked to be involved in two projects relating to Africa. While dealing with Africa can sometimes be very frustrating, after the past two weeks, I am very high on the future of Africa.
Last month I was asked to help put together the first ever Seychelles Investment Forum in New York. The event was held last week and was a great success. The Seychelles is off the east coast of Africa, surrounded by the Indian Ocean (www.seychell

Dr. Carter G. DuBois was exhausted after pouring all of his energy into an hour long lecture on the colonization of Africa. Out of breath and with sweat pouring down his face, he asked his college freshman class if there were any questions. Nonchalantly smackin' bubble gum, scantily dressed, Lakesia Jackson raised her hand and asked, "Yeah, Doc, can you teach us how to "dougie?"

Separation and Divorce

marriage is for life, but some of us endure only thirty-day wonder

Marvin X on Polygamy and Polyandry
POLYGAMY
Polygamy is for rich men who can maintain more than one woman. But it is notonly financial but mental and spiritual as well. If you cannot practiceequality--and the Qur’an said you cannot--then don’t even try it. Foreven the rich man dealing with the North American African woman can beoverwhelming. This is because we have in the North American African manand woman two of the most hard headed humans God ever created.
