in the same sense as there are ‘English’, ‘Welsh’ or ‘French.’ The word ‘Nigerian’ is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not.”
(Path to Nigerian Freedom by Chief Obafemi Awolowo)

Nation-building refers to the process of constructing or structuring a national identity using the power of the state. This process aims at the unification

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.

A Heavenly Thought

September 16, 2010

Raynard Jackson

Everybody wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die. I have been told that the only way to go to heaven without dying is by visiting the beautiful island of the Seychelles (pronounced—say-chells).

It is an island country consisting of 115 smaller (mostly uninhabited) islands. It is located off the east coast of Africa (northeast of Madagascar) in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It has a small population, just over 87,000 people; but is big on hospitality.
