Many Nigerians are puzzled by President Buhari and wonder what his #Change agenda really is. Someone has even gone as far as to say that “Most people are feeling conned, and it's only morning yet.”  Luckily, Buhari’s First Hundred Days now belong to history. So historians can begin to examine it for clues to Buhari’s actual mission and agenda as president, and how he will go about implementing it. This essay is my contribution to that effort.

It is helpful to divide his actions into two groups:

           The world suffered a great loss early Monday morning September 14, 2015 when Edgar "Sonny" Harris made transition to the spirit realm quietly in his sleep. Sonny as he was affectionately known was a born educator and motivator, a math teacher, a school administrator, a c

Hollywood says you can leap tall buildings in a single bound
move faster than the speed of sound
even faster than Usain Bolt
grab live wires not even a jolt
journey thru worm-holes and back
you play the Mexican, the Indian Chief you even play Black
you were in the beginning before there was a beginning
you were Cleopatra, Moses even Gods and Kings
you not only received the ten commandments
you were in the burning bush that gave it
you are the Gods of wind and thunder
you can even breathe under w

Up until April 1982, the spirit and pride of West Indian youth in Britain had usually been best expressed through the immediacy of Reggae music and poetry, not through traditional literary forms, especially not the novel. It was refreshing to read a book that was full and wide in scope and spoke with an authentic voice of and for the Birmingham West Indian community; especially when the author was so young. This first ever Afro-British novel was published with a confidence that black people were

Speaking Engagement

My name is Herman Wainggai, I’m from West Papua living here in the USA as an exiled former political prisoner. I’ve devoted most of my life trying to bring the issues of West Papua to the world through peaceful nonviolent means taught to me by my late uncle Dr. Thom Wainggai who championed ‘nonviolent struggle’ in West Papua against occupying power, Indonesia. He was arrested and charged with “subversion” and later died in jail
under highly suspicious circumstances. I knew he

There are many similarities and differences between the United States culture and the African culture. The idea of culture is complex because there are many variables in technology, language, masculine and feminine relational practices and beliefs, customs and traditions. One major difference between the United States culture and African culture is dealing with uncertainty in everyday life styles. The United States culture has advanced new products and entertainment that encourages people to kno

Listening to conscious black talk radio programs as I often do, I am struck by the frequency with which callers, and occasionally even the guests, make statements about what “we” need to do about some issue of concern to black people. Invariably, actions they call for would require that “we” be organized as a prerequisite to any potential success; thus my question: How do “we” expect to accomplish anything that requires “us” to become

Africans have struggled for freedom since the beginning of their enslavement.  According to Robinson et al. (1987), African Americans have revolted since the beginning of their enslavement, throughout their enslavement, post slavery, and the Jim Crow period; and, efforts continue in present times. One of the latest activist groups is the Black Lives Matter Movement.  When looking at this new movement, there are a number of similarities between it and the Black Power Movement.  I shall examine so

Netanyahu versus Obama

There is no question about it. The Iranian deal pits the Prime Minister of Israel against the president of America. Just who is deciding American foreign policy? The answer should be obvious.  Who does Senator Schumer have allegiance to, Netanyahu or Obama?  Senator Schumer is the new Lieberman. I expect in every instance of a dispute between Obama and Netanyahu, Schumer will side with Netanyahu.

This play explores the impact of the untimely death of Emmett Till and the powerful ripples of change that transformed America but also introduces a y
