• I dream of the day when these, the African mathematicians and computer specialists in Washington and New York, the African physicists, engineers, doctors, business managers and economists, will return from London and Manchester and Paris and Brussels to add to the African pool of brain power, to enquire into and find solutions to Africa's problems and challenges, to open the African door to the world of knowledge, to elevate Africa's place within the universe of research the information of new knowledge, education and information -Thambo Mbeki, former South African President
  • They therefore concluded that “the findings of this (and other) surveys indicate that coverage of Africa, by the leading sources of American media is, at best, dismissive of the continent’s progress and potential, and thus leading to continued ‘exotification’ and marginalization of the African continent. At worst, coverage disregards recent trends toward democratization, thus betraying an almost contemptuous lack of interest in the potential and progress being achieved on the continent.”

Loving God Always

Loving God always is hard to do, especially when you are mad, angry, disappointed that things aren't going your way. This is the time you can't see Him, leave alone speak to Him face to face. When things are not going right, or according to our timetables, we lose hope and focus, forgetting that God invented time, appointments, decision making, our future plus all that we need.

Personally when i feel like I can't face him, or even talk to him because of the heaviness in my heart, I cry out more and declare 'that Lord I love you...I have loved you ever since, and I'll continue to love you...all the days of my life. "You love me Lord, I love you with all of my heart" and I know everything is going according to your plans, for you are never late, you will show up and it will at the right time"
