SILENCE

 The days are the victims of fate

As euphoria of the “Change” we loved much

Is laid to the cemetery of the nation’s hope

Hanging on the neck of the engulfing silence…

And this silence is the panting of the market women

Gasping for life under the smiling sun,

But only to watch the dancing foots

And the echoing voices of the dead market.

This silence is the drowning tears of Work-Ass

Whose rights are right in their naked eyes

Buried in the ground of deceit and lies

And only to live in borrowed breath – breads.

The silence is the weeping of little children

Craving for happiness in the public streets

Blackened with dust of their daily toil for peanut

But are being rejected to dance to songs of penury

This silence is the agonizing agony of the aged parents

Whose fruits were plunged away unripe

Into the deadly desert of drowning destiny

Left to ponder in the desert of doubts…

This silence is SILENCE

The songs of mocking birds

Success

In

Life

Emerged

Not with

Changes a day; so

Endure.

And this silence is a war

In-between Life and Death….

AFRICA DAY 2017 ORGANIZED BY THE UNIVERSAL PEACE FEDERATION

We are honoured to invite you to attend a celebration of Africa Day 2017. We are happy to share this day with our friends and partners in the event. Africa Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the achievements of a fast growing continent. There are many inspirational examples from nations like Botswana that is relatively free of corruption and has free education and health due to a growing economy based on diamonds. The family culture, (which really means the extended family) that is prevalent throughout Africa. The religosity of African people. The music and foods of different parts of the African continent, which always creates a welcoming atmosphere. The world comes to Africa for minerals and other resources. There is so much more to Africa to learn from and gain inspiration.

UPF International celebrates Africa Day each year. Several times this has been in the Manhattan Centre in New York with the former UN Secretary General, Ban, Ki-Moon. It reflects the partnership between the African Union and UPF. There will be African food, music, cultural wisdom, story-telling and clothes.

Please come and celebrate with us. Kindly register to reserve your place NOW.

My name is Nuhu Lawal: The World Boxing Association, the undefeated Inter-Continent Middleweight Boxing Champion (WBA) and I am glad to be a Goodwill Ambassador to the Diaspora for Nigerian Youths Empowerment Initiative. I am supporting the Youths Empowerment Initiative – Donation/Fundraising for Solar Energy Installer’s Basic Training, ICT Capacity Building & Knowledge Transfer because I think it is time Nigerian professionals and business people both in the Diaspora and in Nigeria take the welfare of Youths in Nigeria very serious by giving back to them what they have lost by action and inaction of most of us. I am very concerned about the increased youth unemployment in Nigeria, radicalism and the pull to European countries for better perspectives. This is resulting in thousands of deaths in the sea and in the desert and any well-meaning Nigeria cannot stand aside and look

Prince Ezem Ihenacho is an Approved Mental Health Professional based in London, a Humanitarian, Broadcaster and the author of Hard Hitting! The real truth about men, marriage & infidelity published in 2010, Your Child, My Child, Whose Child published in 2012 as well as, Humility of the Brain which was published in 2014. He currently is in the process of producing another with more to come.

Watch out for Prince Ihenacho’s new title ‘Our World In Metaphors’ which is ‘Driven by the Truth’ due out in April 2017 and see our world as you have never seen or known it before. In this new book he promises to show his readers the reasons why our world is malfunctioning. He states that, there are three stages of nurturing every human being has to go through in order to become ‘rational.’

Prince Ihenacho writes that, human beings in unison with other animals are born irrational and will remain irrational until the third stage of nurturing takes place. He says that, being rational is not an offering of nature therefore, being rational is not a given.

Prince Ihenacho argues that, human beings merely assume to be rational but the reality he says, is different because; some people only stop at one of the two first stages ‘nurtured to do domestic and self-care tasks’ or ‘nurtured to go through the human designed academic system.’ Others achieve the two but, both stages do not get rid of the animalistic instincts in human beings hence; many believe that a chaotic world is ‘natural’ and there is not much anyone can do about it.
