African Day of the Child: is Africa really taking care of the young?

Nimi Princewill, , ,
In Malawi students from primary schools were just smoked with tear gas a few days ago, and some of them are celebrating their Day in police holding cells.   The people in power who, happen to be the parents of the young are instructing the police to wound and injure the very generation that has its day today – June… Read More

Why We Must Evolve Our Indigenous Greeting Culture

Global Author, ,
There are values Africans hold on to quite strongly, that people who are considered to be of “Advanced Civilization” rarely concern themselves with. One of which, is the slightly weird nature of our indigenous greeting culture.   Greeting is a traditional African trait. In a stiff cultural environment like the African society where one’s character is constantly being examined, greeting… Read More
Knowledge OP-ED Opinions 

Opinion: Our current knowledge will be a lie in the future

Nimi Princewill, ,
Knowledge is an easily acquired unreliable asset! The continuous reliance on whatever portrays an individual as “knowledgeable” can likewise, portray the same individual as clueless and outdated in the long run. Every knowledge is vulnerable to inferiority when a superior knowledge is diligently dug out of it’s mystery. In other words, whatever we currently know and believe to be true,… Read More

Jehovah’s Witnesses Don’t Belong With The Rest Of The World!

Global Author, , ,
The “Good News” as presented by our smooth-talking, modestly dressed and frequent unexpected guests- The Jehovah’s Witnesses, who by the way, always tend to show up at the wrong time, isn’t as particularly exciting as it sounds. Asides the willingness of Witnesses, who are always equipped with materials to engage you in either brief or extensive debates (depending on your… Read More

Male Child Preference And The Evil of Gender-Selective Abortions

Global Author
  Top of the wish list of most ‘expecting’ first-time mums, as required or demanded by their husbands, extended family or society (whether verbally requested or emotionally concealed), is primarily centered on the divine prospects of birthing a male child. However, the eventual arrival of a female child, in some cases, don’t turn out as glorifying as it would, if… Read More
Breast Protest in Uganda OP-ED Opinions 

Fight For Fairness And Justice, But Not Equality!

Global Author, , ,
Let’s begin on the premise that whatever theoretical knowledge we’ve acquired, that affirms the equality of all men, is wrong, fictional and in direct contradiction to the original truth! It’s almost unobtainable to say “All Men Are Equal” and relax in the same sentence, without naturally having a little hunch in your spirit, which tends to agree otherwise… Our academic… Read More

LIVING AS AN ATHEIST IN ZIMBABWE

Global Author, , , ,
Atheists in Zimbabwe are sheep in wolves’ clothing; they face a great deal of prejudice from the religious community and are afraid to come out as who they are.   This is a challenge for the secular community as it has to face a lot of hostility from the fundamental religious community in Zimbabwe. I remember how I invested a… Read More

Zimbabwe: Dangers of an Exclusively Religious Nation

Global Author, , , , , ,
I was born and raised in Zimbabwe and I never got to witness the struggle that brought my country independence. I grew up enchanted by stories of the liberation struggle and as a child, one of my many ambitions was to become a soldier…apart from being a superhero with super powers. Like everyone else born after independence, I was referred… Read More

Trump’s Daunting Foreign Challenges

Global Author, , , , , , , ,
If nothing else, the 2016 elections have once again reaffirmed America’s solid democratic system. Without any major incidents, tens of millions of Americans went to polling stations across the land, voted for the candidate of their choice, and readied themselves, as always, for the peaceful transfer of power. I believe that even those who were deeply disappointed with the results… Read More

Lieberman: Demonstrate Your Credibility

Global Author, , , , ,
I am skeptical of what Israel’s Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman says as I have judged him only by his actions. For the Palestinians, however, to immediately dismiss what he said in an interview with the Palestinian daily al-Quds—that he supports a two-state solution and would lift Israel’s blockade of Gaza if Hamas relinquishes its military stance—is shortsighted and self-destructive at… Read More
