Ghana’s first President, Kwame Nkrumah succinctly explained Neo-colonialism in 1965:
The essence of neo-colonialism is that the State which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty. In reality its economic system and thus its political policy is directed from outside. The methods and form of this direction can take various shapes. (Most) often, neo-colonialist control is exercised through economic or monetary means. Control over government policy in the neo-colonial State may be secured by payments towards the cost of running the State, by the provision of civil servants in positions where they can dictate policy, and by monetary control over foreign exchange through the imposition of a banking system controlled by the imperial power.
This description of neo-colonialism still rings true today, with indigenous cultures all over the world experiencing what Nkrumah described in its various forms. Most recently, Chinese neo-colonialists have flowed into indigenous lands, promising to lift us up with their wealth. Their investors, bankers, traders, lenders, developers and charities all promise to improve our lives for the better.
African countries are especially incurring massive debt to Beijing, offering up their land, oil, gas, minerals and other resources as collatoral for every new billion-dollar loan they take out. When they inevitably default on these unsustainable loans, China will seize the collatoral and strip the continent of its natural wealth. Malaysia recently realized the dangers of this debt trap and pulled out of Chinese development deals. Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad warned the world, “there is a new version of Colonialism happening.”

The New York African Film Festival Returns For 31st Year
Tumblr media
Film at Lincoln Center and African Film Festival have announced the lineup for the 31st New York African Film Festival. The festival's mission is to feature filmmakers from the African diaspora. This year's theme is the Convergence Of Time and it explores the intersection of historical and contemporary roles played by individuals representing Africa and its diaspora in art. More than 50 films from more than 25 countries invite the audience to look at the meeting of past and current experimentalism transcending space and time. 
The festival's opening night showcases the North American premiere of Over The Bridge, Tolu Ajayi’s feature about corruption in Lagos as Folarin, a successful investment banker whose company is contracted by the government to oversee a high-profile project, searches for answers when the project goes awry, which leads him to a remote fishing village to put the pieces of the mystery together.
The Closing Night selection features the New York premiere of Dibakar Das Roy’s riveting and uproarious Dilli Dark, which shows the boundaries Nigerian MBA candidate Michael Okeke will push to succeed as he lives a double life as a student and drug dealer amidst the backdrop of India’s history of colonialism, racism, and xenophobia.
The festival will also host the North American premieres of Matthew Leutwyler’s Fight Like a Girl, depicting the true story of a young Congolese woman (Ama Qamata from the hit Netflix series Blood and Water) who finds liberation after joining an all-women’s boxing club in Goma, led by an ex-child-soldier coach; and Oyiza Adaba’s biographical documentary DELA: The Making of El Anatsui, which delves into the life of El Anatsui, the world-renowned sculptor from Ghana, and triumphantly acknowledges the importance of Africa’s rich artistic and cultural heritage.
Three festival features are U.S. premieres: Yajaira De La Espada’s documentary Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense, showcasing the life and empowering legacy of the founding father of Tanzania, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, and the recent presidency of Dr. John Pombe Magufuli; Clive Will’s Time Spent with Cats Is Never Wasted, a stark piece of slow-burning cinema featuring a small-town worker who finds success after selling a helicopter he made out of scrap and found objects, while having to fight off the local townsfolk who insist on a cut of the profits; and Perivi Katjavivi’s Under the Hanging Tree, a hard-boiled crime thriller following police officer Christina, as she seeks to uncover details of a murder on a German-owned farm in present-day Namibia, set against echoes of the country’s history of genocide.
Five features making their New York debut are: Damien Hauser’s After the Long Rains, a touching account of 10-year-old Aisha, who longs to become a fisher so she can travel to Europe, and befriends an alcoholic fisherman who promises to teach her; Uche Aguh’s musical romance Dynamite, which finds musician Kiki in an unhappy marriage with her husband/manager and beginning a whirlwind romance with a replacement bassist in her band; Osvalde Lewat’s documentary MK: Mandela’s Secret Army, the little-known story of the military avant-garde founded by global icon Nelson Mandela, screening for the 30th anniversary of South African Freedom Day; This Is Lagos, Kenneth Gyang’s dark comedy featuring aspiring rapper Stevo navigating the dangers of his criminal past after an escape from a heist goes wrong; and The Rhythm and the Blues, the true-life story of legendary bluesman Eddie Taylor and his fight against obscurity, industry corruption, and cultural appropriation, starring actor and musician Leon.
An exciting addition to this year’s festival is La Chapelle, Jean-Michel Tchissoukou’s surreal take on the relationship between Africa, Christianity, and colonialism. A classic feature shot in 1980s Congo, this enchantingly bizarre and bitingly funny satire leaves one questioning the relevance of space and time. 
Among many shorts premiering at NYAFF, not to be missed is Harold George’s Making Men. In a first for NYAFF, the screening of George’s film will be accompanied by a live dance performance from George and members of his dance troupe, as well as a discussion afterwards. A brilliant question of masculinity, visually probed via imagery of traditional customs, the film supplies modern questions with ancestral answers. Another, Love Taps, directed by Derrick Woodyard and executive produced by Spike Lee, offers another comment on masculinity, secrets, and family ties.
NYAFF will present an “Art & Activism” Town Hall at The Africa Center on Thursday, May 2, at 6:00pm, featuring artists Christian Nyampeta, Adama Delphine Fawundu, and Taiwo Aloba, moderated by cultural anthropologist, curator, and scholar Paulette Young.
This year’s Master Class presented by AFF will feature veteran independent filmmaker Ngozi Onwurah, who will discuss the craft of utilizing cinema as a tool for unmasking the dynamics of the socioeconomic status quo. The event takes place in the Amphitheater at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center with tickets available through africanfilmny.org.
“A litany for past suns labeled rituals / A star lit any and all possible futures,” a digital art exhibit of the work of Zainab Aliyu, will run in the Amphitheater at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center May 9–14 beginning 30 minutes before the first NYAFF screening of the day. The exhibit is inspired by Nikki Giovanni’s “A Litany for Peppe” (1970) and Audre Lorde’s “A Litany for Survival” (1978), two poems written years apart, yet converging thematically through time. As the title suggests, the piece is structured as a litany, a repetitive and rhythmic form often used in ceremonial settings. In this context, Aliyu’s litany serves as a call to action for her communities to alchemize their shared histories toward shared futures.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, April 11 at noon ET. Ticket prices are $17 for the general public; $14 for students, seniors, and persons with disabilities; and $12 for FLC Members. See more and save with a 3+ Film Package ($15 for general public; $12 for students, seniors (62+), and persons with disabilities; and $10 for FLC Members), the $99 All-Access Pass, or the $79 Student All-Access Pass. Contact [email protected] for information about attending the Opening Night Party.
The festival continues at Maysles Documentary Center in Harlem from April 17 to 19 and culminates at Brooklyn Academy of Music under the name Film Africa from May 24 to May 30 during Dance Africa.
The programs of AFF are made possible by the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, New York Community Trust, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, Bradley Family Foundation, Domenico Paulon Foundation, NYC & Company, French Cultural Services, Manhattan Portage, Black Hawk Imports, Essentia Water, South African Consulate General, National Film and Video Foundation, and Motion Picture Enterprises.

The Top Twenty Books I Read in 2019
My main takeaways from the past year’s reading:
Sometimes you think something is happening because of magic, but then it turns out to have a non-magical explanation so weird that you find yourself saying, “You know what? I wish faeries or God were responsible for this. I’d honestly feel less disturbed.”
Stop bathing and changing your clothes and shaving for three years, three months, and three days. You’ll find out who your real friends are. I promise you that.
I want more books about bisexual ladies!!! Give them to me!!!
Anyway...
20. The Prodigal Duke by Theresa Romain (2017)
Childhood sweethearts Poppy Hayworth and Leo Billingsley were separated when his older brother, a duke, sent him away to make his fortune. Years later, the duke is dead, a financially successful Leo has come back to England to take his place, and Poppy has become a rope dancer at Vauxhall Gardens after a life-shattering event. New sparks are flying between them, but is love possible when so much else has changed? Leo and Poppy are believable and charming as old friends, Romain makes great use of obscure historical details from the oft-depicted Regency period, and I loved Leo’s difficult but caring elderly uncle.
19. Simple Jess by Pamela Morsi (1996)
Althea Winsloe, a young widow in 1900s Arkansas, has no interest in remarrying, but almost everyone in her small Ozarks community is pressuring her to remarry, and she still needs someone to help farm her land. Enter Jesse Best, a strong young man with cognitive disabilities who’s happy to take on the work. As he makes improvements to her farm and bonds with her three-year-old son, Althea gets to know him better and starts to see him in a new light. This earthy romance could’ve been a disaster, but instead it illustrates how people with disabilities are often...uh...simplified and de-sexualized in a way that denies them autonomy. Morsi has a similarly nuanced take on Althea and Jesse’s community, which is claustrophobic and supportive all at once.
18. Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli (2018)
Outspoken and insecure, bisexual high school senior Leah Burke is having a tough year. Her friend group is in turmoil, her single mom is seriously dating someone, and she’s caught between a sweet boy she’s not sure about and a pretty, perfect straight girl who couldn’t possibly be into her...right??? The sequel to the very cute Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Leah on the Offbeat pulls a The Godfather: Part II with its messy protagonist, sweetly surprising romance, and masterful comic set piece involving the Atlanta American Girl Doll restaurant.
17. Copper Sun by Sharon M. Draper (2006)
Kidnapped from her home in eighteenth-century Ghana, fifteen-year-old Amari is sold into slavery and winds up on a South Carolina plantation, where she faces terrible cruelty but finds friends in an enslaved cook, her little son, and eventually a sulky white indentured servant around her age. When their master escalates his already-atrocious behavior, the three young people flee south to the Spanish Fort Mose in search of freedom. Draper’s complicated characters, vivid descriptions, and deft handling of heavy subjects makes for top-notch historical YA fiction.
16. A Prince on Paper by Alyssa Cole (2019)
After her controlling politician father was jailed for poisoning a bunch of people in their small, prosperous African country, Nya Jerami gained unprecedented freedom but also became the subject of vicious gossip. Johan von Braustein, the hard-partying stepson of a European monarch, wants to help her, partly because he sympathizes and partly because he has a crush, but she thinks he’s too frivolous and horny (if wildly attractive). After an embarrassing misunderstanding compels them to enter a fake engagement, though, she begins to wonder if there’s more to him. I’m not a huge fan of contemporary romance, but this novel has the perfect combination of heartfelt emotion, delicious melodrama, and adorable fluff. 
15. One Perfect Rose by Mary Jo Putney (1997)
Stephen, the Duke of Ashburton, has always done the proper and responsible thing, but that all changes when he learns that he’s terminally ill. Wandering the countryside in the guise of an ordinary gentleman, he ends up joining an acting troupe and falling in love with Rosalind, the sensible adopted daughter of the two lead actors. Like another Regency romance on this list, this novel celebrates love in many forms: there’s the love story between Stephen and Rosalind, yes, but there’s also Rosalind’s loving relationship with her adopted family, the new bonds she forms with her long-lost blood relatives, the way her two families embrace the increasingly frightened Stephen, and the healing rifts between Stephen and his well-meaning but distant siblings. Stephen’s reconciliation with his mortality is also moving.
14. My One and Only Duke by Grace Burrowes (2018)
Facing a death sentence in Newgate, footman-turned-prosperous banker Quinton Wentworth decides to do one last good thing: marry Jane McGowan, a poor pregnant widow, so she and the baby will be financially set. Then he receives a pardon and a dukedom at the literal last minute, meaning that he and Jane have a more permanent arrangement than either intended. I fell in love with the kind-but-difficult protagonists almost at once, and with Burrowes’s gorgeous prose even faster. 
13. Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell (2013)
It’s 1986, and comics-loving, post-punk-listening, half-Korean Park and bright, weird, constantly bullied Eleanor are just trying to get through high school in their rough Omaha neighborhood. He’s only grudgingly willing to let her share his bus seat at first, but this barely civil acquaintance slowly thaws into friendship and blossoms into love. Far from being the whimsical eighties-nostalgia-fest I expected, this is a bittersweet love story about two isolated young people who find love, belonging, and a chance for self-expression with each other in an often-hostile environment (a small miracle pre-Internet).
12. Shrill by Lindy West (2016)
In this memoir, Lindy West talks about the difficulties of being a fat woman, the thankless task of being vocally less-than-enthused about rape jokes, the joys of moving past self-doubt, and the very real possibility that Little John from Disney’s Robin Hood was played by “bear actor” Baloo, among other subjects. I was having a hard time during my last semester of law school this past spring, and this book’s giddy humor and inspiring messages really helped me in my hour of need.
11. Seduction: Sex, Lies, and Stardom in Howard Hughes's Hollywood by Karina Longworth (2018)
In 1925, very young businessman Howard Hughes breezed into Hollywood with nothing but tons of family wealth, a soon-to-be-divorced wife, and a simple dream: make movies about fast planes and big bosoms. He got increasingly weird and reactionary over the next thirty years, then retired from public life. More a history of 1920s-1950s Hollywood than a biography, this book has the same sharp writing and in-depth film analysis that makes me love Longworth’s podcast You Must Remember This.
10. The Beguiled by Thomas Cullinan (1966)
In Civil-War-era Virginia, iron-willed Martha Farnsworth and her nervous younger sister try to run their nearly empty girls’ boarding school within earshot of a battlefield. When one girl finds Union soldier John McBurney injured in the woods, she brings him back to the house, where he exploits every conflict and secret among the eight girls and women (five students, two sisters, and one enslaved cook). Charming and manipulative, he nevertheless finds himself in over his head. Cullinan makes great use of the eight POVs and the deliciously claustrophobic setting; it’s fascinating to watch the power dynamics and allegiances shift from scene to scene.
9. A Gentleman Never Keeps Score by Cat Sebastian (2018)
Reserved tavern keeper Sam Fox wants to help out his brother’s sweetheart by finding and destroying a nude portrait she once sat for; disgraced gentleman Hartley Sedgwick isn’t sure what he wants after having his life ruined twice over, but he happened to inherit his house from the man who commissioned the painting...plus he’s not exactly reluctant to assist kind, handsome Sam in his quest. I wrote about this heart-melting romance two times last year; suffice it to say that it’s not only one of the best Regencies I’ve ever read, but also possibly the best romance I’ve ever read about the creation of a found family.
8. Frog Music by Emma Donoghue (2014)
Blanche Beunon, a French-born burlesque dancer in 1876 San Francisco, has a lot going on: her mooching boyfriend has turned on her, her sick baby is missing, and her cross-dressing, frog-hunting friend Jenny Bonnet was just shot dead right next to her. In the middle of a heat wave, a smallpox epidemic, and a little bit of mob violence, she must locate her son and solve Jenny’s murder. This is a glorious work of historical fiction; you can see, hear, smell, and feel the chaotic world of 1870s San Francisco, plus Blanche’s character arc is amazing.
7. The Patrick Melrose novels (Never Mind, Bad News, Some Hope, Mother’s Milk, and At Last) by Edward St. Aubyn (1992, 1992, 1994, 2005, and 2012, respectively)
Born to an embittered English aristocrat and an idealistic American heiress, Patrick Melrose lives through his father’s sadistic abuse and his mother’s willful blindness (Never Mind),  does a truly staggering amount of drugs in early adulthood (Bad News), and makes a good-faith effort at leading a normal life (Some Hope). Years later, the life he’s built with his wife and two sons is threatened by his alcoholism and reemerging resentment of his mother (Mother’s Milk), but there may be a chance to salvage something (At Last). Despite the suffering and cruelty on display, these novels were the farthest thing from a dismaying experience, thanks to the sharp characterization, grim humor, and great sense of setting. Also, I love little Robert Melrose, an anxious eldest child after my own heart. 
6. The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope (1974)
In 1550s England, no-nonsense Kate Sutton is exiled to the Perilous Gard, a remote castle occupied by suspicious characters, including the lord’s guilt-ridden younger brother Christopher. Troubled by the holes she sees in the story of the tragedy that haunts him, she does some problem-solving and ends up in a world of weird shit. Cleverly plotted, deliciously spooky, and featuring an all-time-great heroine, this book was an absolute treat. The beautiful Richard Cuffari illustrations in my edition didn’t hurt, either.
5. An Unconditional Freedom by Alyssa Cole (2019)
Daniel Cumberland, a free black man from New England traumatized from being sold into slavery, and Janeta Sanchez, a mixed-race Cuban-Floridian lady from a white Confederate family, have been sent on a mission to the Deep South by the Loyal League, a pro-Union spy organization. Initially hostile to everyone (but particularly to somewhat naive Janeta), Daniel warms to his colleague, but will her secrets, his shattered faith in justice, and the various dangers they face prevent them from falling in love? Nah. Alyssa Cole’s historical romances deliver both on the history and the romance, and this is one of her strongest entries.
4. The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite (2019)
Heartbroken by the death of her father and the marriage of her ex-girlfriend, Lucy Muchelney decides she needs a change of scenery and takes a live-in position translating a French astronomy text for Catherine St. Day, the recently widowed Countess of Moth. Catherine, used to putting her interests on hold for an uncaring spouse, is intrigued by this awkward, independent lady. I’ve read f/f romances before, but this sparkling Regency was the first to really blow me away with its fun banter, neat historical details, and perfect sexual tension.
3. The Wager by Donna Jo Napoli (2010)
After losing his entire fortune to a tidal wave, Sicilian nineteen-year-old Don Giovanni de la Fortuna sinks into poverty and near-starvation. Then Devil makes him an offer: all the money he wants for as long as he lives if he doesn’t bathe, cut his hair, shave, or change his clothes for three years, three months, and three days. This fairy-tale retelling is an extraordinarily moving fable about someone who learns to acknowledge his own suffering, recognize it in others, and extend compassion to all. 
2. Vampires in the Lemon Grove by Karen Russell (2013)
In this collection, Russell weaves strange tales of silkworm-women hybrids in Japan, seagulls who collect objects from the past and future, and, yes, vampires in the lemon grove. She also posits the very important question: “What if most (but not all) U.S. presidents were reincarnated as horses in the same stable and had a lot of drama going on?” My favorite stories were “Proving Up” (about a nineteenth-century Nebraska boy who encounters death and horror on the prairie), “The Graveless Doll of Eric Mutis” (about a disadvantaged high school student who discovers an effigy of the even more hapless boy he tormented), and “The Barn at the End of the Term” (the horse-president story). 
1. The Wonder by Emma Donoghue (2016)
Lib Wright, an Englishwoman who has floundered since her days working for Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War, is hired to observe Anna O’Donnell, an eleven-year-old Irish girl famous for not eating for four straight months. With a jaundiced attitude towards the Irish and Catholicism, Lib is confident that she’ll quickly expose Anna as a fraud, but she finds herself liking the girl and getting increasingly drawn into the disturbing mystery of her fast. Like The Perilous Gard, this novel masterfully plays with the possibility of the supernatural, then introduces a technically mundane explanation that’s somehow much more eerie. Donoghue balances the horror and waste that surrounds Anna, though, with the clear, bright prose and the moving relationship that develops between her and Lib, who grows beyond her narrow-mindedness and emotional numbness. I stayed up half the night to finish this novel, which cemented Emma Donoghue’s status as my new favorite author.

An Inspiring Book To Will Help Young People Overcome Fear Is Out
A new book that will help young people overcome fear is now available. Overcoming Fear: An Essential Guide for The Audacious Young Adult by Prince Aryee was written to help young adults navigate through their fear. The book, which is coming at a time when the world is facing an unprecedented health crisis, aims at equipping young people with tools that will help them conquer their fears and face the world confidently.
The effects of COVID-19 have been devastating. It has not only impacted the world economically but also people’s mental health. Young people have not been spared; the pandemic has shaped the minds of many young adults to believe in false conclusions and feel uncertain about their futures. Prince Aryee wants to change this through his book. “It’s time for everyone to look fear in the eye and defeat it!” writes Prince Aryee.
In the book, the author warns young people against complacency. He urges them to keep their focus on things that can change their lives positively. Prince Aryee, who is also a motivational speaker, sees ignorance as one of our worst enemies, as it can lead to making unwise decisions. On the other hand, he views knowledge as instrumental in helping the youth make wise decisions. That is why he urges them to do all possible to ensure they get as much of it as possible.
He goes on to advise youngsters not to use ignorance as an excuse: “Ignorance isn’t an excuse to make unwise decisions.” Prince Aryee added that a focused mind accomplishes anything one sets on. The writer also asks a pertinent question, “Have you ever wondered why you always set goals but never accomplish them?” He answers this question with his insight into what a focused mind can accomplish.
Prince is working toward bringing more awareness to the book and getting more public speaking opportunities so that he can share the tips in the book with the world, “It’s simply because the lenses of your future have been distorted by things that aren’t worthy enough to be there.”
He points out that young people lose focus when they concentrate on things that are not worth their attention. Spending too much on things and activities that are not geared towards shaping a bright future is the reason why they lose focus. Prince Aryee advises young people to set some goals in their lives and channel all their energies towards fulfilling those goals.
According to the author, what a young person engages in today will have an impact on how their lives will turn out tomorrow. He refutes the long-held belief that the future is guaranteed. Instead, he holds an opinion that when today is wasted, that future that some regard as guaranteed will not just happen—it has to be shaped today by doing the right thing, achieving the goals set, and gearing every effort toward making tomorrow better.

Min. ERNEST AMEWUGAH Ghana
Am Really Glad to come your way to Misnister the Word of God.
TODAY I WANT TO SHARE A REVELATION OF A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE THAT I READ AND WANT TO SHARE SOME FEW THINGS WITH YOU
PLEASE READ THE REVELATION AND BE BLESS WITH THE FEW THINGS GOD HAS INSPIRED ME TO SHARE WITH YOU.
This Is a Revelation. Read it and be blessed. There are some key points I will note out for us to biblically Learn.
Please if you are hear I encourage you to believe in Dreams, Visions, and Revelation.
Take Note of this Scripture
Rev 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon his head, and his face [was] as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
Rev 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and [his] left [foot] on the earth,
Rev 10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
Rev 10:4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
This Visions, and people who have had near death experience are what the Lord has kept for this End time to be revealed to the church.
Let's not overlooked them when we hear them. But rather receive the message for our Blessing.
BIBLICAL LESSONS FROM THE REVELATION.
1. ETERNITY
There is Life after this Present Life we living Now. Death is the transition to Eternity. John, the Baptist lived 30yrs; Our Savior Jesus Christ Lived 33yrs; Job lived to 140yrs. All of these people died into transition. As to whether you will live 30, 40, 55, 70, 85, or 100. It is Not how many yrs you live on Earth that matters. But how you have lived to get you a better place in the After life(Eternity). Psalm 89:48 says "Who can live and not see Death"
So please let's stop having our hopes focus on this Life only as we serve Jesus lest we weary of the After Life. But let your present life assure you of a better place tomorrow.
Your hope to buy a car, build a house, marry and have Children, become a Minister, Banker or a President will become useless in Christ if you miss Heaven. Those who miss Heaven can not miss Hell. So live the best life for Jesus worthy of Eternal Life.
1Corinthian 15:19
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable(Useless)
May God Help Us All to Have Great Hopes for The After Life(Eternity) as we walk with Jesus. SECOND BIBLICAL LESSON FROM THE REVELATION
2. NARROW WAY OR BROAD WAY
Life is a Journey. Everybody is traveling on it own path. Yet being a Christian. We are only given the option to choose from only two. The Narrow Road or the Broad Road.
Matthew 7:13-14
Broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many finds it. But Narrow is the way that leads to Eternal Life and only Few finds it.
• Broad Road
Traveling On the broad Road has large number of people, which can be countless because there is availability of space to receive more. Why because the Broadway gives you many luxuries of Life.
Luxuries such as...
- You do as it pleases you to do.
It is a road that is not Govern by terms and Conditions from God's word. Your life is chance on doing whatever it feels of doing. Nothing Questions you on why this nor that.
There is nothing like consideration from the word of God. Because everything done on the Broadway serves your consience right.
Proverbs 16:25 says ... "There is a way(road) that seems right to a man but the end is a way of destruction.
You might be happy on that road but remember, Doom awaits the end to the road.
• Narrow Road
This is a road that has only few people. Few people because it comes with determination and focus traveling on the road. (Luke 13:24) Is a road that needs total obedience to God's word. On the Narrow road; people have no choice on their own as to what they feel to do and how their conscience sets them right, because Jesus is Leading the Way.
John 14:6 "Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Hence, Which of this Two Road are you traveling on in life. The one with total obedience to the word. Or the one with Partial obedience that makes you feel of doing what your mind sets you right to do.
Deuteronomy 30:15 The Choice is your Heaven and Hell. Life and Death.
• CHOOSE LIFE TODAY& WALK ON THE NARROW WAY.
I will like to End Hear and Continue when God tarries with another opportunity.
Let's Pray: Father Thank you for this Great opportunity. Bless your people through this word. May our life be impacted through the help of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Name. Amen and Amen

Playlist
“Mrs. Robinson” by Simon and Garfunkel (Easy Riders, Raging Bulls)
“Gone to Oregon” from The Trail to Oregon! (St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves)
“Fly Me to the Moon” by Julie London (The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics)
“Father and Son” by Cat Stevens (Leah on the Offbeat)

“Lucky Now” by Ryan Adams (The Prodigal Duke)
Best of the Bi-Month
The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite (2019): With her ex-girlfriend just married to a man and her wastrel brother threatening to sell her telescope, Lucy Muchelney takes up Catherine St. Day, the recently widowed Countess of Moth, on an offer to translate a French astronomy text. Instead of the simple job she expected, Lucy finds a staunch (and distressingly attractive) ally in Catherine, as well as a path to success and notoriety. This Regency is the historical f/f romance I’ve always dreamed of: charming, funny, moving, well-plotted, and sensual. Also, because Catherine is bisexual, it truly is the best of the BI-month, LOL.
Worst of the Bi-Month
Easy Riders, Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind (1998): Biskind chronicles the rise and fall of the American New Wave in Hollywood, starting with the release of The Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde in the late sixties, and ending with the last gasps of the early 1980s. This book was just miserable to read, mostly because of Biskind’s embarrassingly disorganized style. He jumps around from subject to subject with no transitions, sometimes within a single paragraph. Instead of finding consistent ways to identify his subjects, he’ll let you spend half a paragraph trying to figure out whether he’s talking about Robert Altman, Robert Towne, or Robert Evans. He also has a nasty way of talking about women, inviting you to boo at the misogyny of various directors, writers, actors, and producers while downplaying the talent and basic humanity of the women involved. 
Rest of the Bi-Month
Frog Music by Emma Donoghue (2014): In 1876 San Francisco, French-born burlesque dancer Blanche Beunon loses her friend Jenny Bonnet, a cross-dressing frog-catcher, to an unknown gunman. The next few days find her racing around the city, trying to solve Jenny’s murder, recover her missing baby, avoid her vengeful (possibly murderous) ex and his sort-of boyfriend, and not get killed by smallpox or angry mobs. A series of flashbacks also show her budding friendship with Jenny and crumbling relationship with her former-trapeze-artist lover. This is a wonder of historical fiction, incredibly vibrant and operatic in scale. Blanche is a beautifully complicated heroine, and the real-life-based Jenny is amazing, too.
My One and Only Duke by Grace Burrowes (2018): Framed for murder and facing a hanging in Newgate, footman-turned-banker Quinton Wentworth performs one last good deed: marrying Jane McGowan, a poor pregnant widow, so she and her unborn child can live on part of his fortune. Then he gets a last-minute pardon and learns that he’s inherited a dukedom, making the wife he barely knows a duchess. Plus, the person who framed him is very much still trying to ruin his life. This Regency winningly combines an enjoyably high-concept plot with a pair of protagonists who are endlessly kind and supportive to each other. The historical details, especially the descriptions of Newgate, are also fun. (My edition also came with a Georgian-set novella by Elizabeth Hoyt, Once Upon a Christmas Eve, which was cute but not remarkable.)
Copper Sun by Sharon M. Draper (2006): In the mid-eighteenth century, Amari, a fifteen-year-old girl in Ghana, is kidnapped from her home and sold into slavery in South Carolina. She finds allies in a kind enslaved cook, her sweet little boy, and even a sullen white indentured servant girl, but the cruelty of her owners proves bottomless, eventually forcing her and her new friends to flee to possible freedom in Florida. Draper offers a powerful story about survival in the face of great physical danger and crushing psychological trauma, as well as a thorough yet easy-to-understand examination of the social structure of the colonial South. The evolution of Polly, the self-centered and resentful indentured servant, is also fascinating. 
Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli (2018): High school senior Leah Burke keeps her non-anger feelings to herself and hides her vulnerabilities with sarcastic humor, a strategy that proves increasingly ineffective as her friend group implodes and she finds herself falling in love with an (apparently!) straight golden-girl classmate. I read the first book in this universe, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, earlier this summer, and I found it utterly charming. Leah, however, hit home. Deeply insecure, principled to the point of judgmental harshness, and anxious about everything from her body to her mom’s finances, Leah reminded me a lot of my high-school self, and it was moving to see her adjust her perspective. I was also a fool and did not see the Abby romance coming, much to my delight.
The Prodigal Duke by Theresa Romain (2017): Years ago, Leo Billingsley left home to make his fortune at the request of his titled older brother, leaving his childhood friend Poppy Hayworth behind. Now that his brother is dead, he’s come to take responsibility for the dukedom, but his judgmental elderly uncle is making that difficult because it’s 1815 and he doesn’t get that Leo is doing his best to work around what we would now call ADHD. Leo goes to Poppy for help gaining his uncle’s support, only to find that she’s dealing with her own problems by working as a rope dancer at Vauxhall Gardens. This is an adorable romance; Poppy and Leo have a great old-friends dynamic, sharing inside jokes and easily emphasizing with each other’s predicaments. Romain makes great use of quirky historical details, too.
Labyrinth by Alex Beecroft (2016): Kikeru, the child of a priestess at the Temple of Knossos, is being pressured to choose between marrying a woman (as a man) and becoming a celibate priestess (as a woman). Kikeru doesn’t want to do either of those things; they just want to invent stuff, find love with a dude, and be nonbinary. Rusa, a merchant captain and a total DILF, appreciates Kikeru for who they are, but will society let them be together? Also, the mainland Greeks have plans to attack the temple, so that’s a whole thing. Beecroft’s reconstruction of Ancient Crete is fun and creative, reminding me of my childhood fascination with D’Aulaires’ Book of Greek Myths. The romance between Kikeru and Rusa is endearing, plus I liked Kikeru’s relationship with their overbearing but well-meaning mom and Rusa’s relationship with his daring pregnant daughter.
Girl Reporter Blows Lid Off Town! by Linda Ellerbee (2000): Small-town sixth-grader Casey Smith has big dreams of being a journalist, so she’s crushed to find out that her middle school’s newspaper has been defunct for years. When she proposes a revival to her English teacher, she learns that peppy type-A Megan O’Connor has beaten her to the punch. A war for the editor-in-chief position ensues, but Casey also has to help recruit other staff and write an exposé on pollution at the local paper mill. This book is the first in the eight-book Get Real series, which absolutely should’ve been wronger. Ellerbee, a pioneering journalist, also writes one hell of a series debut. Casey, insecure and loud-mouthed and a total loose cannon, is a great protagonist, like a perfect combination of Liz Lemon and Leslie Knope. Megan is a worthy opponent, whose perky demeanor belies a core of steel and a lot of professionalism. The other staff--spacey cartoonist Ringo, intellectual sports writer Gary, and prickly photographer Toni--are also amazingly well-rounded, given the brevity of the novel. The style is pretty dated--it’s practically written in gel pen in a Limited Too diary--but that has its charms.
The Art of the English Murder by Lucy Worsley (2013): Worsley details the evolution of British crime fiction throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, starting with the growing fascination with real-life murders in the 1800′s and ending with the decline of genteel detective fiction. I’ve had not-great experiences with Worsley, but this is an enjoyable, if not particularly deep overview.
The Crimson Outlaw by Alex Beecroft (2013): After angering his boyar father and suffering harsh punishment, callow young Vali Florescu flees his home and hides among the local peasants. While there, he makes the acquaintance of Mihai Roscat, a dispossessed warrior who now lives as the Crimson Outlaw. Once he realizes that his father is an even worse ruler than he is a parent, Vali enlists the help of Mihai to overthrow him. This is a pretty but rather slight novella with a unique setting (1720s Romania). 
Project Duchess by Sabrina Jeffries (2019): Fletcher Pryde, the Duke of Greycourt, returns home for his stepfather’s funeral. It’s an already-stressful occasion, thanks to his loving but strained relationships with his mother and step-siblings, but then his stepbrother shares his suspicions that the standoffish war-veteran gamekeeper, a distant cousin, was responsible for the death. Fletcher is tasked with getting to know Beatrice, the gamekeeper’s sister, to see if she knows anything. Worried for her brother and burdened with her own secrets, Beatrice is as wary of Fletcher as he is of her, yet they have a connection. This is a cute, readable little Regency that never quite lives up to its premise, although I liked both protagonists a lot.
St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves by Karen Russell (2006): In this collection of short stories, we hear from teenage boys who have “prophetic” dreams about historical tragedies, girls living in abandoned gator-wrestling theme parks, and the marital difficulties of old-timey Minotaurs who marry human women. I was prepared to love this surreal collection after reading Russell’s sublime Vampires in the Lemon Grove this past summer, and I don’t know why I didn’t. The best stories are good, but I didn’t really connect with or remember them afterwards. I think there’s too much weird machinery without enough grounding in real emotional conflicts.
Dunbar by Edward St. Aubyn (2017): Dunbar, a retired Canadian media mogul, is sabotaged and railroaded into a nursing home by his two scheming eldest daughters. As he tries to escape the home with the help of an alcoholic comedian, his disinherited youngest daughter and his well-meaning lawyer try to find out where he’s been institutionalized. This modern retelling of King Lear is fairly interesting but never really gets off the ground; it feels more like St. Aubyn is playing with dolls than writing a novel.

What Mr Eazi’s Father, Captain Ajibade, Has To Say About His Son
Not much is known about Captain Alexander Olukayode Ajibade who retired from the Nigerian Air Force as a Squadron leader.
Tumblr media
But his son, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, better known as Mr. Eazi will ring a bell in the ears of many Nigerians or lovers of Afro beat. Even though being a celebrity parent has its perks, Captain Ajibade, as fondly called and his wife chose to remain off the scene as their first son, Mr Eazi swept through cities after cities with hit records, using his style of ‘Banku Music,’ touring and striking deals across the UK, US and other markets as one of the smartest African musicians alive. Two days before meeting Captain Ajibade at his Lagos home, I put up his name on Google but nothing came up, nothing linked him with the singer except during one of the music star’s video shoots, where Mr Eazi disclosed that Kpalanga, a military-themed music video was inspired by his pilot father’s absence from his family life. The video features the singer and a troupe of backing dancers dressed in camouflage fatigues, reflected the “toll” his father’s absence took on their relationship. He recalled meeting his father for the first time when he was two. As we sit down in his plush living room, I start by asking why they were not out there despite the fact that their son is arguably one of Nigeria’s most commercially successful artistes at the moment, especially in the international market. From sold-out concerts to making huge streaming revenue, Mr Eazi can be said to have successfully cracked the code on how effectively break into the international market. He has generated more than 900 million streams worldwide, including over 226 million plays on YouTube alone. From his tone, his reactions, one will definitely doubt that Captain Ajibade who hails from Ayetoro, Ogun State, once worked in the military. He is calm and cool, a rare trait to see in a military man. “I have always been a very private person, let Mr Eazi do his things and we do our things here too”, he replies before narrating a scenario to support why they chose to remain private as Mr Eazi’s parent. “I think it was in the news that Mr Eazi’s father was kidnapped, people who saw the news were trying to reach me. It was on Sunday and I got back from Church early so I was sleeping at home and my phone was off. By the time my wife got back and they called her, she said my husband is here. “So they kidnapped the wrong person,” he narrated. Upon our arrival at his home, Mr Eazi’s parents just filled up a car with cooked meals heading to somewhere in Agege to give them out to the less privileged. A week earlier, the parent through Mr Eazi’s foundation – emPawa Foundation, had donated food items to residents in Sango Ota in Ogun State, and also visited Little Saints Orphanage in Lagos to support vulnerable children with food items. Initially, Captain Ajibade did not plan to follow the family to Agege to distribute the food but when we arrived, he had to take us in his car and waited, and after we were done, we headed back to his home and there I told him about our mission. “I thought you guys will want to interview Mr Eazi not me and he’s not around right now,” he said. I told him “we are here for you for now sir.” After we settled down, he took us back to his military and religious journey as well as other things he ventured into at the same time. “I don’t believe in titles. People just refer to me as Captain Ajibade, simple. I remembered when I was in Liberia, people call me Chaplain rather than addressing me by my rank, I retired as from the Air Force as a Squadron leader, in some circles they call me reverend, some call me pastor. In fact, there is a renowned Bishop in this country that always addresses me as a prophet.” After leaving service, Captain Ajibade did not stop rendering service to his country,“And to the Glory of God, I fly more or less for fun now, training Police pilots with no charge,” he says. “I fly helicopters that are rare, that when you go round the whole of West Africa, you will only see one or two people that can fly that type of helicopter. So that’s basically the person I am. Captain Ajibade has worked with notable people in Nigeria in the aviation sector, “I retired after 19 years in service of Nigerian Air Force, since then I have worked in several places. Bristow Helicopters, Adenuga’s Southern Airlines through Chief Makanjuola who owns Caverton Helicopters because he was the one paying us. “As I said, I still fly, my dream is that one day I have my own helicopter, not necessarily because right now I’m at the retirement age of even flying but then seeing some young ones growing, doing it and I love imparting knowledge on people, whether religious knowledge, spiritualism or knowledge as per aviation because after forty-something years in the military, you know I have something to offer. Captain Ajibade was also in Sierra Leone for ECOMOG for three years, a West African peacekeeping force that was founded to stop the bloodshed and ethnic killing. “All those experiences shaped me and my perception about life,” he added. Captain Ajibade and his son had a weird relationship because of absence in his life while growing up. “I think I didn’t see him for about 12 months after he was born,” he says as I asked him about his relationship with his son. “15 months, it was 15 months,” Mr Eazi’s mother, former banker now a pastor and an entrepreneur who was sitting at the dining table observing the interview from afar chipped in. “I actually met my wife in the bank where she was working,” he had told me earlier. “Well you know women do keep accurate date and time,’’ Captain Ajibade added as he flashed back to those struggling times to serve his nation and leave his family. “I was to go to Liberia during the civil war, I only waited for some time to do the naming ceremony and I left. It was a tough time for me because he doesn’t know me, he won’t listen or speak to me,” he lamented, “it was after I retired from the service I finally found time to work on our father and son relationship.” Mr Eazi’s father is from Yewa constituency in Ogun State while his mother is from the South-South region of Nigeria. The couple met in Port Harcourt where Mr Eazi was born, but how did Ghana came into the picture? I asked Captain Ajibade. Mr Eazi’s musical root has always been traced to Ghana, the singer once told Rolling Stone Magazine that “My music started out in Ghana, moved to the U.K. and then to Nigeria. To this day, the U.K. is my Number One streaming location on Apple Music and Spotify.” Mr Eazi had his growing up years, from 15 to 22 in Ghana for his educational endeavours, enrolling in the mechanical engineering programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). He later proceeded to Coventry University, United Kingdom. Helping people has always been Mr Eazi’s mission, “it was during his time at KNUST, he started doing MC, DJ and booking artistes to perform at college parties using the money to help students,” says Captain Ajibade. He did not start making music to make money.” Mr Eazi would later contribute vocals to the track “My Life”, a song that gained traction and became a popular record at KNUST. It was during his time as show MC that he got his stage name. “When he is MCing at the party, he always cautioned people at the event to take it easy, easy easy je je which now becomes Mr Eazi,” Captain Ajibade reveals, adding that his name was Easy Easy Jeje at first. Mr Eazi went on to pioneer Banku music, a fusion sound he describes as a mixture of Ghanaian highlife and Nigerian chord progressions and patterns. It is a sound characterized by percolating rhythms and laid-back vocal delivered in Ghanaian Pidgin English. Expanding his community service beyond Nigeria, Mr Eazi launched a talent incubator programme ‘emPawa Africa’ in 2018, with the goal of investing in promising artists early so they could develop self-sustaining careers. Each artiste will receive a $10,000 grant to go towards a music video, along with mentorship from professional singers, producers, and video directors. Captain Ajibade, while reacting to that nodded in affirmation, “that’s how all my children were brought up. It is not that he is rich to sponsor all those artistes, he has sponsors, some people are also supporting him.” “Mr Eazi always told us the story of the $1,000 investment someone made in his career and how that made a huge difference,” E Kelly, a music producer and close collaborator, told Rolling Stone in 2019. The strategy seemed to work for singers like Joeboy, J. Derobie, and others who scored hits last year after connecting with emPawa. I asked at what point did Mr Eazi showed interest in music, the father did not give me a specific answer but disclosed that all his children have access to many musical instruments at home and they listened to records he would play for the family while having breakfast. Giving the fact that Military men are always strict, Captain Ajibade is far from strict, he’s actually the one we should be calling Mr Eazi. As a man of God, he believes people should do what they are passionate about and be fulfilled. Speaking about his kind of private lifestyle, Captain Ajibade who doesn’t always attend his son’s shows and will remain in the crowd for the once he attends, said “that’s where all the fun is actually,” while his son will announce that his father is around but won’t get him noticed because he does not take life too serious because of experience while growing up. In his words, “There are always two angles to human beings. There is spiritual and there is physical and when you have experienced both, you just know that there is nothing to it. He went on to narrate how things were hard while growing up, “I say extremely rough, right from my primary school days, I even had ulcer but reading the bible and following the scripture, it impacted on my character and my way of life.” Captain Ajibade also had a little stint in politics, he contested Federal House of Rep for three times and lost all. Prior to that, he boasted to have built more than 200 boreholes across the country as a way of giving back to the communities. While narrating how his third attempt in the National Assembly made him quit politics, he agreed that it has always been like that in Nigeria politics. “The one that I won, those who have money bought it and that’s politics,” he says “At one point I was wondering that how can I win someone in his polling unit, in his ward, in his local government and yet at the end of the day, I still lose the election?” But for someone like Captain Ajibade who believes in God, took the situation as part of the training of life, “it shows how people can go into a lot of diabolical means to win elections and what I told the man was that. I said the way the animal that went to sacrifice suffered and died, that’s the way you will end up your life, and that was what happened. He was in the House of Rep three times consecutively, but he rotten to death, I was not happy about it but there is nothing you sow in life you will reap it, whether here or hereafter.” Captain Ajibade started his political career from Alliance for Democracy, AD, and migrated to People’s Democratic Party, PDP, “and that was when Gbenga Daniel started his campaign in Ayetoro with some of my projects. I moved all my followers from AD to PDP and I have always contested under PDP, though I am not an active PDP member anymore,” he reveals. Despite his contribution to his communities and having a good plan to represent them at the National level, Captain Ajibade’s efforts were not appreciated. “In fact I stopped been active in politics after my third-time attempt. I have come to realize that people are not ready, maybe for those who believed in divine intervention, maybe we will look for divine intervention, but the attitude of the people cannot actually bring an effective change,” he concluded.
