The machine gun and the Berlin conference- Africa must learn SCIENCE to survive into the future

 Where is our mother of all bombs in Africa? Where are our nuclear weapons? The machine gun and the Berlin conference  I've been thinking aloud for some days now about the Israel-Iran conflict. And with the US entering the conflict, it's now a war, some people even say this could be the beginning of the third world war. This keeps me wondering: what if this conflict was between Israel and Nigeria?  What if this war was between Israel and Ghana? What if this war was between Israel and Uganda? What if this war was between Israel and Kenya or Zimbabwe or Ethiopia or Sudan or any other African country? If that was the case; how will we defend ourselves? I now fully realize why Dr. Amos Wilson, in one of his lectures asked; if white people decide tomorrow that they want to remove us Africans from this planet; how will we defend ourselves?  They've already tried doing that in the past, it's just that they didn't succeed. And there's nothing in history that says they w...

US Policy to Make Third World Scientists  Become US Citizens

 STEM Fields and Immigration

October 16th, 2012 by Romona Paden
STEM Fields

By 2018, the United States is projected to have a shortage of 230,000 science and technology workers. This year, 40,000 graduates in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields will not have a problem finding jobs; the job openings more than double the number of graduates.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for STEM workers is around 4 percent.

The problem lies in that many of these STEM students are foreign nationals studying in the U.S. with nonimmigrant temporary visas. When they graduate, they are likely to move back to their home countries and take up their professions there. Instead of providing for the country in which they learned their skills, they will compete against it.

Many industry analysts advocate for a change in immigration policy to help retain highly-skilled immigrants who have studied in the U.S. Both Democrats and Republicans know the economic implications of a shortage in these fields. President Obama and Governor Romney have stated that they hope to provide these students with green cards so that they can work and live in the U.S. as permanent residents. Reform bills will be introduced in Congress this fall.

Meanwhile, there are some initiatives that are helping bring more people to the U.S. to study STEM Careers. It was announced this week that the NeXXt Scholars Initiative, launched by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in December 2011, has matriculated young women from countries like Morocco, Nigeria and Pakistan in women’s colleges across the U.S. to study STEM.

The dead end of African literature- by Obiajunwa Wali

By -

The Dead End of African Literature By Obiajunwa Wali A truly educated African who predicted the death of African languages in literature In order to truly understand the context of this article, please first read:  How Britain and the CIA fooled Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe to destroy African languages in literature.  PERHAPS, THE MOST IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT of the last   Conference of African Writers of English Expression   held in Makerere College, Kampala, in June 1962, is   that African literature as now defined and understood, leads nowhere. The Conference itself marked the final climax of the   attack on the Negritude school of Leopold Senghor   and Aime Cesare. For some time now, African writers   of English expression like Ezekiel Mphahlele, Wole Soyinka, and Christopher Okigbo, have treated this kind   of literature which expresses sterile concepts such as   "negritude" or the "African personality" with the utmost derision. ...

Jesus Christ Was a Black Man - According to the Bible

By -

Jesus Christ was a black man-  according to the bible Before I begin, let me say this article is not about religion, but about history. I am not a religious person, I am not interested in religion. It's high time black people got to begin un-learning lot of the information packed into our minds courtesy of long years of slavery and colonialism. It is time for the black race to rise and claim what is ours. History has been distorted extensively to downplay the contributions of black people to humanity.  One glaring distortion is about the character called Jesus Christ in the bible, whom the ancient artists drew as a black man, ancient sculptors carved him as a black man, and even the bible itself described him as a black man in many passages. Before I go further, let me inform you that if you're a serious seeker and you're interested in digging deeper for the whole truth and nothing but the truth, no matter where it may lead to, then you'll need to first find out What...

The Oldest Story in the World- The Origin of ALL Christo-Messiahships

By -

The Oldest Story in the World The snake is the primary source for ALL virgin birth stories found in various religions The Origin of ALL Christo-Messiahships- Horus, Buddha, Krishna, Mithra, Zoroaster, Jesus, etc The oldest story in the world is not the Adam and Eve story of creation found in the bible or other "holy books" because that story itself came from an older story told thousands (if not millions) of years ago in inner Africa. The oldest story in the world was told by the people who lived near the place where science says the first humans lived- somewhere in Northern Congo and South Eastern Nigeria axis. Millions of years ago, ancient Africans, while living side-by-side with the snake in the wild, made the following classic observations about the snake: - 1. Some species of snakes give birth without having sex (immaculate conception) 2. The mother snake goes into hiding to give birth 3. Snakes give birth in a dilapidated place (manger, stable, farmhouse) 4. Be...

The Real Name For Africa is ALKEBULAN

By -
Image
ALKEBULAN = Africa   How Europeans changed the name of Africa The Original name for Africa is ALKEBULAN: Arabic for "the land of original people" Alkebulan is the oldest and the only name of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians), and Ethiopians. Africa, the current name adopted by almost everyone today was given to this continent by a European invader by the name of Louis Africanus. Like all other methods of manipulation, the Romans sought to completely disconnect the indigenous Africans from their culture, deities, and knowledge. History of Louis Africanus and Alkebulan's name change Publius Cornelius Scipio battled Carthage– a powerful city-state in northern Africa which had established itself as the leading maritime power in the ancient world.  The First Punic War broke out in 264 B.C. when Rome interfered in a dispute on the Carthaginian controlled island of Sicily. The war ended with Rome ...

Role of Christian Missionaries in the Colonization of Africa- East Africa as a case study

By -
Image
Role of Christian missionaries in the colonization of East Africa Christian missionaries in East Africa (1). Missionaries signed treaties which were later used by colonialists to take over colonies e.g. Tucker, a British Missionary interpreted the 1900 Buganda Agreement to the regents of Kabaka Daudi Chwa II. This led to loss of political, economic and social powers to the British protectorate government. Sir Harry John stone who signed on behalf of the British government confessed that;      “I John stone shall be bound to acknowledge the assistance offered to me by the missionaries especially the CMS. Without their assistance on my side, I do not think Uganda’s chiefs would agree to the treaty which practically places their country and land in the British hands”. (From partition of Africa by Prof Sempebwa). (2). Missionaries supplied information to the colonialists which they utilized to plan how to effectively impose their colonial rule on how to crash t...

Death doesn't exist- There's no End, life has no End

 Death doesn't exist- There's no end, life has no end Death is an illusion Few days ago, someone asked me: where did we come from? Where will I go after death? First of all, there's no such thing as death because there's no beginning or end.  Death as an end comes from our perception. Beginning or end also comes from our perception as humans because we see everything in life begin and end. For example:- A day begins in the morning and ends at night. We go to work in the morning and close in the evening. We begin running a marathon and end when we touch the finish line or are tired. We begin eating and we finish eating. We begin bathing and we finish bathing. We begin writing a blog post and stop when we're done writing. We begin reading a blog post and end when we finish reading. We begin our lives during birth as babies and we end it at the time of so-called death. Etc, Etc. All these have programmed our brains that something must have a beginning and end. But it...
