Things

Can America overcome the deeply divisive politics that is consuming it? Will it remain a haven or become a fortress?

Donald Trump doing to migrant families what he would so desperately love to do to families of people of colour back home. 

Nigeria faces another round of elections in 2019. The stakes are high and the country cannot afford another tenure of inaction and recession. 

Staying alive to keep hope from dying out.

It isn’t enough to just talk about gun control, something needs to be done about it. 

The planning and execution of the right wing rally in Charlottesville is evidence growing confidence amongst fascist and alt-right groups in America. The forces of law and order need to start taking action against demonstrations of prejudice and racial hatred.

Democratic Party still off the pace and getting even further behind in the race. It needs to do much more than just trying to impeach Donald Trump. It and it's leaders lack electoral appeal right now.

It is time to come to terms with the fact that the existing political establishment in Nigeria cannot deliver prosperity and security. A new movement needs to rise up to challenge the current ideas about politics and governance. We need a new ethos that promotes selflessness and fairness above self promotion.

The UK Labour Party's new housing proposals are woefully inadequate and don't go nearly far enough to address the current housing crisis. They represent a grab for centrist votes rather than a genuine attempt to provide solutions.

Reports of deaths from hunger and starvation on the increase in Nigeria, Sudan and Somalia. African governments are depending on foreign aid and assistance to tackle the problem. Meanwhile, corruption and misuse of public funds are the norm across the continent.

Jeremy Corbyn's attempts at leading the Labour Party are going from failing to farcical. His fixed and limited vision of what the Labour Party should be just doesn't recognise the demands of the job in the 21st century.

Violence in the media and on the streets have created a dangerous culture that is killing our bodies and minds.

Modern day slavery in Nigeria. Children being used as servants and denied education. Underage girls being married off for payment. Women being trafficked abroad for the purpose of prostitution.

Turning conflict and friction in relationships into opportunities to bond.
