By Adewale T Akande – Without mincing words, I am using this opportunity to console the souls of innocent citizens that lost their lives, commiserates with the families of those who lost their loved ones and wish those injured speedy recovery from the “absurd” (according to the White House) and “senseless” bomb blasts by the islamist group called Boko Haram. It was the first bloody Christmas ever experienced by Nigerians since 1960. Albert Einstein, the German-born physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, have this to say on the life of individual. He says; “The life of the individual... Continue Reading
By: Jean-Paul Pougala TRANSLATED BY: LUIS FRANQUE – Johannesburg (South Africa) 12/26/2011 On Monday January 24, 2011, the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament had voted for the opening of a parliamentary inquiry about the source of funding to associations and non-governmental organizations in operation on Israeli territory.
