TRENDS OF FASHION IN AFRICA

The program, Focus on Africa at BBC, commenced on time but with some technical on the satellite transmissions, however, the producer Clere, did her magic and we were able to go on air after some minutes. She's an inspiration.

Our Nigerian 'Broda' was up in arms to battle people like us who are not patriotic to the traditional wears. Furthermore, he fully supported the idea of a Nigerian minister of enforcing a law that would make all the civil servants in Nigeria to were traditional dressings on Fridays.

On my side sat a Kenyan designer , John, Who was involved in designing the Kenyan national dress some few years ago, that failed to hit the market. With much passion on his work, John was partially supporting my argument that, people should not be forced to wear traditionally and especially young men who have been brought up in an urban society.

Callers from Sierra Leone, Nigeria, S.Africa and London were sorry for me that I had become a symbol
of use by the Westerners. As the Presenter of the program described the way I was dressed and said that I could fit in any street in NY or L.A, others were even saying that I was suffering from Inferiority Complex..... awwhh it made me laugh.

The question is Who is it to blame between me and my parents who raised me up in an urban setup???

Childhood Night mares

When I was a small boy, I used to have night mares which usually terrified me. There is this dream which so often I dreamed. Iwould see Satan following me and I would try to run away from him yet in vain since he would catch up with me. I would then decide to comfortably and confidently walk away from the devil and to my surprise, I would succed in getting away from him with a lot of ease. This was a dream I used to have on many occasions and today, when I consider how the devil brings temptations to me, I always feel that it was God who wanted me to have faith in Him and I would always defeat the devil no matter how trying a moment may appear. Experience has taught me that if I just resist the devil, he will run away from me. I should not fear him but God Almighty. It is only God who should be feared and nothing else in the whole unverse. When Daniel showed fear to the Lord only, and declared that he better died than to worship idols, God declared that he would not be eaten by lions. Also, when Shadrak Meshak and Abednego stood their ground in the name of the Lord, fire could not kill them. Even now if we stand for our faith in Jesus, we will not be consumed by eternal death.

Was the Headless Chicken a "No-Brainer"?

Have you ever felt you were running around aimlessly, like a chicken with its head cut off? Well, in Fruita, Colorado, you can do that every year at the annual festival that honors Mike, the headless chicken!

Believe it or not, and many people don't, a Colorado farmer attempting to dispatch a chicken for dinner in 1945, ended up with one of the biggest non-hoaxes of the era, and a place in the Guinness World Book of Records for the headless chicken who survived the longest.

Lloyd Olsen had been sent out to the yard, to sacrifice a plump young rooster of about six months. And guess who was coming to dinner to eat it? His mother-in-law. Knowing how she favored the neck, Olsen went about his task with the idea of keeping on the mother in law's good side, by keeping most of the neck on the chicken. He succeeded in a way he'd never have expected in his wildest dreams.

When the chicken (who later became known as Mike, although nobody remembers why) was decapitated, he refused to lay down and die. While many birds slaughtered this way will appear to run around for a few seconds, it's actually a nerve/adrenalin response by the body, with no actual intent to escape. They drop down, and die. But not Mike.

He continued to run around the chicken pen. Olsen let him be, and the next morning, found Mike asleep with his "head" under his wing. Figuring that any bird who wanted to live that bad, was worth the work, he began feeding grain and water directly into the gullet through an eye dropper. When Mike was still alive a week later, Olsen packed him up, and drove him to the University of Utah, to explain the phenomenon.

Apparently the axe had severed the head above the brain stem, missing the jugular vein and leaving the entire brain, and one ear. A large clot had stayed any major bleeding, and the wound healed over, leaving the gullet open for feeding.

Not only did Mike live for another 18 months, but he grew to a creditable eight pounds, and became a national news story as well as a sideshow attraction. Mike went to that great chicken coop in the sky during a road trip in Arizona, when he began to choke in the middle of the night, and Olsen was unable to find the eyedropper with which they kept his throat cleared.

Unhappy Valentine's Day

Roses are red and Violets are blue,
I didn't buy you anything
'cause to be honest,
I really don't like you.

Roses are red
Violets are not
Remember Valentine's Day
Or you will be shot

God made the Irish
God made the Dutch,
But whoever made you
didn't make much!

Just kidding! Love you bunches!
