Leave The Problems Behind And Take A Positive Step Into The Year 2016


Happiness and togetherness is all that we need to make this world beautiful



Happiness and togetherness is all that we need to make this world beautiful


Many are  struggling  to overcome anxiety disorder, fear, and uncertainty, only to get disappointing results, because crime, violence, and terrorism are taking away our peaceful and happy moments.


The problem is that most people find it hard to overcome their fears because it’s part of who they are. That’s actually a mistake. “No one drinks medicine on the behalf of a sick person,” a Ghanaian proverb, meaning your happiness is in your own hands.

At times sadness, loneliness, and depression make us feel miserable and scared because we don’t know what tomorrow may bring. If you take a wider view of things you could discover that dating and friendships seem to be disappointments. 

Many are hurt or recovering from love affair disasters. Why must my dates end in this way? This is one of the questions that usually follows.

Many times it may be differences of opinions, careers and misunderstandings, but at times it may turn out to be that the partners don’t like something about each other, especially about his or her character. Humbleness and politeness create a happy environment, but how many people there are polite and humble?

Within some few days, we shall be witnessing the new year (2016). Are you going to carry your problems along with you? We often allow problems to take their toll on us than finding solutions.

If the blind can play the piano, someone without hands, can open the chapters of a book, with his toes or tongue, then why do you have to grumble when you are physically strong?

The purpose of this article is to encourage, not to discourage. There are many opportunities there for you. Let God be your guide to choose wisely and let your hopes and dreams be a reality in the year 2016.

Poetry Enriches The Human Soul, As It Nurtures Love

By Walter William Safar


By Walter William Safar

Poetry enriches the human soul, as it nurtures love, compassion, freedom, and faith in people. I don’t know much about victories, but I am sure of one thing, that compassion is a victory of the human spirit. 

Yes, I consider myself to be lucky to share my poetry with everyone regardless of race or religion because anyone’s tears are the same color, as well as an honest smile.


There is hope in me that you shall become my brothers in art, in terms of literature and compassion. Let it be the beginning of a wonderful friendship that shall be linked through small mercies. As William Wordsworth put it beautifully: “The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.”

(Those who divide poets into amateurs and professionals are wrong, because poetry is not a profession, but a state of mind-state of soul… Each verse that brings tears to someone’s eyes remains in memory and the wise Jean-Paul said: Our memories are the only paradise from which we can never be expelled.)

A man’s heart is small, but it is surrounded by the immensity of its soul. Sometimes our words may appear silent, but they are certainly heading for infinity.

Read Walter William Safar’s

THE LAND BEYOND THE RAINBOW

You are calling me, road of dreams,
To a land beyond the rainbow,
In which diversity is the harmony of living,
In which hatred is losing the battle against love,
In which a strong spirit is virtue instead of weakness;

You are calling me, road of dreams,
To where reality is conceived from thousands,
Tens of thousands of dreams,
Dreams that feed the soul,
Dreams that nurture the hearts of
Dreamers from all over the world;

You are calling me, road of dreams,
To a wonderful land of dreamers,
But I am tired,
My mornings are different now,
Full of extinguished sparks,
And the scents of weary nights
That lay beside you now,
Just like night birds,
Your weary wanderers,
Whose passion bled
Into life’s inexhaustible well.


Aids And Ebola Are Medical Terrorism Against Africa by Europe And America


The resting place of poor victims of Ebola in Africa


The resting place of poor victims of Ebola in Africa



Without any support from the European and American media, since the beginning of this year, I have been working very hard with Joel Savage, a writer, who also advocate truth, to let the whole world, including Africa, know that Aids and Ebola were man-made diseases or created in the laboratory and used on poor innocent defenseless Africans by Europe, Russia, and America.



In fact, just like the fight against terrorism continues unabated, we (Dongen and Savage) will also continue to establish the truth that Aids and Ebola, were indeed medical crimes against Africa, for military defending purposes, to de-populate and cause mass human destruction and panic in the continent of Africa.

We are asking European and American leaders to show concern to Africans, the same way they showed concern over terrorism in France or in any part of this world. It’s pure hypocrisy for Europe and America, to haunt perpetrators of terrorism, when they are free after committing the same medical terrorism in Africa.


Professor Dongen's research on Aids and Ebola as medical crimes against Africa was first published in Dutch, before translation


Professor Dongen's research on Aids and Ebola as medical crimes against Africa was first published in Dutch, before translation

Again it’s pure hypocrisy for Europe and America, to hunt down the perpetrators of Nazi crime when those that committed the medical crimes are enjoying their lives with impunity. 

Do we have to ask, is it because that medical terrorism against Africa was committed many years ago, while terrorism is freshly taking place in  Europe and America? If the answer is yes, then there is no law and if there is, then the law is an ass or raped.  

WHO IS JOHAN VAN DONGEN?

Dongen is a Dutch Micro-Surgeon/Scientist and a former lecturer in one of the universities in Holland. At the age of 48, he lost his job because of revealing the truth about Aids and Ebola as man-made viruses, which were created in the laboratory, as a means to depopulate Africa.  

Decades of his research, he immediately published a book about those medical crimes in the native language, in Holland.

Since Europe, America, Russia, the World Health Organization and Center for Diseases Control want to cover up those medical crimes, Holland didn’t take Professor Dongen’s publication likely. What was his ‘crime?’ He was considered a whistle-blower.

After losing his post as a lecturer, Micro-Surgeon Dongen stood tall, brave and firm, to fight the authorities in his native Holland, since his research had been confirmed by other brave scientists that Aids and Ebola were indeed medical crimes against Africa.

After many lawsuits against his professional life, the Dutch authorities crippled him financially, as one of the measures to stop him from bringing out the truth. “Joel Savage, I lost everything, but not my brain and my wife,” says Professor Johan Van Dongen.

At his ripe age, Dongen still continues to fight for the truth, penniless, by using social media. Whatever wrong happening to us today, including terrorism, was caused by man. The wages of sin is death and whatever a man sows, the same he shall reap. We are against terrorism and other crimes, but many have failed to realize that whatever is happening to us today, were the results of the evil deeds planted by Europe and America.

Professor Johan Van Dongen’s research over Aids and Ebola medical crimes in Africa was first published in Dutch, before translated.

The media knows this very well, but they will not publish it to ‘tarnish’ their image or someone to lose his job, instead they keep on killing and making things difficult for those standing up for the truth. 

Since Aids, Ebola, and other medical crimes occurred, many scientists have lost their lives in strange circumstances. The latest is  Dr. Jeff Bradstreet: After claiming that vaccines caused autism, the doctor was found dead.

The media claimed in an apparent suicide in North Carolina, Bradstreet died of what seems to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. Found in Rocky Broad River in Chimney Rock on June 19, by a fisherman. 

In a world of white-collar liars and criminals, that’s what we often hear and the European and American media have also inherited the same disease: The Lying Syndrome.

We are never pleased over terrorism taking place around the world because violence doesn’t pay. In fact, like every human being, we feel the pain for victims of terrorism, even though no one cares about Africans, yet we shall use the social media to discourage this act of violence some extreme groups are using to get their voice heard. 

But while we are showing concern over the lives of innocent victims killed by terrorists, the world should also show concern over the plight of Africans to bring those responsible for facing the law or justice.

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING


Worshippers showing their faith in God


Worshippers showing their faith in God



We often read ‘Pray without ceasing,’ but how serious do we consider this statement? Imagine if a car, after running thousands of kilometers needs servicing, lubrication and changing of engine oil, etc; to run efficiently, what is the spiritual strength of a human being, who eats and sleeps daily without prayers, to boost his spiritual life against temptation, sins of the flesh and bad spiritual forces?


Scholars, atheists, scientists, and non-believers continue to tamper with the doctrines of the gospel, twisting and changing facts, just to put people astray and ruin the society as witnessing today. But don’t be surprised because the prophecy in the Bible over such events must be fulfilled. 

Everyone is after money, fame and material things because the mind is polluted to believe that money is the only thing that can give mankind satisfaction.

Money is good, but can’t buy one peace and happiness. In fact, the love for money has generated crime and brought immoralities on the internet and television, through bad advertisements. 

What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? The scripture says ‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.’- Luke 21:33. Then again: ‘Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.’- Matthew 6: 33.

Like the changing of clothes daily, prayer should be part of our lives. How inefficient a farmer could be without farm equipment? If prayer isn’t necessary to keep us strong in times of sadness or temptation, Jesus wouldn’t have said to the tempter “It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4.

Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28. If everything fails, try Jah’s love and see the result. 

Don’t turn to God only when you have difficulties or want something. Let that faith you have in Him inspire you to read the Bible and pray without ceasing. 

You will definitely see your progress, prosperity, and success pouring like a ripe fruit falling and spreading under the tree.

The Truth About Jesus: He Is Still Alive


Jesus loves children


Jesus loves children


“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 


That’s one of the numerous quotes by Jesus, recorded in Matthew 7:7-8. Apart from “Love thy Neighbour as thyself,” I consider this particular quote recorded at Matthew 7:7-8, as one of the most powerful gospel quotes by Jesus.

Imagine, can you know the deliciousness of food when you haven’t tasted it? Without making a journey to a place, how can you know the beauty of that place, because pictures aren’t enough? 

Without reading the Bible to understand the gospel, to seek the face of Jesus, how can you know him? It’s necessary to search for something before you can find, isn’t it?

Again when you need something without asking, how do you receive it? And when you are entering the house of your neighbor, you may stand behind the door for hours, if you don’t knock on the door to be welcomed. “Blessed are pure of heart, for they shall see God.”

If you want to know someone, then let it be your goal to search for ample information about the one. The same applies to Jesus, if you search for him, you will not only know about him but you will find him.

For The Discerning Reader In Love With Diversity Of Culture


Joel Savage


Once a journalist asked Chinua Achebe, one of Africa's greatest and internationally known writers, the reason he hasn't written any book about Europe and America. Achebe responded by saying that a lot has already been written about those two continents.


Yes, there are thousands of European and American writers, but only a few write about Africa. The reason my articles and books reflect on my culture as an African, despite living in Europe for many years.

I know that there are thousands of readers interested in the non-fiction genre of books, thus; one of my goals is to share my non-fiction books through diversity of culture. My utterly and compelling collections are destined to capture the reader's attention and interest, to learn about other people's culture and heritage.

My books are in the categories of travel, immigration, health, and entertainment. The personal account of the stories reflect on the places I visited in Africa, such as Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Togo, Benin, and The Gambia. And in Europe, it's about life in Barcelona, Spain, Aarhus, Denmark, England, Amsterdam, Holland, Rome, Italy and Antwerp, Belgium.

The African stories act like a guide to European and Americans tourists. The books will teach you how to avoid being a victim to thieves, armed robbers and immigration crooks, that prey on nationals and foreigners, while the Europeans stories teach Africans how to survive in Europe, without papers and crime.

Many ask the reason some of my books have sad titles. Each title reflects on the story, but the books have its humorous part too. Explore the humane, captivating and emotional account of Joel Savage's books, that will keep you turning the pages late into the night. 

Wishing everyone, including readers, authors, and writers: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Great Men Knocked Down By Women: Will It Ever Come To An End?


Great men in sex scandals: Top, from left to right, Bill Clinton, John Profumo, Kobe Bryant and below, from left to right, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods and Jeffery Archer

Great men in sex scandals: Top, from left to right, Bill Clinton, John Profumo, Kobe Bryant and below, from left to right, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods and Jeffery Archer.




Newspapers often come out with stories of great people, including politicians and celebrities in sex scandals, turning their lives upside down. Because they weren’t strong enough to control their sexual desire or too weak to resist the charm and power of attractive ladies. 

From Biblical times, there are stories of infidelity and adultery, putting many great men in the worst positions.

One of such stories recorded in the scriptures is that of King David, a composer, the author of the book of Psalms. He couldn’t control his desire after seeing Uriah’s wife through his window taking her bath. 

After failing to persuade Uriah to sleep with his wife, to concede his sin and pregnancy of Bathsheba, David sent Uriah to the hottest part of a battlefield to get him killed. God severely punished David for his sinful act and the child died after birth.

Giving examples of Biblical records of great men involved in sex scandals wouldn’t be intriguing, so let’s shift to our past and present generation. 

On June 5, 1963, British Secretary of War John Profumo resigns his post after confessing that he had lied to the House of Commons about his sexual affair with Christine Keeler, an alleged prostitute. The scandal didn’t affect him alone but threatened to topple Prime Minister Harold Macmillan’s government.

A couple of years ago, it was revealed that former president of the USA, Bill Clinton, is involved in an affair with a former staff of the White House, Monica Lewinski. 

I watched as people argued that the story couldn’t be true. Is Clinton different from other great men women had brought to their knees? 

To make matters worse, after Clinton’s denial of not having any relationship with Monica, he later admitted to having sexual intercourse with Monica Lewinski.

What about the boxer Mike Tyson? He was convicted and jailed for raping Desire Washington. According to the story, Tyson invited her to his hotel room. To do what behind closed doors?  Later Mike Tyson was convicted of rape.  

Many believe that Desire lied about being raped by Tyson, unfortunately not everyone believes that. Mike Tyson served his prison sentence but never became the iron Mike he used to be.  

In one of his fights, after coming from prison, frustrated Tyson bit the ear of Evander Holyfield. They say the downfall of a man is not the end of his life, but at times some events and situations can be destructive.

Some years back in Britain, the famous British novelist Jeffery Archer, won a libel suit against the Sun newspaper for an article about him sleeping with a prostitute. According to Mr. Jeffery Archer, the story was untrue and it damaged his reputation. 

The author of ‘Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less’ was finally exposed. He admitted to having asked a friend to lie on his behalf to conceal the truth. So he did really sleep with a prostitute. 

The startling new revelation affected Jeffery Archer such that he stepped down from contesting the seat as the mayor of London. Oh, what a shame?

On September 1, 2004, the criminal sexual assault case against Kobe Bryant, the NBA star, was dropped by the prosecutors because the accuser no longer wanted to participate in the court process.   

This was after Kobe Bryant was charged with sexual assault of a 19-year-old woman in a Colorado hotel where she worked. The question is “why is it that the mighty keep falling from the hands of women?” Is it lust, lack of control or temptation which is causing these problems? I can’t really unfold the mystery behind this.

One of such news about men involved in sex scandals, which shocked the world, was the case of the successful golfer, Tiger Woods. 

With such a  great career, leading him to all the corners of the world and winning great tournaments, the married man lost focus and hit the golf ball into the underwear of porno stars, severely damaging his reputation and career.  

I am a man, therefore I know the comfort and satisfaction at that place which belongs to a woman, but I am aware of the dangers and temptation, especially if you are a married man.

According to the scriptures, God places people in situations where He tests their faith and commitment.  Why God does test us when He knew the man will fail? 

Is man trying to get back the rib God used to create the Eve-woman, while the woman fights hard to keep it? If God really tests man, then a man should pass the trial by not falling into temptations, because He also gave man power to resist temptation. In this case, a man shouldn’t blame God or woman for his failure.

Another question worth to bring on the table is: Can these bitter stories serve as a lesson to other men? Time will tell, but I don’t think so. 

Men will always drift into danger since the body is weak to resist temptation, moreover, Satan is like a hungry lion, lurking around the corner, looking for its next victim to devour, but we mustn’t allow him to catch us.

The Heart Has No Colour, No Country, No Religion, No Sex


Andrea: Her wise comment inspired me to write this article



Andrea: Her wise comment inspired me to write this article


I do write a lot, but I have to admit that some of my writings were created from comments of readers or my followers. As writers or bloggers, when we read comments on articles: How seriously do we take them, ponder over them to see their usefulness, significance, and effect?


Many argue that it’s not good to make comment, but I say that It’s good to comment on articles, but if you don’t have anything significant to say, please shut your mouth, because your comment can give you the respect you deserve and the same comment can put you into a very big trouble, because of the bad things you said.

Believe me some comments worth more than silver and gold. It can change one’s life and the way you think, especially if you don’t have any love in your heart for someone. 

There are many problems and almost all these problems were caused by man. Pride, superiority, and racism are some of the problems tearing our society apart today, yet no one wants to be called a racist.

Recently I posted an article captioned “Who Says There Is No Happiness Or Love In Africa?” The fact that Africa is a continent that has suffered a lot of wars, ethnic conflicts, slavery, and man-made diseases, many think they don’t have a love for each other. 

Frankly speaking, a poor African can easily share his food with a friend, than a rich man in a developed country.

This particular article I wrote, didn’t generate much comment, but the only comment I had was awesome and inspiring. It touched my soul to read it over and over, allowing it to germinate in me, to add it to the little I have and share with others.

According to blogger Andrea, who runs this Italian blog.

Each person has a heart, and in each heart there is Love.

So every one of us has love in his/her heart.

The heart has no colour, no Country, no religion, no sex.

So Love has no colour, no Country, no religion, no sex.

Too many times, unfortunately, people forget to be human, and have a heart…

I hope everyone agrees with me that this quotation or comment is awesome and carries wisdom? Thank you Andrea.

Violence Against Women: Chronic Problem Without Solution?


Victim of acid attack

Victim of acid attack


“A woman is a flower in the middle of the garden and the man is the fence around it.” This is one of the thousands of proverbs used daily in my native country Ghana. 


It’s a saying which reminds everyone of the importance of woman in the society from Biblical to our present-day abode. They build a nation, they are therefore creatures to adore, cherish, support, protect, and love.

Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, women are far from freedom. Some are fighting for education, working like everyone, to drive, and to participate in public functions. 

Religion is used as a stumbling block to dominate and deny women of their rights.  Under the bondage of religion, a woman becomes subject to cruelty, slavery, and violence.

Religion calls for the stoning to death of a woman when she commits adultery, but the same religion permits a man to marry more than one woman and continues enjoying life after committing adultery himself, behind his chains of married women. 

There is something wrong here and I think heaven must be missing an angel who delivers justice to the bad ones. Many religions speak about God, but the cruelty and violent nature demand ‘What kind of God are they really worshiping?

From generation to generation women have suffered the violence of every nature, including sexual harassment, domestic violence, and rape. The latest is the acid attack. In Asia, a woman who isn’t interested in marriage proposals often ends up disfigured with acid. 

Here comes a man of 40, he wants to marry a girl of 14. A fourteen-year-old child could be your daughter. Due to her age when she rejects her suitor’s proposal, her punishment is to be disfigured by acid. Shockingly many involved in such crimes walk on the street without punishment.


In Bangalore, India, a former school teacher and mother of two received extensive surgery on her neck, face, and hand, after an acid attack. What’s her crime? She was beautiful and he resented the admiring glances she got. 

I will ask again, what kind of God do these people worship? Corruption rules many parts of Asia; thus; many commit a heinous crime with impunity. This is the reason acid attack on women is very high in Asia and Middle-East without ceasing.

Victims of acid attacks are completely cut from society because they don’t look like normal human beings again. Their injuries are horrible to the extent that they prefer to be isolated. 

World leaders turn blind on important issues and waste their time on things less important. How can women continue to suffer in this way? Yet they feel so proud and strong to tell countries that don’t support homosexuality to accept same-sex marriage. 

That is all that they can do. This is disgraceful; something must be done to stop this madness.

Anyone who throws acid on someone's intention is to destroy or kill because not all victims are fortunate to survive such attacks. The punishment for such perpetrators should, therefore, be life imprisonment. 

There is the international court of justice in The Hague, Holland, putting those who have committed political crimes behind bars, but those involved in this grave crime against humanity are walking free, enjoying daily life with impunity.

What is justice and where can these women find one? Who can help, save, and protect women from this menace and violent society? 


Acid attacks on women should be taken as a serious crime and those responsible be caged for the rest of their lives, this will serve as a deterrent to others, because they are not human beings.

If One Pretends To Be Dead, Mourners Will Pretend To Bury Him Alive

Discussing your problems with someone you love is the best way to get help and solutions to the problem


Discussing your problems with someone you love is the best way to get help and solutions to the problem



“If one pretends to be dead, mourners will pretend to bury you alive,” is one of the thousands of African proverbs meant to educate, shape our lives and inspire us, as each proverb carries a moral lesson, advice, and wisdom. This particular proverb speaks against pretending.


As imperfect human beings, we are responsible for both the good and bad things we do. Whichever way one takes it, to pretend is also considered to be something bad. 

The question is why do people pretend? According to a study, pretending has both advantages and disadvantages.

Sometimes one needs to pretend. For example, when all of a sudden in a cinema hall, a gunman on a shooting spree takes everyone by surprise without any escaping route, pretending to be dead among those already dead could save your life. 

But in other ways, pretending can cause self-destruction, depression, loneliness and other psychological problems. How?

The pressure in the society is enormous. Things are not going well, yet many people prefer to hide their problems behind a false smile. 

If you don’t share your problem with your family or a trustworthy friend, how can someone know your problem to give the attention or help you need? 

Researchers reveal that hiding a problem behind a false smile or faking happiness is more likely to bring you harmful feelings.

You might not be happy with your job, because your boss or a colleague is sexually harassing you, exploiting you physically, emotionally and mentally, yet you wear a false smile behind such psychological scars. 

Instead of pretending to be okay, it’s always better to tell your problem to someone to receive help.

Many wish to be someone, because of the extravagant lives other people live. But we must be careful about what we sometimes wish for. We must be content with whatever we have to live a happy life. 

Don’t let your neighbor’s expensive car, push you to live beyond your means, and put on a fake smile, deceiving people that you are living great, while you know that you are struggling to make ends meet.

In Africa and other countries around the world, many are believed to be sick of HIV but scared to go and see the doctor, because they aren’t ready to be told they have contracted HIV or Aids.  

They rather prefer to hide their problems with a fake smile, forgetting that no one drinks medicine on behalf of a sick person.

To pretend that everything is okay, while suffering, is not good for our health, we must, therefore, confine our problems to those close to us for help and solutions. That’s the only way we can overcome and defeat our problems.

Failure Is A Lesson That Encourages And Improves The Quality Of Life

Having faith in God builds one strong to avoid depression, loneliness and the tendencies of suicidal

Having faith in God builds one strong to avoid depression, loneliness and the tendencies of suicidal


I have heard many times that ‘Failure is not an option.’ Does it mean that we have to be perfect and successful in whatever we want to achieve in life? How can that be possible? Because since we are human beings and imperfect, we shall continue to experience many setbacks, including failure and disappointment daily in our lives.


In relationships, careers, and businesses, we are all bound to suffer certain problems. The question is, how do we handle or take it personally when we encounter such painful defeats and failures? 

I have seen it sports, tournaments and in certain fields of activities, participants emotionally and psychologically break down in distress, because they failed to achieve what they aimed at.

Life isn’t an easy journey if you want to achieve something genuinely. Many like to avoid life pitfalls or turmoil, by choosing a wrong path or shortcut. You can see them driving expensive cars and dwelling in beautiful mansions, but you don’t know what they do for the living.

When you see them like that, many wish they are one of them, but be careful to wish you are someone until you read the front page of newspapers that the person you wished to be, has been arrested at one of the international airports, in possession of heroin or cocaine. 

Would you like your life to end up in this way, because you wanted to avoid life’s failures and disappointments?

The world is full of great people; sometimes your eyes will be filled with tears when you read their autobiographies to know what they went through before achieving success. In life, failure or disappointment teaches one to be perfect. It worth therefore to see failure as one of the life’s tools that educate and shapes life in a positive way.

My passion to be a writer was easier in Africa than Europe, yet when I was in Africa, I thought Europe will be the right place for me to achieve my aims and objectives. Once in Antwerp, Belgium, I tried to raise a fund to enhance the publication of one of my books. It turns out to be one of the biggest failures in my life.

I couldn’t raise a cent, but this embarrassment wasn’t only what happened. I became a laughing puppet at the school where I’m working. It became a talk of the town with gossips and laughter. Instead of being sad or depressed, I embraced and accepted it as one of life’s challenges to continue writing without looking back.

People do things you may find it hard to believe. I don’t even think children will do what they did. The failure of the fundraising also taught me to be careful those I contact to demand bread. 

If one fails to accept failures and disappointments as instruments destined to educate and propel your career to the highest peak, you may end up at the psychiatry with depression or mental problems.

Campaign Art: Every Day, 500 Kids Don’t Make It. But You Can Save Them


People, Spaces, Deliberation bloggers present exceptional campaign art from all over the world. These examples are meant to inspire



People, Spaces, Deliberation bloggers present exceptional campaign art from all over the world. These examples are meant to inspire


According to World Health Organization figures, 500 children are killed each day in road crashes globally.  In fact, road traffic injury ranks among the top four causes of death for all children over the age of five years.  


To raise awareness of this deadly reality, Jean Todt, President of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the international motoring federation, and Special Envoy of the UN Secretary General for Road Safety, turned to world-renowned film director Luc Besson to deliver a potent message: children face incredible danger when crossing the road!

‘Save Kids Lives’, shows children in the townships of South Africa and in central Paris, France walking to and from school to show that the risks children face are almost universally shared, whether they are due to a lack of safe infrastructure or as a result of heavy traffic.

The film is shocking and may contain images some people find disturbing. But that’s exactly the point, according to Todt, who believes that it will help focus attention on making roads safe for children everywhere.

The film was launched the first week in October to coincide with International Walk to School Day and to support #SaveKidsLives, a UN initiative that calls for action to stop the growing number of road deaths worldwide and for decision-makers to prioritize children’s safety.

The Fear Of Death Hunting Homosexuals In Africa

Homosexuality is not part of the African culture but they are now listening to external voice: First traditional Gay marriage in South Africa.



Homosexuality is not part of the African culture but they are now listening to external voice: First traditional Gay marriage in South Africa.


Homosexuality, men having sexual intercourse, is an abominable act in many parts of Africa. Africa, a continent of different tribes and clans, doesn’t approve many things that they considered a taboo.


Thus; someone caught in a homosexual act, instantly faces severe punishment, beatings and lynchings, many times leading to death.
                             

Since homosexuality is a crime in African countries that don’t permit, those involved in such acts, hide it from the sight of the public, but homosexuality movements in Europe and America today, fighting for  recognition has inspired or encouraged African homosexuals to make their voice heard.
                           
Thus, the social vice which is less popular in Africa, is now becoming famous in many African countries, turning the countries into an unnerving place to live in, because of church leaders and many organizations against this practice, wouldn’t like to embrace this type of culture, they called it ‘Evil’ to add to their own culture.
                         
At times, I do ask myself time and time, do Europeans or Americans think Africa will readily accept whatever they are interested in? Africa has nothing to do with Christianity before the white missionaries ever went there. 

They thought Africans to follow the Bible or the gospel. Well, later the truth was discovered. The reason wasn’t to let Africans know about Christianity but to loot.
                       
Fortunately, many parts of Africa derived interest in the Bible and studied it thoroughly, therefore living by its teachings. An African Christian, explaining his point, to defend his hate against homosexuality, would take one deep step into the Bible. 

Two of such scriptures confirming that homosexuality is an evil act can be read at  1st Timothy: Chapter 10 and 1st Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 9.
                     
The question is: Why are Europeans and other Gay Rights Organizations, now fighting for the practice of homosexuality to be recognized in Africa, when they had already been there with the Holy Bible, a book telling Africans how evil the practice of homosexuality is?” 

The teachings of the Holy Bible can’t be reversed, so I am afraid to say that Africa can never change its mind or opinion on the negative aspects of homosexuality.
                       
Africa is already overwhelmed by many diseases, such as AIDS, Ebola, malaria, and others. It’s, therefore, make sense when they don’t want that practice. 

Europeans, Advanced Countries, and some Civil Right Organisations are the first people that voices are heard, whenever there is any bad situation in Africa, but whenever there is an epidemic, the response to contain the situation never comes or very slow.
                     
Aids have taken thousands of Africans to their untimely grave, since the early eighties, but there some rich people that had Aided in that period in America, who are still living. 

Many believe after Africa’s survival of Aids, Ebola, and other deadly diseases, America and Europe are destined to ruin the continent with homosexuality, just to continue to kill Africans, when any epidemic erupts.
                     
Africa has learned a lot from their misfortunes, that is the reason it is fighting against homosexuality today. Unfortunately, the path Uganda has taken to deal with this issue is totally out of course. The proposal for the death penalty for homosexuals is sheer madness. Violence against homosexuals is not an option or a solution.
                   
According to many homosexuals, they were born with it. Who feels it, knows it. Do men bear to love men? That’s really a hard concept to accept. 

The more I think about this issue, the more I get confused. African leaders must find a way to deal with the rise of homosexuality in Africa because death is not an option to eradicate or stop homosexuality in Africa.

Kicking Away Fear: The Enemy That Prevents Our Success


Fear, one of the most basic human unpleasant emotions in the nervous system

Fear, one of the most basic human unpleasant emotions in the nervous system











The young lady has successfully completed her education, passing out with bright colors as a medical nurse. But due to a lack of confidence, she is scared to solicit for a job. Her mind tells her she isn’t attractive enough and therefore going to fail her interview.


The aspiring writer has written the best book, which could be the next number one bestseller to change the world, but fear has already crippled him because he thought the book may not sell.

Fear, one of the most basic human unpleasant emotions in the nervous system, has attributed to the failure in the lives of thousands of people. When one is gripped with fear, it prevents quick thinking, solutions to problems, and one becomes confused and nervous.

Many encounters fear in many ways, when ready to take exams, during speech, and when to arrest certain situations. In the first place, what causes fear within human beings?

Many times, I like to share my experience when writing articles. I discovered during my youth that I had no fear in me, however; many attempts in things which I wasn’t perfect nearly cost my life. For example, I shouldn’t have gone deep into the sea when I am aware that I can’t swim. Yes till now, I don’t know how to swim.

 I was carried away by the sea, and those trying to save me gave up because I disappeared when I was pulled into a swirling deep hole under the sea. Then a mighty wave swept me ashore. In a state of shock, I took my clothes and walked nakedly home.

‘Fear’ is an enemy, yet people shouldn’t put away fear to do what they aren’t perfect or do something wrong. For example, smuggling drugs to a country, hoping you may not be caught. That is not the right way to overcome fear or to see if you are brave.

You may end up in jail. However; there are ways one can adapt to overcome fear. Once as an illegal immigrant in Europe, a few minutes before noon, without breakfast and not knowing where my next meal is coming from, I took to the streets on foot towards a friend’s house, hoping I might find something to eat.


Fear kills many people hundred of thousand times before their real death

Fear kills many people hundred of thousand times before their real death



Over an hour's walk and still far from where I was going, I experienced the symptoms of system failure. I felt dizzy and knew would soon collapse. I had no choice but to enter a bus without a ticket. Before the bus reached my destination, controllers caught me without a ticket. 

This is a very big offense everywhere in Europe, taken thousands of illegal immigrants back to their country of origin. I didn’t panic or afraid, that gave me enough time to think of what to say.

“I am happy you going to call the police to arrest me,” I said when I noticed they were going near their vehicle to use the equipment to call the police. “Why are you happy calling the police?”  

One of the controllers asked.“Because I haven’t eaten since morning, definitely I will get something to eat at the police station.” I replied. They were stupefied and after looking at each other’s faces, they asked me to go home.

According to doctors, fear is normal, because we are human beings. Unfortunately, fear, the feeling of agitation and anxiety that runs through the minds of human beings, preventing them from doing many things, is exactly what people in higher positions, stand on to harm, bully, manhandle and show injustice to the underprivileged in society. 


People use their positions to manipulate, cheat and dominate other people because they know the person is scared and powerless to defend themselves.

How can someone overcome fear? There are hundreds of books at Amazon on how to overcome fear, but one of the great books which I  read,  and changed my whole life consciously and positively  was ‘The power of positive thinking’ by Norman Vincent Peale. It’s a very good book.

Do You Experience God’s Miracle In Your Life?


The miracles of God comes when you are not expecting


The miracles of God comes when you are not expecting


I grew up in a family that strongly believes in God. At the corner of my parents’ bedroom, stands a small table covered with a white cloth. On this table, lies the Holy Bible, which belongs to my mother. She wakes up early in the morning to pray without ceasing. 

Sometimes I see her shedding tears in her prayers when she feels her prayers had been answered or touched spiritually.

Life, to many, is sex, enjoyment, doing drugs, rock, and roll, then after, you say goodbye to your friends, when it’s time to go and sleep peacefully or tormented in your grave. 

That’s not the meaning of life. Life has a significant meaning or purpose. Watching my mother, each morning, behind the small table, I developed a certain interest in seeking the face of God and started following her footsteps.

I read my Bible daily and tried my best to live to the principle the holy book teaches. Like everyone, I wasn’t perfect, I did many things which I shouldn’t do as a child, but not in my adulthood. 

As I begin to mature, I started experiencing the miracle of God’s hand in my life. There are times I joke about it saying: Death doesn’t like ugly people, the reason I’m still living.

I was once carried away by the sea because I couldn’t swim. Like Jonah in the belly of the whale and brought to the shores of Nineveh, after people gave up to save me, they watched as a mighty wave brought me ashore. 

The impact was heavy and the state of shock I find myself in at that moment prevented me to put on my clothes. I walked home naked. Till now I’m scared of the sea and can’t swim.

I was once crossing a busy street in Africa, after watching both sides of the road, I felt secured to cross, but from nowhere I was caught up in the middle of the road when a taxi hits me. 

Like a superman, I find my body in the mid-air, landing on top of the vehicle’s bonnet. The impact severely damaged the bonnet, but I survived.

In Africa, I was traveling on a mini-bus with other passengers. It was a very sunny day. I think the pressure in the vehicle’s Tyre warmed up to certain degrees Celsius, thus; one of the front Tyre’s exploded. 

The vehicle somersaulted continuously and finally landed on its side. I jumped out from the front seat without a scratch, when many were rushed to the hospital with injuries.

In Lagos State, Nigeria, I was kidnapped by armed robbers in military uniform. It was a swift action which took me by surprise. I was holding a small handbag that attracted them. 

They thought probably the bag has over a million dollars. In the rear of the car, I struggled with them and wouldn’t let the bag go, while the butt of the rifles they were holding rain on every part of my body, including my head.

After every attempt failed, they pushed me from the vehicle while in motion and I landed on the ground with a force, like a bag of salt. I stood up, brushed the dust off my body and walked home. But the scars of the beating I had, can still be traced on my body today, after three decades.

In Amsterdam, I was nearly killed by a woman while on my bicycle. I fell and rolled ahead, while her front Tyre was on my bicycle. According to her, the sun partially blinded her, so she didn’t see me. I had bruises all over my body. 

She carried my badly damaged bicycle to a repairers’ shop and paid for the cost. Anxious to know of my condition, she called me the next day. I told her I’m doing well. That was the last time she called.

In Antwerp, Belgium, after holidays in Africa, I came back penniless with bills to pay. There was a particular one I needed time to pay 110 Euros at my son’s secondary school. 

That was a second letter reminding me, thus; the third letter wouldn’t be good for me. The end of the month to get my salary was still far, thus; the situation was actually disturbing.

It was winter and very dark, on my way to work, I spotted something like a folded money on the bicycle lane. I stopped and walked back to see if it’s money or mind is just playing tricks on me. 

Behold, it was money. I took it and unfolded it. Guess how much? Two fifty Euro notes, one ten Euro note and one five Euro note, a total of 115 Euros.

After work, I quickly went home to pay the 110 Euros to the school and used the five Euros to buy a few things I needed most. There is no need to doubt over these stories because they came from Joel Savage, the writer who loves non-fiction articles and books. 

Have you ever experienced the miracles of God’s hand in your life?

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” Said Jesus at Matthew 7:7. Just as sports are good for the body, reading the Bible is good for the mind and your spiritual being.

AIDS & EBOLA: Belgium’s Professor Van Der Groen Lied Over The Origin Of The Diseases


Belgium's Professor Van Der Groen

The Aids pandemic and Ebola epidemic have generated many controversies all over the world, since the outbreak couple of months ago, hitting Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, but only the happy few have access to any inside information of the Aids and Ebola research.


What many people don’t know, according to Professor Johan Van Dongen, is the viruses of Ebola was long created within bacteria factories, with dubious micro-organisms and given different names such as Reston virus, Belgrade virus and Marburg virus. 

It was when the first outbreak of the virus which occurred near a small river in Africa called Ebola, gave the name of the disease as Ebola. “This is how scientists give names to their findings,” He added.

In Africa there were varieties of wide experiments of dubious scientists, including a crook called Hillary Koprowski. Later there was a hunt to catch this man. 


On his normal course of business, he used genetically contaminated engineered vaccines on innocent children in Africa. Not only African children suffered the effect of the contaminated vaccines.

In Australia between 1940 and 1970 hundreds of orphaned children, including babies were used as guinea pigs to test vaccines against influenza, pertussis, and herpes. 

This atrocity was confirmed by David Vaux, an expert on infections. In the largest experiment, about 350 children were all injected with doses intended for adults.

Suddenly things started changing positively. Ricardo Veronesi, Professor Emeritus, at the Faculty of Medicine, University Sao Paulo Brasil, together with Dr. Wolff Geisler found out that 97% of the people who have HIV in their bodies, were purposely infected with this virus, which can lead to aids.

They were made artificially susceptible was supplied to them in vaccines, drugs, blood transfusions, and food. HIV containing microbes were also found in drinking water and also insecticide spraying pools.

Smallpox vaccine was contaminated or combined with immunodeficiency SCID the precursor of AIDS. Within the continent of Africa, from west to east more than 100 million children have injected with this the vaccine in cooperation with the WHO and CDC mainly paid by the Rockefeller foundation.

Now to tell you the truth the reason Professor Johan Van Dongen’s account was suspended. He attacked the Rockefeller foundation on LinkedIn platform over heinous this crime.

This is a man who hasn’t committed any crime but because of he can’t shut his mouth over a medical crime he witnessed against humanity, he is now suffering, because he is considered a whistleblower by his government, while the criminals trying everything to cover up this crime, continue to enjoy their lives with impunity.

How can the world go free for Jesus Christ who hasn’t committed any sin to carry the cross alone? Those responsible for this crime should face justice. 

This is what they fear most, the reason they hiding behind the crime, including the World Health Organization, (WHO) responsible for CDC smallpox-measles vaccination 1967-1970, themed ‘The global eradication of smallpox.’

Whoever thinks professor Dongen is crazy should seek psychiatric help. Even an uneducated African living in the remote area without electricity will believe his story.

It will be recalled that Professor Johan Van Dongen challenged Belgium’s Professor Van der Groen’s claims that Ebola was invented in the 1960s in Fort Detrick. Because Professor Dongen proved him a liar, the article which appeared in Diplomatic Aspects Newspaper’s link miraculously disappeared from the web.
