Embracing the challenge: How enemies can reveal your true importance

We can become anxious and frustrated when things don't go our way. However, have you considered why, even though it is past due, your manager did not offer you the promotion you deserve? Have you ever questioned why, although you haven't broken any law, forces are against you?

Have you ever wondered why your coworkers are always watching you and never appreciating the work you do, even though you know how truthful you are? I believe that rather than worrying, you should thank God for putting you in such a situation, since it shows that you are unique among millions of people.

 

People who do not contribute to the advancement of humanity or the growth of the populace are labeled lazy by society. However, you'll be shocked to learn that if you put in a lot of effort to achieve something important that others couldn't, you'll have thousands of opponents who want to destroy you.

 

Brothers and sisters, I will always share my experience to inspire others if it might be helpful, despite the fact that I am neither a scientist nor a psychologist. I was raised in a Christian home where my parents believe that everything that goes against the Bible is sinful, even being lazy.

 

My religion teacher talked about Israel and other biblical nations in class as though they were all in heaven. My teacher explained our scriptures as if Jerusalem and all the other cities in the Bible were all in heaven. I had reached a certain age before I realized that all the cities were on the earth.

 

However, what irritates me is when individuals or groups believe they have the authority to control your life and make it the fake existence they desire. To fit their egos and selfishness, they seek to alter your identity so that you might abandon your sincere beliefs and turn into a liar. That's not what I'll do, and please, don't submit to that.

 

If having money or being rich could provide a man with all the happiness he needed, why do we read about millionaires, the wealthy, and the famous committing suicide? If a man gains the entire world and loses his soul, what good is that? After nine months in our mother’s womb, we came into the world empty-handed; the same way, we shall return to the dust by leaving behind everything. 

 

I was thrown skyward and landed on the bonnet after being struck down by a moving car at the speed of 50 kilometers per hour, but I made it out alive. I made a mistake and went farther into the sea, even though I don’t know how to swim, and the sea took me away as helpless people watched the scene. Then a powerful wave swept me onshore. I was so stunned that I walked home naked without wearing my clothes.

 

All of these situations could have killed me, yet I lived, and they helped me realize that, even though I can’t change this world, I have a purpose here on Earth. Therefore, whatever happens to me benefits me since I can endure everything through Christ, who strengthens me. Please, help make this world a better place for our children.

 

WHY IS POLITICS ALWAYS A DIRTY GAME?

Donald Trump: Would he survive to be America’s next president after sex allegations scandals?

The mouth that said ” Hosannah! Hosannah!! Hosannah!!! Here comes Christ, the Redeemer, who was the same mouth that said, Crucify Him! He is a traitor.”

That’s the same scene in politics every day, every time, without a change. In politics, a good person can bear false witness against you because he or she doesn’t want you to win.

In politics, you can have a lot of enemies even though you haven’t hurt them in any way, but just because they don’t like you.

The world used to be interested in America’s politics, as a great nation in many things, including evil, but the past and present ugly scenes in America’s politics have made many people worldwide lose interest.

Since Donald Trump won the Nevada Republican caucuses by a huge margin, chalking up his third straight triumph in the party’s presidential nominating process and building momentum ahead of a critical multi-state, many are upset and wish to cause his downfall.

After insults, funny cartoons, dirty images, stupid jokes, etc, the Republican nominee now faces many accusations of sex scandals, something that no one is expecting to hear.

The question is: Why do women with bitter experiences involving sexual harassment always wait till someone is shining in his endeavors before they come forward to blow their horns?

I am neither defending Trump nor calling any woman a liar, but the simple question is: Why now, ladies?  So do we have to believe you or Trump?

In America’s political history, no leader was or is a saint. Many did horrible things or lied in the name of democracy, but now American citizens and the media are those that are now creating a different political scene in America.

I am not interested in America’s politics, but frankly speaking, if I were an American, I would never waste my vote on the wife of Bill Clinton.

SURPRISING INVINCIBLE ENEMIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Will Smith


The internet or social media is the right place as a groundbreaking interactive marketplace and also an essential tool for people to access information and services, right?

By the influence of the social media, we can now see the world through our windows, and enjoy effective and quick communication if the one lives thousands of kilometers away, but alongside its many valuable resources, social media is occupied by an invincible brood of vipers, whose aim to make sure that you never reach the top, hateful contents, offensive materials, black heart and treacherous people known as social media friends.

Frankly speaking, I wasn’t aware that social media has its dark sides until I started writing. In a society where ‘birds of the same feathers flock together,’ you are not accepted if you look different. If that group is saying that the ‘blue’ colour is ‘black,’ you need to agree with them to stay in the group.

Jesus said, “The truth shall set you free,” but in this present generation, the truth will give you many worries, discomfort, and create a lot of enemies for you. 

I have said over and over that I may live in Europe for many years, but holding a European passport doesn’t change my way of thinking, culture, and identity. I am a hundred percent true-born African and proud to be an African.

Since I’m an African, my writings will reflect on my culture and issues affecting the African continent, which many European and American journalists will not do. 

This is what many have failed to realize. Thus, writing the truth about Aids and Ebola shouldn’t generate hatred, because I’m an African, not European or American.

There are hundreds of scientists in this world who are aware that the viruses of Aids and Ebola are biologically prepared as bio-weapons and tested on Africans by the Americans, yet only one scientist, the Dutch Johan Van Dongen, revealed the truth, and it cost him dearly. 

After losing his job as a lecturer at the University of Maastricht, he became an enemy, and his profile was deleted from the social media site ‘LinkedIn.’

European and American journalists write distasteful and degrading articles about Africa, yet when an African writer reveals their weaknesses, corruption, inefficiency, racism, hypocrisy, and their devilish plans against Africa, then everyone becomes angry. 

Thousands of Europeans and Americans commit suicide daily, if an African writer suggests, Europeans and Americans should learn from Africa how they have survived persecutions, diseases, long before the white man’s medicine was discovered, then everyone is angry.

Recently, in United Voice News Magazine, a journalist wrote, ‘9 Out Of 10 Americans Would Perish Without Power For Over A Year If ISIS strikes.’ 

I pointed out that this is a total disgrace to Americans if they will depend on electric current to survive, knowing that there are thousands of villagers in Africa who have never enjoyed light before since they were born, yet they are the healthiest and happiest people on earth. 

From school, they learn, read, and write with the help of only kerosene lanterns. I’m back in what I have repeated over a hundred times. Are Africans tougher and stronger than Europeans and Americans?

When it comes to issues about Africa, only a few people are interested, but learning something from Africa, regarding survival and discipline in schools, will be beneficial to Europeans and Americans if they put pride behind them. 

Frankly speaking, without any ammunition, guns, or war tanks, Africa will defeat Europe and America if they stand toe to toe in a physical fight, because Africans are physically strong.

Africans don’t need the power to live or survive. They already had a long life span without electricity, before the vaccine against malaria was discovered, and before they were hit by medical crime at the hands of Europe and America.

Africa needs support, healing, and development, not underdevelopment and depopulation, because that rejected continent will one day be a haven for Europeans and Americans. What will prompt them to flee hasn't come yet.

Dandara: A Great Black Woman That Made History

Dandara


It’s our responsibility to dig out great stories of black history. Many are racists because of your color, black, but during the First and Second World Wars, White soldiers painted their faces black to avoid detection by enemies. 

Many blacks survived because their enemies hardly had a glimpse of them. This is a short story of one of the greatest black women fighters in black history.

Dandara was an Afro-Brazilian Woman, a Warrior who lived in the 1600s. She was a co-founder of Palmares, a runaway slave community (quilombo) that thrived for almost a century.

Bravely, she fought alongside Zumbi and others, defending the freedom of her people and her community. Palmares was eventually overthrown by Dutch and Portuguese colonizers, but rather than return to slavery, Dandara took her own life as an act of resistance.
