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, that 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 the diversity of culture. My utterly 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 reflects 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 American tourists. The books will teach you how to avoid being a victim of thieves, armed robbers, and immigration crooks, who prey on nationals and foreigners, while the European 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 their humorous part too. Explore the humane, captivating, and emotional account of Joel Savage's books, which will keep you turning the pages late into the night. 

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

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 the 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 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 are 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, leads many to think that 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 it 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.

How I Met Professor Johan Van Dongen: The Dutch Scientist Who Revealed Aids And Ebola Were Medical Crimes Against Africa


Dutch scientist and Micro-Surgeon Johan Van Dongen


Dutch scientist and  Johan Van Dongen


Since I share every article I write on social media platforms, I have got several readers, writers, and authors interested in my articles, but I had no idea that there is a Dutch scientist who reads every article I share on LinkedIn’s social platform.

YVONNE MASERUMULE: HER WORLD OF FANTASY, REALITY AND INSPIRATION FROM NELSON MANDELA

Yvonne Mahlape


Yvonne Mahlape


Imagine a world without books, poets, authors, and writers. How is it going to be? Many writers, scientists, and people from all walks of life continue to change the world with their wisdom and philosophical ideas.


Technology is improving daily, gradually enhancing education and our environment, giving us hope for a better world in the future.

One aspiring young writer who is gradually making her presence felt in the world of literature is Yvonne Mahlape Maserumule. Born and raised in Phokoane, Limpopo, she currently lives in Acornhoek, Mpumalanga Province in South Africa.

At a very tender age, she has always been fascinated by magazines and various works of literature.  The English language rates as one of her best subjects in High School, where she especially fell in love with the literary work of Shakespeare, Stephen King, Danielle Steel, and many other authors of high caliber. 

During her high school years, her outstanding creative abilities were quickly noticed, and in her final academic year in 1992, her short story, SCHOOL DAYS, was published in Drum Magazine.

Her then Headmaster at St Mark's College (Jane Furse, South Africa), Mr. Peter Anderson, was a great fan of her writing abilities and encouraged her to consider a career that would enable her to unveil and promulgate her God-given writing talent. 

She's currently developing a blog titled: ‘My world of fantasy and reality, in which she acknowledges, among others, the late former President of South Africa, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, who has been her inspiration. 

Yvonne also blogs on issues that are of common human interest, such as SUBSTANCE ABUSE and its impact on households. On 19th June 2014, Dr. Yomi Garnett broadcast a Radio Promo celebrating the creative abilities of this young lady live from the studios of VOICE AMERICA in Phoenix, Arizona

She has recently established a strong relationship with creative people in the field of writing, such as Jeannie Faulkner Barber, Marta, and Merajver Kurlat, who have been tremendously supportive of her writing career in its infant stage.

One of Yvonne's aspirations is to launch a Christian blog, through which she hopes to share the love of Christ with her current and future contacts. 

She is also working on a collection of short stories that she hopes to publish very soon, either in print or online. Apart from her writing career, she enjoys collaborations and is involved in various volunteering projects that involve working with and aiding the impoverished, the homeless, and the sick. 

One of her greatest passions is working in children's ministries and teaching young ones about the love of Christ.  She is therefore hoping to enroll in courses related to Social Work in the near future, to enable her to establish a career in this field.
