Will You Sleep With Your Boss To Get The Position You Want?


Many women sleep with their bosses to get a promotion


Many women sleep with their bosses to get a promotion.


A couple of years ago in Africa, a pastor living somewhere in the neighborhood claimed he had the power to cure barrenness and other health problems. 


Many women with diverse problems, including those looking for children without success, teamed up in numbers, all hoping and trusting this pastor, whose heart was far from God, using the Bible to prey on women who weren’t aware of his devilish plans.

Have you heard that desperate people do desperate things? Actuated by a feeling of hopelessness, having an urgent need, or finding yourself in desperate situations, what some people will do or go to extreme lengths to get whatever they are looking for will put you in a state of shock and bewilderment for the rest of your life, when you hear about it. 

An ordained pastor serving God does what God requires of him, but this fake pastor was strong enough to tell each woman seeking a ‘miraculous cure’ to have a baby to remove her underwear. 

Like King Solomon sleeping with his concubines, the pastor defiled and had carnal knowledge with every woman that came to see him. Some of the women kept the ungodly act secret, and those who thought he was a bad pastor told their husbands.

In the scorching sun, one hot afternoon, angry husbands stormed the premises of the false pastor with clubs and cutlasses. He peeped through the keyhole of the door and saw angry men behind the door, trying to find their way into the room where he had been committing his sins. 

I think that was the first time he had the vision to ask God what to do next. He opened the rear house window, jumped out, and fled for his dear life. He was never seen again.

Women face different kinds of temptations daily in society. The question is: What would you do when facing the temptation of sleeping with a boss who requests sex before giving you employment? 

Would you do it or turn away from such a person? Reference: In 2010, the US-based Centre for Work Life-Policy found that 15 percent of women, even at the executive level or above, admitted to sleeping with their boss.

Would you call that stupid when it improved their career chances? If really some women can do that to get a promotion, how do they feel, knowing that they didn’t earn that promotion through hard work?  

Yet there are many reasons experts say it is never good to have a relationship in working workplace. A lady who accepts such advances and sleeps with her boss should remember that the boss will do a similar thing again with the next female looking for a job.


There are problems in relationships, and when a relationship of such kind comes to a bitter end, who does it affect most, the boss or the lady? In my opinion, one gains a lot of respect at work when one refrains from any love affair rather than being engaged. 

Above all, the chances of losing your job are very slim. It is also known that many women give up their jobs when experiencing unwanted sexual advances from their superiors. That’s good thinking and action.

BOOK: CRIME OVER AIDS AND EBOLA EXPOSED - NOW AVAILABLE AT AMAZON


Aids and Ebola medical crimes



Aids and Ebola medical crimes



There is time for everything, a time to sow and a time to reap. It’s now time to open up crime covered up decades ago. Aids and Ebola are medical crimes against humanity. 


Just as the Germans planned to exterminate all the Jews, the same, America, Belgium, Holland, and the World Health Organization planned to depopulate Africa, with contaminated vaccines.

But not only Jews were used for horrific experiments. Gypsies, orphans, babies, mentally disabled persons, prisoners, and homosexuals were purposely infected with contaminated vaccines which cause not only various brand new diseases but also Aids and Ebola. But the majority of people affected by Aids and Ebola are black-skinned people. (Africans).

Long before the outbreaks of Aids and Ebola in Africa, the viruses responsible for both Aids and Ebola had already been created in laboratories. 

The years between 1960 and 1973, during the darkest days of the cold war in which dangerous experiments on human beings secretly done and massive polio and smallpox vaccinations were used, guided by the WHO and CDC, and mostly paid by the Rockefeller Foundation.

Not everyone has pleasure in wickedness. To avoid animal cruelty and find a substitute to carry on with his experiments, Micro-surgeon and scientist Johan Van Dongen invented the “Anastomosis Simulator” and the “Artificial Rat” and received the “Prize Alternatives for Animal Experiments” from the Ministry of Health, of the Dutch Government, at the Annual Congress of Animal Technicians, on November 3, 1993.

But his nightmare started when his native country recognized him as a whistleblower for revealing that Aids and Ebola are human-made and tested on Africans, in order to find vaccines against it for military defending purposes in two books he published in Dutch.

The Dutch government, journalists and medical establishments discouraged the sales of the books with bad reviews and finally banned them, then afterward lost his job and house. 

“The things I didn't lose were my wife, brain and the courage to continue the revealing of the truth about the real origin of Aids and Ebola” says, Professor Johan Van Dongen.

Professor Johan Van Dongen for a very long time was fighting this battle alone, until he met the Belgian – African journalist, writer, and author Joel Savage, hence; the publication of this book. 

“I am not qualified to polish the shoes of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, Marcus Garvey, Kwame Nkrumah etc; so death doesn't mean anything to me. About the truth on Aids and Ebola, no stone shall be left unturned,” says author Joel Savage. Get your copies at Amazon and find out the truth.

Barack Obama On Ebola Issue How Sincere Are You?


Barack Obama

Barack Obama



Mr. President, a couple of weeks ago, following media attacks and negative comments from people around the world, including Americans,  an article entitled “How tough is it for Obama as Black president?” was published by Diplomatic Aspects Newspaper. 


I supported you and lashed out against the Americans. From every angle, in regard to what is happening under your administration, I totally regret writing that article. I apologize to Americans.

Mr. Obama, before taking the seat as the president of America, you swore to serve the Americans and the world in truth. Please, are you sure you are living up to that promise and commitment? Can you swear that you have no idea that the Ebola virus was manufactured and tested on Black people in Congo and Uganda? 

And if at all you don’t know, are you not aware of Holland Professor Johan Van Dongen’s research in 1972, which reveals that the Ebola virus is human-made and tested on black-skinned people in Uganda and Zaire in Africa, to find vaccines against it for military defending purposes?

Scientist Johan Van Dongen

Scientist Johan Van Dongen


Since the publication of his research, are you not aware that the authorities have vowed to make his life hell, taking him to court on several occasions, rendering him penury, losing his job and house? Are you also not aware that his book he wrote in the Netherlands to let readers know about this heinous crime against humanity, has also been banned in Holland and Belgium?

Mr. Obama, do you know that on October 10, 2014, as a journalist writing for Diplomatic Aspects Newspaper in Belgium, an article on the above subject was published, and it was posted on all social websites, including Twitter, but the link to the article has been completely removed from the web without any trace? Who is responsible, Mr. President, and why are they fighting to cover up the truth or the crime?
                                                                                       
Mr. President, are you aware that a book I wrote called “Little Boygium-Wonderful Experience, revealing the indiscriminate killings of Africans at a notorious hospital called Stuivenberg in Antwerp, for body organs needed very urgently for the Belgians can't be seen anywhere in Belgium? 

Would you call me a crazy writer if I speak against the Belgian King Leopold II for killing ten million Africans in Congo, yet streets were named after him and statues built in his honour in Belgium? 

Would you call me a lunatic writer when, since the publication of my book, the death rate of Africans in that hospital has fallen completely? Yet officials of the city of Antwerp went there to investigate, pretending they didn’t know what was going on?

Mr. Obama, now I know the reason the world and your own country have lost confidence in you. You have lied about Ebola and continue to hide the greatest crime against humanity after slavery. Mr. Obama, you failed to do your job, and Professor Johan Van Dongen did it for you, but he is now suffering in silence.  

The world is falling apart, Mr. Obama, not because of the rate of crime alone, but the criminals who try to cover up the crime, like you. Where is the media? Where are they when the world needs them? 

When the rain falls, it doesn't fall on one man’s house; all those covering up the crime, sitting down without doing something significant to save the destruction of the world, will feel the impact without any escape. We should try to create a better world for the future generation, including our children.

EBOLA: Worries Over The Spread Of The Virus To Europe


A victim of the Ebola virus in Africa


A victim of the Ebola virus in Africa

Many times, scientists carry out dangerous experiments when finding solutions to problems. Some try it on animals, others choose the underprivileged people. The reason Africa has been a victim of many cruelties and human rights crimes.


However, sometimes they forget that what goes around comes around.

The following statement was given by ambulance personnel in the biggest newspaper in Holland, “De Telegraaf”, and the Television. Ebola suits are not reliable, says ambulance personnel to the Dutch newspaper “De Telegraaf” and RTL- Television.

Those suits that have to protect them against catching the Ebola virus aren't safe. Also, the gloves are not sufficient because they easily get destroyed. Even the masks they are wearing are very dangerous because they only give protection against smog, but most certainly not against the Ebola virus, they said.

According to ambulance personnel, a firefighter is better protected against a little bit of smoke than they are for Ebola. The ambulance personnel also stated that suits in other Western countries are much better...

Former Prof. Dr. Roel Coutinho of the Governmental Institute of Health and Environment stated: “It is absolutely impossible that we will see an Ebola epidemic in civilized countries."

Why a delegation to educate people on Ebola was brutally murdered in Republic of Guinea?


The Ebola virus

The Ebola virus




Ebola is spreading very fast, putting the lives of health workers also in danger. The outbreak in West Africa is rapidly claiming lives to date, prompting the World Health Organization to declare an international health emergency as more than 2,100 people have died of the virus in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria this year.




The shocking death rate a few months after the outbreak and appeals from aid organizations have prompted the American government to decide to assign 3,000 US military personnel to West Africa's Ebola-affected regions to supply medical equipment, support health workers, and treat victims of the epidemic.

Ebola is a highly dangerous disease. Highly qualified doctors and health workers are at risk if they treat infectious people without proper precautions. Thus, the need for Obama’s administration to send military personnel to help is necessary.


Often, desperate and frustrated people end up doing crazy things. In the village of Womme, outside the town of Nzerekore, in the southeast of Guinea, eight delegation members, including two journalists on a mission to educate the people about Ebola and show them how to prevent it, in a region where many lack education on Ebola, encountered their untimely death.

Many Africans hold the idea that Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was purposely inflicted on Africa by Europeans to wipe out Africans. The villagers thought the same on the Ebola issue and furiously attacked the delegation, killing them.


The origin of the Aids documentary film

“In the 1950s, American and Belgian missionaries in the Belgian colonies of the Congo widely distributed polio vaccine to a million children in a bid to wipe out the crippling disease; however, evidence now suggests that Dr. Koprowski's oral vaccine may have been tainted and that the first instances of the disease may be linked to those inoculations.

Using interviews, newsreel footage, and documented research experiments, The Origin of AIDS examines how a combination of benevolence, careless lab procedures, and the need of a desperate few to cover their tracks could have led to one of the most serious pandemics of the 20th century.” 

Watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZs1V8mpcoY. Africans have lived with this theory for years.

“It's very sad and hard to believe, but they were killed in cold blood by the villagers,” government spokesman Albert Damantang Camara said, according to Agence France-Presse.  The delegation, under the wrath of the villagers with stones and clubs, fled into the bush after the attack, according to the Guinean radio, but they were pursued and killed.

It’s unfortunate that in the midst of such an epidemic, innocent workers could meet such a horrible death. Many health workers are now known to have fled their posts, afraid to work, especially at places where the disease has killed doctors, nurses, and hygienists. The killing of the delegation is now one of the setbacks preventing health care workers from going to affected areas in Africa.

ON WHAT DAY WERE YOU BORN?


In Ghana, children are named according to the day they were born

In Ghana, children are named according to the day they were born



Ask any European his or her date of birth, the answer is given within a second, but go on further to ask, “On what day were you born?”  That’s really a tough question to answer because the day of the week on which one is born is less important to them..


In Africa, especially in Ghana, traditionally, a day of the week determines the name given to a baby. We’ve often heard that a good name is better than riches. Many are given names of great people, but for ages, Ghanaians follow the tradition of their ancestors to give names to babies.

A male child born on Sunday is given ‘Kwesi’, and ‘Akosua’ goes to a female child because Sunday in the Akan language is called ‘Kwesida ’. ‘Kodwo or Kojo’ goes to a male child born on Monday, and ‘Adwoa or Ajoa’ goes to a female child because Monday is ‘Edzuda’. ‘Kobina’ is given to a male child born on Tuesday and ‘Abena’ to a female child, because Tuesday is ‘Ebenada.’

On Wednesday, a male child is named ‘Kweku or Kwaku’ and a female child is named ‘Akua’ because Wednesday is ‘Ikuda.’ ‘Yaw’ goes to a male child born on Thursday, and ‘Yaa’ goes to a female child because Thursday is ‘Yawda, pronounced ‘Yauda.’ 

‘Kofi’ goes to a male child born on Friday, and ‘Afua’ goes to a female child, because Friday is ‘Ifida.’ Finally, ‘Ato, Kwame, or Kwamena’ goes to a male child born on Saturday, and ‘Ama’ goes to a female child because Saturday is ‘Miminda.’

In Ghana, a male child can be named ‘Mensah’ because he is the third child of his parents, and ‘Mansa’ to a third female child. This tradition of naming babies has inspired many foreigners, including Europeans and Americans, to give themselves traditional names corresponding with the day they were born.

YAHYA JAMMEH OF GAMBIA: WHY THE WEST AND AMERICA HATE HIM?


Jammeh against Europe and America


Yahya Jammeh of Gambia


Many African leaders think they have had enough of colonial masters and wouldn't like to do anything with them. Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and Yahya Jammeh of Gambia are two of them. 


They suddenly became enemies because of their views on homosexuality and the fact that the West finds it hard to deal with them.  In fact, the West and America pray to see an immediate end to the governments of Mugabe and Jammeh.

The Western media quickly find fault with the two African leaders for human rights violations and muzzling of the press, but gross human rights violations are more often witnessed in Advanced Countries than in Africa. 

Due to poverty, Advanced Countries use aid as a weapon against Africa, as they threaten leaders to accept homosexuality and all their immoralities, which have destroyed their community. 

Any strong African leader is seen as a threat, and the only way they think could subdue them is to dominate the leaders with unfriendly political issues.

Mugabe is on the list as one of the most hated leaders in Africa, followed by Yahya Jammeh. In 2008, Jammeh gave an ultimatum to gays and lesbians to leave his country, saying he would "cut off the head" of any homosexual found in the nation. 

Two years later, the European Union canceled €22 million (HK$236 million) of aid because of concerns over human rights and governance issues. Financial aid to Africa is a granted loan to pay back, so why this bluff?

The big question: Whenever any epidemic breaks out, how many people go to Africa to deal with the situation? (Thanks to those who have sacrificed their lives to help Ebola victims in Africa) Africa is a continent that has suffered a great deal. 

World leaders should understand the reason African leaders don’t trust them any longer. No one listens to the voice of an African leader; the West, therefore, shouldn’t expect African leaders to listen to whatever they say.

“What brought Britain to the Gambia in the first place? The trade in ivory because the Gambia had a lot of elephants, they ended up wiping out the elephants, and turned around and started selling Africans. The British instituted slavery. 

The only thing they left us, unfortunately, is the English language,” said Jammeh. The reason he wants to drop English as an official language in his country is.


The Gambia, as a member of former British colonies, shocked the Commonwealth by withdrawing from the 54-nation bloc, calling it ‘An extension of colonialism.’ People aren't sincere and far from the truth. 

African leaders have seen their betrayal and underestimation and wouldn't like to drive us like puppets on a string. Many believe money is what is going to solve the problems in this world, not at all. We need to love ourselves, meaning taking the plight of others into consideration to give them the love and care they deserve.

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.

HOW TO SELL YOUR BOOK WITHOUT REVIEW


A book royalty cheque


A book royalty check



One of the essential advantages of book reviews is that an author gets his or her work known to readers. It enhances and facilitates the sales of books. 


Unfortunately, the book review doesn't come easily. Thousands of authors have written great books, but due to a lack of reviews, the books are unknown. 

In the past and present, there have been debates on social websites over book reviews and whether it is right to buy reviews or not. Actually, I'm one of those authors who wouldn't pay for a review, because it's like paying a bribe or enticing someone to write about your book. 

Since paid, the reviewer will be under pressure to give a good review, even though he or she might find the book not good enough.

As a new author, I've never depended on book reviews to sell my books, because I don't want to depend on something that is not coming. So I tried something, and it worked. One of my books, 'The Passion of Reggae and African Music,' is selling well.

What I did was introduce the book on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook, and then I provided a free sample link where readers can read or download a few pages. 

The strategy worked. Those who find the book interesting purchased it. Since then I have been receiving my royalties regularly every month. The threshold of my royalty is $25, but I sometimes receive $34. 

If this strategy has worked, it may definitely work for other authors as well. One thing authors need to remember is, 'One can't put a lighted candle under a bucket, expecting it to brighten the environment. We need to find every necessary plan to sell our books.

REGGAE AND MUSIC FANS, KNOW THE LIFE AND PASSION OF YOUR FAVOURITE MUSICIANS


Interview with great musicians behind the reggae music

Interview with great musicians behind the reggae music

Musicians are seen performing daily, travelling from country to country, entertaining fans. They have a lot of fans and followers, but only a few people know about them. One particular music in which concert attracts a large audience is Reggae. 


Even though this type of music that carries a prophetic message is not heavily promoted by MTV like other music, such as R&B, pop, soul, etc, Reggae has penetrated deep into the international platform.

The only way to know the mind, life, and passion of a musician is to be close to them. My love for music led me to meet some of the great musicians behind both Reggae and African music. 

In this book, 'The Passion of Reggae and African Music' are interviews with some of the great musicians. They are Lucky Dube, Gregory Isaacs, Anthony B, Capleton, Andrew Tosh, Julian Marley, Tutu Puoane, Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti, etc.

A good product needs no publicity, yet I always try to find a way for readers to enjoy this beautiful photo-illustrated book. This book is not only for Reggae fans but for all music lovers. Below are free pages for readers.

WWE IS A DECEITFUL EMPIRE BUILT ON DISHONESTY, CHEAT AND BETRAYAL


WWE poster

WWE poster

Everyone has his or her favorite sports. Mine is wrestling, but at times it's good to ask if it's worth watching WWE. World Wrestling Entertainment, owned and managed by Vince McMahon and family, has a bad reputation, often leading to conflicts with many of its past and present wrestlers.


What I've seen so far, there is no honesty and truth in WWE. It is a deceitful empire built on dishonesty, cheating, and betrayal by Vince McMahon and his family. It is not easy to manage WWE because there is no truth, and they don't want to run it in truth.


Referees are coached sometimes to favor the administration and other wrestlers, and when one fails to do 'the wrong' the management demands, he faces instant dismissal with the words "You are fired." In the name of 'It's good for business, there is hatred and discrimination in WWE.

Daniel Bryan is one of the greatest wrestlers in WWE. He has defeated John Cena, Kane, Randy Orton, and Triple H, yet the management, out of jealousy, has failed to acknowledge and recognize Daniel as the "Face of WWE." Under the instructions of Triple H and her wife, Kane tried to end Daniel Bryan's career a couple of weeks ago.

How can WWE fans continue to have faith in the sports when the whole WWE is under a bunch of tricksters and cunning liars? The cunning Vince McMahon left nothing good for his daughter and son-in-law to follow but lies, cheating, dishonesty, and betrayal.

Birds of the same feathers flock together. Vince McMahon is a liar and a cheat; therefore, her daughter Stephanie McMahon inherited the same disease from her father, and after marrying Triple H, he also automatically became one of the treacherous, dangerous, and wicked managers in the history of WWE.

Triple H calls himself king of kings, the game, cerebral assassin, but the cowardly wrestler uses a sledgehammer, while none of the great wrestlers, The Undertaker, Shaun Micheals, Stone Cold Austin, Goldberg, Hulk Hogan, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bret Hart, etc, never used an object.

When any of the wrestlers speak against the management, they get punished in a country thriving on democracy. WWE thinks the management makes the wrestlers famous and rich, but one thing they forget is that, without the wrestlers, there wouldn't be WWE. 

I strongly believe that the controversy surrounding Vince McMahon's WWE costs his wife Linda the Senate seat despite winning the Republican Party nomination. If the managers of WWE want the public and fans to take them seriously and stop calling WWE fake, then they should quit this life of dishonesty.

BELGIUM HAUNTED, A POEM BY JOEL SAVAGE


Patrice Lumumba, killed by Belgium after losing the country

Patrice Lumumba, killed by Belgium after losing the country.




"It is Sunday morning, May 25, 2014, the day everyone has to go to the polls to vote for European and federal parliamentary institutions. This is a day I should have been happy, but I was so sad that I wrote this poem."



He was an evil king
His name was King Leopold II
He wore a sheep's clothing
And he deceived the world
As a humanitarian and kind person
He killed, tortured and maimed
Thousands of children, women, and fathers in Congo
He burned down villages and rendered children homeless.

This man was cruel than Idi Amin of Uganda
Yet the Belgians praised and rewarded him for his cruelty
They built statues and named streets after him
Without considering the crime he committed

Without taking into consideration the innocent blood he shed
Where is the justice in this world?
Belgium whatever goes around comes around
You shall surely get your reward.

Despite all these crimes against Africans
Belgium today despises Africans
They planned a system of government like Apartheid
Keeping our children to sit on the bench to watch them
Africans only eat and live without progress
How can your country progress when you act this way?
Belgium you will surely reap what you have sown.

Belgium don't forget that your country 
Was built on the blood, tears, torture, and suffering of Africans
In the name of greed, Ivory, and Rubber
The spirit of Lumumba, the one you killed, is calling for justice

The spirits of the innocent blood you shed, are calling for revenge
There isn't any escape route for you Belgium
Your crime has brought dishonour to your people and country
They don't know what shame is, that is the reason
They continue mistreating Africans

But you must remember Africa is a land of culture 
We believe in our cultural values
Belgium you will never progress and move forward
If your task is to cause suffering to others

If your task to alienate and isolate Africans  
Belgium, until you change your wicked ways
Your country would be under dark clouds
Of haunts, hallucinations, and fear.

You can't continue to bite the fingers which fed you
Belgium would have been nothing without Africa
Our children need better education and job 
I will die and go down happily in my grave

Even if you despise me Belgium
Because everyone would remember 
The name Joel Savage, the only man
Who faced Belgium squarely and spoke of its crime
While the world sits and watches, because justice is raped. 

Dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Kwame Nkrumah, Haile Selassie and all those who sacrificed their lives to bring the black man to this destination.

BELGIUM'S BIOFORM BREAD: A POOR ADVERT YIELDS POOR RESULT


Belgium's bread advert


Belgium's bread advert

Producing a quality product may involve processes that cost a lot of money, but the difficult part of it is targeting the right people or consumers for the product. That's where marketing and promotion come in.


Without marketing, one's product can be on the market for ages without progress in sales. It's therefore necessary for a producer to make the right advert to attract customers to buy that product. 

In regard to food, adverts must be done in the interest of consumers generally, because food is a commodity bought by everyone.

On my way to work, I couldn't stop laughing when I saw an advert for 'Bioform Bread' at the bus stop where to catch my bus in Antwerp. The questions in mind are "If the advert was made to generate money, or is the bread for only white people? 

The reason is, the picture of the advert shows three white people, thus telling consumers that the product is made for only white people.

In every country where there are different citizens, adverts should carry the right message for everyone to understand. This bioform bread advert is a flop. 

If they really mean business and want consumers to believe that the bread is for everyone, and also want better sales, then they should do the right thing. After all, Belgium also has great blacks in sports.

BOOK: HOW EUROPE UNDERDEVELOPED AFRICA


Underdevelopment in Africa

Underdevelopment in Africa



How Europe Underdeveloped Africa is a book written by Walter Rodney, which takes the view that Africa was deliberately exploited and underdeveloped by European colonial regimes.

Rodney argues that a combination of power politics and economic exploitation of Africa by Europeans led to the poor state of African political and economic development evident in the late 20th century. In the book's preface, Rodney praises the state of Tanzania, which had pursued the sort of Marxist political ideology that he advocated.

First published in 1972, the book was enormously influential in the study of African history.  This book was groundbreaking in that it was among the first to bring a new perspective to the question of underdevelopment in Africa. Rodney's analysis went far beyond the heretofore accepted approach in the study of Third World underdevelopment. 

Rodney had determined that the only path to truly human development and liberation for the majority of the people of his country was through the transformation of their own lives in a struggle to replace and reshape the neo-colonialist government that dominated their society and prescribed their existence. 

The decisiveness of the short period of colonialism and its negative consequences for Africa spring mainly from the fact that Africa lost power. 

Power is the ultimate determinant in human society, being basic to the relations within any group and between groups. It implies the ability to defend one's interests and, if necessary, to impose one's will by any means available.”

In relations between peoples, the question of power determines maneuverability in bargaining, the extent to which a people survive as a physical and cultural entity. When one society finds itself forced to relinquish power entirely to another society, that in itself is a form of underdevelopment.

Was King Leopold II Of Belgium Worse Than Adolf Hitler?


A book based on my life in Antwerp, Belgium

A book based on my life in Antwerp, Belgium



In 1914, when the Germans invaded Belgium during the war, they committed many grievous atrocities against the civilian population. It is estimated that nearly 6,000 Belgians were killed, and 25,000 homes and 837 communities were also destroyed. This historical fact is considered the greatest crime against humanity in Belgium.


To a country like Belgium during that period, the destruction was tough, but compared to what King Leopold II did to Congo during the colonial era, one can agree that what the Germans did to the Belgians was just the tip of the iceberg. Nevertheless, crime, whether small or big, should be punished, even though many seem to elude it.


The swift European scramble for African territory took place from the 17th century to the 20th century. 


The European Kingdoms, including France, England, and Belgium, took advantage of the cordial relationship and trust between them and the tribal chiefs and plundered the continent. Among the greediest, brutal, and savage was King Leopold II of Belgium.


Leopold colonized Congo, which officially became his personal property in 1876. Under the pretense of protecting the Congolese, the world witnessed the slaughter of men, women, and children. 


Dreaming of becoming the world’s richest king and to supply the demand for rubber in Europe for the auto and bicycle industries, King Leopold set up a reign of terror in the heart of Congo.

To produce enough wild rubber, those who failed suffered the consequences. Leopold’s men held the wives and children of the rubber tappers hostage until they brought him exactly what he wanted. 


Those unable to supply his demand had their villages burned down, men were hanged, starved to death, and others genital organs tied.


Children's hands were chopped off as punishment for late deliveries. While many were calling Leopold a murderer and seeking justice to be hanged, the Belgians were covering up his crime. 


There is no doubt that King Leopold II is the moral forebear of Adolf Hitler, responsible for the death of 10 million people, during his exploitation of the Congo, between 1870 and 1900.


The rebellious rubber tappers who tried to fight Leopold’s men were quickly defeated, and many fled to hide in the bush. Leopold told his men to go after them in the forest, giving them instructions to bring the right hand of every killed victim as proof. 


How can the world go free, and Jesus Christ, who hasn’t committed any crime, carry the cross alone? Instead of King Leopold facing punishment for his crimes, he was hailed as a great humanitarian king with statues, monuments, and streets named after him.


Sadly, Belgium has such a bad history, as a country built on exploitation, suffering, and the flow of the blood of massacred children. 

No matter how hard they try to cover up this heinous crime, this historical crime will remain indelible. What we are witnessing in Belgium today is unusual. 


Many are scared and predicting the end of the world. While many are committing suicide, others are fighting for power, yet they don’t know the hour. 


Innocent blood can’t be shed; therefore, Belgium shouldn't pretend they have forgotten about this crime. No sacrificial lamb or compensation could heal the wounds and broken spirits of the victims of Congo as a country.  King Leopold II of Belgium was nothing more than a criminal, murderer, rapist, and thief.


I think he was worse than Adolf Hitler. His statues should all be broken down, and all streets named after him should be denounced. As an African writer, I feel very privileged to write this article, because no Belgian journalist would have written it since there isn’t any true journalism in Belgium.


The truth must be spoken because it’s the only light that can conquer or overcome darkness. A Congolese holding the wrist of his child, children, victims of amputation, and a father sitting and watching the hacking of the wrist and foot of his child.

BOOK: THE SUBMISSION OF GIULIANA BY ROSALIND SCARLETT. Reviewed By Joel Savage


A book by Rosalind Scarlett


A book by Rosalind Scarlett


Reading a romance novel has never been my priority, despite my immense appetite to read, especially non-fiction books. Again, I always feel that reading romance books will be very boring since I love practical when it comes to love issues. 


Oh! Yes, I don’t waste time. But when I started reading ‘The Submission of Giuliana,’ I realized I have wasted many years by avoiding romance books.

The book psychologically stole my emotions and felt like engaging myself in a similar act. What a temptation? For a few minutes, I gave myself a pause because I don’t want to be in a state as a wishful thinker, but just after a couple of minutes, I grabbed the book again. It seems I’m already addicted to it.

Rosalind Scarlett writes “His face contented, his hands went to my breasts, kneading them as he watched me work myself into a new fever atop his cock. His eyes glimmering, he pulled me forwards and took a breast into his mouth, suckling upon it as he thrust himself under me while I was stuck immobile. 

I closed my eyes to enjoy the feeling of the sensations he was creating in my body. He leaned back again, his eyes still on me and I sat up and moved back and forth along his cock so that the pressure of him stimulated my clitoris as well as the spot near the front of my inner wall.

The sensations within me were building beautifully and soon my eyes were rolling back into my head, my body being overtaken by another orgasm, this one not as powerful as the first, but rather a succession of gently rolling waves of pleasure coursing through every fiber of my being. 

I moaned weakly, my body drifting away as though on a cloud as it seemed to go on forever and ever.”


This book can heal or restore broken relationships or relationships steering to the wrong place. It can also enhance relationships for loving couples. It’s a beautifully written novel which has encouraged me to read other romance books, I will, therefore, put this book in the category of 5 stars.

WRITERS BEWARE !: MAKE RESEARCH BEFORE SUBMITTING MANUSCRIPT


Dorrance and RoseDog are con publishers


                Dorrance and RoseDog are con publishers.

In every society, there are good and bad people. It also exists in the publishing industry. There is crime and fraud everywhere because the lazy want to be rich equally like the hard worker. 



There are some bad publishers that have built modern websites in pursuit of new writers, who aren't aware of their criminal activities and background to prey on. Two of such publishers are 'Dorrance and RoseDog.' 



They say, "Birds of the same feathers flock together." There is ample truth in this saying since Dorrance and RoseDog publishers are under one management. As an amateur writer, I failed to do my research, and the criminal history of Dorrance Publishing eluded me.

I paid a whole sum of $3,225 for the publication of two books, and they failed to publish even one book, after the six months they agreed on the contract. At the same time, they were forcing me to finish up the payment for the second book.

I disagreed because they failed to publish the first book within the six months they promised. My failure to yield to their demand provoked them to the extent that they held my books hostage and denied me every communication.

After six weeks without any communication, I had no choice but to look for another publisher to publish my books in a print-on-demand package. 


When Dorrance and RoseDog publishers saw that the books they held hostage had successfully come out through a new publisher, they wrote to me of broken the contract and forfeited my money.

Are these publishers highly recommended? Certainly not. They are simple criminals. Mr. Andrew R. Rouce is under Dorrance Publishing, while Ashley Augsten is under RoseDog Publishing. 


The crime these two publishers have committed with impunity would haunt them for the rest of their lives.

The only thing I can do to help other upcoming authors is to use this medium to warn anyone not to fall into their traps. The negative comments on the internet about Dorrance Publishing are too numerous to count, including non-payment of royalties. 

Please let's all come together to fight such crimes in the publishing industry, to create a better world for upcoming authors.

SUICIDE: Is that the ultimate remedy for life turmoil?


A victim of depression which often leads to suicidal tendencies

A victim of depression which often leads to suicidal tendencies



How would you feel as parents, when the police come knocking at your door, to tell you that “Your son committed suicide this morning on his way to school?” 


I don’t think any parent love to hear this, yet many receive reports about suicide in their homes daily. The rate of teen suicide is abnormal, leaving indelible scars on families as they try to recover.


According to teen suicide awareness statistics, every year there are approximately 10 youth suicides for every 100,000 youth, approximately 11 suicides every day and a person under twenty-five commits suicide every two hours and eleven minutes. 

Fortunately, many suicide victims survive to share their stories, with little help to stop those who have decided not to live anymore.

What is the force behind this alarming rate of teenage suicide? 

The world is constantly changing from bad to worse, as we live in an environment plagued by diverse problems and sufferings. 

The present generation teenagers are stubborn, brazenly challenging every authority including parents. Many of the youths were raised in an environment of drug violence and abuse homes, significantly affecting their upbringing.


At school students keep on bullying other students, throwing food at them if they look different from other students. Continually facing this problem daily, one is quickly driven to depression when he can’t take it any longer. 

Other factors that have increased youth suicide are the death of a loved one, serious illness, loss of hope, intense emotional pain, bitter parents’ divorce, victims of rape and other psychological problems.


Whatever problem one faces, is it right to commit suicide? As an African, I feel very comfortable when I take a few things from that continent to share. 

Despite the daily struggle, ethnic conflicts, corruption, sicknesses etc; suicide is rare in Africa. Teenagers do not commit suicide. Why? Because the Holy Bible the white man brought to Africa to deceive our ancestors, has saved Africans from that abominable act, while in Europe and America only a few know about the significance of the Holy Bible.


Abraham Lincoln said, "Train up a child in a way that he should go, and he will not depart from it.” This great quote reminds parents of their responsibilities as mothers and fathers in bringing up children. Hundreds of teenagers smoke because their parents smoke. 

You can’t tell a fourteen-year-old child not to smoke, whilst the parents smoke heavily. 

The hospital is there to solve many health problems but sometimes prayer is the right step to both psychological and spiritual healing.


Many teenage suicides could have been prevented if parents take interest to provide help, talk to their children to know what is really bothering them and find an immediate solution.
