May all those who have been affected find contempt in one way or the other. This is the world we live in. Scientist have come up to explain that one of the reasons why the fires of California have been so wild is because of global warming. All attributed to climate change. Live while you can for when you will have a problem, some will still believe you don't. So has been the talk of climate change which today has brought out it's ugly consequences on beautiful California. What a pity? When you live,  know that some people care but also know that in a nutshell, nobody cares for mankind will end up consuming themselves. The world came together and formed the so called United Nations (UN) to help check itself of it's excesses.  How has that worked out till today? do the wildfires in California not tell a different story? What are we going to be talking about now? Global warming? Hunger? Wars? Migration?  World super power?  Or better still who shall we be talking ab...

Most individuals get scared of death or even fear/avoid talking about death because of the thought of having to leave their love ones, their accomplishments and the pleasures this life offers. This I completely understand but then one has to ask about others who die at ripe old ages, who openly accept death, those who have been told by medics that they have just a few days, weeks, months, or years to live. These people prepare themselves though not willingly. Think of a soldier who is going to war knowing he may not come back because his chances of living are going to be greatly decreased or someone about to commit suicide. Great, now that you have all these scenarios about death in your head right now, let’s see what man has concluded about death.  Wikipedia (the online encyclopedia) describes death as “the cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism”. And it goes further to say bodies of living organisms like you and me begin to decompose shortly after...

Exploring space is a task that most countries don't venture into probably because of the budget involve. Well, a go around in this budget hurdle is to do joint programs like those NASA does with countries like Russia, Japan, Germany and the EU. If you doubt me, then I will say take a look at the International Space Station. When you look at countries in Africa with a space program, you can barely see any but South Africa does stand out. Here is another department Africa is lagging in but the question will be why should this continent indulge in space programs when they are seen as poor people and they have accepted that crazy idea.  Not to talk politics, if African countries were well managed by those who claim to be patriots, then we should be up there racing in front or alongside China, Russia, and while not the USA only if we came together with the African Union. The continent does not lack the scientist or the engineers.  All the continent has are just a few countries l...

Charles Darwin's theory of evolution for most Christians is against what the Bible says.   I think otherwise and believe the theory of evolution tries to some extent with the creation story of the Bible about humans. I will plead with all reading this to agree not to disagree that God transcends space and time as we know it and the creation story of 6days is what we humans know today as about a 13billion-year-old universe and 4.5billion-year-old planet Earth.   Ask yourself that why would the earth be this old and humans scientifically originated about a million years ago? This question finds its answer with the theory of evolution put forward by Charles Darwin. Late Stephen Hawking and other top scientist have come to conclude that the universe had a beginning and we as humans have no evidence of what it was like before this beginning so we cannot completely refute the creation story of the Bible even though we can question it's interpretation as I have explained below. ...

Sexual harassment, sex scandals, sex, sex, sex.................sex robots It's amazing how the human body works. It's very common for you to hear people say I went out of control. Have you heard the word hormones before? Then you will understand why people at times can't control themselves.  But is this an excuse? Maybe say to sexually harassing somebody, no chance. Our body makeup has given us the mind and brain as superiors to these hormones.  Man is a very interesting species, for those who have self-control when it comes to sex, you have to give them a bonus because it shows how they have trained themselves to not be slaves to their bodies. Why does the pornography industry sell so much? Sexual drive When Edward Snowden leaked secrets of the CIA's spy activity, we all saw again how politically minded people were being tracked to uncover their sexual activities to use it as some form of leverage on them during political negotiations because those victims of sexua...

As a young scientist, and one very versed with religion especially Christianity, there is certainly something about nature that intrigues me. When I studied that the earth was about 4.5billion years old, questions ran through my mind and the answers to those questions are only answered when you look at things out of the physical. I was not surprised when I learned the famous Sir Issac Newton practiced alchemy, and for N. Tesla to tell the science world that they will achieve more if the plunge into studies of the non physical, I began to realise that it is not all we see. I find it funny for people to believe in voodoo, karma, witchcraft, sorcery etc and then deny God, but more so be unwilling to question the non physical. Every law of physics we know today are phenomenons that have and will always be. We just discover them. Nature is a complex aspect but those who understand some secrets of nature are seen as special people because they can play with it and do things out of the...

Humans themselves are a funny set of animals in the animal kingdom. We pride ourselves by the fact that our brains are well developed and yet we are a more disorganised set than ants. Going down memory lane, we see things  like  sicknesses, slavery, religions, gender inequality, homosexuality, child labour, terrorism etc. These are all man's idea that have become realities and makes you wonder what is wrong with some people.

When you ask your self where did we first come from, you seem to just conclude that we were all given birth to. Have you taught of who gave birth to your great,great great etc, grandfather? Sure yes but you can obviously not over concern your self with that. If you believe that everything that has a beginning does have an end, then you should allow your brain wonder and you will begin to know where we are all headed. A lot has happened and more is still to happen. Scientist have crafted theories as to how all we see including ourselves came to be and I will say as a scientist that non of these our theories are a 100% certain of how we came to be. But we scientist have been able to correctly prove that the sun will die someday and when this happens, all the planets including our very own earth will cease to exist. Do not be afraid for this will take like 5billion years and you reading me will be long gone. Religions and Science guides our every beliefs and you're either with o...

We all make choices, whether to be happy, angry, sad, joyous etc. Mankind was created with that ability to choose. You alone hold the keys to your happiness or sadness and what ever mood manifest itself, is as a result of the choice you make. Nowadays people think am a robot programmed to be happy, but that's not the case because I have chosen to remain happy whether heartbroken, betrayed, mourning etc. I just decide how I feel. It is an installed ability in every human being. Even the most popular book (the Bible) in its very first chapter speaks of free will which boils down to making a choice. Yes, you must make that choice all by yourself and avoid people determine and shape how you feel and whether to cry or laugh. It has to be you and you alone.

Dancing in Cameroon has always been an informal thing with very little interest in it. A lot of factors like money made it so. Keeping aside the cultural associations that do carry out traditional dance training, there is no single institution that offers dance as a course or subject whereas this is taught in other countries and students enroll into universities just to read for a degree in dance. Short traditional dance by Bamenda people called ejiangi With the Cameroon music industry in a renaissance now, a lot of people are now getting involved with dance as few theatres are opening up, and most music stars are identifying themselves with particular dancers. Dance as a profession is what some people are thinking of and we have one of Cameroon’s best dancers in the person of Aline Snuff, for her stunning displays with famous Cameroonian star Mr . Leo . This lady is pursuing a career in dance and many of her peers are beginning to look up to her as they now see that dancing pays...

Black Panther portrays an image of Africa that some Africans will love to see in real life. Wakanda is certainly a country everyone will like to be part of.  But my opinion here is not fully on the movie but rather what impact or message the movie has for the black community.  Black Americans now feel like a movie of theirs is going to be hitting hard on the box office where they are not represented as thugs, slaves, or the bad ones. Is this a positive move for or by Hollywood? I think so. I believe we all should embrace Black Panther for the morale of the film is super cool. Given that most black Americans do not usually like to be associated with Africa, their love for this movie shows that they cannot run away from their roots. The word racism for most people in general often gives a demarcation between whites and blacks and it becomes funny to be a black and deny or refuse to be reminded that you are linked to Africa. How funny this is can be demonstrated by the lo...

Why African youths continuously flee from their continent both legally and illegally is just a matter of understanding how life operates on the continent. Institutions have been created that train youths to graduate and go look for jobs rather than create the jobs. Political systems designed to eat all the meat and throw away the bones leave the youths with nothing. Government officials steal the states money together with their presidents and go on vacations to Europe, save the money in banks abroad, take sick leaves to Europe and the US, send their children and family members to the best schools abroad etc. It is worth noting that the African continent is still very unexplored and unexploited in terms of mineral and human resources and some so called first world countries continue to carry out trade with these African nations thus do all they can to keep their presidents and their regimes in power as long as these trade agreements are respected which is why presidents who oppose ...

Feel and show some concern for the families that have lost their love ones in the Florida High School shooting. I choose to talk about this very much because I feel the pain as if it was my immediate family. Now the Governor of Florida together with the mayor and sheriffs are going about talking gun control laws, these are all politicians and we know what to expect from them. Is it too much to cry out for stricter gun control laws? Though it is written in the constitution of the United States that “the right of the people keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”, it is a constitution designed to protect the people and if this protection cannot be guaranteed by any article of the constitution, then something failure steps in. According statistics by www.statista.com, conservative estimates of fire arms in the US suggest that there exist83 privately owned firearms for every 100 people in the country making the United States the most heavily armed civilian population in the world....

May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace, we again witnessed another sad day on February 15, 2018 this time at a renown high school in Florida. I am not going to start a debate on gun laws again but I will just want to reiterate that while shootings like this have become a norm, people’s greed is what wins at the end of the day.  The world has become a controlled entity by some greedy families, fake politicians and above all fake religions filled with lies. People will cry and become terrified by these shootings but afterwards, absolutely nothing is done to prevent further happenings again. Presidents like Donald Trump will come up and say the entire America weeps for these losses but all are just lies, none of the money guys cares. On their funeral days, some pastors and preachers will come and add the lies about saving their souls and paving a way into heaven for them. All lies and continuous lies, nobody cares, the governments make millions from these gun stores and...
