:::The Better Life...:::

The search for a better life…is not a one man pursuit. It is a global thing. The race for greener pastures has its woes…! We all see it on TV, we hear it on the radio and some read about it from newspapers and social medias; the number of people risking their lives as a result of poverty in developing countries is on the rise despite all the setbacks and risks on this journey.  Melilla and Lampedusa etc. I have heard many did make it in Europe, Asia, and America. I have seen lots of people fulfilled and satisfied that they took the risk. At the same time…many have perished in the course of this struggle. At one stage, it does not matter what kind of visa u crossed the ocean with…the bottom line is…in our daily struggle we are all searching for a better life. Some have a blurred imagination of what the reasons may be to warrant such tough decision. To undergo such inhumane conditions, with no guarantee that the goals we seek will be attained, tha...

Events… Events….Events!!! Childhood memories…“fine vegetables come and buy, mangos fresh come and buy. Fresh fish, dry fish come and buy….” it goes on and on.  This is the memory I have of my childhood days… when sent to the market. Amid the shouting and noisy crowd, we still found our way through and got all the ingredients mama needed for her soup. Then it was normal, nothing special. But today it’s   a wonderful memory I cherish, not only because the food stuff were first class organic products , some straight from the farm or sea, or because there were varieties, a colorful mixture of what mother earth, from its generous abundance gave.  It is a pleasant memory because those disorganized market rows, shouting from the market women and men, colorful products, harmonized and gave the perfect picture I have today of my Africa. And that picture makes my shopping at, EDEKA, ALDI, LIDLE, CARREFOUR, REAL you can name them, bearable…You are ...
