@molarawood Molara, you too are using the term "Black African"? Sorry o. But I always thought it was a particularly Francophone obscenity.

Wow. Some of us used to think Ousmane Sembene's 'Borom Sarret' (1963) was the first film by a Black African.

So Paul Biya, out come your gendarmes, the troops, the killings, the curfews, the disappearances?!?!?!

And out come the gendarmes, the troops, the killings, the curfews, the disappearances.

My sympathies. Ordinary old Africans don't kill. Only tyrants kill. African leaders can be dangerously pathetic. After 36 odd years in power, with typical misrule and oppression of all Cameroonians, Paul Biya of course rejects secessionist moves by the Anglophones.

Esther, great to know you're at the Theatre Summit. Sorry I had to miss it because of huge mobility/travel challenges. If it's not completely over, please pass on my solidarity message to everyone.. And say hi to Prof. Jesse Shipley for me.

The journey of women into politics here in Ghana is fraught w/ potential violence;the violence is verbal, sometimes physical, but also financial.The threat of violence they face damages the political landscape. When we lose great women from politics, a nation loses. #MorningStarr

Severe punishments should not come into such spaces, and when they do, young people just get damaged.

Education systems are built to get the young instructed, informed, inspired, and where necessary, corrected. Severe punishments have no place in this space.

Spare the rod and spoil the child” is all fine. But wasn't that over two thousand years ago in Palestine

The only way adults often confront the slightest problem involving young people is to look for the big stick.

@Graphicgh 09/12/17 "Court quashes rustication of 22 UCC students”. The UCC students rustication debacle? In Africa, adults' response to young people's mistakes is always punitive instead of corrective.

Lola and your very able Ake 2017 team, thank you very much for my precious Abeokuta adire haul. Oshe, medaase pii

African migrants drowning at sea? Auctioned off as slaves in Libya? Why don't we put the blame where it belongs? On African leaders?
