Got this from an email sent in by a very dear friend.It's worth sharing.

WOULD YOU GO BACK?
You have this friend since Junior Secondary School and after SeniorSecondary School both of you lost contact with each other. But she is someone really special to you, and you're someone very special to her too.
Five years later you receive a phone call from her.
"Hi, I'll visit you" she says.
"Hi, Sue, when?" you ask her.
"Just wait for me" she replies.
It seems weird but you prepare for her coming anyway.
One rainy night you hear a knock on the door. And you're surprised to see that it's your friend Sue. Losing touch for ten years is so long and you start talking about everything. Then both of you even go to your room upstairs. Suddenly there is a power outage, but the two of you continue talking by candle light.
Then the phone rings.
"I'll just get the phone downstairs," you say.
"No, don't get it, we're in the middle of our talk," she says.
"It might be important," you say.
"Okay if you say so, but promise me you'll be back," she says.
You promise her a million times that you'll be back.
Then you run downstairs to answer the phone.
"Hello," you say.
"Hello," says the person on the line.
"Yeah?" you say, wondering who it is.
"I'm calling on behalf of Sue's family. They had an accident and her parents are in the hospital right now," he says.
"How are they?" you ask.
He continues, "They are injured but stable. But I'm sorry to say that Sue died. We found your name and phone number in Sue's purse...
"His voice trails off as you look up at the long stairs...

WOULD YOU GO BACK AS YOU HAVE PROMISED?

TO TED WITH LOVE

Edward Moore 'Ted' Kennedy

‘We do not weep for him today because of the prestige attached to his name or his office.
We weep because we loved this kind and tender hero who persevered through pain and tragedy – not for the sake of ambition or vanity; not for wealth or power; but only for the people and the country he loved.''

-Barack Obama,at late Senator Ted Kennedy's memorial mass

I hope that Nigerian politicians and poli-thiefcians can see through the lines of this speech

MUCH ADO ABOUT CASTER

Will Caster still have the last laugh?

Too masculine for a lady?

Caster..built for controversy?

Caster...with her school mates

Caster's birth certificate

''No one ever said I was not a girl,but here (in Berlin) I am not.I am not a boy.Why did you bring me here? You should have left me in my village at home.''
-Semenya Caster

''There is something dangling between her legs-thats obvious-and shes got an Adam apple.''

-An unamed Australian sports officer

''From the time she could walk,Caster only wanted to play with boys,Her three elder sisters wore dresses as little girls do,but Caster refused.She has never had a skirt,only trousers.

I knew she was different to the others and even now if you speak to her on the telephone,you might mistake her for a man.But I used to change her nappy and I know she is a woman.What better proof do people need?''

-Jacob Semanya (Caster's father)

''She never had a boyfriend.She doesn't like boys.But that doesn't mean she is not a girl.''

-Deborah Morolong (Caster's best childhood friend)

''Some schools,suspecting that she was not a girl,even demanded that her status be checked.But each time they returned from the toilet,she would be cleared...we would ask her why they had taken her to the toilet and she would just say ''they are doubting me'',without explaining further.''

-Moloko Rapetsoa (Caster's school teacher)

''She comes from me.I gave birth to that girl,she came from my womb..its my girl.''

-Dorcus Semenya (Caster's Mother)

AT MADONNA'S MERCY

Madonna with Mercy and David in Paris recently

David and Mercy James

Remember the controversies that almost stopped pop Icon,Madonna from adopting those children from Malawi? I have followed the lives of these kids with so much keen interest since they moved in with Madonna and I know their lives just couldn't have been better off for it.Seeing a recent picture of the two kids in an outing in Paris I just concluded that these kids were destined by God to escape the tragedy that life in Malawi would have unleashed on them.For Mercy James,it is quite true that some few months back getting to eat a nice meal at the orphanage where she was kept in Malawi was almost a mere wish.But today,this little kid is having the entire woprld at her finger tip.This speaks so much of the ways of God.You just never know what He has in stock for you next moment.

Keep the faith.

BIAFRA IN GHANA.

Who say Nigeria was not well represented in Ghana during President Obama's visit? Some groups of Nigerians were there with placards and flags in support of Biafra.But what I don't understand is how the Biafran issue concerns Obama and Ghana. Just like the Hausa proverb that goes thus;ina ruwan Angulu de kiso

? What is the Vultures business with hair plaiting?
