Motherland

This seems so dope. . . . .

MOTHERLAND - A film by Owen Alik Shahadah from Halaqah Films on Vimeo.

Wawan Mutum



Seriously read THIS ARTICLE and tell me this dumbass should be in leadership. Why the hell do we continue to allow these people to lead and then we wonder why the country is not progressing the way it should. This F@#$head is also the Zamfara State governor who looted the state so completely that no one in the state was able to be paid. EFCC gets a hold of him and like the castrated organization it is they let him go cause of lack of proof, like the lack of paychecks was not enough. Oh let us not forget how he instituted Sharia Law and was one of those that sponsored and supported Muslim-Christian tensions with thousands of people being slaughtered. Now you mean to tell me he is a senator? WTF Nigeria. WTF.

The Jesus Sandals


I am pretty sure Jesus used these when he walked on water.

Joy Reguardless of Situation

When in Lagos I drive by this "settlement" all the time. When I watch this video there are so many things as a Nigerian I am embarrassed and ashamed about in this series, but I choose to see how we have joy and how ingenious we are (in this episode anyway, in the other episodes ehh not so much)

Reason for Chale Why Now Video

I am Aminchi Musa, son of Musa Asake, son of Asake Tunzwang, son of Tunzwang Turaki son of Turaki Asake. I am a member of the Bajju tribe who reside in southern Kaduna Nigeria. I have a history and a culture that I was born into, taught and raised with. It makes me like millions in the diaspora fundamentally unique. Instead of embracing this we in the diaspora strive to be like those who don't have this fundamental uniqueness. Why is that? 'Tis a slippery slope my people, 'tis a slippery slope.

----The Uncultured One


p.s. the following video is very racy i apologize in advance.

Random Thoughts By Paul Lueth (my best friend)

Two elderly American gentlemen sitting, sublime and content. In front of them a cascade of pristine water occasionally being assailed with pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and the likes. To them it is just another day. To me it is sheer opulence at its most vulgar state. After all who would throw away more than a days wage into gallons of perfectly clean water and then walk away from it without a passing thought.

Dr. Clooney, I Presume?

As Madonna's publicist explains, "She's focusing on Malawi. South Africa is Oprah's territory." It is disturbing how celebrities have carved out Africa for themselves. First the colonialist now celebrities. Na Wa. For an interactive map check out Mother Jones.

The World According to the Jokwe of Angola


Once upon a time the Sun went to pay his respects to God. He walked for many days until he found the path that led to God. Upon presenting himself to God, he was given a cock and instructed to return the next morning before he set off on his long journey back. sun slept soundly all night and was awakened by the cock, which crowed loudly. He then went to see God, who said, "I heard the cock crow, the one I gave you for supper. You may keep him, but you must return every morning." This is why the sun encircles the earth and appears every morning.

The Moon also went to visit God and was given a cock - who also woke him up in the morning. God said to him, "I see that you also did not eat the cock I gave you for supper. Well done, but come back and see me every twenty-eight days."


Man went to see God too and was also given a cock. Tired and hungry after his long trip, he ate half the cock and left the rest for his return trip. When he finally woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. He quickly ate the remainder of the cock and hurried to see God. God smiled at him and said, "What about the cock I gave you yesterday? I did not hear him crow this morning."

The man got scared and stammered, "I was hungry. . .and ate him." "It's all right," said God, "but listen: you know that Sun and Moon have been here, but neither of them killed the cock I gave them. That is why they will never die. You killed yours and so you must die as he did, but at your death you must return here." And so it is.

The top figure is God, the bottom is Man, on the left is the Sun and on the right is the Moon. The labyrinth-like path starts from and leads to God
