Donald Trump's view on some African people!!!


Wow! This is serious stuff coming out of US business magnate Donald Trump. He referred to some Africans as lazy fools only good at eating, lovemaking and thuggery. Speaking in Indianapolis, he articulated his seriousness in deporting Africans especially those of Kenyan origin including their son Barrack Obama. This is some of what he said:

“African Americans are very lazy. The best they can do is gallivanting around ghettoes, lamenting how they are discriminated. These are the people America doesn’t need. They are the enemies of progress. Look at African countries like Kenya for instance, those people are stealing from their own government and go to invest the money in foreign countries. From the government to opposition, they only qualify to be used as a case study whenever bad examples are required. How do you trust even those who have ran away to hide here at the United States hiding behind education? I hear they abuse me in their blogs but I don’t care because even the internet they are using is ours and we can decide to switch it off from this side. These are people who import everything including matchsticks. In my opinion, most of these African countries ought to be recolonized again for another 100 years because they know nothing about leadership and self governance” Explained Donald Trump bitterly as he illuminated how he plans to reconstruct America and restore its lost glory.

“I promise to make America great again by restoring our dignity that we have since lost through Obama. The more reason why I still believe that he, and his Kenyan brothers and sisters should be deported back to Kenya to make America safe”

Some very offensive words spoken there. I bet Donald trump will not lose any sleep on this or what people think about his statement. Some aspects of what he mentioned such as laziness is not indicative of a particular race neither is it indicative of a particular country. 

But oh dearie me!! In as much as what he said is not PC and is very offensive, I kind of agree that there is some truth in some of what he said. For example, 
'Look at African countries like Kenya for instance, those people are stealing from their own government and go to invest the money in foreign countries'. 

This is true of most African countries. It pains me to agree with some of the points made by this man. African government will have to sit up. They are busy looting the wealth of their countries and investing the money in foreign countries.

Look at Africa with its vast natural and human resources. It is now used as a case study for poverty and development initiatives. We are busy killing each other in the name of religion, ethnicity, culture, corruption etc. 

For every African leader in power that looted the funds of it's people, shame on you. You are all part of the reason Africans are humiliated. Why you may ask? That money belongs to the people and should be invested in education, infrastructure, development, science and technology etc.

Breast Ironing?

According to a UN report, there is a widespread practice in African countries such as Cameroon, Nigeria and South Africa. It is called Breast ironing. Breast ironing is described as the brutal flattening of a young girl's developing chest to 'protect her from rape and sexual harassment'. Instruments used in this practice includes the use of large stones, a hammer or a spatula that has been heated over hot coals to compress or mutilate the breast tissue and make the adolescent look less 'womanly'. It is reported that the girl's mother is usually the abuser in 58 per cent of cases. The rationale for this practice is to prevent girls from developing breasts between 11 and 15 years old in the belief that a flat childlike appearance will discourage unwanted male attention and premarital pregnancy. The mother often warrants the ritual, removing signs of puberty, so her daughter can pursue education for longer rather than being seen as 'ready for marriage'.

This is shocking and news to me. It is great that the UN is exposing such practice. I am a bit sceptical about some aspects of this report. I also question the research methods used. This whole practice is strange and as an African descent, I have never heard of this practice. Puberty is fully encouraged and supported in many African countries. I am very interested to know which communities in the countries mentioned in the report practices this horrendous tradition. This practice needs to be stopped by government, civil society and non-governmental organisations immediately.

Rihanna's nose ring

I have seen some people with similar nose rings. I love Rihanna's style. I am afraid that many people are copying this style without appreciating if it fits their facial features.

Trending now- Backlash on cartoon of a six-year-old Syrian girl


This is the caption:
"I want to live a safe and clean life, eat gourmet food, go out, wear pretty things, and live a luxurious life… all at the expense of someone else," "I have an idea. I'll become a refugee."

 Absolutely appalling!! To think this is what some people think refugees are after. To use a picture of a little girl and convey this message is totally out of order!! 

Doctor Foster- what an incredible finale!!!

This TV series is one of the best series ever!!! I was gripped by every second of yesterday's final episode. I was in tears and almost could not breath waiting to see what happens next. A quick recap for those who do not have a clue what the series was about. It is about a doctor who finds out that her husband was having an affair. There are lies, betrayal and tears.

Oh the thoughts that were swirling around my head. How I wish no one goes through the pain of ever being betrayed by the person that should be loving and protecting them. The program shows the devastating effects cheating has on a family especially when children are involved. 

A part of yesterday's episode hit a nerve. I felt it when Doctor Foster's son tells her that  she works all the time, always tired to play with him, she is no fun and never around. I was in the chair crying. 

I am a working mother and I work so hard to make sure that the bills are paid, my children have some necessities and can get by. A family is a team and it takes the two parties to work as a team to keep the family as a unit. So baby, maybe mum works so hard, but that lovely house, car, gadgets you have was paid for through mummy's hard work. It made me think and I promised my self that in the quest for exceeding in my career, I will carry my family with me. I do not ever want my family to suffer my absence. I want to be very much present  in my children's lives, play with them, nurture them and love them. It may be challenging but has to be done. If not anything, the series Doctor Foster was very thought provoking. Loved it!! Well done to the writer, casts and everybody that made this fantastic series!!

Woman pleaded guilty to having sex with a dog last year


A woman has pleaded guilty to bestiality after performing a sex act with a dog to please her male lover. The woman, who is said to be a former Gold Coast university student, pleaded guilty to bestiality in May 2014.

She was filmed having sex with a dog after she responded to a Craigslist advertisement put up by a man seeking a woman who would carry out sex acts online.

Mum accused of injecting 14-year-old daughter with heroin

A woman has been reported to have injected her 14-year-old daughter and another teen with heroin, even tying a string around their arms to isolate their veins. Her boyfriend even supplied the kids with drugs.



Babysitter had sex with 11-year-old and escapes jail after the boy's own father defended her in court

I just felt so sick after reading this. This is so so wrong in all ramifications!!! I feel so sorry for this young boy and hope he gets all the help he needs.




Jade Hatt



Jade Hatt, 21, had sex with an 11-year-old boy she was supposed to be looking after. It was reported that when Jade arrived at the boy's place, she sat on top of the him, sat astride him, took off her clothes and removed his.
'Sexual intercourse took place. It was said that she told him she enjoyed it, he said he had not as it was wrong.'

The boy's father, who is also Hatt's ex-lover, claimed his son was 'fully up for this experience' as he pleaded for the babysitter to be spared jail over the 45-second sexual encounter.

A father indeed!! How can he take this woman’s side over his 11 year old son. Even if the boy acts more mature than his age, he is still a child. I weep for this kind of situation.

What would make a grown female to actually want to have sex with an 11 year old child? Crazy world we live in!! I am absolutely shocked by this and other stories like this!!!
