AFRICA IS BLEEDING

 By Obianuju Lilian Ikegbune, Lagos


Africa they say is bleeding, but I say Africa has found her Voice!
Black Lives they say matters, I say Black Lives matter Every where Internationally and Locally!
May our Unity abound as our Creativity abounds.
The Generation to prove the power of online tools in galvanising offline activism is born!
It is not Just a hashtag, it is our collective voices, it is awareness! It is a movement! It is our Change! African Rising! 
World Watch Out! AFRICA IS REINVENTING

CULLED FROM MONDAY RANDOM - WHAT IS ON FLEEK

  Good day lovelies and a Happy Easter celebration, hope you all had a wonderful time out? For me it was food all the way, I hope to bring my culinary expertise here soon. So back to the matter, WHAT IS REALLY ON FLEEK? Sounds like a Rhetorical question and a direct question. Lately on Social Media the phrase, slang or word   fleek and the question what have you got on fleek has been trending, as Social media has become the new world paradigm, it would be very difficult for you to cope if you don’t understand the trends.
