  There is an adage that says that you cannot have two captains on a ship. Not really, that there cannot be two captains on a ship; after all, you always have more than one in a plane. You can have two captains, but they cannot command the ship at the same time. That makes sense because having two captains commanding a ship at the same time can lead to unnecessary confusion and perhaps havoc. You may have more…

Is it not surprising that most ladies are now making a mad rush to the salon to have their hair chopped? Well, the Alpha male is now dictating that Femme fatale is short natural hair.

We learn from them in order to make our lives worth living and purposeful. However, not everyone can cope with these inevitable problems in life. While some people can successfully take care of their life obstacles, others are overwhelmed by them. A good reason to go online and seek a…

As I child, I once asked my father who was happily married for sixty years, what the secret behind his happy marriage was. He studied me for a long time.

While Jean-Pierre Bemba’s supporters have backed his presidential ambition in elections due this December, President Joseph Kabila’s camp is more or less, in political hypertension.
