Picture of the week

Former President Bill Clinton bows as President Barack Obama walks on stage after Clinton's address to the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., on Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2012.

Food for thought, my people around here we say "Oyinbo no get respect" the west do not have respect. Former President Bill Clinton has just proved us all wrong.

Former president of South African Nelson Mandela also did it for his Former President Thabo Mbeki. He patiently waited for President Mbeki during the celebration of his birthday and rose in honour of a man that headed the government of the Republic of South Africa.

Respect transcends culture, boundaries and the colour of our skin.

Our leaders must learn from this, we the followers must also pick something from here too.

Bill Clinton is a rear leader.

 

Hero of the week

Michelle Obama

Mrs. Michelle Obama does not see herself only as the American first lady but she always describe herself first and foremost as Maila and Sasha’s mom.

But before she was a mother -- or a wife, lawyer or public servant -- she was Fraser and Marian Robinson's daughter.

The Robinsons lived in a brick bungalow on the South Side of Chicago. 

Fraser was a pump operator for the Chicago Water Department and Marian stayed at home mother who raised Michelle and her older brother Craig together with her husband.
