Dangerous Driving in Africa

Image
A Wake-Up Call on Road Safety in Africa On December 29, 2025, the world of boxing and beyond was shaken by news of a horrific car crash in Nigeria involving former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua . The accident, which occurred on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State , resulted in the deaths of two individuals close to Joshua and left the athlete himself with minor injuries. This incident not only highlights the personal loss suffered by Joshua and his team but also underscores a broader crisis: the pervasive issue of dangerous driving across Africa and other developing countries. In this blog, we'll delve into the details of the accident, the latest findings from investigations, and how it ties into systemic problems like disregarded speed limits and poor road safety enforcement.   Silence or politeness in the face of recklessness only perpetuates the problem.  Anthony Joshua, the British-Nigerian boxing superstar known for his dominance in the ring and his cha...

What Is Learned Helplessness?

Image
Learned Helplessness : Breaking the Chains in Black Communities and Africa. Learned Helplessness  is a psychological concept that describes a state where individuals, after enduring repeated adverse experiences over which they have no control, come to believe that they are powerless to change their circumstances.  This belief persists even when opportunities for change arise, leading to passivity, resignation, and a lack of initiative. The term was coined by psychologists Martin Seligman and Steven Maier in the 1960s through experiments on animals, where subjects exposed to inescapable shocks failed to escape later when escape was possible. In humans, this manifests as depression, low motivation, and a pessimistic outlook on life.In the context of marginalized groups , learned helplessness often stems from systemic oppression, historical trauma, and cultural narratives that reinforce feelings of inevitability.  For black people as a collective—encompassing African Ameri...

What Is Broke Shaming ?

Image
In 2021 I went to dinner with a mixed couple. We chose a Caribbean restaurant in Brixton, South East London. During one of the conversations I had to describe where we lived. In Gravesend. We described Gravesend as “white trash”. I noticed the expression on their face, it looked like they just swallowed turtle poop or something similar. I have had numerous occasions where I have described something I’ve done or experienced and people have had the turtle poop reaction. But why? I grew up with white Italian middle class foster parents. I went skiing in the winter and beach in the summer. We had a German shepherd as guard dog in a colonial 3 floor house with a basketball court. I’m saying this to make the point, that I’ve seen what middle class looks and feels like. The other side of the coin was that we’d go camping, do charity at the local Catholic Church where my foster parents were personally involved, we recited 50 Ave Maria’s every May for a week, and I remember we housed a family o...

How To Brainwash Millions Of People

Image
  People are becoming whatever their masters brainwash them to be. Free will has become an illusion as the majority of people just follow the herd like sheep unconsciously while the few of us stand against this zombification of the human mind. The weak are being herded into a group hypnosis. The elite are removing an individual's ability to reach self individuality. Most people don't even possess their own perceptions. All the views they have of themselves, others, and the world are programmed into their subconscious through hypnosis and propaganda. The matrix also uses tactics like shaming and FOMO to force people into a bias and herd mentality. Most people don't want to be the only one who doesn't agree with the majority or else they'll be rejected by the tribe... This is how most people make decisions and form beliefs. They don't seek to express truth, they seek to express whatever will make others accept them. The fear of judgment makes it easy for the matri...

How To Explore Your Inner Self

Image
The actual psychological personality of a person is referred to as the self of a person. Each one of us has a hidden self within us, but we are not aware of it. A human being thinks that it is his consciousness that lead his actions. Actually, our inner self guides our behavior in our day-to-day life. This self is constructed and undergoes transformation with the passage of time as we experience new things. Ego also forms a part of our inner self. It makes us fight for our own identity in the world. It stresses on an individual existence of a human being separated from others. This will make an individual proud and selfish. He will neglect certain facts, which will be an obstacle in his self-awareness and thereby degrading his self-development. Thus for the development of the inner-self, the foremost step is self-introspection. This means that an individual should look within himself and analyze his own personality. This way he will be able to make out his own strengths and weaknesses....

E-commerce is a cut throat business. You have to arm yourself with the proper know-how and the tools to make your site a cut above the rest. Each day, more and more sites are clambering to optimise their rankings in websites and if you lose your guard, you may just get trampled on and be left in the abyss filled with so many failed e-commerce sites. Search Engine Optimization or SEO is a term widely used today by many e-commerce sites.  For the past few years and the next ten years or so, search engines would be the most widely used internet tool to find the sites that they need to go to or the product or information they need.  Most people that use search engines use only the ten top search results in the first page.
