It’s not my first time in Europe but certainly my first time in England and Oh boy! What a coincidence! I’m here at a time when United Kingdom is deciding on whether to stay or leave the European Union. I am in London at the invitation of the Queen as a member of the International leadership pogram-ILP UK to learn more about British politics and culture. A little over a week here and not much of this historic referendum plays out in visible sign posts, placards or billboards that characterises African campaigns. It is more of the battle of ideas- here in London you would be struck by the never-ending conversations especially in the British media whether to remain in the EU or to exit. In coffee shops, on television or the radio two words that you cannot miss are Brexit and Bremain! Brexit refers to those who want the UK to leave the European Union whiles Bremain stands for those who want to keep the status quo. To illustrate how serious the debate has been, a l...

After visits to the 'temple' of the holy virgin Mary; the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus was reputed to have prayed whilst his disciples slept; after being struck by the horrors of the past kept in present day Holocaust History Museum in Palestine; after getting a pass at me and oo a marriage proposal from a man nearly my father's age who claimed to have seen Jesus while tendering the flowers in the Garden of Gethsemane, it was time for food during the most famous visit to the holy land of Israel.

It wasn’t so bad for me though because there were days with rice, shrimps, pasta and other familiar menu. While some team members had some challenge with the menu, th...

I have been hit-on by many men and 'bounced' several others but the last thing i expected was to be proposed to by the gardener of Gethsemane- Fayez, the same man who was supposed to have seen Jesus Christ. And don't ask me what my answer to him was. Ever since my last article I been asked a lot of questions regarding my interaction with Fayez and  what exactly he saw at this place where Jesus Christ prayed and shed tears of blood while his disciples slept. Well you may or may not believe Fayez actually saw Christ, but here are his words "two years ago I saw the shadow of Jesus. I saw Jesus and when I closed and opened my eyes, [there was] nothing." However the conversation shifted a bit off gear and frankly I didn't know where it was going until the 'bombshell' came. Fayez asked me if I had any children. I said no, not yet. He then plucked an olive branch which he gave to me for the blessing of fertility. He shot another question at me. A...
