Y ou know, I see feminism simply as ‘one of the many components of postmodernist views of cultural life that has been used to interpret literary texts and theorize literature,’ therefore adding more to the theses of literature (Olushola, Ayodeji Akanmode). Rest assured that this is worth your reading and time. However, this essay, in its scary length but packed with knowledge, I had better advise, is scarcely the type you may want to jungle over simply because you are about to enter the bathroom or about to start work in the office. No. It is an essay you sit down comfortably for and chew bit by bit for days especially for the slow readers. You may save it to your archive and go back to where you stopped.  STORY BEHIND THE SCENE Ladies nearly always reiterate this, especially in moments of depression and heartbreak, ‘He left me . . . he abandoned me . . . even after I gave him my all . . . I lost my virginity to him . . . .’  I have kept wondering whether the men involved gave stone. T

After watching the massive MAGA rally in Washington on 14th November 2020, Mr. Oluyemi Olubunmi Adeleye wrote the following, “Your rally yesterday was great! Giant crowd, positive energy and enthusiasm! This should be the beginning of a new revolution against corruption and fraud in the presidential election! Rallies and giant crowds are important! You are strong President Trump! Most people love you and support you. Looking at the giant crowds, parades and rallies that were supporting you all over the country, I’ve seen positive energy, love and support that I’ve never seen before! I’ve never seen an American President that is so popular both in the US and around the world! You are not just a president but a real leader! Keep fighting, President Trump! We are all behind you! Make America Great Again! I trust that you will win!” Yemi has echoed my sentiments and he has spoken very well. I too believe that President Donald J. Trump will be back in the White House regardless of what we s

"Dr. Richard A. Joseph, professor emeritus at Northwestern University and previously of the University of Ibadan in Nigeria, is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations. His 1987 book  Democracy and Prebendal Politics in Nigeria: The Rise and Fall of the Second Republic  has done much to shape academic analysis of Nigeria and, in this op-ed, he places Nigeria's current protest movement within a broader historical and comparative context. I owe an intellectual debt to Dr. Joseph in my upcoming book  Nigeria and the Nation-State: Rethinking Diplomacy with the Postcolonial World ."  - John Campbell On March 21, 1960 in Sharpeville, South Africa, sixty-nine persons were killed and many wounded during protests at a police station against the detested pass laws.

Show caption Social distancing means real kissing is out. But from EastEnders and Neighbours to The Bold and the Beautiful, there are some innovative and unexpected solutions Name:  Onscreen kisses.

Listen, when a man and a woman love each other very much …  They are professionally obliged to remain socially distanced so that the man can get off with a shop dummy undisturbed. What?  You mean you haven’t been watching The Bold and the Beautiful? No, what’s it about?  It’s an American soap opera that trades heavily in romantic storylines. Except the pandemic means that people aren’t allowed to kiss other people. So, instead, actors have been kissing mannequins. Really?  Yes. There’s footage on  Twitter . The dummy is shot from behind, but the giveaway is its total rigidity and lack of responsiveness. So
