DONALD TRUMP VS HILLARY CLINTON: WHICH WAY?

-
Gradually, the road to the White House is becoming narrow and narrower every day. Suffice to say the boys are being separated from the men. If the result of the foregoing primary elections of both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are anything to go by, then one can say the race is strictly between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump though no one can say for sure that is yet uhuru. The likes of Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders and Marco Rubio seem to be fading out.

However, with Hillary Clinton winning Alabama, American Samoa, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, eight States in all; and Donald Trump :  Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Vermont and Virginia; the coast appears to be clearing.

In this regard, a global analyst remarked thus:

"Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both took one step closer to securing nominations for the 2016 US presidential race with commanding victories on a night of caucuses dubbed "Super Tuesday".
The pair won seven caucuses each, shortening their odds of facing one another in the race for the White House."
Furthermore, the opinion polls across the country seems to be swinging in favour of Donald Trump despite sharp criticism of his campaign strategy by the global community. The question therefore on the lips of many is can the human race and the global community withstand a Donald Trump presidency? In other words, do we need a polarized human community or a unified one.

To many observers and global commentators both within and outside American, a Donald Trump presidency is a misnomer for the human race even though it seems to be appearing inevitable. But to an average core American, a Donald Trump presidency is needed at this time considering the aggressive nature of the Russians led by President Putin, not less the increase in terrorism across the nations of the world. This is because USA since assuming global leadership has never been a second fiddle and it cannot afford to do so now.

Hillary Clinton appears to be a credible alternative; but can the Democrats withstand the heat this time around, besides the fact that as to the preparedness of the Americans for a woman President. There is also this palpable fear that Hillary Clinton election come November, is the election of another Margret Thatcher as the former is as strong will as the latter. But her message of  'Let's break down barriers—not build new walls'; appears to be resonating not only in American but also across the world.

Whichever way it goes, history may be beckoning on the corner again as the election of Hillary Clinton means the election of the first female US President and Donald Trump may emerge as the oldest President US has ever produced. Till then, the world appears to be enjoin the intrigues being played out.

2019 - A YEAR OF DECISION

2019 - A YEAR OF DECISION Dear friends, I'm happy you made it to 2019. It is a rare privilege, and I do hope you won't take it for granted. Many people wished and prayed to see this day, but were not able to see it. It therefore becomes important that we make the year counts. The law of motion says: everything remains in a state of rest until it is moved. What this means is that everything we wish or have prayed for this year will require our inputs. In simple term, do you want more money, and you are in paid employment. You may need to ask for a raise in your place of work, and if your employer won't do that despite being convinced you are giving your best, don't hesitate to change your job. Alternatively, you may need to do side hustle if your job permits. Better still, you may quit to start your business. Are you in a toxic relationship or you don't even have a reliable partner, yet you would like to marry this year, encourage your partner to change, and if

LIFE VOYAGE IS ROOTED IN BILLOWS

-
Life is a voyage which all men undertake, for we are mere mortal with divine mandate. In our sojourn, we are bound to face countless hills and mountains. Some we easily succumbed, others maybe so overwhelming that we have to meander around them, yet in all we must never succumb to the dictates of fate. But here lies the paradox between fate and destiny. In essence, what is fate, what is destiny? Should we say fate is the sum total of fortunes and misfortunes that befalls on our part to destiny- the eternal (most times unknown) glorious end that await us and that we all aspire to be in the nearest future? Or is our fate our destiny? In that case, everything that happens to us is our fate and is our destiny. Maybe or maybe not, one thing is however clear like Job said: a man cannot enjoy all the goods in life without a taste of a sour moment. Suffice to say, permanent happiness or sadness is a myriad. In all our days, we are bound to make choices that will latter define us now and la

CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE CHALLENGE OF DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA – A NEO-MARXIAN PERSPECTIVE

-

  Climate change affects everyone – the farmers in the villages, the wine tappers on the palm trees, the fishermen in the rivers, the fashion designers in the shops, the financial experts in the banking halls, the clubbers and club owners in the cities, the doctors in the hospitals, the lecturers and the researchers in ivory towers. Climate change impacts the accessibility of favourable weather patterns, like rainfall and sunlight, for farmers, consequently influencing the productivity of their farms. The number of kegs of wine that the wine tappers can sieve from the palm trees is determined by a good or bad climate. Dried or shallow rivers affect fish and fishermen’s catch. Climate change influences the accessibility of cotton and fabric resources for fashion designers. The affordability and availability of papers and stationeries to the researchers and lecturers in tertiary institutions are to a large extent determined by climate change. To the clubbers and club owners, the prices o
