The Iyalode of Remoland, Chief Sade Ogunbiyi is one of the best conversationalists that any journalist can hope to meet. Ironically, she lives a very private life away from media scrutiny. Asides her duties as a traditional Queen in Remo, Ogun State, she plays golf in leading exclusive clubs in Lagos and Ogun States. She recounts some episodes in her life that made her 50-year old marriage and her life at 75 very inspirational in this rare encounter with Yinka Olatunbosun
The lush green grass on the golf course behind her was almost competing for attention. But it was not enough to distract from the witty conversation. Chief Sade Ogunbiyi is one of those Nigerians who had studied and lived abroad but still returned to their motherland for a satisfying life. She recalled that moment in history- 1977. The year that it seemed everyone wanted to be in Nigeria, the host nation for the second edition of the World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture. She was a teacher at a UN sc

Nhial Deng couldn’t sleep. In late March the slender young man with deep-brown eyes lay under a low sheet-metal roof. He was thinking about a place he had never seen but often imagined. A famous bronze gate stood there, and soon he would know if he would one day walk through it.
Long after midnight, Deng’s mind galloped far away from the Kakuma Refugee Camp, a vast stretch of mud-brick and concrete shelters in northwestern Kenya. The 22-year-old arrived there more than a decade ago, and each year felt heavier than the last. The camp was a cage. He wanted out.

Texas Democrat Criticizes Kamala Harris for Inspecting Border 800 Miles from Crisis Region
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) criticized Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday for visiting the the Southern border 800 miles from the crisis region of illegal immigrant crossings.
Cuellar, a Texas Democrat, told Fox News he is sure Harris planners told her it is politically safer to go down to El Paso rather than where the crisis is raging in the southern part of the state.
Im sure her planners told her that if youre going to go down to the border, go to something thats safer to go to, that is, politically safer, Cuellar said. The epicenter is down there in the Lower Rio Grande, the lower part of my district down there. If you look at the numbers that are down there compared to El Paso, youre not going to get a true picture of whats happening.

After more than 3 months of complete failure, Kamala Harris brief border drop-in is not enough, said a blast email from the Republican National Committee as it criticized Harris trip to safe, TV-ready, migrant-processing centers in El Paso, Texas.
But the GOP critics ignored the damage to American families being imposed by President Joe Bidens half-open border migration policies. That economic and civic damage is overwhelmingly opposed by voters but the GOPs donor-friendly talking points instead emphasized Bidens chaos, crisis, and crime all along the border.
