African Complicity in the Slave Trades and Its Lingering Effects: By Prof Joseph C. A. Agbakoba
The responsibility to nurture the population by the State is the basis of the numerous rights that people could claim in the State and their demands on the State.
The ideology that informed the [African] State and its policies included the culti¬vation of population growth by the integration of immigrants, war captives, and so on, on the grounds that “people shield the king or the community as the case may be”. In other words, more people meant more security and prosperity in all spheres – economic, military, and so on.

How Blacks Can End Racism & Prejudice
There is something fundamentally wrong with the current approach of the Black Lives Matter movement.

What’s the colour of your voice?
As a Recruitment practitioner, I always conduct (and recommend) telephone interviews first, after resumés have been sieved through, before the initial face-to-face interview.
This is because, for me, the quality, cadence and ‘professionalism’ of the voice goes a long way to ascertain if candidate A will be invited over candidate Q. I look for the punch, the verve, the right dose of ‘aggression’, that voice-quality that tells me that this prospective employee knows what s/he wants.
