30 Days Reality Show - In Jail
Whenever you see this type of "let me put myself in their shoes" documentary, always be cautious. This is a pretty good episode of 30 Days in that it gives those who've never been, a good look into what Jail (not Prison) is like. The downside, of course, is that we don't really get to see the lives of the inmates once they've served their sentence. That, of course, is an important element. Unfortunately, it's missing here. Knowing that this show fails there, however, can help you enjoy it for what it is. Courtesy Achali

Chinua Achebe returns home for only the 2nd time in 20 years
...More than 2,000 people turned out to listen to him.
He spoke to them in a slow, gentle but strong voice. His message was clear. He is deeply disappointed at how little Nigeria has achieved since independence.
His generation struggled for freedom, but "we don't seem to have the receipt", he says.
Nigerians must "overcome that miseducation that we received under colonial rule... and celebrate our lives".
He believes that Africans must not reject their own culture but look to their past to discover values that will enable Africa to develop now. ( more )

African Mind Was Not Limited to 26 symbols...
Bought this for the second time, a few weeks ago at the 'Semetic' Museum in Harvard U. Am having the yuts at the center add the correct labels to each script: they are learning that the first one, the top script in it's older form had over 400 symbols. Bby a go call 'proto-canaanitic' fi dem backthorn cian't just come to say african spirit ovas undas all dem sad myth. The short 'upside-down' turned-around path to the 26 latin symbols we use today is na but limitation fi dem express dem spirit, awo. Similar too: the distance between the modern vershuns of the scriptures of the 'abrahamic' faiths from those mdw ntr vershuns [dem] distance from the grimi-khoisans scripture whey written pon dem heart muscles -most high, AWO.
