and here comes that period that we await the naming of the nobel peace prizes. African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'

The Nobel Prize for chemistry has gone to a single researcher, Dr Shechtman, for his discovery of the structure of quasicrystals "Under the microscope he observed that the new crystal was made up of perfectly ordered, but never repeating, units - a structure that is at odds with all other crystals that are regular and precisely repeating." And for that he pockets 10m Swedish krona (£940,000) prize. "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

You only get collected if you were loitering near a prohibited zone or found wetting a wall written, "Usikojoe hapa" or "Kojoa upigwe picha". You can also be collected if you fall down or fall out of love. "One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Rev Canon Karanja.

Was there a thread about women seemingly overtaking men or did i dream it up? I still think we have not overtaken despite this nobel prize winners. There still are so many men who have received it! Whoever it was, relax.. ....above all, to stand.

Together we walk forward! You think managing that war torn country just from the war is a walk in the path??? From Wikipedia
Quote:In 2006, Sirleaf established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission with a mandate to "promote national peace, security, unity and reconciliation" by investigating more than 20 years of civil conflict in the country.
In their final report, issued in June 2009, the TRC included Sirleaf in a list of 50 names of people that should be "specifically barred from holding public offices; elected or appointed for a period of thirty (30) years" for "being associated with former warring factions."[28] The proposed ban stemmed from her financial support of former President Taylor in the initial months of the First Liberian Civil War.
On 26 July 2009, Sirleaf apologized to Liberia for supporting Charles Taylor, adding that "when the true nature of Mr. Taylor’s intentions became known, there was no more impassioned critic or strong opponent to him in a democratic process" than she.[29] On 28 August, the Legislature announced they must "consult our constituents for about a year" before deciding whether or not to implement the Commission's recommendations.[30] He who can express in words the ardour of his love, has but little love to express. - Petrach, Son. (That men by various ways arrive at the same end. - Montaigne, The Essays of.)
