THE last time I visited my native village shortly after my India programme. The picture I got was not in the least an impressive one. But I kept my cool and went to other villages. What?
Poverty, dilapidated houses, sickness and hopelessness was everywhere. After my return from the village one of my colleagues at the Tv ran an interview with a poor family in the 'city' and told us how poor and helpless that family was.
I could not help but laugh and refused to comment, I know that the number of poor folks I saw in my native village are countless. So,like the script writers in Blood Diamond says 'TIA' meaning this is Africa.

Im so happy for you and Hawa for the arrival gorgeous baby Kadijjatou into the Balndeh family. Im sure it was a moment of joy and excitement on the day of the christening especially when friends and family members pours into your home. Even though i was thousand of miles away on that day, yet my mind was constantly with you and the rest of the family down there. May her live a prosperous life as the gentle rains that came down on the day of the christening!!
