I do not review music, never have. I heard this song though. Oh! I heard this song. It was amazing in a way that not everyone would understand. Let me describe. This song is calm. There is no background noise. There is no vocal muscle flexing, no jazzy "yeah yeah yeah yeah", no long guitar solo or loud saxophone, no noise, just peaceful melody. The sound just washes over you like a wave; a wave of cool, fresh water on a hot day. The song is clear. This song is see-through; like a clear glass of clean water. You don’t need to strain to hear the words. It comes right out at you and flows into your soul. This song is like a young, good looking, confident woman; it isn't trying too hard. this song just happens, and leaves you with the choice to pay attention or to not. This song does something to you. You can’t just listen to the song. It pulls at something in your spirit, and you can actually feel the tug in your chest. You’ll suddenly feel the nee...

Child of Industry – Advocacy for Industrial Revolution The Review “An economically thriving society is not a natural order of things. It is a function of visionary leadership which must be elected by a responsible citizenry, working together in a quest to solve the generational problem of poverty." – Obinna Uche Uzoije The above statement is the opening to the phenomenon that is Child of Industry. And Oh! What an apt opening! In the book, Child of Industry, Obinna Uche Uzoije advocates for industrial revolution in Africa using Nigeria as a specimen. The revolution preached by the writer is not one that involves arms and violence; he recommends a revolution that begins with the mind, extends to the hands and sprouts from hard work. This book is intended, first to make the African aware of his environment and also cause him to become responsible for his environment, economy and politics. However, the one thing that Uzoije seems to really want for Africans is the att...

Hollaaaaaa! Ok. That was very uncharacteristic of me. However, quite a lot of things are different today from the way they used to be. The sun and the rain constantly fight for possession of the sky, confusing us all (sunglasses…no, no…umbrella…wait, no, sunglasses…arghhh make up your mind weather dude!). For British Fiction Class this semester, I had to read D. H. Lawrence’ Sons and Lovers, written in the days of the industrial revolution. I thought you'd like to read my review of it, well, I really just wanted to write a review of it. First things first, the industrial revolution is really just the time between the 19th and 20th century when industry arrived at England. Some guy named Thomas Carlyle called it, The Mechanical Age”. Factories sprung up on every sidewalk (well, they didn’t have sidewalks then, so, streets), the rich people were no longer the people with land, the rich people were the men who owned the factories. With the factories came the inevitable environm...

Review My Way – The Scarlet Letter When I read and watched references to this book in Oyibo books and movies, I thought it probably talked about some scandalous letter a lover had written, really, that’s what I thought. Imagine my surprise when I actually began to read it. Here’s what I think of chapters 1-4. The book begins with a somber looking crowd standing in front of a prison and with most of them wearing steeple hats, I just knew something sad was going to happen, steeple hats do not dwell in happy places, I believe. The Heroine, Hester Prynne is about to be publicly punished in the center of the market in New England, not for robbing a bank or murdering a priest, but, for acting unrighteously and having a baby who is obviously not her husband’s (Such a horrible crime!). Her punishment, dear reader, is to wear the letter “A” sewed onto all her clothes, for like, ever (terrible letter ‘A’). First, She is to wear the letter on her dress and stand on the platform where cri...
