Well done Brother!
You see, charity begins at home and thats what Halifa has been doing and I
believe the rest of the so called African "interlectuals" with their ideas
of "interlectual gymnastic" should also try to do.

It is good to be critic but be objective in your critism. We must start to
be honest to ourselves in oder to be able to love ourselves.
