When you feel the Wind, you may be sure of the Wind

Borders in Africa that separated one country from another, as we understand today. Our kings and chiefs called it regions. But each land was respected by its own culture and language, equally respected. It was thus that permitted people to speak their own mother tongues and remained heard by others of another culture.We were believers but we worshi...

A Letter to My Faithful Readers

sincerely-media-_-hjiem5TqI-unsplash
Dear Reader of The New Voice of Africa,After you visited me and my little library last week, I am missing one of my favourite books 'ANDREA' by Robert Algeri. I am not saying you took the book from my little library, and I am not saying you didn't take the book either. Because the fact remains, the book is missing ever since you were here to read. ...

Saturday of the thirty-first week in ordinary time.I never thought that my hands would consume more alcohol than my throat in my entire life.

Uniting During Crisis

united
I cannont think of anything to compare the COVID-19 pandemic but to what is known as the Black Death also known in history as the Black Plague. The Pesstilence was the most fatal pandemic recorded in human history, resulting in the deaths of about 125 million people around the globe. Like the Black Plague, the Coronavirus probably started in A...

Which Way Africa, Which Way?

WhichWay
What is it that we are doing wrong? Or what is it that we are not doing at all? How can there be so many sufferings in the Mother Continent after so many years of struggles, and eventually Independence and Freedom were obtained by the heroes and heroines of our great land of Africa. Like in the 1970's as the Irish were asking 'What can we do?' when...

Broken Vessels

In life, there are two things I can never explain. That a man cried for help to my ears and I did not hear, and that very same man disappeared as nothing that existed. Everyone needs a friend, or someone very close to their heart. But once one has that, people always question, 'what is happening between those two?' But one thing they'll never do, i...

The ‘Telos’ and the inspiration of others’ successes.

success
 You would have heard them say, the success of others is the burnout of our lives. But solely I say to you, the success of others is the 'telos' and the inspiration for us to do well and be the best that we can be. Getting inspired by other people's successes it's equivalent to the fresh air. It's like opening a window for the air to enter. An...

My step-mother

 One day, it was during the mid-year examinations, just after our exam, I went to her as she was standing alone waiting for her friends to finish up writing. Hi! I said. "Hey" she responded."You're beautiful as usual." I said. She couldn't say anything about that."Tell me about yourself" she said smilingly. I didn't know where to start so I as...

African Philosophy

Introduction: Many works have been compiled concerning John Mbiti's concept of time. It is tempting perhaps to agree that Mbiti is wrong in his theory until you closely understand him. In his work, the focus will indicate what Mbiti meant when he said that an African time pertains the long past history, the present as limited and also saying t...

Give Yourself Time, loneliness is part of it...

give-yoursel_20190510-191351_1
An unnamed English poet notes that, "It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return. But what is more painful is to love someone and never find courage to let that person know how you feel". He continues by saying … "maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right ones, so that when we finally meet the right person, w...

My Father

My Father
​In those days, my father and I, before he got married to my step-mother, we lived together as 'father and son'. Most people thought that we were brothers, not because of height but because of the love we had for each other. I was just a small boy. My father although working in far distant town from home, but he always made time for me, and that he...

The Brightness of Darkness of an African

The Brightness of Darkness of an African
A reflection of thought!Racism is first and foremost a misunderstanding of one's self before it is a misunderstanding of another person. The past is not so far distant, because we still experience the past even in our present day lives. Racism is the problem in Africa, but not the problem! However, we have to deal with the problem, in an appropriat...
