The Root cannot lie

Africans have world's greatest genetic variation

Study also found majority of African-Americans trace back to West Africa


This is not news. I remember hearing or reading about Bishop T.D Jakes tracing his lineage to the Igbos in Nigeria (West Africa) and others.

Just this year alone, some Hollywood actor Forest Whitaker went and traced his root to Imo State in Nigeria.

Why I want Zuma to succeed

Some people still don't understand why I am a big fan of President Zuma. I think some of my female friends are disappointed because as a liberal and a "woman empowerment" fanatic I should be against him for the alleged rape incident and his shower comment. However, Zuma has won my heart for several reasons.

I love a sad beginging that usually ends well. Unlike our usual choices, he was not born with a golden/silver spoon. He defeated sterotypes to be where he is today. True he has his flaws, but his persistent triat is his love for the people. So many people are skepitical, some are already calling him a disappointment, but look at what is happening around us, those that we taught will guide us have disappointed us all.

Ordinary people can relate with him. No one is perfect. I have stopped looking at politicians as gods but humans like myself who strays but with little push can always get it together. I believe that with good people surrending him, Zuma will positively impact SA. Mbeki did not look out for the people and BE is a total failure. Hopefully, they will remember that a prosperous nations lifts all and not just few but all

Congratulations Preisdent Zuma. The whole world is watching, please do not disappoint.
