Hubert is good friends with Madam, a very pleasant elderly lady, who moved to his world all the way from England, and brought with her a snazzy little 66 Mini Cooper S. Madam was taking Hubert for a drive one day, and the two of them found themselves at a stoplight, next to an obnoxious man driving a loud and powerful 57 Chevrolet Corvette. What would be the last thing Madam would do? Even if he were to laugh at the much smaller car? Surely she would not challenge him to a road race. But that is exactly what Madam does.

Hubert was both amazed and worried when she challenged that guy in a race to the city limits.

The world today is greatly challenged and assaulted by various kinds of violence. The most embarrassing and, perhaps the most easily perpetrated form of violence, is the violence performed in the name of religion. Violence has been used to propagate religious causes; violence has equally been used to maintain the status quo ante; and yet violence pervades all three Abrahamic faiths. Religious violence as seen from this study is both interdenominational and intradenominational, as it is inter-religion. The author of this book argues that this phenomenon is not only depressing, it is a shame. He argues passionately that if the Abrahamic religions, which sadly record the highest cases of violence in the name of religion, can move toward achieving peace intradenominationally and then broker same peace interdenominationally, the sister religions could be at peace among themselves to the end of global terrorism."As a man always in search for answers, Dr. Kizito Osudibia aims, in this work, to inspire a way of overcoming the iniquitousness of violence in the name of religion. While acknowledging sometimes insignificant elements of violence in the many other religions of the world, the work turns to the monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-called here the Abrahamics-to lead the way since they all, look to the same root with Abraham. He recalls how each of the group holds the concept of peace ('shalom," "salam') as important. Urging that the peace, which they wish for, come from the heart, the book turns to the leaders of the Abrahamics to set the pace, which surely their adherents will follow to the betterment of the whole world" (Dr Uju Okeahialam; Colorado, USA)."I must congratulate Dr. Kizito Osudibia in this thought-provoking and innovative publication. Religion and the Global Resurgence of Violence: Connection of the Abrahamics is at well-researched chef d'oeuvre. It is scholarly, original, and above all, it is readable. Whether one agrees with Dr. Osudibia's arguments, in parts or in totality, it would require more than a mere wave of the hand to dismiss the facts, information, and arguments presented herein" (Edward Kim, PhD).
Fashion is universal and inborn. It is part of our daily lives and manifests itself in many ways; as such, we must be more aware of it, even making it more aware of its roles. Candid about Couture is essentially me thinking out loud and navigating life by using fashion and its subtleties. As an extension of our bodies but not the definition, it has far-reaching consequences and implications that are influenced by time, space, heritages, and cultures. In this book, I talk about how fashion can function like a spectacle and is meant to transcend the idea of having a singular theme; it has multiple, and they are the intersection of fashion and culture and the idea that fashion can be mobilized for good or bad: it's our choice!

The Police Inspector-General is a thrilling fictional account of daily occurrences in a typical African police institution. It paints the picture of how social ills like corruption, sycophancy, superstition, greed, intrigues, sexual immorality and more importantly tribalism and partisan politics can rip apart and plunge the police force into a state of total chaos and eventual collapse. The excessive politicization of a police organization often leads to the emergence of an unholy alliance between some top brass of the police force and the seat of political power, the State House. Dissenting voices are ruthlessly stifled or silenced. In some cases, they become the victims of State sponsored covert operations. Often, the unfortunate outcomes of such situations are instability and civil unrests which provide the military with justification for meddling in national politics. Once the military successfully gain political leadership, gross human rights abuses are perpetrated and the plundering of State resources become commonplace and in many cases, to an extent far worse than that of their political predecessors.
