Tonto Dikeh preaches love as she reacts to homophobic attack on Jussie Smollett

Love is a feeling that sometimes defies understanding. Over the years many individuals have fallen in love with unlikely people for reasons they cannot explain.

Such is the case of homosexuals who find peace in being in a same sex relationship. However in Africa and many other parts of the world, homosexuality is still frowned at by a number of people.

This does not stop gay individuals from coming out of the closet and living their truth. African- American actor Jussie Smollett, who became popular for his role as Jamal Lyon in drama series Empire, was recently attacked in a hate crime for being gay.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs?

In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
