PREJUDICES WILL BE SHATTERED
For almost two decades, Nokia had unquestionably dominated the cell phone market. While mankind often strives to maintain long-held paradigms, the reality is that we exist in a world governed by rapid dynamism…

Forgive me O King of my dreams…

Wildlife Conservation is a Need
We have been descending the Ndugba river bed for more than 5 hours. The heat is unbearable and my body starts to cry out for mercy. My feet hurt, my legs, although hardened, support me only with difficulty…
