GUEST EDITORIAL: Politicians Without Conscience by Odimegwu Onwumere: ...politicians talk about God so much, they behave anyhow, and do not care who may be watching them; even to their ‘God’, they don’t care he may be watching. Being brave is not about/by using anything available to win your opponent in a contest, without listening to your inner man, which abhors the thought and doings of evil.

Igbo Marriage: The Culture Wars Within! Milestone!!! Editor's Comment: Addressing the Issue of cultural conflicts faced by African Marriages in Diaspora is indeed a commendable thing. In fact, it is long overdue. Reference need be made to some efforts that have been made so far through theater and film (Nollywood) especially through the TV Series titled CULTURES Starring Chika Okpala (Chief Zebrudaya). CULTURES takes a dramatic look at the subject with a plot built around an Ibo Chief who brings an Ibo wife to his Ibo Nephew in America after the Nephew has been too long in America. Many would relate to while others would learn from the conflict of cultures that ensues. More on CULTURES TV Series is available at:  www.CulturesTVSeries.com ;.
