                                                     Credit: SKY News


The race is on for the most powerful office in the world:  The Executive Office of the President| The White House, at the forthcoming elections in November in the United States of America. Previous elections have seen candidates battle it out via campaign promises, debates, fund raising and getting their platform nominations, and this year’s election will not differ except for the pre-debate before party presidential tickets.


Who becomes the next US President is important to nations of the world, it is crucial to what happens in Russia-Ukraine war as leaders are closely monitoring the developments at the US polls. We have had a taste of the capabilities of both Donald Trump and President Biden, both have spent a term as POTUS. For a fact, President Joe Biden unseated Donald from the seat of power in the US 2020 elections, but will Trump be able to return the same favour? The electorates will decide. However, this election promises to be an interesting race to the prestigious Oval office.


President Joe Biden of the Democrats party is 81 years old, has four children from two marriages, with a net worth of $10m (Source: Wikipedia). He served as two term Vice President of the United States in 2008 and 2012 to President Barrack Obama, he contested and won the US presidential election in 2020 defeating the then incumbent President Donald Trump.


Donald Trump is 78 years old, has five children from three marriages, with a net worth of $5.4bn (Source: Forbes). A successful businessman, contested and clinched the Republican Party presidential ticket by storm in 2016 and won the election, but failed to win a re-election bid in 2020. He is contesting again for the same office in the 20204 election.


Donald Trump will represent the Republican party having swept majority of the caucus and primaries with 2265 votes. (Source: Aljazeera ).


Meanwhile, there is no clear consensus in the Democratic camp; President Joe Biden has expressed his desire to represent the party at the November elections, but within the party, there are calls for him to withdraw. A couple of candidates are being speculated to be the flagbearer including the vice President, Kamala Harris. Is history staring us in the face again come November?


Recent events seem to be swinging in favour of Donald Trump: the outcome of the debate with President Joe Biden being one of them, the court granting Donald Trump immunity for his actions as President in 2020 and the recent assasination attempt on his life while at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.


Nevertheless, nothing is guaranteed except hard work on both sides: breathtaking slogans, fund raising, media campaigns and above all, a convincing future for every American.

Between Donald Trump and ??????. Who will Americans elect?

Iya Alakara

Iya Alakara (The Beans Cake Seller) We call her Iya Alakara (Beans cake seller) because her akara is the best, though she sells other fried foods. Akara is a popular delicacy eaten in Nigeria , it is made from grinding beans,  then mixed with various sauce ingredients and then shaped in the form of a ball before being fried in either a hot palm or vegetable oil. It is eaten with variety of other foods like fried yam, pap and even bread for a proper balance diet. Her spot cannot be mistaken, it is strategically located for commuters and passers-by to easily spot. Walking through my street about three nights ago, I thought hard on my next content for the blog.  Only a hot akara and pap would do at the moment; the thought of cooking would have been  a mission impossible. I have had enough for the day.  So here I was, readily seated right in front of her,  the little smoke emanating from the firewood was not enough to deter me from satisfyi...

My bout with malaria (Part 1)

It is said that malaria takes the life of children under five every two minutes, that makes it a major killer. This is a fact from WHO (The World Health Organisation). What a stat!  Most of the times I fell sick as a kid was due to malaria, and paying a visit to the hospital was never an issue for me, after all, its a chance to have a soft drink. Don't get me wrong here, I never lacked anything as a kid but the doctor always does ask if I had eaten before coming, even if I had, he would still offer me a drink from his fridge. After been enticed, the time I never love to hear comes; diagnosis, drug prescription and the unavoidable days of injection. Left for me, I prefer taking injections to drugs. Especially that drug called 'Chloroquine'.  If you grew up at the time I grew up, you'll be familiar with the malaria drug, but if not, thank your stars. (lols) In all my years of adulthood, I doubt I have ever experienced this bout I had with this 'thing' call...
