Donate Books for Young People in Nigeria

Nobel laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka sitting with Adeleke Adeyemi and his wife Wosilat Adeyemi at the event of The Nigeria Prize for Literature award ceremony on February 6, 2012, at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) on Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria. 

Dear friends, 
It has been impressed on our minds for sometime now, my husband and I, to do a book drive: to collect books, used and new, for children and young people, all the way to age 18, for onward shipping to Nigeria. 

We are starting off an initiative to make books available to children in Nigeria for free, just as they are available to their peers here in the United States and other developed societies. We believe that books do change people. 

Wonder of wonders, they have been known to change society at large. 

We have a plan: to start a number of mini-libraries in select locations, heavy on lending out titles to patrons. We'll keep you updated on progress. You can start with used books in your house -- and possibly from your neighbors/co-workers/church members as well. 
Simply mail them to us; we will arrange onward shipping to Nigeria. 
Please forward this email to EVERYONE who comes to mind. 

Let's get started! 
Writing under a pen name, Mai Nasara, my husband, Adeleke, on February 6, 2012, used the occasion of the award ceremony of The Nigeria Prize for Literature which he won for his children's book, The Missing Clock, to call attention to the urgent need for all to join hands to work towards reviving a culture of reading, properly speaking, among our people.

Any questions? 
Meanwhile... start gathering those books! 
Mail them to: 
Wosilat & Adeleke Adeyemi Sense & Century 5215 Manning Road Indianapolis, IN 46228, 
USA.

Warm regards, 
Abolore.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
