The pictures above with the exception of the Holy Quran were taken in Minnesota on Saturday January 26th 2008 during the handing over ceremony of the outgoing executive. The pictures are strictly for sharing.

(Jovial relation: The Serers, Sarahulles, Jolas and the Manjagos were all hiding from camera view. It was only the Wollofs, Fulas and Mandinkas that were brave enough to stand the camera view.)

Debboh-Pullo

The 'Fulbe' is one of the tribes of Africa. Theirs like the many other tribes is a complete culture. They are associated with cattle -normads, and they move around with their herds from place to place in search of greener pasture for their animals. They like living in peaceful small hamlets or villages normally called "sareh-X" or "Chinsang-X" with "X" being the founder.

Fight for the whitehouse!! Obama or Clinton?

CNN's picture imaginarily showing Obama extending an invitation to Clinton, and Clinton saying "No! No! Wait a minute comrade." is a funny one. Of late, the Clinton campaign is constantly mounting attacks on Obama, and inturn Obama too is lashing back.

Now we ask: Are Americans ready for the first woman president or the first black president?

American Hope: Obama!

Obama is a promising man, a man whose words are worth listening to. As he is calling for a change, it is a hope that actions will be louder than voice. Over and over, he said "Change." Americans should give him a chance for him to show them the real change.
