Things to do before 30

If you know me well, you would know am not a planner. I detest making list because I think life is more adventurous when you don't plan. I have had my own share of adventures but as I turn a year older today, I realize that there are some few adventures have missed. I realize that making a list would help me realize which goals I ha've met and haven't met, and it doesn't remove the adventure from it. Maybe I have old age to thank for that or maybe all those lessons on the importance of planning by friends is finally yielding fruits. This is the list of things I haven't done that I would like to do before 30.

Baroness Thatcher and Apartheid Regime in South Africa

Margaret Thatcher was United Kingdom’s prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first and only female prime minister in the UK. I have a lot of admiration for her because of what she accomplished during her tenure as prime minister. I am a conservative, so I would describe her and late U.S. President Ronald Reagan as my role models. Some foreign policies of Baroness Thatcher have been reviewed following the announcement of her death, but the one that caught my attention was the apartheid policy. The current U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron who belongs to the conservative party (same as Baroness Thatcher) apologized for her apartheid policies and voiced his disagreement. I am an African, the word apartheid only bring back bad memories of fellow Africans being discriminated against in their own homeland. Anyone who supported such a regime must be racist and doesn’t deserve to be admired or respected by me. But I admire and respect the late Baroness, so I had to find out myself wh...

Is Religion to blame?

I was having a discussion with an atheist friend of mine on religion about a week ago. A point that he made that stuck to me most was when he asked. "isn't it ironic that religion seems to be behind every major conflict?" It wasn't the first time I had heard such a statement, but the sad part is it seems partly true on the surface. From the crusaders, Spanish inquisition, Schmaldalic wars and thirty years war in the past to present day conflict such as Israel-Palestine conflict, religious riot in Nigeria, Sunni-Shiite conflict in Iraq, 9/11, Sudan, Uganda and other conflicts not mentioned here.
