If Thou Shall Not Judge How Shall Thou Forgive?


President Vladimir Putin of Russia was quoted to have said; "to forgive the terrorists is up to God, but to send them to Him is up to me".

African (Igbo) Tradition As Contained In Psalm 7

Like Jose Mourinho – Chelsea football manager would say: “There are fights that you cannot win”, especially when it appears that everything and everybody is against you.
