Philosopher Yann Dall’Aglio Explains What Love is

Posted by Jeneba Project on Sunday, February 23, 2014 In : Video Blog 
This French philosopher will teach you a thing or two about love. In my view, it is one of the most compelling observations on the idea of love in contemporary society. His central definition of love is "the desire to be desired."

Below is how TEDTalks introduces the presentation:

"In this delightful talk, philosopher Yann Dall’Aglio explores the universal search for tenderness and connection in a world that's ever more focused on the individual. As it turns out, it's easier than you think. A...

Girl's Education in Sierra Leone and the Remaking of the Athens of West Africa

Posted by Jeneba Project on Friday, February 21, 2014 In : Articles 

The question of limited girls’ education in Sierra Leone is not an issue of misogyny as experienced in other parts of the world; it is mostly about pragmatic investment in a poor and underdeveloped country. Like every shrewd investment, poverty often forces parents to make hard choices concerning their children’s education. Most Sierra Leonean parents understand the value of education and would like both their boys and girls to go to school; however, the economic realities many parents fa...

One of the major developmental setbacks in many African countries is poor transportation infrastructure. Some African cities are way too congested for traffic to flow and others lack proper roads for goods and services to be distributed throughout the country. In Sierra Leone,minivans known as poda podas provide some reprieve. But the poda podas have always been a forum for expressions of sociopolitical consciousness and religious perspectives. A few years ago I did a documentary research on ...

Bosco Ntaganda, a DR Congolese warlord dubbed the "Terminator" because of his brutality and violent nature as head of the M23 rebel movement, has appeared at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for a preliminary hearing to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to place him on trial for atrocities committed in the DRC.

JOHN Q. AND THE AMISTAD DEFENSE

Posted by Jeneba Project on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 In : Articles 

When old John Quincy Adams undertook the defense of the Sierra Leonean Amistad mutineers, he had been a diplomat, lawyer, lawmaker, and president (In other words, he knew the heck he was talking about, especially as to the international law arguments). He accused the government of discrimination against the Africans in favour of the Spanish and also what he referred to as  "Lilliputian trickery," after exposing the government’s plan to clandestinely deport the Africans to Cub...

Six Bullets That Have Given Me A Good Shot At Life So Far

Posted by Jeneba Project on Monday, January 20, 2014 In : Articles 

I recently spoke to a gathering of young people determined to lead and make the world a better place. Among other things, I offered them six bullets that have governed my young life so far. There is more to life, but it begins with understanding that each of us has a meaningful role to play in the process of straightening this rough garment that is the world we live in.

1. We are young and that is our advantage in making the world a better place

2. We cannot allow cynicism to...

National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is a Place I Face God In America

Posted by Jeneba Project on Saturday, January 11, 2014 In : Pictures 

One of my favourite places in Washington DC is the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at the Catholic University of America (CUA). Every time I enter the Shrine, it feels as though God resides there. I try to visit the Shrine whenever I am in Washington DC for reflection and introspection. That is where I go to clean the mental slate and press the reset knob of my mind. Since the Shrine is devoted to Mary the mother of Christ, I always get the comfort ...
