President Biden’s Age is now the problem! Where’s the ADA?

After the first US presidential debate, and the slow start of the incumbent, President Joe Biden, the democrats lost their minds. The democrats started to play with the acronym “SCAMPER.” They wanted a ‘substitute.’ They felt like ‘combining’ forces. They sort to make some ‘adaptations’ in their campaign strategy. They ‘modify’ the President’s schedules and so on. They wanted to ‘put into another use’ some tactics and styles. They outrightly wanted to ‘eliminate’ the President’s candidacy in the bid to ‘rearrange’ the campaign strategy to win the election come November 2024. Are you sure about that?

Why all these jostles, sniffing and gossips? His crime is that he is 81 years old. They fear that he will lose them the presidency to an opponent whom the law has christened felon, the supreme court anointed a king through their presidential immunity verdict, and most Americans consider a venal potentate should he be re-elected as the president.

I believe the people who criticize Mr. Biden base on his age inadvertently are going against the federal civil rights law that ensures equal opportunities for people with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits any form of discriminations based on disability and protects like other civil rights law against discrimination based on race, colour, sex, national origin, AGE and religion.

All those journalists, congress men and women and governors who criticize the President’s performance because he is 81 years old are breaking the law. Mr. Biden’s case is a typical example of discrimination based on someone’s age. If Mr. Biden says that he is strong at 81 to lead the country, let him continue with his campaign. Nobody has the right to ask him to step down because he is 81 years old. If you ask him to step down because of his age, you are sending signals to other people with disabilities that they are not “truly equal” like the rest of the people without disabilities.

Your responsibility as a party (democrats) is to make some reasonable adjustments for individual accommodations for your candidate who is 81 years old. After all, this is the candidate who has turned American economy around in just three and half years. Do you think it was an easy task to lead?

You focus on Mr. Biden’s age, which is a protected characteristic in some countries and even by ADA, but fail to notice his opponent who lies daily, who cannot make a simple correct sentence, who is incapable of concentration, who monetizes anything on his path, who's full temper tantrums, who is self-centered and abominably foul.

When you ask the President to step aside because of his age, you consider him a person who is stupid, slow to understand or ineffective. But you all are wrong. Mr. Biden may have a slow start, but not slow to understand. He is wise, effective and efficient. Physically, he may look 81, like most octogenarians, but he is resilient, tough, disciplined, diligent, equanimous, and principled. He will never sell America to the highest or lowest bidder.  

The incumbent has in just three and a half years surpassed every American President in history in his achievements in the economy. His unparalleled economic recovery has positioned the US as a global economy that balances other world economies. And now, you want to reject the person behind all these achievements because he is 81 years old for an alternative who single handedly sunk America into unparalleled debts, who instigated the January 6 riots, who has been convicted for various crimes, and who will destroy the American democracy. This person is 'hold on' turning 80 years in no time. Think twice Americans, all that glitters is not gold!

Artemis II Return: Faith and Existence on Earth

On April 10, 2026, the Orion spacecraft pierced the Earth’s atmosphere, bringing four explorers back from the lunar far side. While the mission was a triumph of telemetry and heat shielding, the testimony of the crew provided something far more ancient: a confrontation with the "Great Void." Describing the Moon as a solitary "ball of light" suspended in a pitch-black abyss: devoid of stars, clouds, or the familiar comforts of a blue sky; the astronauts reminded us that our planet is an island of order in a sea of chaos. For the believer and the philosopher, this contrast is not merely a scientific curiosity; it is a profound echo of the Genesis account and a modern validation of the "Uncaused Causer." The Echo of Genesis: Chaos and Cosmos The astronauts’ description of the "total darkness" beyond the Moon mirrors the opening lines of the Bible (Old Testament): “The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep”...

Same-Sex Marriage in Igbo Cultural Traditions

Table of Contents The Igbo Tribe Same-Sex Marriage – Definition & Brief History Same-Sex Marriage in Igbo Cultural Traditions Conclusion This writing claims that same-sex marriage in Igbo culture is necessary, an improvisation, and a  ‘like with like’  construal. By construal, it places Igbo same-sex marriage in a social psychological context and views an individual as finding out ways or means to understand and interpret his-her surroundings, and the behaviour and actions of the people around and towards him-her. The reason for this claim is not far-fetched. The Igbo Tribe The Igbo is a major ethnic group in Nigeria with an estimated population of about 32 million. It is one of the largest in Africa adding to 18% of the total 177 million people of Nigeria. Igbo land consists of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo states of Nigeria. However, Igbos can be found in these other states of Nigeria: Rivers, Delta, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River. Outside of Nigeria, the Igbo tribe ...

Nigeria as a RAM State: Volatility, Vanishing Memory, and the Architecture of a Nation in Reboot Mode

Modern nations behave like complex computing systems. They store memory, execute processes, preserve state, and build on previous computations. Some countries operate like well‑designed machines with stable firmware and predictable performance. Others behave like devices trapped in a perpetual reboot cycle:  fast, reactive, but unable to retain memory long enough to build durable progress. Nigeria, in its current configuration, resembles a RAM‑based state : volatile, easily wiped, and dependent on unstable power. To understand this, we can borrow a simple but powerful metaphor from computer architecture: RAM, ROM, and Cache. ROM States: Nations with Permanent Memory In computing, Read‑Only Memory (ROM) stores the firmware: the foundational instructions that persist regardless of power loss. ROM is where identity, institutional logic, and long‑term commitments live. A ROM‑like nation: Preserves institutional memory across administrations Maintains consistent...

The Akamba – Concept of the Supreme Being & Totems

Table of Contents Supreme Being (Worships and Venerations) Mulungu   Mumbi  Mwatuangi  Ngai  Asa  Ancestors Totems Here is a brief account of the religious beliefs of the Akamba. Spanning through Central Bantu, the Akamba ethnic group is estimated to be about 4.4 million people and occupies Southeastern Kenya in areas, such as Kangundo, Kibwezi, Kitui, Machakos, Makueni and Mwingi Districts and the Ukamba. A swathe of the Akamba population can also be found in the Mazeras and Kwale Districts of the Coast Province in Shiba Hills. The Akamba languages are Kikamba and Swahili. Globally, the Akamba are not exclusively a Kenyan or African tribe. They can be found in Uganda, Tanzania, and Paraguay, which makes it partly an indigenous group and partly an autochthonal group. Argument from migration theory suggests that Akamba came from Kilimanjaro (a word that means ‘mountain of whiteness’), basing their arguments on the similarity of certain cultural features with the...

Early Contacts between Christianity and Islam

Table of Contents Early Contacts between Christianity and Islam Monk Bahira The Migration to Axum Kingdom Christianity and Islam have always been two noxious bedfellows and yet always proclaim and wish peace on earth. It would not be a crass assumption to state that the two religions have over the centuries crossed paths and re-crossed paths many times. Crossing paths might have been in their ideologies, conflicts, doctrinal interpretations and even sharing some physical spaces. Therefore, in this brief writing, we will explore the early contacts between Christianity and Islam and see how they have influenced each other. Early Contacts between Christianity and Islam The early contacts between Christianity and Islam were not short of frames.  According to Kaufman et al., “frames are cognitive shortcuts that people use to help make sense of complex information.” They are means of interpreting our world and perhaps, the world of other people around us.  Such interpretations helpe...
