THE DREAMS OF AFRICAN HEROES
MAKING THE RIGHT PATHWAY TO SUCCESS It is with great thoughts of decades ago when I realized that the journey to success is a herculean task as it requires a lot of dedication, commitment, perseverance, and patience when underprivileged and neglected children decided to pursuit their dreams to success. As the community people in villages and towns nationwide realized the importance of education and wanted their children to be amongst the highly educated in the African continent, and to become useful men and women in the society with intention of making their villages and town famous for bringing up elites to take up prominent positions in governance of their countries. In order to proceed with this project, the elders in the community made personal financial contributions to sponsor the education of children going to school from primary school to secondary school and up to university. As the awareness of education and learning has intensified the elders, went the extra mile to create additional source of raising funds for the educational project by identifying and communicating with charitable organizations, locally and international, philanthropists to come to their aid to support the venture so that more opportunities will be extended to the underprivileged children in their communities. Starting the road to academic learning for the children was tough and rough as they were not exposed to education methods of learning, gradually as the children understand and appreciate the essence of education, what it means and to what benefits it would be to themselves, the communities and their countries in general they became eager to learn and concentrate on their education. Although it was challenging, but as time goes on, they realized it was valuable and interesting venture. The children were motivated by their teachers and lecturers, therefore they were able to understand and learn new things, develop ideas and knowledge very quickly as they showed commitment to the course of interest. Notwithstanding the difference in cultures and ethnic tribes’ barriers as the children develop and become familiar with themselves, they make friends in school that boasted the learning environment as they play together and make funs as the relationship builds up. Many of the children were able to develop their interest of learning difference languages to improve their communication network to ease their stress and problems in speaking to each other in school and outside. The interaction became very friendly and pleasant as they play together, and took the opportunity to learn either of the various official languages; English, French, Arabic etc, etc of the respective countries. It also serves as a means to develop and improve their vocabularies in the languages as they know new words and their meanings, understands good and bad habits and those to ignore because those bad habits or tricks are not acceptable in the mist of good and disciplined people in the society. The children used this forum to learn and gradually develop and improve their vocabularies and learning habits. As the children progress in the school academic years, they are complied to do assignments, sit to tests and examinations to assess their competencies and capacities for justification and promotion to the next classes until the complete primary, secondary and university education and obtain our respective recognized certificates awarded to them. Going to the universities, the students decide on their course of studies e.g B.Sc degrees Business Administration, Accounting & Finance, Human Resource & Management, procurement & Logistics to list a few as their aspiration or ambition is to become top business management executives, these courses are normally pursued for 4 years and during the vacations many of them are engaged by some prominent companies as internship trainees in their various fields of academic studies to gain practical experiences, with the progressive trainings, they were able to acquire some administrative skills that enable them to secure employments after graduating from the universities probably with distinction grades. With this first academic success they are now confident of a new life in their era has began and they should continue to strive to achieve more successes. Moving from the learning institutions to business environment is also not too easy, because the culture and focus is making money for the progress, development and expansion of business, therefore everything is time management, maximum productivity and profit making concepts. Hence, there is division of labour, responsibilities and accountability to the management. You execute your functions according to the policies, procedures and guidance of the company. This management system have proved to be very effective, useful and productive in the overall performance of the business, therefore created positive impact in our career development and capacity building. As we spent years of services with the company, our dedication, loyalty, efficiencies and competences were recognized and compensated with awards of merits by annual increments and promotions to higher positions in the company. We are now applauded, therefore feel bless to demonstrate and express our profound gratitude, appreciation and thanks to our community elders both in the villages and towns in any of the countries in the continent of Africa, the local and foreign donors that have in diverse ways continue to contribute towards the sustainable development and improvement of the education standards and the opportunities provided for underprivileged children in our continent as we all hope to realize the best of their achievements in the immediate, short and long terms plans to benefit of themselves, their communities and country in general. We have no doubts in our minds that the beneficiaries of this laudable venture will surely reciprocate by offering the services to the people, communities and the countries in general, and where available opportunities to support development in socio-economic strives of the villages or towns in their country it will be their pleasure, therefore we have tagged their rewards to achievement “PAY BACK TIME”.

acob Ludwig Karl Grimm (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Karl Grimm (1786–1859) were brothers, very close to the point that, when one of the two had a family, the other went to live with him. The numerous disappointments then led them to close themselves in their own fantasy world, a bit like what happened to Tolkien in the last part of his life. Born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, they were linguists and philologists, founding fathers of Germanistics, authors of a very important dictionary that was completed posthumously only in the sixties. Jakob is also famous in glottology for the famous law that takes its name from him: the first consonant rotation (Erste Lautverschiebung).

Locke, Inherent Value, and Labor
John Locke starts his Chapter on Property with a conversation about God. On the very first page of the chapter making a massive assumption. Not that god is real or that there are many or one. A much more simple and widespread assumption that nature is a gift to man-kind. It is affirmed immediately and is the start of all understanding of property and the world. The idea of nature as a gift is something which need not be paid back. Yet, gifting is a rather human conception is it not. Locke's starting common assumption beckoning some questions: Is this planet or nature even capable of gifting? And further how does the idea of something being a gift move it from having societal value to having inherent value? In order to explore the above questions the paper will follow a format which builds on our own assumptions. First defining the concepts of inherent value and societal value before tying them in with the ideas of gifting and transactions. Then flowing into a discussion on how this might affect humanities outlook on nature, by extension women's bodies, and then ultimately each-other. The idea of a gift is extremely powerful, it is by and large seen as a positive expression but, when used ideologically in a certain fashion it can be used to take things for granted, and justify the exploitation of a relationship that may not have the attributes of a gift but, are more easily explained away through the logic of gifting as to not have to pay the bill.
