INDECENCY: A MENACE TO AFRICA CULTURAL HERITAGE  By: Ajose, Oluwaseun Marvelous The beauty of Africa cultural values is on its way to be called carcass due to the fact that we find so much interest in the western culture, oh! What a disastrous voyage; how i which we can wake up from our slumber and see the endowment and the beauty of Africans from the angle of dressing. Indecency which is now the most deadly disease in Africa has murdered thousands of cultures leaving the practitioners to go astray. Before the colonial era, communities and societies that were commingled to form modern Nigeria were known for their awesome cultural practices. However, with the advent of colonialism some of these cherished and age-long traditions were traded away.

THE ALL-ROUND LEADER         By:- Opeyemi Oyetunji during a Radio Interview section with Evangelist Ogunkilede Joshua on World Counsellors Clinic at Maranatha Radio, Ibadan, Nigeria.  INTRODUCTION        Leadership is an art, an innate phenomenon. Every creature has an inbuilt capacity to lead only that a few exhibit it. No one is a follower, everybody is a leader. The perceived followers are seen as such because of the context they are in.
