The long awaited Novel of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the Americanah, is out. From the tips I have read so far about it, it is not just powerful but full of novelties and humour packed. Chimamanda, as all those who know her work will understand, did not forget to speak of hair styles and influence that hair types plays in every society. As a matter of fact, she made a very serious, deep…
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, in her normal way, has come up with another topic of great interest. She has thrown up a new debate that might not be welcomed by many, not just because it’s not true but because it’s so true that it cannot be easily swallowed. “We should all be feminists”!

Maud Chifamba, middle, started her studies in accounting September 10 at the University of Zimbabwe. Aged 14, she is the country’s youngest ever…
If there is any continent that draw more attention in the World, it should be Africa. From a recent observation, it appears that any International Journal without a topic on Africa lags behind. The most interesting aspect of it all is that it seems the best way to make a website popular is to attribute a column to this black Continent.
