Dear Governors Jeb Bush, Rick Perry and Mike Huckabee.
Old friends, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm pretty sure that all three of you will be asking me to campaign for you somewhere along "the trail." It will, in fact, hurt my feelings if you don't. But if I choose one of you at the expense of the other two, there will be a lot of hurt feelings.
I do not want that.
So, here's the deal, I will gladly hit the trail with you – if you will agree that I can hit the trail with the other two.
If you are still reading this letter, let me address a couple of other things I will and will not do.
First, I will sing a couple of songs and tell a funny story or two about our long friendship. Then, when I have the audience's attention I will say, "Folks, do NOT vote for this man (long...

Dear Mr President Buhari sir,
What a pleasure it is to send you a letter my man!
Kai kai kai! I am so honored to be communicating with you like this yo.
I am going to go straight to the point and skip all unnesscesary mumbo-jumbo.
There are two sides to everything Mr President and the only way you are going to take our dear Nigeria to canaan is by understanding this fact and knowing what to do with this information.
Lucky for you I have done that job and all you have to do now is pay me daddy!
Now there are two sides to what Nigeria needs. There is your side, and there is the peoples’ side. You know your side, and it must be a really good thing you have planned because the mighty God I serve couldn’t have put you in this position by mistake **except of cause you think you got...

Dear High School Students,
Welcome to High School! It’s a big accomplishment that you made it this far. Whether you’re in 9th grade or 12th I want to speak to you guys about what you will hear a lot during this time, COLLEGE. Yes, college the so called Holy Grail of education. There’s many ways you can look at college. It can either be scary or you can look at it as your ticket out. In reality, college is not for everybody.
Today is June 8, 2015. I wanted this to be out on this day because it marks a very special date. Today, three years ago, I graduated High School. I was very excited. I knew I was transitioning into a new path in life which was everybody’s assumption, college. That day was the day of my downfall. The day where I knew I was going to soul search and learn about...

Dear Society
As a member of "the Younger Generation" I ask what is it that you want from us? Are you trying to breed us as your successors and the next leaders? or are you trying take everything from us and make us examples to the world as failures? Yeah we're not perfect but you damn sure aren't prefect either. I know some members of the younger generation are known for smoking and drinking but the reality is you don't breed us the right way. You pressure us into being what we shouldn't. When we want to be something you make it impossible for us to reach. Education is what you preach. you brainwash these high school students into thinking that they would benefit from going to college right after high school. well the truth is they won't.
College isn't for everybody, not because...

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
To everyone who has never been sexually abused.
Previous Governments of all shades have misused the Official Secrets Act to protect paedophiles. John Mann M.P. has now twice put a motion to Parliament to amend the Official Secrets Act to prevent it being used to do this.
Earlier this year to their shame our M.P.s voted against this motion and it was not changed. So John Mann M.P. has again put forward an Early Day Motion in this new Parliament.
We as Survivors have been waiting for justice for decades and we will never get it without your support. We are just waiting to be heard.
How much longer must we be silent? When will we get justice?
Still waiting for our voices to be heard, The upcoming inquiry will only be honest if the Official Secrets Act...

Dear Sen. Paul,
We agree with you that Congress should obey the Constitution. We should never engage in foreign wars without a congressional declaration of war, a restraint on military action put in place by our Founding Fathers to ensure lawmakers never send our troops to war without deliberation.
But a constitutional war in the Middle East is just as bloody, destructive, and likely to incite terrorism as an unconstitutional war.
Our half-century of interventions in the Middle East have been a colossal failure. We have provided arms, military training, and subsidies to virtually every country in the region, inciting continual war and unrest. This has created a breeding ground for international terrorists that pose a real danger to our country and the world — one that would not...

Dear Egypt,
This is not a desperate cry from Gaza. I am not writing to beg for your sympathy nor for your help. I am not here to remind you of your duty towards your little sister since you are hardly keeping up with your duty towards your own sons and daughters. I am not writing to tell you that your little sister is dying because I know my tragedy is not something you will care for. I will not ask you to stop pointing your guns towards me nor will I entreat you to loosen up your grip on my neck so that I breathe. I will not sing our Arab unity anthem to solicit you to remember our blood bond because we both know this is nothing but a joke. We both know that the only bond we have is fate. We both agree that being neighbors is no more than a mere divine miscalculation
My beloved Egypt...

Dear Mr. PM,
I write to draw your attention towards unreserved category (i.e. general).Earlier when reservation was started on the basis of castes, there was a dire need of that. But today it has taken another course, rather than being a help to eliminate caste system and have all the people at one platform with no inequality, it has become just a tool for politicians to fulfil their personal agenda of winning election and having a good support of certain group of people. This is dividing our country more on the basis of caste which is just opposite to the aim of bringing reservation.
There is a need of reviewing reservation criterion and more emphasis should be given on the basis of income for any category rather than category.
In scholarship schemes also there should be only income...

This is an open question to any leader, treasurer or candidate of any political party in the world.
Our planet is finite, has bounds or limits in regards to the temporal spans of the human experience, being corroborated by measurements of biocapacity, the ability of an area to produce resources and absorb waste.
We are currently in ecological overshoot, the amount of resources we consume annually and the waste we produce is exceeding biocapacity by about fifty percent. Our ecological footprint is one hundred fifty percent that of the biocapacity of our planet.
Global consumption patterns which drive the capitalist economic model, the dominant economy on our planet, generating vast financial wealth to a steadily decreasing amount of our human population, are destroying planetary...
