'' There is a big difference between attention and respect. So while you enjoy eating at the table of monkeys, know that it takes respect to dance with the wolves. '' Ms Baba Dua
Hikmat Baba Dua is the Founder and Executive Director of League of Young Female Leaders, working with LitWorld International and Global Girls Rising as Tamale Regional Coordinator for the 10,000 Global Girls Initiative. 
Ms Baba Dua was awarded the MILEAD Fellowship as one of 27 most promising women leaders in Africa by the Moremi Initiative for Women’s Leadership in Africa. She is also a participant of YALI WEST AFRICA 2015, and was recently named among the International Literacy Association (ILA), second annual 30 Under 30 list. The list recognizes the next generation of young innovators, advocates and educators who are leading efforts to advance literacy for all, whether in their community or around the world. 

Ms Dua writes

 '' Privilege doesn’t serve me right and I do not allow patriarchy to muddy up my sense of what is and what ought to be. Being privileged can sometimes clog up your sense of compassion, skew your logic and blind you in light of reality. But this reality of a classical revolution is here to stay even if it refuses to fill the cups of the dominant actors and beneficiaries of a system that simply prescribes a walk of yet centuries to realize a just and progressive world. 

 This to me is a hegemonic masculinity and regulated femininity by such torchbearers who want to continuously control the structural influences that makes them the gods of worship of this system with the definitive aim to subordinate. Facing fundamentalist tendencies in religion and culture would not and cannot deter us from preaching from our empowered podium while ascribing to faith, it only reminds us that this battle is real but must be fought anyways for we are here today because of the tongues and sweat of they who refused silence as an option in their age, and we would not let those after us have a taste of our mistakes for our silence but the joy of our struggles.
 For our children will not see their worth or value in the eyes of just a willing partner but in the wholeness of their being as designed by their maker. Their knowledge would appreciate generalities and specifics including the fact that some things would not make a cut on their resume, would not grant them immortality and would definitely not guarantee them a blissful eternity. ,,

Professor Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg on PORK Biological Therapy

By -

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could ...
