F.M & B 4TH EDITION OUT! + CHOOSE 5TH EDITION COVER

Wow! It kinda seems as though Obama's victory has got so many blessings that has come with it to stay... or how else could I have said it? FINALLY, like a miracle baby waiting to be born, the 4th edition of F.M.& B is out, after almost eternity.

Anyway, am not going to go through the ordeal that we had to go through to get this magazine out at a point in time, some of the staff of BLACKDOVE had to start fasting and prayers for a magazine that has been paid for. Anyway, we finally did it! And it only gets easier from now on.

From next year, it will be a bi-monthly magazine...one day it will be monthly...God help us!
for all of you that have patiently kept faith with us, give us some few more days to have some logistics issues sorted out and in no time, you would have them all over the stores and with your nearest vendors.
Remember that we can also specially have them delivered to you at a fone call.
One of the hardest things in publishing a magazine is getting adverts, especially if the mag is relatively new... but we managed to get a few. I'd like to say a big thank you to all the companies that believed in us enough to give us adverts.

We've already started working on our fifth edition which we hope will be out in December/January, so please if there's anyone out there who will like to write for us on any topic whatsoever, reach me at lindaikeji@gmail.com. We really need help. Many thanks.

So what do you say? Cover 1, or 2 and why?Waiting...

AND THE WINNER IS...BARACK OBAMA!

Wow! I just might be one of the late bloggers on the American election result, but you won’t be quick to blame me, i have been up since as early as 4:00am this morning and till 5pm am yet to get over it, am still highly intoxicated, i mean basking in the euphoria of a victorious election.
Words have failed me in rightly expressing myself but then, i know i have to put something down here, you can only understand how i feel by the time you see me.

Unlike so many, am not happy because the guy who won is a ‘BLACK’ man, nope, am not into all that racial bullshit, a lot of Nigerian’s and the world over celebrate because Obama is a black man, for me its way beyond that, its first because a democrat has once again assumed the highest honour in a land considered the most powerful nation in the world.

Secondly, i see focus and determination taking its place, the price of hard work and strategic planning having the order of the day.

Thirdly, i see a man who is willing, ready and have the necessary elements to effect a change (in not just one country as whatever affects America will certainly make an impact on the rest of the world) that has eluded a lot of masses who’s voice has been silenced through absurd tax cuts, unemployment and most especially the lack of hope.

So, if your reason for celebrating is because of all the above, then you are surely invited as much as welcome to my exclusive ‘winner’s party’.

Join the rest of us, as we count the gains if consistency, focus, hopes and a dream that has come to stay after over five decades of continuous fight.

Welcome to a new dawn, the beginning of the rest of our lives as a people who can identify a true spirit, a cause that needs all the support and following it irrespective of our social, material, emotional, physical and whatever difference that might have existed between us before now.

CONGRATULATIONS MY PEOPLE AND A JOB WELL DONE.

As we celebrate, i want us to take out time to really identify the victory of the American presidential Election can have on us as a nation-Nigeria.

How do you think we as a nation can benefit from this history that has been made?

Jesse Jackson and Oprah stood with tears flowing freely down his cheeks as he listened to Obama give his acceptance speech. It was indeed an historic event, from the announcement of his candidacy, to the mobilization of everyday people into what has become, in essence, a movement. There were
