we need help in this country. Why do we continue to supply other countries with funds when we have the same or worst issues.... PLease dont over look the americans and the less fortunate. I feel it is a celebrity trend to adopt children from other countries and not our own.
THAT IS SAD
I was a refugee child in the days that celebrities never saw beyond their noses, so there were no Madonna and Angelina Jolie to adopt me.
I am still an orphan and past 40 and really would not mind if Madonna, Angelina Jolie or Oprah should come to Nigeria to adopt me.
Or am I too old to be adopted by a celebrity?:)
One God, one faith.
Bono is a Cheerful Giver
I have been a fan of U2 and Bono has been their arrowhead since the 1980s to date.
I am happy that Bono is committed to charity for the benefit of humanity. And even if he was not a celebrity, he would have been doing so as a common man on the streets.
American Idol is fast becoming more of a socio-cultural celebration than a musical contest. And that is why I will always watch American Idol without being bored by any of the boring contestants.
One God, one faith.
