What if you suddenly discovered that your race was not what you had been told it was? What if upon investigation you found out there is no such thing as a white, black, red or yellow race? What if your entire investment in being connected to a particular race was proven to only be a hypothetical assumption?

We have amassed a team of subject matter experts and I think you will amazed at some of the information that will be forthcoming.

AFRICA IN APRIL TAKEOVER!!!

We present to you...

WAHALA
An Afro-Beat Explosion!!!

This years Africa in April celebrates the rich culture of Nigeria. Nigeria is the 7th largest oil country and home to Afro-Beat legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Fela's music captivated audiences with his heavy political lyrics that spoke of Nigeria's corporate and government corruption. He used music as his weapon to fight back against the V.I.P.s (vagabonds in power) and I.T.T.s (International Thief Thief), thus making him the original "Black President" for the people.
