Hello everybody!
Welcome to my world. A world of uniqueness and diversity. I am glad to have yet another opportunity to reach out to you all out there. The two words above probably best describe me. Uniqueness is about my desire to be original, to do things is a different way-usually the better way. It is about my willingness to be creative. Diversity is about my appreciation of versatilty. I like being informed and digging for information.
I have carried both all along: born and bred in Nigeria; studied engineering at the Aviation University in Riga, have been singing with the Los Amigos Reggae band since its foundation, studied pedagogy at RTU ; have been working as a language teacher ; have been the chairman of the Afrolatvian Association since its foundation ..........
Some previous writing attempts include my personal home page : http://www.ltn.lv/~chris/ ; stories published for the Glen, Latvia , and Afrolat website : www.afrolat.lv.
Latvia is now my home , though still consider myself a citizen of the world. I can't afford to be indifferent to what is happening elsewhere. The political climate in now hot , and hence interesting to follow. This blog will reflect on all of the above.
Despite all the above mentioned, the africaness in me is very strong : "You can see it in my motion when I walk " as the song sang. Dancing is my passion.Singing too.
My entries here will be spiced up with all these. I hope you will enjoy your stay here. Feel free to drop your comments , and see you!

Blogā The importance of good communication 8
My understanding of communication is a process whereby individuals exchange some sort of information. It is very important to pay attention to each letter of this definition. the word "Individuals" implies that there are , at least , two sides actively involved in the process, none being more important than the other. The next word " exchange" indicates that both sides are at the receiving end with the aid of a feedback forming a closed circuit. The word "process" is meant to be an ongoing one. Lasi
Blogā The integration process and the year of equal opportunities (cont.) 3
I wonder how many of out there know that the year 2007 is being marked as the year of equal opportunities by the European Union. I suppose that fewer can guess what it stands for. As someone closely connected with the integration process, and just slightly informed about the events of the year, I think I have got something to say here. Lasi
