Michel Nkuka (Lumumba VEA) has done more in days to revive Patrice Lumumba’s legacy than many African leaders have done in decades.
It shows how powerful memory can be when people refuse to let history be buried.
God bless Patrice Lumumba.

I can't stand some Nigerian music. Not because they're bad, but because the memories take me back to when japa was not even a thought I entertained.
The music is beautiful; the feeling isn’t.
That said, I'm enjoying "Good Times" by Asa ft The Cavemen.
What about you?
