… My point is that the only authentic identity for the African is the tribe. I am Nigerian because a white man created Nigeria and gave me that identity. I am black because the white man constructed black to be as different as possible from his white. But I was Igbo before the white man came.

The Real Eve (Discovery Channel)
Broadcast (2002) Narrated by Danny Glover, “The Real Eve” reveals that our shared genetic heritage links every living person on earth and traces the expansion of modern humans throughout the world. The discovery of the Eve gene stunned the world. It seems we could all be descended from just one female who lived in Africa. In this telling anthropological video, we access the very latest DNA reconstructions, and for the first time, tell conclusively the story of where, when and how the human race came about and then populated the world. The real Eve refers to Mitochondrial Eve, a name used for the most recent common ancestor of all humans in the matrilineal (mother to daughter) line of descent. Scientists have traced the human race to one female in Africa several million years ago and traced the migration pattern of her descendants as they spread across the earth

The tears we shed together are now an irreplaceable treasure
Mama, can you hear it?
Thank you, coming from my heart

Sometimes you just have to laugh about things you cant change.. Smile at the people you can’t stand.. Grin at the friendships you question..And Chuckle about the mountains you’re approaching.. I’ll save my tears for when I’ve reached my destination.. Even then I’ll smile with tears of joy
