Doctoral dissertation

Another book authored by Dr Jerome Corsi was to be launched in Nairobi late last year but the ceremony failed to take off after the author was arrested and deported by Kenyan authorities.
The book The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, which was heavily criticised worldwide for its inaccuracies, depicts Mr Obama, whose father was Kenyan, as a sympathiser of radical Islam and communism.
The decision to deport him was made after it emerged that Dr Corsi and Mr Bueler had entered the country as tourists, stating they intended to visit game parks.Barack Obama has written a pair of million-selling books, The Audacity of Hope and Dreams from My Father, in which he describes George Obama as “a handsome, roundheaded boy with a wary gaze.”

The art of writing things down was never part of Africans. I wonder if this is a pointer to the hippocampus volume of gitaunation and mulosh. (I assume that writing enlarges it). And iawe honestly confesses that s/he CANNOT write. Why do learned Africans still find it difficult to put pen to paper? Agwambo disappointed me by bringing in some Nigerian to do his story. Come on people, Bend it like Barack! That's why you went to school.
