Henry Iwenofu

Remember Henry Iwenofu, the Nigerian proprietor of the African food place at St. Louis that first gave me an experience of home? You can read the post here.

He is now the candidate again for the State of Missouri’s House of Rep. 71st District under the Democratic Party

His Meet & Greet Fundraiser event will take place in St. Louis tomorrow. I’d like to drop by there if I can. A great guy. I wish him all the best.

Poland!

The horrible news of the death of the Polish President and his wife moved me almost to tears. There were about 96 other people on the plane when it crashed onto Russian soil where the man and the top military brass of the country had gone to celebrate the 70th anniversary of a massacre of some Polish citizens in the old Soviet Union at the beginning of World War II.

More in the Washington Post.

Western Union, Today

Will be offering a 50% off from every money transfer transaction from the United States to every part of the world between now and tomorrow April 7th. Details here.

Whoever needs to take advantage of it should do so, particularly Nigerians in the US hoping to send money to the Red Cross in Jos for the relief efforts of the survivors of the January and March crises.

Hopefully, this will be my final Western Union blog post!
