Edison Agbandje Website   www.ancestralessence.com

Edison Agbandje is a community teacher and founder of Ancestral Essence, a group he created as a result of a 20-year journey through various spiritual disciplines. Believing the scientific depth and understanding of indigenous religions hadn’t been given due credit, the group was founded to inform on how detailed and beautiful these traditions are. Edison’s 20 year journey has lead him to study many contemporary faiths such as the Nation of Islam and the Nuwaubians, to western magic and tarot. In 1992 he eventually met his first teacher, a Nigerian Babalawo who introduced him to IFA (the West African tradition), where he was taught how to connect to his Ancestors, and how to access the powers of Orisha. Edison is also founder of the “Know Thy Self “ ancestral connection classes where he teaches practical ways to connect, hear and work with the ancestors to cleanse the mind.

DOUGLAS WILLIAMS, the well-known community radio show host, unapologetic Pan Africanist and black people’s rights activist, as well as an inspirational agitator of black health and wellbeing, passed away suddenly in London on Monday, March 30. He was in his early 60s.

Known affectionately as ‘Brother Dougie’, Williams has been described as a mentor and encourager to many who have launched their business enterprises especially in the West Green Road, Seven Sisters areas of Tottenham, north London.

Through his popular radio programme Find Your Voice on SLR radio, he allowed many people to rise and shine and find their voice every Tuesday night at 10.30 pm.

Ghee P says that he feels a special connection to Africa and has learned some of the languages spoken there despite not ever visiting the continent.

"One Love changed the world when Bob Marley sing it, and that is the impact I want my records to have," he said. "Music is education, and so, I do my research because I take my craft very seriously. Music is about enlightenment and reaching our brothers and sisters to evoke change," he said.

Red Card Promotes AWARENESS and PREVENTION of problem gambling through education and is funded by the National Lottery and the Professional Footballers Association (PFA).

I applied my trade in the Swedish 2nd Division as well as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Divisions of the English Football League in a 9-year career. I spent 3 years at Stoke City under legendary managers such as Alan Ball and Lou Macari and had numerous highs and lows during that period, namely a Wembley winners medal and my famous ‘YouTube’ goal at Anfield in a 2-2 draw in the 1991 League Cup!

If I knew then what I know now, with regards to how professional therapy can be a ‘lifesaver’, I would not be writing this article. ‘Problem gambling’ can be helped with proper treatment, which may include psychological therapy. There is no magical cure as it’s an illness and should be treated as such.

We will endeavour to find out what triggers people’s compulsive behaviour and urge for compulsive gambling and I am sure with, your full commitment and continued therapy, together we can accomplish our aim.
