New Post (106) : Number fifty-four, the house with the bamboo door.
1. Southern Sudan’s 9 million people are preparing to vote in a referendum in January that will likely result in the splitting of Africa’s biggest country.
But, with the North reluctant to let the oil-rich South go fears are growing that the vote might reignite one of Africa’s longest-running civil wars.
2. Salva Kiir’s Statement at the Eve of Voting (Referendum, Freedom) Day.
“Greetings in the name of the Republic of South Sudan,
We have been waiting for more than …54 (Fifty Four) Years …for this Freedom Day of January 9, 2011 which was set by the Almighty God for the People of South Sudan to cross the river to the Promised Land”.
Reminded me of…
3. House of Bamboo -Earl Grant
Number fifty-four,
The house with the bamboo door,
Bamboo roof and bamboo walls,
They've even got a bamboo floor!
You must get to know Soho Joe,
He runs an Expresso,
Called the House of Bamboo.
It's a made of sticks.
Sticks and bricks,
But you can get your kicks
In the house of bamboo.
In this casino,
You can drink a chino,
And it's gotcha swingin' to the cha cha
Dance the bolero in a sombrero.
Shake like a snake!
You wanna stop in when the cats are hoppin'.
Let your two feet move-a to the big beat;
Pick yourself a kitten and listen to a platter
That rocks the juke-box!
I'm-a telling you,
When you're blue,
Well there's a lot to do
In the House Of Bamboo.
Lets go go!
You must get to know, Soho Joe,
He runs an Expresso,
Called the House of Bamboo
In this casino, you can drink a chino
Let your two feet move-a to the big beat;
Pick yourself a kitten and listen to a platter
That rocks
I'm-a telling you,
When you're blue,
Well there's a lot to do
In the House Of Bamboo.
Number fifty-four,
The house with the bamboo door,
Bamboo roof and bamboo walls,
They've even got a bamboo floor!

4. With Sudan split in to 2
-how many countries would Africa have ? 54 ?
-Will that halve the poverty. I think not.
