AFRICA - A new trend of Chinese workers marrying African locals may be on the horizon. This rise of interracial matrimony is said to be a plausible solution to the overpopulation of males in China due to its cultural mandate of one child per household and strong proclivity for boys.
The Grio Reports:
Despite the growing trend of Chinese workers marrying local African women, predictably, many in their home country have a lot to say about it.

Prosperity-preaching TV evangelist Creflo Dollar is looking to expand to the Bronx, New York, by purchasing the Kingsbridge Armory.
Dollar made a proposal to finance the development of the5-acre facility.
