BUDAPEST THE WORLD 3RD MOST "HONEST CITY"
Based on a recent social experiment by Reader’s Digest, where wallets were dropped in 16 cities around the world and then it was counted how many were given back, Budapest won the bronze medal. Reporters from the magazine dropped the wallets containing the equivalent of $50 in cash, a cell phone number, coupons, business cards and a family photo in public places from Bucharest to Rio de Janeiro, and waited to see how people would react... The survey showed that whether the place was "rich or poor" that had no effect on people’s honesty. Mumbai in India came as second by returning 9 out of the 12 wallets, while in the wealthy Zurich only 4 were returned. The golden medal went to Helsinki with 11 returned wallets, third place was actually a tie between Budapest and New York, where 8 wallets found their way 'safely home'. In Hungary, "Seventeen-year-old Regina Györfi called the cellphone number included in one of our wallets immediately after finding it a shopping mall. However, a woman in her early sixties opened the wallet, and then entered a nearby building. We never heard from her," wrote Readers Digest.

"No knowledge is wasted," so the saying goes. Our brothers sustain this wise saying by completing a course in computer study @ McDaniel's College in Budapest. Even though most of them had already completed their degree in different fields, nonetheless they humble themselves to add another knowledge. The bible says I look with favour on those who humble themselves. Hence ANH congratulates our brothers: Ekale, Boniface, James, David, Festus & Abdullahi for updating their knowledge in what matters. We @ ANH say the sky is your limit

AHN cornered DJ Bishop @ a birthday bash organised by Afrilink Exotic Mini-Shop director for his son's 3rd birthday. DJ Bishop who spins the wheel @ Savanah every Saturday said that he represents Nigeria & Africa as a whole. He said that he always wants his African people to feel @ home in Budapest, hence the need to attract their emotions. Although he confinded that "moneywise" it isn't good, the need to bring Africa to Europe is much more important for this University of Benin graduate who says "Music is my dream & my dream is music. I'm the boss when on the turntable". ANH wishes him more success.
