Yoruba proverb:Ara
m be ti mo fe da, k'aiye ma pa kadara mi da.
(All things being equal,
there are wonders that I will perform.)
The word 'Arambe' is coined
from the Yoruba saying... "ara m be
ti mo fe da"
- there are wonders that I want to perform - and the Swahili
word "harambee" meaning work together.

murder and dismemberment, in 2005, of Kenyan immigrant
Farah Swaleh Noor at the hands of the so called Irish
‘Scissor Sisters’.
