Theres something else in the atmosphere that nobody has quite decoded how to address. Vijana wamejaza fake smiles from morning to evening,in efforts to camouflage the sadness lying within them. There is a wave of sadness and defeatism among the youth,that is emerging as a result of the uncertainty in their future. With no support or someone to hold their hand,they have been disposed to an insane world,and the society expects them to maintain sanity.
Adulting has not been very welcoming to these young men. What they were taught life would be after school,is not what they have found. They are in total confusion,they know they should be doing something,they feel the potential burning in them,but have no idea what,or where to start. They cannot put these thoughts across to their parents,because even the parents themselves have played a part in subjecting them to this misery.
The parents have put so much expectation from them,simply because they took them to school,and they believe that is all that is needed. Inakua ni vigumu sana kumwambia mzazi umeshindwa kuipata namna ya kujianzilisha kimaisha ata baada ya kukupa elimu ya juu. And in this,as each day passes,the burning flame in these young man diminishes as darkness replaces it. He will begin to hate himself ,and everything around him. It is a silent pandemic,and the silence itself is a call for help.
To the man who left his Afrikan country to go live in Arab nations to work,
Here is my unsolicited advice:
Don't send money to your relatives back home. Save that money.
Don't task your relatives to set up a business, or buy land or build a house for you, because you will gnash your teeth in poverty. β They will fleece you.
Don't listen to financial advice from your siblings. Most of the time, they are misleading you so that they can steal your money.
Don't be tricked into sending your siblings to withdraw your money just because they told you there is a good deal somewhere.
I know you want to return to Africa and continue living among your blood, but don't fall for the get-rich-quick ideas your siblings and relatives are selling to you.
Remember, you are living in a country that has stringent laws. Some of you live in shared hostels just to save the extra coin.
You are sacrificing yourself in a foreign country to secure a better future; therefore, don't be gullible.
"Bro, there is this business idea."
"Bro, if you can buy a car, I can run an ΓΌber for you."
"Bro, there is an excellent FH Lorry. If you buy the lorry, I can manage its transport business for you."
No. Don't accept.
Don't fall for these ideas. You will lose your money.
Save your money and invest according to your goals.
If you return to your country and get broke, your relatives will be the first to mock you.
"Look, he went to Qatar and came back with nothing. He is a fool!"
β Yet, you diligently sent them money whenever there was a problem back home.
Protect your earnings!
