Being a girl is wanting to save money but also wanting your hair done, nails done, gym membership, skincare, cute outfits, and a little treat every day 😭
When President Bingu wa Mutharika collapsed, there was no medical capacity to save his life. If perhaps the capacity was there, Bingu would still have been alive. But listen, our politicians have learnt nothing from that incident. They do not want to invest in our healthcare system because when they get sick, they can fly abroad for treatment, a luxury most Malawians will never afford. So they will steal billions, award each other contracts worth millions and inflate them into billions, allow politically connected individuals to win billions from government through court cases, and then use that money to buy expensive cars, build mansions and seek treatment overseas, while ordinary Malawians are left to die in dilapidated, underfunded and ancient hospitals that lack basic medicines, equipment and services. The irony is that when a real emergency strikes, politicians end up at the mercy of the very same broken healthcare system they neglect. You cannot quickly fly to South Africa from Malawi if you have a cardiac arrest now. If the President’s convoy were involved in a serious accident while speeding through the potholes of Dedza, the nearest hospital would be Dedza District Hospital, and he could die there in the hands of uninspired and overworked nurses and clinical officers and in the terrible conditions of the hospital. There will be no air ambulance immediately available to fly him to South Africa or India. In those moments, the quality of the local healthcare system becomes the difference between life and death. We need to learn from our mistakes and fix our healthcare system. Last year, while in India, I discussed the possibility of building a cardiac centre in Malawi with potential partners. Our politicians showed no interest. Perhaps we will only learn when the next tragedy strikes, and it will strike!
I hope when you watch #ThePolygamist, you’ll watch beyond the drama …
Your greatest lesson should be to decenter marriage, husbands and men altogether.
You can have them; but they shouldn’t be your entire identity. ❤️🙏🏽
The Polygamist on Netflix is not a show about a man with many women. It’s a show about what happens to women when they organise their entire lives around one undeserving man.
why do "balls" imply toughness and "pussy" imply weakness when the slightest flick to the nuts sends a guy to his knees, yet a vagina can push out an entire being.?????
