Boy ran the midfield, what a baller.

🇨🇮 Despite losing today’s match was all about Christ Inao Oulaï for me.

What a player.

Won the most duels (10) and completed the most dribbles (5) on the pitch.

- 90% pass accuracy (45/50 passes completed)
- 4 recoveries
- 2 interceptions

Looked so comfortable on the ball. Very press resistant. Aggressive in his duels. Dynamic.

Special player for only 20-years-old.

Take risks. Enter industries they said were not for you.

Sometimes you must bite off more than you can chew, because growth teaches you how to chew.

Mistakes are part of building what did not exist before.

I have spent some time looking at and comparing unit trusts from @AllanGrayOrbis Namibia, @GroupCapricorn, @mandgsa Namibia, NAM Coronation, Ninety One Namibia, @OldMutualNam, and @STANLIB Namibia.

Just to be clear: this is not all the providers we have. Namibia has around 19 or more unit trust providers and about 80 unit trust funds in total. I have only looked at some of them, especially those where the information was easy to find. Sometimes accessing fund data is not as straightforward as it should be.

@gwaShuuya_4th I love the disruptive approach too but execution is too rushed, too reactive, and too show business. Interesting times ahead.

[Tate_Pius🇳🇦 @LisiasPius]

@gwaShuuya_4th @laaaities Honestly idk where the entire country is going. The amount of trial and error is disruptive. Let’s see where the wind takes us.

Just a Reminder

It doesn't matter how good you look neh, or your manners. You'll not be married by somebody from a wealthy family if you're not coming from one. That's not how rich people contaminate their families. They don't even care about your love or the love theur child have for you. Let that sink in.

They can sleep with you but that's about it. If none of your parents or grandparents touched and multiplied a million, you're poor. If you can't stop working and still be good, can't take a vacation without saving first, in fact if you're not employed by your family, you're poor.

The people you call broke here are your category. You fit no where in a rich family. Conversations aren't even the same. People there talk N$100,000 like it's a 10 dollar. Remember when President Pohamba's kid got tenders. It was being said that "Ounona womsamame Ota wu mono oihuna, kawu na sha". We also consider Nujoma humble and poor, with a worth of N$100 million. Where do you pass there with a car and house on installment? The families we want to align with buy things cash.

I don't think majority of us really understand the gaps between us and families we want to marry into. I once said here, there are houses you go to and you're offered up to 5 drinks. And it's like that everyday, not when there's a ceremony. Just look in your house right now and tell me what you'd offer a guest.

Majority of us here on Twitter, we're poor, colleagues. What you call success now, somebody's grandfather called it success in 1982. Other people's grandparents/parents were Diplomats, Lawyers, Economists already in the 90s, mhanga nyokokulu ali ike ta tende eengogo ye ta landifa ombike neenyandi.

I think in terms dating and marriage we're delusional about what we deserve. An ED wouldn't want her child marrying a child of a Teacher/Principal unless that child is a top Manager somewhere in a top company. A Minister would have a problem with her child dating a child of a just anybody. A Doctor would want her child dating a child of just anybody. It's like you're unwanted weed.

That is the reality. Stop insulting and looking down on people in your category. Otherwise you're just like how Coloureds look at us and think they're better, but over there, they're actually black too.

Last words: rich kids are rich because their grandparents and parents made compromises. Their grandparents were like us. A normal member of the ploritariat. They just made good financial decisions.

You're the generation that must make compromises and good financial decisions. You'll enjoy your wealth from your 50s and 60s, 40s if you're lucky. But the people who will enjoy it fully are your kids and grandkids. You, you must work, for them. If our parents made the great financial decisions and life choices, we'd not be waking up to be at work at 8. We'd have people waking up for us while we come in at 10 after resting properly, having had breakfast and a nice shower.

Now we are having dreams being chased by elephants. The next second you're running with bags because a motor gate is closing, then you're lying on a flying plane and fall off into quicksand. The weird dreams are because you missed your alarm. You wake up and only have 5 minutes to take a shower, brush your teeth, iron, get dressed and get to work. This is all because of the decisions our parents made or did not make.

[Kalenga @Hamnjela]

you can actually bypass unit trust fees if you are willing to do the work yourself.

Some unit trusts perform really well, but the fees eat into your returns over time. In some cases, when you include advisor fees, admin costs, and management fees, you can be paying anywhere between 4–6% annually without even fully noticing it.

Now let’s look at real examples. Funds like the Old Mutual Growth Fund have delivered strong returns, around 30%+ in good years, even reaching close to 37%, but the total cost can be high once all fees are included.

Then you have the Capricorn Equity Fund, which delivered around 57.63% over 1 year, with a Total Expense Ratio (TER) of 0.60% and a management fee of 0.50%. The Capricorn Property Fund delivered around 40.82%, with a TER of 1.35% and a management fee of 1.25%. These are strong results, and in these cases the fees are relatively reasonable compared to other funds in the market.

But here’s what most people don’t understand. These funds are not doing anything magical. They are simply investing in real, accessible assets, companies like Naspers, FirstRand, AngloGold, and property groups like NEPI Rockcastle and Growthpoint. These are the same assets you can access yourself.

So instead of paying ongoing fees, you can take a different approach. You study the fund, look at its top holdings and asset allocation, and understand how the portfolio is structured. Then you go to a platform like EasyEquities and build a similar portfolio yourself. You can even set up automatic monthly contributions so it runs in the background just like a unit trust would.

At that point, you are essentially doing what the fund manager is doing, but without paying someone else every year. Over time, that difference in fees becomes serious money. It compounds, adds up, and can be the difference between a good portfolio and a great one.

But let’s be honest. This approach is not for everyone. It requires time, discipline, and a willingness to learn. You need to understand what you are buying, stay consistent, and not panic when the market moves. If you don’t have that, then unit trusts are still a great option because they simplify everything for you.

But if you are willing to take control, learn the system, and stay patient, you can build your own portfolio, and potentially achieve the same returns or even better over time. @thee_serim

@gwaShuuya_4th Our government never puts up the cash. Hence all the bad deals. We need a resource development fund.

[Toys Ndjebela @toys_ndjebela]

Given our small population, Namibia’s competitive advantage does not lie in its domestic consumer market. Let’s not kid ourselves.

We must market ourselves as a resource frontier - rich in minerals, and full of potential for renewable energy, oil and gas - and as a strategic gateway for goods and services destined for the broader global market.

Our population size alone will never be sufficient to lure the likes of Uber, Walmart or Barclays on the promise of local demand. That is simply a structural reality that must, at best, help us redefine who we really are. We must make more noise about our strategic value to the global market.

At best, we can become a production and export platform, as opposed to asking Nando’s to set up shop here.

@gabiikela NWR is 20 years behind. Very lazy work ethic all round. Very low standards. So many things need to change. From organizational culture, customer service, maintenance, food, booking platform.

At the end of the day, we are all one as an African people. The worst predator against us is the west. They still prey on us, they gave us bibles and picked up rifles. If one of us falls, we all fall. So, we have to be united for a greater cause. Cause we are all we got. 🌍

Journalism vs State Security

We should understand not only how Journalism works but also how State Security works.

Firstly, we should clear the misconception that the Journalist was pushed out because of the question. That's a lie, colleagues. We all can see in the video. The security apparatus reacted to her movements.

The president was kind. She spoke to her and guided her that it was not time for press conference, so the opportunity to ask was not denied. It was just not the right time for questions of any sort. You can see even Security were calming her down to just listen, but she was just asking for her phone, which she was told she'll get it outside.

That was not right of her. Journalists mostly bully people, invade privacies and perimeters. It's part of their work, but also understand that other people have their work to do too, parameters, as well as that your aggression will not always be met with grace.

On security: never make funny movements around a president, especially not one that had misterious car accidents and smokes coming out of her car. To state security, you're a threat if you cross the perimeters. Some of you will one day die because of ignorance.

On security: even if you're searched, there are so many ways to kill a person. It's not always with traditional weapons like knives and guns. The world has advanced and state security cannot assume and undermine that a journalist is not trained somehow.

It can also be that the move can be seen as a test to see how State security operates and where the weaknesses are. Jemima may not be the killer, but she can be used to test security. Provoke and we study, even for 5 years. State security can be getting studied through numerous provocations and crossing parameters to see how security reacts, how fast, etc. That is how security would interpret her moves of trying to follow the president.

You need also to understand that state security aren't serving Netumbo Nandi Ndaitwah. They're serving the portfolio of President. They're trained, educated and are doing their job. They don't even need the President to tell them what to do. They make their own judgement and in fact they most likely instruct the president which is the safest way to move.

Let's not play around in the name of journalism. You don't have immunity to move around however you want around a president simply because you're a journalist.

Not chased out because of the question. It was because of her movements.
