Your parents have been married for close to 30 years. You don’t see them as role models for marriage, but two social media couples who got married and divorced in less than two years are making you scared to get married. You see that you don’t have sense.
One of the telling things about our society at our functions is how we behave around food:
1. People loading more food on their plates than they can finish, and without feeling ashamed of the heaps on their plates
2. The fact that people have to be served, because they don’t know how to share limited resources
3. When given a chance for self service, people serving themselves without any regard to those behind them that might not get. Five pieces of chicken are left in the dish, and someone serves himself three of them (with 20 people behind him)
4. People eating more than they need, just because there is free food
5. People acting impatient as if they would die if they took 10 more minutes before their turn to serve (okulookalooka/ okululunkana)
6. Serving the second time (double) before others get anything, and pretending not to have eaten at all
7. Packing food to take home when some people present haven’t got
8. Catering service providers hiding food.
While these habits might seem isolated and only related to food, they ALL vividly manifest themselves when we are in charge of any resources that have to be shared. Think about it. Our biggest problems as a country are around GREED, SELFISHNESS, DISHONESTY, and lack of a sense of SHAME
Heavenly Father, we thank You for grace that outlasted our mistakes. Yesterday had some. You're still here.
Father, bless our hands financially, Lord. Not just the job but the idea in our head we've been scared to start. The business plan sitting in the Notes app. The skill people undercharge for.
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord. (Malachi 3:10)
Father, as You multiplied five loaves for thousands, multiply what we have beyond what our math allows. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
@Kabugo_ Amen and Amen. I decree and declare that I am a life giving spirit, may everywhere I step experience the life of God in Jesus matchless Name I pray and believe. Amen.
One thing I love about this country, is we all share the same suffering even with people who voted for certain politicians.
A Neighbor of mine is in trouble, the new sovereignty bill if passed into law by his dear politician will see him disclose all his NGO funders who’ve for the last couple of years given him money with no accountability from either the donors or government whatsoever.
He will equally be required to see for clearance from the ministry/Minister who currently isn’t his friend because in 2021, he supported a different candidate who was standing against the minister. He funded most of his campaigns.
Today, met this guy and he was cursing everyone. And you know what I did? I reminded him of the words I told him.
“You having the right to vote is okay, but voting someone who doesn’t care about you or the welfare of this country isn’t the best thing”
I also reminded him that “No body is safe in a sinking ship/boat”. Bad governance will always find you at the comfort of your own home. And once it finds you, it will bite hard.
I’m actually praying that this law passes so that some people get to learn a lesson. Most especially the Elite who say they don’t involve themselves in politics. This time round, politics has chosen them.
I want people in the diaspora to be called foreigners. I want them to feel the pinch. So that next time they support leaders who actually represent their interests.
For us since fuel prices are high, we’ve been advised to stay at home.
We shall all taste it 😜😜😜

BoU Governor (Economics PhD, Liverpool): Sovereignty Bill will affect our reserves, and lead to significant currency depreciation. A country without reserves isn’t sovereign. I see the NRM has deployed @job_matua & @TumukundeTT—who are economically illiterate—to defend the Bill.
