Stuff not hard to like

Educating the Village

There is/should be a saying

"educate an African, educate the whole village"

And when i think of it, i feel like laughing. Because i have lived the saying prolly more than anyone becz my father is a great believer of it.

And now a pal of mine is getting right into it/has gotten right into it and wonders what to do.

I ask

Have you ever heard the word NO and she says she has only that it is a very difficult word to understand. NO. Infact if you can master the word NO i tell her, we will be half way there.

Ok, so what am i saying.

Educating the village means your clan members, villagers, family members think that your pockets are BOTTOMLESS pits. Your meagre income is to be divided to all and sundry despite the conditions of life here in this great city.

While i believe truly in giving, i think there is A limit. And the limit is to the truly needy.

Maybe i should write a book on how to say NO.

I am seeing many more of my contemporaries falling into this trap every day. What follows is they start making excuses on their lives.

I can't marry because my sister is still in school and i am paying her school fees. Then i ask can her parents pay it, they say YES. So what? If your father/mother can pay her daughters' school fees why are you doing it for her??? To show gratitude they say. What they probably don't know that it simply never ends there. My dad has educated his siblings and is now educating their children.

Reduced savings, low home ownership. I mean anyone who has ever lost a job like i have knows the magic of savings. And more so in these days of job insecurity.

Another day an distant uncle of mine called me asking me to tell my dad that her sister has no bus fare. I don't understand. Get your hands and word, don't bug me about busfare. If you are truly needy like you are an orphan and young i will get the money for you but look here, Mother Teresa(God bless her soul) is gone.

I don't think it's wise to encourage people to laze around and then dip your hands into your shallow pockets and finance their laziness.

I had a laugh recently when i told my cuzo that i was broke and needed money to make my hair and she told me why i couldn't ask my dad. That was fine until she said "After all, he is no longer looking after his brothers because they have jobs now"

Anyway, is it possible to educate the whole village and suffer less consequences.

This thing

Called love

Yeah that word. Sacred word.

So in some moments of temporary insanity, i had decided to give up freedoms which i know is unconstitutional to do.

The freedom of expression say i think you are a goat, i just cant say it becoz it is not in the best interests of love. And i am meant to say "that was a lovely evening" Even when i really think i should have been watching La muher (kidding).

The freedom of movement. I can't move freely without saying i have gone to this and this place and i am going with so and so and i will be back at 20.10.02. Whuthufuk!!!

The freedom of NOT TALKING, is that the same as Freedom of Expression. Because when i am silent i am met with "are you ok?" are you normal (for friggin sake), you are weird...do i say more. For some reasons in the 3rd week of the Cycle i am NOT NORMAL. But you need remind me not, because i so know and you know Wut! I hate, no REally hate it when some one reminds me of that. It's like telling me you have a bloated stomach. bull crap i know that too. I like to be left alone. Usually there are people i want to be with at that time and that month it might not be you.
So my I don'twanttotalktoyoudisorder is ok with me.I have lived with it for years. Sometimes i don't want to talk to clients. Unfortunately not even intensive therapy from Dr.Phil's books can help because as this gal once said its not possible to know what it happens. Maybe its those devils fighting over my blood (ngai fafa)

The freedom of dreaming about having a Clooney KIN. Either George the one of Oceans 11,12,13 or even the senior Clooney are entertained. And sometimes when i can forgive religion Tom Cruise. faith works wonders. In one second you are ready to give up ambitions of having a Clooney kin and settling for this XXXX kins. Look that is a huge sacrifice and again unconstitutional ( i kid you not)

So the temporary insanity is over and then whoever it is i think of sacrificing the freedoms (this is permanent insanity) this is what the LOVE CALCULATOR says, am i doomed or WHAT???

I can go in peace. Lovely free weekend
