HIV and More

HIV and AIDS oh man the are on a rampage. Its sad note that most African coverage of news are more concerned with politics. This deadly disease had claimed most of my friends relatives and others. It is sad to note that some people I know that have HIV are going about shagging around. Yes they are entitled to sex life but surely you would expect one to learn a lesson and change their ways. Some people just don't value life at all. Public awareness is on going but i think authorities can do more. Most people in villages are ill informed . Its alright for people making informed choices, like sleeping around knowing the consequences. Its sad to note that most people when they become successful tend to embark on the skirt chasing business. Yes all the women who did not give them a second look now seem to be willing to spread their legs because of their success. coupled with the alcohol intoxication men seem to bring out the devil in themselves. Raping women, children and their wives oh yes you African Men stop raping your wives and children. It is unheard of in African culture for people to say the husband raped his wife, yet it is common practice. House girls are at the receiving end as well they are being raped every day and can not say a thing for fear of loosing their jobs for they have mouths to feed. What is going on in this world come on people if you can help it at least wear a condom and make sure the sex is consensual. Other wise abstain, there is Aids out there and its killing people. Oh yeah stop blaming alcohol personally i can not stand men who can't control their drinking.

Joy of life

Umm i excited just had another addition to family Another boy. My family is growing big my other son is now learning to speak. I feel i am blessed for having a wonderful wife and two kids. I'm happy about my kids not because they are sons but just because they are mine. I will teach them all the nonsense i have learned through the years. Honestly there is so much nonsense that one picks along the way. Oh behold my kids for i big will your father has so much to show you. Well i must admit i am crazy about my kids I'm not gonna bother them that much. it is best sometimes to let kids make their own mistakes and learn. I have always been rebellious i personally don't believe in alot of these cultures and norms. Life is what you make even Jesus saw the need to simplify things by reducing the ten commandment to two "Love thy God with all your heart and do unto others as you have them do unto you" I'm not going into religion here and please spare me the details. I just think that Christians and Moslem's are both patronising, nothing personal. Some of our cultures need to reflect the changing times, like the concept that a man can cheat because he is a man. Well in Malawi i would say we are doomed. how can we change when the policy makers are the same ones who have been there since independence We need new blood. Not the ones that get swallowed into the old timers world of corruption and greed. I have seen intelligent people being reduced to nothing but puppets because of money. Most people need to be open minded and embrace change make way fellow Africans.

The budget delay

I have noted with regret the conduct by the so called representatives of the people of Malawi in parliament. While their pockets are being filled with tax payers money for doing absolutely nothing they leave the masses to hang. Yes all of you need to sober up no one cares about your differences the issue who is wrong all right is beyond the scope of this discussion. Ordinary folks just want the budget. As much as i do not recommend the sentiments echoed by the president that he will send the army to shut down parliament if they Parliamentarians do not pass the budget. I can however understand the presidents frustrations. MP's need to stop being selfish and pass the budget surely they can then work their differences later. Remember people are watching i bet most of you will lose your seats and i hope you do, nothing personal but you have not served the people. My fellow Malawians let this be a lesson. Oh yes section 65 is important but the speakers hands are tied anyway so why bang on about it
