#AfricanLivesMatter I think like you all ,as a child I never enjoyed or wanted to take bitter medicine. I suspect that you - like me- loved all the deadly stuff like sweets & fizzy drinks ,especially Coke. You may have loved fast food & adding salt to your food too. That's life!

#AfricanLivesMatter As you grow and mature as well as study , you quickly realise the cost of sugar & salt to your health and quality of life. BUT there are a lot more people in fast-food shops than there are in health shops & vegan restaurants. Fast food& fizzy still rules

#AfricanLivesMatter Life is like that . The moral, ethical, intellectual and substantive stuff ( healthy food) is never going to be as popular as social, political or economic fast food & fizzy . The love of life lived fast ,easy & showy is always going to be more popular

#AfricanLivesMatter The paradox of poverty ,deprivation & underdevelopment is that - without critical consciousness- it embraces a false consciousness that views redemption in having "THINGS" as opposed to transformation of systems that produce poverty, inequality & exclusion

#AfricanLivesMatter The reason why Prophets & Celebrities are more appealing is conversely related to two factors :
1. The mistaking of having THINGS for BEING fully human,and
2. The failure of society to address INHUMANE conditions of poverty& inequality in practical ways

#AfricanLivesMatter Crowds are fickle and masses also suffer from FOMO(fear of missing out).Crowds have a LOTTO psyche "One day is One Day",the potential for a lucky break. Hence the Fake it until you Make it culture.Those who lack try hard to associate with those who have things

#AfricanLivesMatter Life is modelled , as is leadership, power, riches and happiness. Ask yourself why villagers in rural areas wake up everyday and wear suits or jackets in all that sweltering heat ? And a tie on a torn collar ? The appearance of wellbeing and success consumes

#AfricanLivesMatter You can be deceived and also deceive yourself by believing that crowds love you . No , they love you in a particular position and in possession of particular things . If you lose your THINGS, power&position, you'll also lose the crowds .Simple ,it won't work

#AfricanLivesMatter Ultimately in life ,a fool with THINGS or POWER will be respected and listened to more than a wise man with NOTHING and no POWER. The genius of our time is he or she that can marry CELEBRITY, COURAGE, POWER, WEALTH, WISDOM, INTEGRITY & INTELLECT.

#AfricanLivesMatter He or she that owns a lot of cattle&a farm can feed the hungry ,grow food ,get milk & meat, pay lolobolo and do many other things . But he or she that studied agriculture, vet science or animal husbandry knows the science about cropping,dairy & cattle ranching
