Relating African Governments To The Tribal Wisdom of 

The Dakota Indians

 

By BH OKOT

kampala

Uganda.

The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from generation to generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount." 

 

However, most African governments employ more advanced strategies with 'dead horses' like;

 

1) Buying a stronger whip. 

 2) Changing riders.

3) Appointing a committee to study the horse.

4) Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride dead horses.

5) Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

6) Reclassifying the dead horse as living impaired.

7) Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

8) Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.

9) Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead horse's performance.

10) Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve the dead horse's performance.

11) Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.

12) Rewriting the expected performance requirements

for all horses.

13) Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

 

The Continent has struggled with making projects work. However,we keep making the same mistakes and less than half of them succeed.This article is to reawaken our governments to think outside the box.

 

#StopMakingTheSameMistakes 

REIGN OF TERROR

REIGN OF TERROR
Inspired by the tutorial-THE ENVIRONMENT

The trees sway in sorrow,
What means of survival should they borrow?
Should they just hide in a barrow,
Afraid of what will occur tomorrow?

The rivers have flown into a rage,
And are thirsty for revenge,
They condemn the man of this age,
Who fulfills them to the brim with sewage,
Is that what they teach in college?

Let's cry out for the ozone layer,
Gasps does she for lack of air.
She may even lack an heir,
For she was caught unawares,
with her bottom bare,
Her strength, no where,
And now her future is nuclear.

An age of error,
A time of fear,
The earth could tear,
But maybe that would be better,
Than Man's reign of terror!
