LADIES, PAY ATTENTION: THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY MEN COMMIT

Let’s talk about why men get into relationships, shall we? We all know they typically fall into two categories: SEX and LOVE. It’s that simple, right? But guess what? When it comes to marriage, none of that really matters. What do they really marry for? STABILITY.

Hold on, before you get all defensive, let me break it down for you.

A man can love you with all his heart, and sure, he might be perfectly happy having sex with you for years—but don’t get too excited, because that doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be walking down the aisle anytime soon. Oh no. You see, once he meets a woman who actually brings some stability into his chaotic, emotionally-disastrous life, guess what happens? He’s proposing. Yep. Bye-bye, long-term girlfriend; hello, the woman who offers him peace of mind.

And by stability, I mean peace. A sense of calm. Because men, despite their bravado and overcompensating self-confidence, are looking for one thing when it comes to marriage: Can this woman provide them with some mental peace?

You’ve probably heard it before, right? “I love her, but I don’t think I can spend my life with her.” And you’re sitting there thinking, Excuse me, how can you love me but not marry me? Well, here’s the harsh truth: Men don’t care about the wedding dress, the fancy bridal party, or your Pinterest board filled with floral arrangements. What they’re really wondering is: Can this woman create a peaceful home for me? Can she take care of me, the kids, and our life together without bringing endless drama to my doorstep? Will she make my life easier, not harder?

If your idea of "fun" includes bickering over trivial things, dramatic outbursts, or stress-inducing chaos, guess what? He’s out. Men seek peace. They’ll stick around for the fun times, sure, but the second they get a taste of that sweet, drama-free life with someone else? Well, they might just propose. And you’ll wonder why it took him forever to commit to you in the first place.

So, here’s the kicker: It’s not just about love. It’s not just about sex. It's about RESPECT. You know, that tiny little thing that’s actually the secret ingredient to making him stick around for the long haul. Respect brings stability, and stability is what he’s really looking for. He doesn’t want to spend his life tiptoeing around someone who constantly creates chaos. So, if you’re wondering why he chose someone else after only a few months, ask yourself: Did I give him peace?

So, next time you're sitting there questioning why he hasn’t proposed yet, consider this: Does he feel respected? Does he feel like being with you brings him stability, or does he feel like he’s walking on eggshells?

If this brutally honest perspective resonated with you (or at least made you pause and think), don’t forget to comment and share!

GRADUATED BUT BLOCKED: NAMIBIA’S NEW NURSING EVALUATION FAILING FUTURE HEALTHCARE HEROES

In what should be a moment of triumph and relief for newly completed nursing students in Namibia, many are instead facing distress, uncertainty, and financial strain. The Nursing Council of Namibia (NCN) has introduced a new policy that requires student nurses, who have already completed their academic and clinical training, to undergo additional oral and written evaluations before they can graduate. While the intention may be to uphold professional standards, the reality on the ground tells a much more troubling story. A Policy of Double Standards One of the most glaring issues with this new policy is its selective application. Only newly completed student nurses are being subjected to this extra evaluation, while previously qualified nurses continue to practice without undergoing the same process. This creates an unfair and discriminatory standard. If the aim is truly to protect public health, shouldn’t all practicing nurses be held to the same level of scrutiny? The inconsistency is...

QUESTIONABLE SPENDING ON FAREWELL FOR NAMIBIA'S FOUNDING FATHER

By: Gideon Kapuka This week, the Namibian government allocated over 7 million Namibian dollars to transport the remains of former President Sam Nujoma across the country, to at least seven of Namibia’s fourteen regions. The question that immediately arises is: Is this an expenditure of genuine necessity? Namibia is currently battling a devastating drought, one that is projected to persist until the next harvest season. Against this backdrop of urgent national hardship, the government’s decision to deploy substantial state resources towards a national funeral, while vital issues such as drought relief and infrastructure demands remain unaddressed, is not only alarming but also difficult to defend. While there is no denying that Sam Nujoma, as the country’s founding president, made indelible contributions to Namibia’s historical and political landscape, the current approach to honoring his memory through such extravagant expenditure is deeply contentious. Acknowledging the legacy of a n...

A CRITIQUE OF SAM NUJOMA’S LEGACY

By: Gideon Kapuka  Sam Nujoma, the founding president of the Republic of Namibia, is undeniably a pivotal figure in the country's history. As a central leader in the struggle for independence from South African colonial rule, he is hailed as a hero who brought Namibia to the threshold of freedom. However, a critical examination of his presidency uncovers a more troubling legacy—one that is marked not only by the persistence of deep poverty and inequality but also by widespread corruption that undermined the very principles of the liberation struggle. While Nujoma's role in securing Namibia's independence is not up for debate, the economic and social promises that accompanied that liberation were left largely unfulfilled. The slogan of "it's our time now" is emblematic of a mindset that has plagued many post-independence African leaders, and Nujoma was no exception. Under his leadership, the wealth and resources of the nation became concentrated in the hands of...
