THE GREAT WESTERN CONFUSION: HUMAN RIGHTS OR JUST WILD DESIRES?

Ah, the world we live in today—so modern, so progressive, so… utterly ridiculous! And who gets the short end of the stick? Africans, of course. Why? Because we have this magical ability to accept any absurdity thrown our way, especially when it comes wrapped in fancy Western packaging.

Suddenly, everything is "human rights." Oh yes, apparently, human rights now include personal desires, bedroom preferences, and whatever else someone wakes up feeling like today. Confused? Me too! But hey, don't worry—if you don't blindly accept it, they'll label you backward, uncivilized, or my personal favorite, intolerant.

And then we have the Woke Generation—those self-proclaimed activists who think they’re the enlightened ones, here to “educate” the rest of us poor, uninformed souls. You know them—the ones who scream "love is love" while shoving their agenda down everyone’s throat. The same ones who preach tolerance but will cancel you in a heartbeat if you dare to have a different opinion. Hypocrisy at its finest.

The real tragedy? Some of our so-called leaders are too busy stuffing their pockets to even pretend they care about African values. Culture? Heritage? Morals? Ah, who needs those when there's foreign aid to secure and luxury trips to attend? Let’s be real—some of them would sell their own shadows if the price was right.

And here’s the worst part: this Western circus is being performed right on our African soil, and some of us are happily clapping along. But enough is enough. It’s high time we remind the world that African cultures are not up for sale. Namibia, and Africa as a whole, needs to take a stand.

Western influence? Keep it. We’ll pass. Our traditions, our beliefs, and our identity are not bargaining chips. Period. Neeman!😌🙄

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...
