Brainwashed but Educated

You see, the system has never had a problem letting a good man rule a country. Why? Because as long as the system itself remains in control, that good man is still boxed in, weakened, and limited. He becomes a symbol, not real power. That’s how the game is played. Smooth, silent, dangerous.

And yet, this is the kind of young, sharp-minded leadership Africa desperately needs. Minds that question, that don’t just clap hands at rallies and shout slogans. Minds that look at the future and say, “Nah, this can’t be it.” Because if Africa doesn’t think forward, we’ll forever be surviving instead of living.

Let’s be honest, neh. One of the biggest diseases killing us is division. Tribalism. Party loyalty over truth. Regional beef. All these things were planted, watered, and now they’re growing wild in our heads. Breaking this brainwashed mindset is not optional anymore. It’s a must. Ask God of us, yes. But also ask truth of us. Because truth over propaganda should be the new religion.

We must learn to love our own. Not just shout “Africa for Africans” on social media and then hate the next person because they’re from a different region or speak a different language. That’s hypocrisy, my guy. In this new social age, love for our own people should be what wakes us up every morning, not jealousy, not crab mentality.

Now here’s the madness part. The West imposed borders in Africa. Straight lines on a map, no respect for culture, history, or people. They chopped us up like kapana portions. But look at them now. They live united. They trade with each other, protect each other, back each other up. Meanwhile, we’re here fighting over surnames and accents. How sway? 🥹

And just when Africans are starting to ask questions, to wake up small-small, now comes the next distraction. Tax, tax, tax. Heavy taxes, confusing systems, pressure everywhere. Another form of slavery, but this time it’s legal, documented, and wrapped in “development”. You work harder, you earn more, but you’re still broke. The chains just look smarter now.

Namibia is not innocent in this. We like acting calm, peaceful, “we’re okay”. But beneath that silence is frustration, unemployment, educated youth with no opportunities, and leaders who talk big English but deliver small results. We must stop worshipping titles and start demanding accountability. Respect is earned, not inherited.

Africa doesn’t need more noise. It needs thinking. Namibia doesn’t need more slogans. It needs truth. Because until we unplug from propaganda and reconnect with each other, the system will keep winning, and we’ll keep clapping for our own oppression.

Wake up. Think deeper. Love harder.

The future is watching us.
