Adulting Is Hard and the World Is a Mess 🌊

Eish. Let’s not lie to each other. The world is a proper mess, and people’s expectations? Suffocating. Everyone wants something from you, your time, your money, your energy, like you’re a walking ATM. And after all that? Still not enough. So what’s the move? Lower the volume, boss. Mute the noise and focus on you. You’re not a vending machine. You don’t press a button and happiness comes out. Voetsek with that. 🤑

Here’s the truth people hate. The world doesn’t care about you. Yoh, shocker. But once you stop begging for validation from people who wouldn’t even fetch water for you, life gets lighter. Healthy societies move differently. People mind their business, coexist, and don’t need applause for existing. No participation trophies. No “did you see me?” energy. Sharp sharp. Less drama. More peace.

Men and women are not meant to be each other’s everything. Full stop. That idea is exhausting, unrealistic, and honestly nonsense. We’re not built for nonstop emotional chaos and 24/7 availability. Stop acting strong for people who wouldn’t do the same for you. Your peace is more important than someone else’s mood swings. Choose yourself. Always.

Social media is busy shouting, “Be that girl! Be that guy!” Always glowing. Always grinding. Always online. Haibo, relax. 🤑 Real life is messy. Sometimes you’re tired. Sometimes you’re broke. Sometimes you’re just over it, and that’s normal. Do things that make *you* happy, not things that look good on Instagram. Don’t wait for someone to complete you. You’re already whole, my friend. Fill your cup and guard it like kapana at closing time.

Set boundaries and stand on them. Say no and don’t explain yourself. Not everyone deserves access to you. Cut off the energy vampires, the drama starters, the ones who only come around when they need something. Life gets better fast when you stop entertaining nonsense. Trust me.

At the end of the day, it’s about perspective. You can let the world stress you out, or you can rise above it like, “Aweh, do your worst.” Lower the volume. Focus on yourself. Protect your peace. Let them talk. You’re busy living 🌊🔥

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...

NAMIBIA’S NEW PRESIDENT: NETUMBO NANDI-NDAITWAH—THE ULTIMATE SCRIPTWRITER IN THIS POLITICAL COMEDY

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the grand Namibian political theatre, where our newly elected president, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, has taken center stage with her bold and radical plans—cue the drumroll—for massive job creation! Yes, you heard that right. Our dear leader has promised the youths of Namibia employment, and the only question that remains is: How? Where? And in which economic sector exactly? Or are we supposed to just sit back, trust the process, and hope jobs magically rain down like manna from heaven?   Now, let’s move to the real comedy gold—her latest blockbuster announcement: Free education… but only in 2029! Yes, because, of course, the best way to help struggling students today is by telling them, "Just hang in there for another four years; free education is on the way!" Genius, isn’t it? Why can’t these changes be implemented immediately when she takes office on March 21, 2025? Oh, wait—I forgot. Politicians have mastered the art of long-term promises with...

POLITICAL INTERFERENCE OR PURE RESISTANCE? THE ONGOING TENSION BETWEEN IUM AND THE SWAPO GOVERNMENT

Namibia—the land where visionaries build, and politicians plot. In this latest episode of “Who Wants to Control a Private University?,” we find the SWAPO government and Dr. David Namwandi, the founder of IUM, caught in a classic “cat and dog” relationship. And let’s be honest—it’s getting old.   Dr. Namwandi, a man who once graced Parliament under the SWAPO banner, has long since washed his hands of politics. But somehow, the drama never left him. After his term ended, he focused on what actually matters—education. Yet, for reasons known only to those in high offices, the government just can’t seem to let him or IUM breathe.   The ‘Generous’ Offer: Give Us 50% of Your University Here’s a fun fact: a while back, the SWAPO government reportedly wanted a 50% stake in IUM. Yes, you read that right. Half of a private institution, just handed over—because why not? Maybe they thought Dr. Namwandi would be so overwhelmed with gratitude that he’d sign over his life’s work wit...
