I am tired

(All photos courtesy of Google)



I am tired, extremely tired. I am officially tired. I have lost hope, I do not see anything or light or good. It has reached a point, I wake up in the morning and try as much as I can to avoid anything on our media. I don’t know if you are tired. Do you like what we are watching in the media? Is it entertaining to you? Maybe I am getting old. Don’t get me wrong I am not saying the media personnel are doing wrong, no, they are doing exactly what is expected of them. But, I wish they could spare me the politics.

On the 20th of October 2015, more than 150 minors were found a club. Drinking, in possession of ‘weed’ and having condoms. Condoms for what? Some of them were younger than my small sister. My sister is 12. A child of 9 years is at a club, drinking, and smoking and has condoms in his or her pockets. Did that sink in? A child of 9 (NINE) was caught at a club, in the evening after having stayed there since morning, drinking, smoking and having condoms in his or her pocket. Are you tired yet?



UNEP with its headquarters located in our country has had the misfortune of one of their employees using his title to receive immunity for using his wife as a boxing doll. This man went to the lady’s parents and asked for their permission to marry her (I am speculating here) so that he can go beat her as much as he wants because he is a diplomat. Being a diplomat has got to be the best job in the world. You can do whatever you want, and nothing will ever happen to you. That is the life.
Even writing this blog is making me tired. I don’t even want to touch on the political situation.


PLEASE NOTE: Any remarks made by a politician who comes from my background does not expressly mean I support or agree with their ideology. I do not choose tribe and love everyone equally. I will not harm a soul because of elections. We already passed through enough in 2007-2008, no more.

I am tired extremely tired, are you? There are some stories I won’t bother writing, I am just too tired. I don’t want to repeat it, because I will spread my tiredness to you.


Maybe, just maybe if I sleep, tomorrow will be fine? Maybe things will be different? Maybe I will stop being tired? Maybe I am old?

Men, we need to wake up

(all photos courtesy of Google). The world is evolving. Time is changing. Women are gaining power. Men are seated, watching, waiting for their turn. In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to

The Most Amazing Story Never Written

(Made on Canva) Alright. We need to write a short film and shoot it by the end of the month. Ok. What story are we telling? What stories excite the masses? I am not too sure. I think drama has been overwritten. Action? You think we can pull it off? We are going to need a budget for that. Not to mention we are going to need a trainer, an action director, a stunt manager, a doctor, practice the stunts, different days for shooting, a good director of photography and fit actors? Hahaha. Why do you think we would need fit actors? You trying to say we can’t find any? From the people we have. I highly doubt it. What would our actors be fighting against? Aliens? They never come to take over the world here. Zombies, our actors would run and leave us alone on the set. Moreover, we couldn’t get it approved. We don’t fight wars and we never have had heroes we can write about. How about we check online? All I found were stories about aliens, zombies and things that would never happen this side of t

Why an antagonist is important to a story

  (Made on Canva) Who is an antagonist? An antagonist is the villain of a story. It can be a human being, a natural phenomenon like a hurricane, a disease, an animal, an idea or a fictional character like a dinosaur. The aim of the antagonist is to create chaos and wreak havoc while creating obstacles for the protagonist (hero). The protagonist has to find a solution to the uncomfortable situation caused by the antagonist. In story-telling, the antagonist propels the story forward by creating an inciting incident that forces the protagonist to go on a journey to remedy the situation and restore balance. In the Dark Knight (2008), the Joker creates chaotic situations in the city of Gotham with the aim of killing the Batman. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos is looking for rings that will give him ultimate power and make him the supreme being of the universe. Why are antagonists not popular? Being an antagonist is not very appealing, especially in the acting business becau
