Zimbabwe - bob Marley & The Wailers




The situation of the past few days has shown that men are brave as well as stupid, some men will bear the tale of public warrior while privately they fight for themselves and their pockets. Decades ago a great man (albeit with his own faults) called Martin Luther King fought for the rights of a race, it is a shame that some in a generation of so called greats cannot fight for a nation.
We are torn in-between tribes which were only in existence because of locations where people live, torn by loyalties which are only time deep, in another election cycle these loyalties will be dispersed and move on but the people will remain. The people will remain.
Now we can sit still and accept that there wont be probity however that will be a lie, the truth is the present people in power wont be able to sleep at night no matter how much they think they have made it will it make them?
Those who flaunt the gains of their booty in the faces of the masses will probably never realize how much suffering they cause the poor with their theft however there are things they should consider, what they're doing now is only part of a cycle that shall continue over time. Those who stole before exist in our midst, in other nations people who acquire wealth come back to invest in society in Nigeria its moved abroad.


Long ago Bob said “In this bright future you can't forget your past.” Im hoping for the sake of those in power they who didnt have shoes remember those days and do well by those of us who come after them.
To those of us who did move with the struggle I encourage you to embrace another famous saying from the man “Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds” right now in this nation in our state, we need this as a desert needs a oasis.


For this, to heal our minds and occupy our time in this crisis, I give you one of Bob Marley's greatest live performances and his greatest track (Bar "Johnny Was...me thinks :))...Zimbabwe!
