WHY THINGS WILL NEVER BE BETTER



Things will never be better not because I says so, come to think of it who am I to say so. We all know so even though we lie to ourselves by thinking otherwise, though we ignore it but but things get from bad to worst each new day. I thought life could have been good if we were living in a nice cozy cave in a lonley island, there could’ve been little or no envy, no struggles for limitted properties. But those things are here now and we can’t do anything about it.
We suffer in the midst of plenty and we complain even when our pains are self inflicted, we are to be blamed for our own misfortunes. Things will never be better, not as long as we live, because some people have vows to live and die doing evil. I remember we I was a kid, when all my choices are being made for me and then am told that we are the leaders of tomorrow. Now am grown and still I hear that phrase overe and over again. The same people are still leaders with their dyed gray hairs, its no one wants to grow old yet the kids are expected to grow.
Things have gone from bad to worst and I don’t think it will ever be better again, we can’t deny the amount of evil that we are capable of doing, its time we rate the destruction that we brought on this earth by its actual size than just underestimating it. Someone wrote that “there can never be a world order unless we pay with blood and money…” but this situation now can never be solved with money or blood nor money. We should pray for salvation or eternal redeemtion. We should bank on our after live but that’s if there is any.
I remain we 100 naira can buy you much, transportion was a lot easier and cheaper but now I think everything is over priced and the rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer. A musian Rick Ross said “being dead broke, is the root of all evil” and since the greater population is poor now I think there will continue to be more evil.
Things will never be better unless by Gods intervention, I will say his mercies are running out. Should God have been man? I don’t wanna answer that. We should plan for our future and I believe that our generation is ruined but we can create a better place for our future generation because I believe that we deserve better and by that we can do better.

Kenyan Granny Starts School


Previous8 of 8Next
78-year-old Mariana Ong’ango Ololo, a new pupil at Obambo Primary School, is not only the oldest pupil in her class, the grandmother is also the oldest pupil in the school.
Ololo, who hails from Siaya county, reportedly showed up at the school unannounced on 14 May, in a school uniform with a shaved head and accompanied by her 56-year-old son George.
The school principal Joseph Muloand told the Daily Nation, “It is a unique case. We have to lay down a strategy of handling such an elderly pupil.” Ololo has already missed classes on several occasions due to her poor health.
The Nation reports that she is a mother of eight and has been a widow since 2002. She reportedly started school because of an interest in politics and was inspired to do so by the election of Uhuru Kenyatta. She told the Daily Nation, "“Uhuru Kenyatta is not an old man, but took over as fourth President because he has got an education. That is a clear indicator that a person cannot rank highly in society without an education.”
Her story is very similar to that of Guinness World Record holder Kimani Maruge who enrolled in primary school at the age of 84. Maruge had a 2010 movie, called The First Grader, made about his experience.
