South Sudan: The Geo-politics

In Fifty (50) Days the South Sudan could cast ballots to decide either to be the newest independent state in the world and 54th in Africa or to choose to remain slaves to the Khartoum regime in North Sudan. In the words of Dr. John Garang (RIP), it is absolutely their choice.

You be kidding. While their choice is only salam - peace, there is also the regional, Arab league, Sub Saharan, West, East and a confused global preference of the Sudan. A tension builds. 2010, the Sudan may never be the same again.

The Sudan, bordering Nine (9) countries can not be allowed to remain perceptually unstable for business, for exploitation and as an opportunity. Global by design, local by nature, people are tired of war more so a war in the South and Darfur. Add it that any war right now could mutate triumphing Southerners to seek alternative victory in the North!

And in the midst of all these, watch political developments in Kenya, Uganda, Chad, Darfur, Egypt, Khartoum, Ethiopia and in South Sudan. Let Congo and C.A.R lie! This could be Africa's geo-intertwined-politics of ages.

Probing the Ministry of Schooling

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school." - Albert Einstein. Education is not your schooling. Expressed Mathematically: Education = (You - Schooling)

Let's explore further:

If: Education = (You - Schooling)
Then: You = (Education + Schooling)
Which Means: Schooling = (You - Education)

This it is proven. Schooling has less to do with your Education.

Query: When the examiners probe your Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics and what haven't you they taught but never test your social skills and problem solving skills, the resulting grades, whose are they - Could they have been the Schooling System's? Was it a measure of your Education?

From Sub Saharan Africa, it is therefore so pathetic that the institution of Education is left to the Schooling Ministries. The curriculum of Education remains for ever hidden. Let those who can find, make use of it.

RSA Animate - The Secret Powers of Time

Facebook Banglasheshed

Once in Ugandan primary schools, the phrase "Bangladesh" was an injurious insult and whatever it meant I haven't understood till this day. So here is my wrath: Any entity that blocks access to any website, here is my response: Bangladesh! I hope the Bangladesh sounds like your intestines came crashing.

So Bangladesh, Pakistan and many shall block access to the likes of Face book. It is an opinion here that such backward acts of enemies of expressions have no place in this age. For all reasons, I think the Bangladeshis of this Internet age are in for a shocker! Let the Internet community find a technological solution to Internet censorship.

You could have been smarter, the Internet can be come smarter too. Bangladesh.
