Not so long ago, I was a free man, no political constraints. Then I agreed, voluntarily to join Government. Tjoooo! Free but not free!! You have to obey the majority/collective decisions! Sometimes it feels like swallowing a rock!😳.

No matter how angry and upset you might be, burning and destroying your local properties and infrastructure is NOT a solution. It’s like using the oasis as a toilet in the dessert. You will return there thirsty!!.

Although I am conflicted about this, I am convinced that Churches MUST be REGISTERED and REGULATED and pay TAX. We cannot continue like this. Our people’s faith is being exploited by unscrupulous so-called pastors!! Condemn me! Burn me at the stake! Many would agree with me.

After a long thought process, I have decided not to do any original tweets anymore. I might, just might, retweet (not endorsement). I came to the conclusion that Twitter is no longer about its original purpose: ie to create a networked society. It is now an abusive platform.
