My top 2016 resolutions
I am not a fan of resolutions. However, I have resolved not to let any impediment stand in my way anymore.

I have resolved that in 2016…
I won’t fall for any lies from whomever. In an election year, politicians can conjure anything…everything… even another golden stool from the skies!
I would watch football with my head… but not with my heart. Footballers give hypertension quicker than bad cholesterol!
I won’t take the politician’s promise too seriously. I have lost count of how many times they have broken my heart.
They treat politics as though it was one hell of a ‘lying competition!’
Anytime my lights go out, I won’t budge. I will just take my voter’s ID card, smile and sing, “There’s power in the name of a voter’s ID card!”
I won’t be misled by the fairness of an African woman until I have seen her childhood pictures.
Bleaching creams have done African men more harm than partisan politics!
I won’t be bothered by the headaches of this nation. No matter how big they may ever become, no one actually gives a hoot about solving them.
We will needlessly look at them through a political lens or blame it on the devil!
I won’t try to painstakingly decode and understand shorthand messages on social media or wherever.
If you’re too busy to write in clear, plain language… obviously I’m too busy to read, too! After all, what do you use the rest of your time for?
I won’t believe that democracy is government of the people, by the people and for the people anymore. Which democratic government would increase prices exponentially and tax everything to its own detriment?
The government (of which we supposedly are a part of) would even tax the air we breathe if it had its way! Democracy, today, is government against the majority; government for a selected minority.
I will read more. I promise to be an avid reader. This is my year of reading!
Finally, I promise not to make any resolutions.
Did I just say the above were resolutions!? Chai
