MIA'S WORD

THE DARK AGES. I can not believe that there was a time when we called the era of before electricity the dark ages. Those times were not dark. The people of the 21st century are the ones living in the dark ages. Yes, we are. Look at the things going on around us, bestiality, greed of leaders at the expense of civilian lives, mass murder and suicide, wars and clashes fired by leaders for selfish gain. If this is the dark age then i accept to be corrected. We have sang the same song over and over that we need to stand up for ourselves and be independent, well am glad to see that being implemented. Now what we need is resilience,not accepting defeat until we get what  we want. Is it not common knowledge that  'nchi' ni wewe na mimi as the Uwiano advertisement for so clearly puts out.

If you remember, those that were ignorant when the digital era begun, suffered the consequences. We are going into untested waters, we need to work together to make it in this new jungle. Naivety is

We are truly living in the digital era indeed. The past is no longer what it used to be. Rumor has it that a famous influential person has been apprehended for atrocious acts against humanity.
