WHAT is this that we hear about this other chap we used to respect so much given his role in managing the developmental affairs in communities at district level who has suddenly turned into a disgrace to humanity?
We all know him very well from the days he used to work in a nearby district that shares a boundary with our beloved city up until he was moved elsewhere.
His surname has something to do with tomfoolery or stupidity.
Indeed, the past week has shown us that, at times, there is everything in a name.
As we were mourning our departed colleague, a fellow development practitioner who breathed her last unexpectedly, this bare faced chap was busy celebrating her death as if he will live on earth until the second coming of Christ.
Yes, you got me right, he was celebrating her death!
According to his WhatsApp status updates, this was a “September to remember”, not because of something painful or sad, but because this woman died.
He actually went on to inscribe that “mucheri wegomba ndiye anowiramo”, literally meaning that the deceased colleague had wronged him in the past and she had now paid back with her life.
God forbid!
Yours Truly had no idea that there are people who have the audacity to celebrate death, even the death of those they do not like.
Given the way she passed on, collapsing and breathing her last after complaining of a headache — all in a few minutes — Blabber is bound to assume that this chap could have used the underworld of wizardry to “deal” with our departed beloved sister and development practitioner.
After all, we are Africans and we cannot run away from that fact!
Nonetheless, who are we to judge. Even in our grieving moments, we know the Lord is in control.
Away from issues involving this uncultured development official, Blabber is informed that there is a watering hole in the central business district that no longer wants blacks as its members.
Its name has something to do with a Biblical individual who was possessed with demons.
All along we never thought the demon of racism would haunt this joint to the extremes we are now witnessing.
Blabber has always observed some racial conduct by some members of staff, especially the one who plays managerial roles, but for some reason Yours Truly thought they would change at some point.
Funny enough, this guy who plays managerial roles at this watering hole is not only black, but coal black, yet he finds pleasure in being used to segregate against his own brothers and sisters.
Such conduct has no place in an independent country like ours and Yours Truly will not be silent about this until things get right.
For once, Blabber will not be peeping through the keyholes of your bedroom doors, but instead Yours Truly will focus his long lenses on events at this watering hole.
Till then, remember to take good care of your loved ones.
