When Nepotism Is Preferred to Merit

On one hand it's unbelievable. On the other understandable but unbearable to the positive-minded.
It's like (a family) losing a child to a drunk driver: understandable in that drunkenness controlled him, unbearable because he wasn't supposed to drink anyway.
It's like favoring beauty over character in a relationship:understandable in that the victim is controlled by mind, unbearable because when he gets to positivity (at one time), the victim will live in regrets, experience stress (that may be hard to overturn) and face depression, which may even create negative impact on neighbors and friends and the two responsible parties themselves.
Now this is the situation third world countries are facing most. In addition to corruption, Sectarianism, Parochialism, favoritism, conflicts (internal and sometimes external), resulting into poverty, famine, unemployment we (in the third world) are yet to face many more problems unless visionary minds are born or developed within. Otherwise, we shall be the future (if not even present) victims.
We need total freedom. We need peace. We need to have our rights to the full. We need happiness. We need Unity!
That will be achieved by eliminating the greedy, the corrupt and the selfish.
Africa Unite! Third world check out!
The outside world, please carry on with us in the fight.

So very beautifully said, Sadi! It is such a difficult line to walk—-to have “progress” but at the same time not loose tradition and culture. I truly hope your voice can be heard above the din of discontentment and strife; may you have the energy to continue your work and be a light there in your beloved, and beautiful, land.
I’m grateful for this posting and I so hear you Saidi
My hope is for light to shine on the old paradigms and the current ‘ideologies’ which are governing all social and political orders as well as our private lives. My hope is that ~ they will be discarded as more and more ‘aware’ politicians recognize that they no longer serve humanity. I hear your urgent task to achieve liberation, individually as well as in national and international politics.
All can truly be free and just BE once we stop fearing LOVE and remove our defensive emotional clutter!
In peace & love
