WHEN learning FAILS THE LEARNERS.

Poem – November 2025

What else can I say?

Our education system is one of the strongest—
One that could build paradise on earth,
One that could employ millions in a single day,
One that could turn war into peace.
But one thing remains a nightmare—
The Mismanagement of the System.


What else can I say?
Pupils learn in unprofessional spaces.
The classroom is but the shade of a tree
That keeps shifting from west to east.
When storms come, lessons end abruptly;
When the sky rains, the school shuts down for the day.
One thing remains a nightmare—
The Mismanagement of the System.

What else can I say?
Low-salaried professionals are abandoned.
While the unqualified steer the wheel through the dark.
They endure to deliver, yet ahead lies a deep pit.
What a tragedy! What a loss of life and purpose!
One thing remains a nightmare—
The Mismanagement of the System.

What else can I say?
Despite all commitments,
Pens still dribble freely in the open.
The test of the oblongata bolded in the circle of media—
The study chords meant only to pass.
The power of knowledge and skill neglected from the start.
One thing remains a nightmare—
The Mismanagement of the System.

What else can I say?
Unless the system is strengthened,
The power of knowledge will remain impaled.
Only when control is rightly redirected,
And the true foundation approached with wisdom,
Will education rise beyond paper and promise?
Until then, one thing remains a nightmare—
The Mismanagement of the System.

What else can I say?
A clear bell is rung—its sound too loud.
A survivor to testify:
We are being driven by the weak.
Endangered by the injured head.
One thing remains a nightmare—
The Mismanagement of the System.

Pay our teachers well.
Pay them on time.
Motivate them now—
To manage the system.

Supervise all schools.
Redraw the scheme of examinations.
End the culture of studying only to pass.
Open the ground for a “Study to Know” era.
Make entry exams a must for all basic service institutions.
Protect the nation.

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
