The M. M. Opinion Journal

Ponderings of the Man from Mpofana is getting cluttered, so I'll be blogging on The M. M. Opinion Journal  blog in future.

What happens when Western concepts of liberty reach African shores?

You know, when Africans listen to Tupac, Eminem & see Dennis Rodman... they think that these people are beyond any social restrictions. Singing "F*** the police" or about raping animals & getting tattoos & piercings all over your body is certain to get you arrested or an exorcism in most parts of Africa. But it happens that to impressionable, young people on the African continent - the concept of unchecked freedom resonates with them. There are countless musicians in Africa who emulate this American-centric style of "doing as you please" & giving the illusion of having a lot of money. This concept of freedom, however, did not not spring out of a vacuum in America. It has it's roots in Europe. Now, there was a time when America's father (Europe) did not have concepts of individual liberties & ideas of the people or nation being a force. So when people like the (original) Illuminati & Napoleon spread such enlightenment ideas, the monarc...

What can Africa standardise across the continent?

Since, by now, we all know how terrible a " United States of Africa " & single African currency could be, what can we make uniform & standardise across the continent?  • Rail & road : Maybe we could create a uniform set of road rules & railroad guages. Sure, some countries drive on the right but the same rules could apply just on different sides of the road. In South Africa, we have a K53 defensive driving rule set which I think is pretty advanced & wouldn't mind other good driving laws across the continent to be merged with it & maybe create a single driver's license & driver's license test made for all African drivers. • Mail : I've already vlogged on this on YouTube so I'll just put the link to the video .  • Automotive industry : I can imagine Itouha of Burkina Faso, Innoson of Nigeria, Kiira of Uganda, Roam of Kenya & Kantanka of Ghana all uniting to make affordable electric motorcycles, cars, buses, trucks & even ...

The Uncle Ruckus problem...

You know, in South Africa we have a lot of black sellouts & this generally happens in multiracial countries. Whether a black person generally hates his own race, hates himself, appreciates white women/men more, assimilated favourably into white society - we have hoardes of black people that are willing to do white people's bidding in some mutually beneficial agreement. The thing is, they will NEVER BE white unless they mate with white people for some generations. These Uncle Ruckuses (& Aunt Jumimas) are all over black society worldwide. So what can we do about this problem? Frankly, nothing my fellow black people. As long as there is disenfranchisement & troubles related to poverty in black societies, there will always be sellouts. The thing is, you can't bid for what doesn't favour you & while it's rare & strange that there are black people bidding for white supremacy, white supremacy genuinely benefits certain groups of black people even if it doe...

Temu is on a mission...

If you use the internet, you will likely see no fewer than four Temu adverts a day. It really gets annoying. But their silent non-video catalogue adverts are so good & well put-together. Look at this:  Futsal boots.  Airless basketball.  If these are counterfeit, they're some of the best counterfeit products I've ever seen.
