Dear Alcohol we need to talk,
I thought I'd take a minute to discuss some troubling factors with you.
First and foremost, let me tell you that I am a huge fan of yours. Yes, my
friend you always seem to be there when needed: Hidden inside chocolates
you warm us up when we are stuck in the midst of endless family gathering.
Yet lately, I've been wondering about your intentions.
You see, I want to believe that you have my best interest at heart but I
feel that your influence has led me to unwise consequences, briefed below
for your review:
1. Phone calls: While I agree that communication is important, I question
the fact that any conversation of substance could occur at 3am in the
morning. Why would you make me call my ex boyfriends/girlfriends when I
know for a fact they do not want to hear from me?
2. Eating: Now you know I love a good meal and though cooking is not my
speciality, why do you suggest that I eat grilled steak with chilli sauce,
2 minute noodles, stale chips and drink nescafe with a kit Kat in my
hand is beyond me. I think sometimes you go a bit too far.
3. Clumsiness: Unless you are trying to tell me that I don't have any
balance, is it necessary to make me fall down the stairs and cause those
black and blue marks that I get the next day. Similarly, It should not take
me 45minutes to get the key into the lock of my front door.
Further more these hangovers that you cause need to stop. I'll do my part,
drink water, and take panado & grandpa before I go to sleep but please do
your part and don't let your hangover interfere with my daily activities.
Especially on Mondays.
Alcohol I have enjoyed our relationship for some years now and want to make
sure that we remain on good terms. You have been my much needed companion
when I don't know what to do with the extra money in my pocket. In order to
continue our relationship you must carefully consider my above mentioned
grievances and address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later
than Thursday 5pm (PRE HAPPY HOUR) on your possible solutions and hopefully
we will continue our fruitful partnership.
African Presidents convened in Addis Ababa from 28th January to discuss the continents economic progress. The African Union (AU) has chosen 2017 to be the year of the African youth and dedicated the theme for the summit “Harnessing the Demographic Dividends through Investments in Youth” to young people. Demographic dividend according to the United Nations Population Fund is the economic growth potential that can result from a change in a population’s age structure. This happens when the share of the working-age population (15 to 64) is larger than the non-working-age population (14 and younger, as well as 65 and older). The central importance of the demographic dividend to Africa’s transformative development has been repeatedly acknowledged by African leaders at the highest level and in key ministerial platforms. If Africa is to rise, then she has to invest in the youth of her member countries . Evidence from the last ten years has shown that a demographic dividend lens is a strate...
