NOW MOST OF YOU READING THIS BLOG MAY COME UP WITH RANDOM CONCLUSIONS BASED ON MY ARTICLES, e.g, "HE ISN'T PATRIOTIC AT ALL!!!" or "WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS? GOD? ", I'M ONLY SPEAKING MY MIND REGRDLESS.
RWANDESE ARE MOST OF THE TIME DISAPPOINTED IN THEMSELVES, ASK WHY !, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A TAXI (TWEGERANE) AND AS IT COMES TO A ZEBRA CROSSING, THERES A LADY WHO HAPPENS TO BE CROSSING AT HER OWN PACE (REALLY SLOW), WITH NO DELAY YOU BEGIN TO HEAR RANTS FROM OTHER PASSENGERS "ARIKO ABANYARWANDA!!!" TRANSLATING " BUT RWANDESE", IN A DISGUSTED TONE. IT IS COMMON IF YOU LIVE IN KIGALI.
THAT IS A RESULT OF OUR OPTIMISM, WE WANT EVERYTHING IN LIFE TO PLAY OUT AS WE LIKE, SO WE SET HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR THE OUTCOMES. ONCE THINGS GO SLIGHTLY A DIFFERENT WAY, WE BEGIN TO CURSE, CURSING NOT ANYTHING ELSE BUT OUR OWN KIND (RWANDESE).
I WONDER WHAT OUR AIR WILL BE FILLED WITH ONCE THIS VISION 2020 DOESN'T PLAY OUT AS EXPECTED. I WAS ONCE TALKING TO A STREET CHAP, ASKING HIM ABOUT HIS PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AND ALL, THE YOUNG LADS COMMENTS BROUGHT ME TO REALISE JUST HOW EVEN THE GOVERNMENT IS HAVING A FOREPLAY IN CULTIVATING OUR HOPELESS OPTIMISM, THE YOUNG MAN TOLD ME, "TWESE TUZAKIRA MURI VENTI VENTI, SI KAGAME WABYIVUGIYE SE?". I BURST OUT WITH LAUGHTER BUT WITH A BIG QUESTION INSIDE, "WHO WILL EXPLAIN TO THIS GUY REALLY?".
I KNOW ITS A CASE OF MISUNDERSTANDING AND ILLETERACY IN SOME CASES BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE THAT THINK SIMILARLY YET THEY ARE EDUCATED?
MY ARGUMENT IS, IT IS LOGICALLY WRONG TO PREDICT FUTURE EVENTS, EVEN WITH HIGHER LEVELS OF CERTAINTY. SO IT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE FOR ANYONE TO PUBLICIZE THE 2020 MASTERPLAN. YOU MAY ARGUE ON THE OTHER HAND THAT, IT MOTIVATED ENTRPRENEURS AND RWANDESE CITIZENS, NO DOUBT IT DID, BUT THERES A BETTER WAY, LET THE CITIZENS MOTIVATE THEMSELVES!!, HOW?, SAY I WAS AMONG THE COMMITTEE THAT WAS CHARGED WITH DRAWING AND PUBLICIZING VISION 2020, MY STRATEGY WOULD BE, LET THE CITIZEN KNOW THE BENEFITS OF AN ACTION IF IT IS DONE, THAT WAY DEPENDING ON THE BENEFIT, HE WILL STRIVE TO ARCHIVE IT. THE WAY IT WAS PUT FORWARD INSTEAD WAS, THEY TOLD US (RWANDESE) THAT THE COUNTRY WILL BE VERY SUCCESSFUL, SELF SUSTAINING, WILL HAVE VERY GOOD CITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE, BASICALLY THEY GAVE US A DREAM, NOT A MISSION OR A TARGET, THEY GAVE US A PROMISE, SO LET'S JUST SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR THEM TO FULFILL THE PROMISE.
A GOOD EXAMPLE, LOOK AT THIS ARTICLE THAT WAS PUBLISHED A WHILE BACK
NOW TELL ME I DONT HAVE A LITTLE SENSE.
IM NOT BEING SACARSTIC, OR ARGUMENTATIVE, IM JUST GIVING MY CRITICAL OPINION. WHAT'S YOURS?
