DIDA'S MANIFESTO

True, Mohamed Abduba Dida launched his manifesto just the other day. We may not be so much aware of the contents of that crucial document but from the look and judging from the way he enthusiastically argues a point out, it must be something really deep, if not to say philosophical.
I have spend quite some minutes of which I think it is worth trying to figure out what exactly would be some of the  constituents to this.

1.  Looking at the health care issue, Dida put it categorically in the first debate that, he a does have a detailed plan on how to curb spread of some of the obvious ailments.  He did put it clear that his method will be preventive rather than curative. People embracing the idea that they should eat only when they are hungry and no overfeeding, thus leaving space for water and breathing space. I think this is in line with not confusing the metabolism routine.


2. On Education, I think he will have a lot of tertiary institutes in place teaching on practical issues. He sounded kind of disturbed that an electronic professor would spend an entire night in darkness simply because he cannot fix an electric socket; something a class eight drop-out would do with so much ease. Yes, to Dida education is paramount and crucial but only if it is aimed at offering solution even to the simple situations in the society.


3. On Employment and remuneration, to Dida, it doesn’t make sense for a president to be earning huge chunks of money while the majority of the poor citizens still remain poor. He will Endeavour to make sure that, the presidential package is so discouraging that guys won’t harbor greed for the position.

On another note, Dida believes job opportunities can be created even in the Diaspora thus creating more employment opportunities for the many youth who are unemployed. How to implement that, I have no idea, but as he can make us believe, I think it is possible!!!



4. Dida wonders how a young man like Kamlesh Patni can manage to play tricks on smart brains. For him, he seems not to get the logic and for him it is something he can never even think of. So you can imagine the kind of enquiry commissions Dida can put in place If elected the President. I hope that is highlighted in his manifesto.



5.      I am trying to imagine the convoy for Dida if elected president!!! He cites the story of Jesus by saying that; a good leader should lead by example. No way should someone have a parade of guzzlers while his subjects are heavily rained on. A true leader eats when all the subjects have eaten and this he depicts very well from the life of Jesus. So I try to imagine the caravan of Dida’s presidential escort, maybe comical. His own car may rate as the one below

José Mujica, Uruguay's president

6. Lest I forget, I do think under Dida’s regime, a new curriculum may be introduced. One that will ensure that students are at par with the current affairs. A curriculum that will ensure that the findings and conclusions of the enquiries commissions are brought to the public light and passed over even to the latter generations. To me the deal sounds kind of good and a real eye opener.

And the list goes on and on, because I am sure apart from amendment, additions will be very possible since we are living in a so dynamic world.

But again, thank you Dida for you stood out as a true hero. A person of a true character. A character that upholds self esteem no matter the situation.

Dida to me now is a verb, a verb that will inspire my forward move even in adverse situations. When life becomes untenable I will pray to God and then say…Dear Lord, Help your servant to dida on!!!
