Eto, do you people also believe in the conspiracy that aliens captured the Malaysian Flight MH370? So, some funny-looking creatures from out of space are sent by who-knows what to chaf an aeroplane flying at the speed of lightning but there is no trace of the flight debris or human remains anywhere on land or on the shores of the ocean. Really now? I also believe in Liewe Heksie, Spiderman and Santa Claus.
Scientists have for long flirted with the apparent existence of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and life on other planets and I understand it is only human nature to be curious and try to explain the bizarre in the absence of supporting evidence. But for the life of me, I cannot understand how the ‘sophisticated’ so-called first world has no itty-bitty clue how the Malaysian aeroplane disappeared from mother earth like kaboom, kapoof, gone!
Someone has to explain how Flight MH370 disappeared because one of the laws of physics tells us that, “energy is neither created, nor destroyed”.
I thought the advanced world was monitoring everything and everyone with their advanced technological devices, but hanakam it was just brekgat engineers sitting in closed-up cubicles claiming they have invented satellite systems that can trace anything on earth – even through the thickest of walls.
I have always wished I could have one of those engineers as chommies and imagined all the evidence they could provide – even funny ones, but I bet they can’t tell who has released unwelcome wind in a small room when everyone denies being responsible.
All this talk about ‘Big Brother is Watching You’ was just mumbo-jumbo.
They should stop calling Africans naïve for believing in the powers of their forefathers and mothers when they themselves have faith in the existence of aliens.
No offence intended to the families of victims of Flight MH370 who are still searching for their loved ones and for whom it’s very difficult to accept that they may never meet again. But even with our archaic ways of doing things in oresevate and omavuu, you know that there is no way someone or something will just vanish like that without a trace.
There must be an explanation that the goats, sheep, cows, donkeys or horses were stolen and may have been sold for kapana. Or if you hear someone’s kapunda making funny noises while you are investigating the disappearance of your animals, then you should know that the person was involved in some late night secret meat fiesta.
While at it, let me pay my respects to those who perished in the 9/11 attacks in the United States. As someone who used to live in New York at the time of this tragedy, I have very solemn memories of this dark chapter, especially remembering how civilians walked around with photos of their missing loved ones, hoping someone may have spotted them somewhere.
This day cannot also not go by unnoticed without paying homage to one of Namibia’s bravest sons of the soil, Anton Lubowski, who was gunned down cold-bloodedly in front of his house at the dawn of our independence.
Sorry Ngo!
