Sarah-Leigh Elago

There was a time that I, Sarah-Leigh Elago better known as Madam Chair thought every battle was my own to fight. I would fight against injustice. Help fight battles that weren't mine to begin with, stand up for people that were voiceless until I learnt that the creature called human being is the worst creature that existed. Human beings will turn you into a witch if you don't know how to guard your heart with all diligence.  This creature is not loyal. This mammal if not careful can consume you and leave you bitter. This creature called human being taught me to harden my heart. It taught me to grow a pair and whilst I'm at it, thicken my skin like that of a crocodile and sharpen my brain capacity like that of an elephant. Now more then ever, I'm super emotionally and politically intelligent.  The human creature if not careful will devour you. Over 15 years experience in leadership and politics taught me to be meticulous in battle. I've learned to pick my ba...

Listen,  We ALL have something in which we EXCELL. Right? That one thing ONLY YOU CAN DO...  Now, I picked up something VERY interesting at a particular meeting.  People actually STUDY each other. I noticed that sometimes, when people realise you are a danger to their game, they study you meticulously. They befriend you and become extremely close to you.

Which will eventually lead to YOU quitting. The other key is turning people against you. That one is a bit cl...

Dearest Dada, I hope you are doing far better with the ancestors. Sometimes, I imagine you, having a serious roundtable discussion with Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Frantz Fanon, Steve Biko, OR Tambo, Natanael Maxuilili, last but not least... the legendary Samora Machel. At age 33, you siezed power in 1983 with the goal of eliminating corruption and the dominance of the former French colonial power. Your foreign policies were centered on anti-colonialism, with your government eschewing all foreign aid, pushing for odious debt reduction, nationalizing all land and mineral wealth and averting the power and influence of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. Moreover, your COMMITMENT to women's rights led you to outlaw female genital mutilation, forced marriages and polygamy, while appointing women to higher governmantal positions and encouraging them to work outside their homes and MOST importantly, allowing young ladies to STAY in school even if pregnant.  ...
