AND HERE we are again. Ready to roll. Mostly. Embracing a new year. Mostly. With advice aplenty. Annoyances. Always. And a jab or two of wit to boost the day…
@kadileleD: Mboma won the (BBC) award and dedicated it to all Namibians, so I won something this year. Damn, what a start to 2022
@NatukundaConst1: List of things I want in 2022: To remain healthy, more money, new number plate, piece of land, mr right, phone
@GreezyThaDon2: We’re falling in love, 2022
@Japhet_____: I welcome you, 2022. You found me eating cabbage soup. Want some?
@IvynSambo: You can’t be a grown person in 2022 texting with unnecessary abbreviations. What the hell is “wud” and “lmk”… It is unnecessary and annoying!
@futureblackcio: Can we collectively agree that “Happy New Year” wishes must stop on the 15th of January?
@EmmanuelEnkara: Now that your drinking friends are back to work, what are you going to do?
@leevi_jovem: Big boys are gone, now they’re starting with stokvel groups.
Seriously Speaking
@ScaredNinja: As a parent of a school-going child, what leads to the situation where you are looking for a school in January? (I ask as a non-parent who would have thought these are things one would take care of when school applications open mid-year of the previous year)
@nakablackksheep: So football in Namibia came to a standstill because of 20 selfish people?
@omarvanreenen: Sexualising your daughter, is not “innocent fun”. But again, only six days into 2022 we still have men trying to legitimise predatory behaviour and not be accountable.
#JustSaying
@PonyBolognaCity: I eat meat but like morally I stand with the vegetarians – rooting for you guys
@cnehshuga: Dates shouldn’t be interviews haibo
@Abigail41304684: I still have my omicron decorations up, can you please wait until Easter for the #IHUvariant
@becausebonniie: Once you stop watching soapies you never go back.
Passing Shots
@Tia_Mokoka: I hope my kids are funny because I’m not fake laughing in my own house for 18 years, otherwise boarding school…
@Lindyyay: Combs go out of their way to embarrass a person. Why are there teeth missing now, don’t be dramatic
@nokuhle_kumalo: Almost every day I ask myself where men (my age) get money for lobola. Dawg, I can’t even save for sneakers, let alone 11 cows.
