*As long as Africans throw more fuel on BAD fires that came from a wicked place, then colonialism and industrial slavery will never end. LEARN to not "fuel" foreign overpopulation. Their lack of YOUR metals will not make them richer than you, if you don't deprive yourselves. Keep your resources from destroying the world.*

I think we as Namibian must stand up and reform some laws in order to enable job creation among the Nation. Here the president is talking about the graduates without jobs but the real question is "What`s wrong, what`s going on and are the measures in place to mitigate unemployment in Namibia". Pretty simple, our politicians know exactly where the problem is, they are ignorant and selfish yet they make laws of the country, why can't they amend to accommodate employment opportunities. I personally think that the OLD AGE category are taking up to 70% of the Public Wage Bill, politicians at the age of 70 to 90 years. Why cant we reform this, people must go home and give others chance. We have capable youth and middle age. I use to think why cant we as a country minimize retirement age from 60 to 55 years of age for public servants, at least 60 years for Politicians and at least 70 years for Presidents? If 70% of old age could go home, imagine how many percent of youth and middle age with have jobs. Its is about manipulating the formula to solve for X and that X is unemployment rate. Theoretically, this can work but no one is talking about it. They do not want to go home. I think this topic must be discussed, there is a serious problem.

As a namibian listening to the president talk about these topics, its safe to say we will never have a fair distribution of land, jobs, or any of the country's resources. There is no sense of urgency to lead talks into a direction that is favorable to the country as a whole. Job creation is left in the hands of graduates without conducive environments for businesses to grow. Land reforms only benefit the elite. Health and education sectors are failing. With the recent oil discovery, if there is anything that comes from the talks it will only benefit the elite few, leaving the rest of the contry in poverty. Just like they did with our fishing quotas. Namibia as a whole will not reap anything from this discovery. The resources will be enjoyed buy the oil companies in their countries.

Perhaps one of the biggest challenge is that there is no scrutiny committees to investigate/challenge any decisions made by the Government. The deals that Namibia make with these prospecting companies must conatin the following a) 40/60 majority must go to the tate b)all companies who prospect must train at high level students in all aspects of the business0 inserted as part of contracts. c) Govwernment must invest money into setting up specifice instutions to extract process refine such products inside the State value added. d) work with other Afrika producers under the Afrikan treaty of minerals set up storage facilites for such prooducts in Afrika. e) The government and in particularly are extremely naive in that they knew the constitution was a noose yet they signbed it and today the people are landless, unable to benefit from the wealth of the State, namibia should be set up like Libya where students are encouraged under the law to create jobs with their degreees or to go elsewhere in Afrika to learn those skills The leadership thinks they are entitled to profit because they 'fought' for the country, yet fail to acknowledge that the people who are marginalised parents fought and died for the liberation of namibia and too must enjoy the benefits not only the so called 'freedoms; banded about, what freedoms when you live in stinking filthy place in DRC Katatura Luderitz indeed in all the `4 regions of namibia0 is simple a cop out argument used to seek to silence the youths who are unemploed even with their qualifications there is so much wrong, taKE ANOTHER SIMPLE EXAMPLE nAMIBIA PUTS IN PLACE TIGHT REGULATIONS ON POOR PEOPLE TAX THEM HARSHLY AND PUT IN PLACE RED TAPE FOR THEM SETTING UP BUSINESSES REGISTERING BUSINESS THE COSTS INVOLVED IS RIDCULOUS, There must be a change in thinking and actions in Namibia it cannot be the same business as usual, where whites hav ethe lands the chinese who are scavengers and the asians who are really wolfs in sheep clothing.. The govern can easily go on a global recruitment process in the Americas or Eurios for the finest Afrikans in all industries to come to namibia and teach, not only that for namibia and Afrika to be fully weaned off colonalism/neocolonialism their must be a from priimary school to university leavl Afrikan global history taught to students, so that public become aware that Afrika/Afrikans made and contine to make massive contributions to world civilisations , the text books cannot be written by whites nor psuedo blacks like Henry Louis Gates Jr who are trained to be guard dogs to maintain colonialism.

The Namibian President, perspective on burning issues that the Namibian people are struggling with day-to-day seems to be a mismatched. It is so unfortunate that the man we untrusted with with our lives in the country doesn't identify with our struggle as citizens. The answers provided by our President are vague and highly calculated with no substance to reveal the realities on the ground. I wonder how missed to talk about the growing unequal distribution of resources which has resulted in the deepening gap between the poor and the rich in a such small population with a high GDP per capital.

Let’s be logical about that at least. Also has the president never heard of jurisdiction to just say the oil discovered is the responsibility of the explorers? What a mess of a country.

Corruption is a mindset! Hearing His Excellency say the oil is not theirs and they have to discuss with the finders how it would benefit the nation is just the saddest thing to hear. Africans and Africa will always be exploited with this kind of mentality. The reason why the slave trade thrived was that Africans were ready to sell their brothers for profit. This is what we still practice today and is the reason why most (if not all) African countries are underdeveloped.

If he is afraid of getting the land back, eradicating poverty, making the resources work for the people, at least he should take this oil discovery as an opportunity to liberate his people, but I'm afraid that's not going to happen. Hope the people vote for a man who has a vision for their land, one puts them first and is not intimidated or would even considers the oppressors on the land who enjoy the benefits and don't mind keeping the indigenous people in perpetual poverty and in a state of need.

It is unfortunate that this is the kind of leadership in Namibia and many other African countries that we have from this group of leaders of the national liberation movements. The President of Namibia is saying that the oil belongs not to the Namibian people "yet," but to the people who discovered it. The interviewer is asking good questions, but Geingob is giving irrelevant and hopeless answers to questions. Being born on a white man's farm is not a unique answer to the questions about the land that he is being asked about on this issue. Is Geingob one of the few Namibians born on a farm that was owned by a white man? This is so sad.

Perhaps one of the biggest challenge is that there is no scrutiny committees to investigate/challenge any decisions made by the Government. The deals that Namibia make with these prospecting companies must conatin the following a) 40/60 majority must go to the tate b)all companies who prospect must train at high level students in all aspects of the business0 inserted as part of contracts. c) Govwernment must invest money into setting up specifice instutions to extract process refine such products inside the State value added. d) work with other Afrika producers under the Afrikan treaty of minerals set up storage facilites for such prooducts in Afrika. e) The government and in particularly are extremely naive in that they knew the constitution was a noose yet they signbed it and today the people are landless, unable to benefit from the wealth of the State, namibia should be set up like Libya where students are encouraged under the law to create jobs with their degreees or to go elsewhere in Afrika to learn those skills The leadership thinks they are entitled to profit because they 'fought' for the country, yet fail to acknowledge that the people who are marginalised parents fought and died for the liberation of namibia and too must enjoy the benefits not only the so called 'freedoms; banded about, what freedoms when you live in stinking filthy place in DRC Katatura Luderitz indeed in all the `4 regions of namibia0 is simple a cop out argument used to seek to silence the youths who are unemploed even with their qualifications there is so much wrong, taKE ANOTHER SIMPLE EXAMPLE nAMIBIA PUTS IN PLACE TIGHT REGULATIONS ON POOR PEOPLE TAX THEM HARSHLY AND PUT IN PLACE RED TAPE FOR THEM SETTING UP BUSINESSES REGISTERING BUSINESS THE COSTS INVOLVED IS RIDCULOUS, There must be a change in thinking and actions in Namibia it cannot be the same business as usual, where whites hav ethe lands the chinese who are scavengers and the asians who are really wolfs in sheep clothing.. The govern can easily go on a global recruitment process in the Americas or Eurios for the finest Afrikans in all industries to come to namibia and teach, not only that for namibia and Afrika to be fully weaned off colonalism/neocolonialism their must be a from priimary school to university leavl Afrikan global history taught to students, so that public become aware that Afrika/Afrikans made and contine to make massive contributions to world civilisations , the text books cannot be written by whites nor psuedo blacks like Henry Louis Gates Jr who are trained to be guard dogs to maintain colonialism. Afrika neeed Afrikan-centered teachers such as Dr Umar Johnson, Prof Kimani Nehusi Prof Cecil Gutzmore Prof Kaba Hiwatata Prof Olivette Otele, Prof Michelle A. Williams andmany many more covering all fields. Afrika needs to have one currency, one president one military, this doe snot mean abandon their rich cultural heritages far from it.. embrace them as individuals and as a continent.

Condolences to all Namibians, i have just listened to this after hearing sad news that the president has died. Unfortunately i can see he was dodging questions here. Land is not an issue like seriously, what about empowering local people? Here in Zimbabwe we're not facing challenges because we grabbed the land from whites but mainly because of the sanctions imposed after we grabbed our land. The aim of sanctions was to prove to all Africans that grabbing land from white minority is not a good decision by making us suffer. I tell you, if our country mantained the level or the pace at which the economy was growing after sanctions, most of the African leaders would copy the strategy of grabbing land and the whites wouldn't be pleased with that.

With all due respect Mr. President, as a descent of Africans who were sold by rich elite probably royal Africans into slavery to the European & yes, we are treated badly in the USA, we are merely 12 percent of the population. Your people are 99 percent of the population but yet you treat your people like the Africans who sold my foreparents into slavery. We are descendants of Africa. For many of us, Africa is our mother country, like Israel is to the Jews. You are preventing your people, by refusing to change your constitution and excuse about learning how to farm to keep yourself wealth as the expense of your people and Africans in the disopera. It was the deepest desire of my forepatents to return home & their greatest heart break, that I still feel, was to be sold by people like you. I pray that your citizens will change its constitution and vote to rid themselves of the likes of you. With all due respect. The devil comes in all colors. Black as well as White!
