Namibians are dripping with talent. And no, not the kwaito or singing kind most of us so relentlessly force ourselves to possess - I'm talking about our talent to educate.

Our need to sometimes, force- fully impart our often limited knowledge or force our way of doing things down the throats of the masses.

Like The Dogg likening Coloured people to "mules" and thinking it's funny, or artist of the year Jericho and the rest of his musician buddies beating up people and getting beaten up.

Perhaps a more grown-up example would be the way our honourable Parliamentarians ver- bally tear each other apart, often over the most mundane of debates in Parliament. Those honourables will spend an hour debating who a 'comrade' is instead of coming up with lasting solutions for the floods in the north or the state of education.

So if a lesson is to be learned from these much respected elders, it would be 'how NOT to behave in public, especially if the cam- eras are pointed at you and that material is going to be broadcast on television.

Valuable lessons on "HOW NOT TO SUCCEED AT ANY- THING" can also be learned from cadres such as Joseph Kauan- denge - he stinks as a musician and rots as a politician.

Here are some candidates you can learn something from as well as far as 'free education' is concerned:

Newest kid on the block George Jakobus Makensie - con- cepts like 'savings' and 'invest- ments' do not exist in this man's vocabulary!

Give him half a million and he'll show you how to turn it into nothing in less than a month, giv- ing new meaning to the saying - "you can take a man out of Block E but you cannot take Block E out of the man". This poor chap from Rehoboth won N$500 000 towards the end of last year in a competition and went wild spend- ing it. He is said to have made his lokasie rain with booze like there was no tomorrow.

Today, less than two months later, he's sitting with nothing and is staying in his old kambashu feeling sorry for himself. It's those ghetto tendencies!

Robert Kiyosaki should develop a new manual called 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad & Makensie - A Guide to accepting financial advice from every Tom, Dick and Dax'.

And so, the next time I say I have a N$100 that needs to be 'Makensied', you should know that I have money to blow!

Kazenambo 'KK' Kazenambo - The modern day kamikaze, this bald headed individual is your walking talking dictionary - Wikipedia zapo manga!

With ancient words like 'buf- foonery' and new phrases like 'koevoet mind' having found their way into our daily conversations, all thanks to KK's Jan Poolman outburst last year, there's no de- nying that you can advance your English vocabulary a great deal by listening to this man.

Charles Siyauya - Comical Charlie is everything that is funny with the youth league and if you aspire to make people laugh, perhaps making this cadre your role model should be a start to building your career.

With his spoilt brat, diva-ish attributes, there's no denying this comrade should be the next big thing on the FreeYourMind circuit.

Just last year, he threw this stinging remark towards Director of Namrights Phil ya Nangoloh: "We all know that ya Nangoloh is having diarrhoea in his head and that has a negative side effect in terms of his mental capacity and reasoning. It will be highly appreciated if ya Nangoloh's medical doctor can re-admit him in the psychiatric hospital for follow-up purposes or to get a second opinion doctor to help him because he thinks he has wings and he can fly."
