Calm down with speculations; they won’t help the situation

April 11, 2016 (SSB)  —-  South Sudanese as I used to know them were good example of human beings who discourages, condemn and even compose songs to churn or curb away bad behaviors which become habits. These includes stealing, gluttony, lying, robbery, prostitution, and many other anti-social behaviors. This was then in the earlier periods of civilizations or even before civilization or call it Stone Age as some reference put it.

Nevertheless, even in early establishment duration of the then Sudan, Sudanese in general were better, may be because media was not active as it perhaps is now a days.

However, recently just after getting into Juba after signing of Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) by the let Icon and hero Dr. John Garang de Mabior, South Sudanese have surpassed all even the earlier nations which existed. Yes! They went ahead in nothing but just spreading lies and speculation which up to now have not help any situation nor have they change anything at post-independence era.

In fact, after South Sudan got independence every citizen with high school certificates and many more with their duplicate documents even from unrecognized institutions started to forge news and claimed to be journalists; spread wrong interpretation of elite’s statements and claim to be political analysts et cetera.

In spite of the jargon they used to abuse themselves base on their groups of loyalty or political allegiance nothing has changed. They are critics but have no capacity to critique the bosses. They all know everything even in my field of Agriculture would want to put their noses in and mind less of the fact that they are not well inform on even the principles of such specializations. All they would want to say is that “puor e ke de raan e ben” while many would say “Kiir bought 1000 tractors” is the Agriculture. Shame on you amateurs.

Please my dear people, let not be know-all citizens. Let journalists do their work under their ethics but the amateurs must stop they are the one spreading baseless rumors or speculations. Indeed, speculations that up to now have not help us in this crisis now did they bring back peace or brought Dr. Riek Machar back to Juba.

By the way do you know that any time you increase your fake speculations nothing good ever followed it? In real sense when ever your predictions are misfortune wishes it then fall to your wish and no one may benefit other than your fools. i mean your fellow unsound minded kinsmen not even tribe level.

For good coexistence in all our various fields and for South Sudan to finally achieve peace in good paradigm shape then all rumor mongers with their speculations must cease. Let leave news search and preaching to rightful journalists or media houses because these speculations won’t help our situation that we’re in.

Try that and all will be well soon.
