Dear South Sudanese,

By Tearz Ayuen

If you have teenagers in Kenya, Nairobi in particular, watch them closely, for LGBTQ+ is the latest culture and it's taking over the country like a wildfire among the youth.

Scientists argue that being sexually or romantically attracted to one's gender is inborn. That means some are born like that. But it can be learnt or acquired too.

When I was growing up, wearing timberland boots, baggy jeans, baseball caps, and tracksuits was the coolest thing. We were cool kids. We were 'Yo-yos'.

Today, being a cool kid is associated with LGBTQ+. In my view, poverty has made some adapt by venturing into the "amok nyin" world.

And it's a lucrative business. If you think I am lying, show me a poor homo in Nairobi. Junubin who go clubbing can attest to that.

With the emergence of social media, such individuals are now role models. What do youth do with models? They adore them. Worship them. They do what they do.

And boom! A passive recruitment is taking place, arguably mainly at schools. I repeat: your heterosexual children are likely being recruited into LGBTQ+ culture. Watch your kids.

I thought I should tell you. Have a great weekend!

The fight that separated the Anuak and Shilluk 🇸🇸

Nyikang Okwa the spiritual leader and founder of Shilluk Kingdom and his younger brother Gilo Okwa the founder of Anuak Kingdom where who were living peacefully after their migration until when they reached Bahr El Gazhal.

In the course Giloaccused his elder brother’s that his daughter swallowed the bead and demanded the stomach of the girl to be opened so that he could retrieve his bead. This was done and they found the bead.

Both settled the case by making an oath and decided to go separate ways retrating that they could not live in peace anymore, and each went separate ways. Nyikang went on to conquer large habitat in Upper Nile State, conquered Malakal from the Funj Sultanate after long wars and Established the Shilluk Kingdom.

Gilo Okwa went on to conquer large land in Upper Nile region around Akoba in Jonglei State extending up to Gambella.

Today, Shilluk live in Both banks of the Nile in Upper Nile State in the vicinity of Malakal with about 1.1 million population and Anuak lives in the other side of the Upper Nile region in Jonglei State upto Gambella About 400,000 population

Their huge similarities between the Shilluk and the Anuak language but due to interaction with many different communities slight changes happened in the language.

11 Leadership Lessons from" The Leader in you"-Dale Carnegie

1. Talk less, listen more.
People will pay attention to what you say, just because of your position. The leader’s job is to pay attention to what other people say, especially those who think their views don’t count. Show you’re listening by acting on what people tell you, and gain their trust by giving them the credit.

2. Don’t step in with solutions too quickly.
No-one learns anything new if you keep doing what you already know how to do, and don’t allow others to try. Anyway, they may find a different, or better way, and if not… mistakes are valuable too.

3. Be authentic.
Be authentic, passionate, even emotional, about what you believe in. Share your vision and live your values. The personal is more engaging, even inspiring, than the process.

4. Don’t ‘dis’ downwards.
Once a decision is made by the Board, or the leadership team, it’s yours even if you argued against it during discussions. Your job as leader is to get others to believe in, and work towards, a shared goal, not to divide opinion or loyalties.

5. I’m OK: You’re OK.
Start from the position that everyone is doing the best they can, then look for ways to support and encourage them – which is so much more rewarding than finding fault.

6. Don’t be the smartest person in the room.
Being a leader does not mean knowing more than anyone else. Recognise, encourage and promote others as experts. Give them the trust and autonomy to be creative and do excellent work, defined in their terms. You simply provide the direction, so that this excellent work contributes to a shared purpose.

7. Sense of purpose.
Your team know what they do and how to do it, but you can make a big difference by sharing a strong sense of why they’re doing it and where it’s heading. Help them develop a broad understanding of the team’s purpose, and faith in how their role contributes to the whole. (Remember the floor-sweeper at NASA?)

8. Being right isn’t enough.
A great idea is of no consequence unless you can convince others to believe it too, and then persuade them to help you make your idea a reality. The best way to do this is to make the idea theirs.

9. Focus on a few things.
Focusing on the things that really matter and where you can make a difference. There may be a hundred different distractions and demands on your time and a hundred ways you could respond, but it’s the dozen carefully chosen actions that deliver the results.

10. Get out and about.
Get out and about and in the work. It’s hard to retain that sense of what the job’s really about when you are sitting.
