[3/18, 8:02 AM] Ackson Potera: Zimbabwe, a country of highly educated ppl who can’t manage their economy. 🙆‍♂️

A Potera
[3/18, 8:04 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: Is there a Father tongue? Then we can we can talk about the meaning of what you want to talk about…
[3/18, 8:05 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: Does that make education bad?
[3/18, 8:05 AM] mdmawere1: Morning.

What is a country?

Does education equal to stacrat excellence?
[3/18, 8:05 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: Or that the educated folks aren’t anywhere near positions of power and dumb ones have the reigns…m
[3/18, 8:06 AM] Ackson Potera: Who said education is bad?
[3/18, 8:06 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: The question was and still is, does what you stated make education bad.
Noone has said that education is in fact, bad.
[3/18, 8:07 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: ? Nga.
[3/18, 8:07 AM] Ackson Potera: Failing to correct that error as is tantamount to lack of skills to deal with problems
[3/18, 8:07 AM] TENDAYI: Almost 3/4 of the world have economic challenges primarily due to enactment of legislative frameworks that promote prosperity😱. Command wealth🫣😆
[3/18, 8:07 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: No.
[3/18, 8:07 AM] Ackson Potera: Failure too
[3/18, 8:09 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: Country is a state, a nation or a political entity or part of one. A sovereign state.
Second part. I don’t know what stacrat is.
[3/18, 8:10 AM] Ackson Potera: Education has nothing to do with intelligence and excellence comprehending Zim as a case study
[3/18, 8:14 AM] TENDAYI: Intelligence is abundant in zimbabwe and Africa. It’s the lack of norms and standards , do you know what these are?
[3/18, 8:15 AM] Ackson Potera: Instead of debating on the reasons why we are socially and economically failing as a nation, we are now diverting this issue to be an academic debate which is irrelevant and also proving our incompetence
[3/18, 8:15 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: What can bring forth those lacks if not for education?
[3/18, 8:16 AM] TENDAYI: Are you familiar with norms and standards?
[3/18, 8:16 AM] TENDAYI: Never try control other people’s thinking . Just do your part
[3/18, 8:17 AM] TENDAYI: Influence it but don’t control it
[3/18, 8:17 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: I can challenge you to a fistfight if that would help your cause. We can fight in front of your people, I don’t care. Choose time and venue.
[3/18, 8:17 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: I can challenge you to a fistfight if that would help your cause. We can fight in front of your people, I don’t care. Choose time and venue.
[3/18, 8:17 AM] Cornwell Mutetwa: This is very important . Once the is an agreement on this Zimbabwe can move forward.
[3/18, 8:19 AM] Ackson Potera: If had anything to with intelligence, would we be in this shame state in a country floating +80% educated citizens but also on the top of the list of the poorest in the region
[3/18, 8:19 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: Regulations and directives help create those. Yes
[3/18, 8:21 AM] mdmawere1: Are you now sitting as a judge in this WhatsApp setting?
[3/18, 8:22 AM] TENDAYI: Nice try but no
[3/18, 8:22 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: There’s an element of absolutism in our governments that nomatter how educated you are, no matter how smart you can be, the absolutists will keep you pinned to the godamn especially if you try to overcome the status quo. They have guns, you have education. In real life, guns win.
[3/18, 8:24 AM] +27 66 035 5020: Calm down. You were asked a definition. Don’t ramble
[3/18, 8:26 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: Looky here, we have people like Mthuli Ncube, Simba Makoni (DR) Nkosana Moyo who worked for the govt but theirs were ideas that could not take off because the powers that be would not allow anything to jeopardize their grasp on power and their education came to mean fuckall and off they went elsewhere with their brilliant ideas. That’s how education means nothing at all in Zimbabwe.
[3/18, 8:26 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: I refuse to answer that question any further than I have already.
[3/18, 8:29 AM] TENDAYI: Refusal is best achieved by silence, were you aware 😆
[3/18, 8:32 AM] Woke (Up In The) AF!: Oh yeah? In what culture? If you refuse to answer a question in courts you don’t go mute, you state, “I plead the fifth”. You use words.
[3/18, 8:33 AM] TENDAYI: Have you ever encountered concept of “franchise” as relates qualifying for certain privileges?
