Sport As The Tool for Social Mobility

 


We have a problem, you see Africa as a continent most times feel like a slave ship, chained together your strain for better air, affects the neck of the next man, talk more of trying to stand. Envy is rife because we share the same pain and struggle born from the ignorance of an ethos passed down from colonization designed for warrant chiefs and clerks. This school equals work equals good life wrongness that have funnelled us down the drain generationally, wasting people who habe swathed themselves on the iron curtain of capitalism that is further thickened with inflation. 
Not enough businesses, not enough wiggle room and innovations, to do the simplest thing, earn or move up in life it feels as if you have to kill the next guy, We are to focused on the same system, stuck in our ways, go to school, get a job and marry, however this moribund system doesn't work anymore, inflation, stagflation rather have made this model of life the suicidal.

And here is our problem, we are frothing into a tress, a culdesac, blossoming unto dearth, but if man is nerve bones and flesh for a while, Why shouldn't he be made to live off his playfulness. Why couldn't we support and institutionalize his play as his living and spend him saintly.
Why shouldn't sport be his volition and protect his sanity, our girls are not getting married, they are unable to raise children and start families because of the lack of social mobility on the part of the men, too afraid to afford accompaniment, calling it a plunge, a stress and truthful, it's hard being a financial womb when your very life is a hustle.

Our men don't have money, I don't mean the educated privilege who have gone to university with a degree no I'm talking about that very tall handsome man picking plastic, that northern cobbler, that guy with tea kettle selling tea in styrofoam cups as a living, your conductor, market carriers, I look at these handsome men mostly northerners and I always picture them in a basketball jersey and it fits them, out in a court someplace playing point guard or shooting guard instead of this demeaning.
Why? should a human being do that? live like that? when he can just spend that same energy handling a basketball in dignity.
We have a lot of spinsters yet to be married and her husband is on the street picking plastic bottles for recycling. And the demographic is the pitiful as  they are all blossoming at once, ladies from ages 15 to 45 years slated to die without a love. 
Many have taken to social media to celebrate their failure at life, proudly returning back to their father's house partly in jest, mostly bereft, that they couldn't be a love, we have men roaming the street in their millions looking for daily bread, Cursed with the ethos of no work no eat mean they don't get to give thought to a marital life, till they are in their 40s.  
If the tax desiring government were sensible even about their source of income, the human spending, and invest in sports it allows men to be finance confident, to want to spend, to want to start a family, sport is at the epicenter of fertility and fecundation of such country.

It's a big blow threatening a damage to the first institutions of a society the institutions of family, that people openly shrug off the idea of accompaniment due to a contortion as inflation.
In the past I must have challenge the population growth, but I find recently that the problem lie with the ethos, The Ethos was the problem not the man, For he was vegetative, a weal unto nature made from it, a lump of clay and would always ends up as manure for the trees.
His programming was the problem, rather than an indoctrinating him with a pomposity and vanity, teach, if only he knew the minimal frugal and functional, What man couldn't simply pass 70 years on earth?
With a living room of pillows and rugs, drinking tea, eating vegetables, having 2 children, and riding a train to a court where he plays basketball professionally for 20 years. The continent could confidently house and feed 3 billion of such functional. But the problem are the cars the Big houses and false living,x money if channelled into sport would create at least a million sports centers, employing hundreds of millions and more.
We want our ladies to get married, no man is happy to see that his daughter couldn't find love on earth because men are too afraid to commit, Well let us invest in sports, Let's get this men off the streets let them knock a few balls around, let het them spending, let's house them, increase their confidence, this allows them to go after a settling down, a family and some fulfilment of a life. Before you sneer at me and wonder why I might be contradicting myself, I remain firm on my stance thAt love has nothing to do with marriage, We talking about free living, the sheer joy of accompaniment through life which comes naturally without the noose and rigors of tradition.
A man should be able to come home to cooked meal by a partner that is his friend, if he plays basketball, with a health insurance, eats a vegetarian diet, read books, listen to music, and buy a few things he needs, He wouldn't be a bandit, he wouldn't be a kidnapper, he will never be a terrorist. Now if both man and partner were both basketballers, O how wonderful. Super even!

We have the solution to our security challenges in the strict taxation of these big cars, to be invested in sports and create life and a living rather than gorging on wasteful spending.
People aren't interested, the fear of money or indigency drive the solipsistic to the very morbid is it their fault it's a kill or be killed.
If man was just man, a bundle of flesh and bones, susceptible to play, adept at it with time, An understanding and enlightened state government can pay 50 thousand naira monthly 60 billion for 10 years to a 1000 basketballers.
If the 60 thousand workers remitted from the monthly salary off the coffers of the Enugu state government, a sum of 1 thousand naira monthly in every month they would be able to pay the wages of these players.
That translates to 
1000 men off the streets 
1000 women off their father's houses
1000 new children to be born
1000 new homes and families to be built and in time we will be baulked and even taken over by big corporations starting with endorsement and organizational support via adverts.

Sports as an important tool of social mobility cannot be overemphasized. Instead of advising young men to join the military, let us invest in sport instead.
Just allow them play each for 10 to 15 years.
go into coaching while some open business and investments in corollary to the sport programs, others after coaching move into punditry and commentators and they all die as saintly as they came.
We can make this possible protect the souls and actions karma of our cities by creating the need berth and distractions for 70 years in sports and innovations and investment. That kept institutionalized the happy churn of a happy people, a happy state of mind, a happy life.
