If you have two positions and you have to give 42 tribes, then that will be a very godly and magical move. This issue of tribalism has become a monster in this country.

Sometimes, I wonder if my children are their mother’s tribe or mine. That is because I have given them names across both places where they come from.

On the issue of irrigation, we know that one of the biggest challenges in agriculture in this country is relying on rain-fed agriculture, where we have to wait for seasons.
