| Martin Kollie - Rash and kooky |
Part
I
Take
a good look at him. Not his weird eyes. He is the Secretary of the University
Student
Unification Party (SUP). This is the only student group in the Republic
of Liberia that has yet to come to grips that communist-styled military regalia,
gears and costumes have out lived their relevance. Even today, I surmise Martin
and his colleagues have not realized that communism and socialism have been crushed
globally. But I can understand, it has not occurred to them that the SUPists of
yesteryear used the Cuban military attire to herald their insatiable desire to make
Liberia a communist nation. That foolhardy ideology is not only dead, but it is
farfetched and unattainable…not yesterday, not today.
Martin
Kollie is indeed a young man, and I admire his energy, lest I realized he’s
kooky, so are his irresponsible conclusions. Today, he branded me a CDCian
without taking time to know me. For him, nobody should challenge his lies. For
instance, he said in one his posts that President Weah was the only president
who uses public funds to build a public structure and name it after himself.
So, I thought to give him a little history lesson. I reminded him of a couple of
instances:
That Samuel Doe built the SKD Complex and named it after himself; that Tubman built
the WVS Tubman high school and named it after himself. Martin took offense and
his best shot was to brand me a Weah supporter and a CDCian. In our exchange,
Martin chose to insult me and posed a challenge to me that he would expose me
soon. I want him to expose me now, so I am starting the war NOW. I gladly
accept. Perhaps, Martin and his likes think they make important marks when they
picket and allow innuendos to ooze out of their perky minds and spew insanity
to the people around them. Being a student is one thing but being a rational
and responsible one is quite another.
Where
I live, students make research and come up with theories and data that national
governments use to correct the errors of society. In my own situation, I have participated
in some deep researches of bad laws in two states: North Dakota and Minnesota.
The objectives of the researches are to identify laws that are not working,
laws that have bad effects, and laws that can be changed but still maintain the
overall root objective to make it work. Is that how Martin Kollie and his likes
are proceeding at the University of Liberia? The college education he seeks is not about
opening your mouth and screaming in the streets, lying about government hunting
you just because you want to gain asylum in the future. It is more about
keeping a cool head, thinking the bigger picture that you are about to take
national leadership soon. Unfortunately, Martin would carry himself getting drunk
in night clubs and bars, only to accuse the government of attempting to kill
him.
Watch
out for part two. Martin, invite all the UL students to help you. I am on you
now.
