Nam's
bomb
??



I see that

the Founding Father is calling for Namibia to produce its own atom bomb to deal with trouble-makers, no doubt those neo-colonialists. Imagine - Namibia would become the latest world crisis point and a new headache for the US administration. They would be doubly worried - I mean all the North Koreans here are pretending they are building the presidential palace and things, but what if they are really advising on Namibia's nuclear programme?
I think the old gaffer is getting a bit confused - assuming that he knows what an atom bomb is, it does not follow that a country can start making bombs simply because it has some raw uranium deposits. It's like saying that we have a large supply of old aluminium drink cans, so why don't we manufacture our own jet fighters?
This is surprising because apparently the FF enrolled at the University of Namibia to study geology and science and stuff. He doesn't seem to have learned much - maybe he has been bunking lectures. (Or another example of the non-employability of Namibian graduates?). Maybe also the company which granted him a generous study bursary will reconsider.
No, there comes a time when every elderly father should be provided care, a calm environment, supplied with comfortable slippers and a conquer-the-world video game if necessary, but kept away from too much excitement and certainly from contact with the media.
