Sometimes I’m treated like a foreigner in my own country, like I don’t belong here. I’m a single mother of 8 and none of my children are at school. I clean houses whilst carrying the child I’m carrying now. The rest of my children look for any type of work that they can find. I know it’s a hard life and it’s not easy but what makes it so much harder and at times unbearable is how people treat me and my children. I sometimes feel like I’m in an ocean of people whose hearts are made of stone. Many discriminate against me because of my very dark skin colour. I tell them, that’s how God created me and I can’t change it. Either they reject me because I’m from a minority clan or because of my skin colour. Sometimes, I contemplate whether death is better for us than living in a wretched life.”

Come on man, this is silly made up statement, no source no meaning, I have never heard of such nonsense.

“I’m a 17 year old married shop owner. My wife and I currently attend high school. We are in the same class. Marrying young is part of the norm here in our city. The parents support the young couples and it forces many youngsters to be responsible and not waste their time and life with unnecessary stuff. Many of the newcomers in our city ask us how we support ourselves and how we live and I respond to that I’m a business man and I support my family. My brother and I have a rotating shift at our shop, allowing us to work and at the same time attend school. I believe the young men should get married early and built a family and busy themselves with their wives and families. It prevents engaging in premarital sex and reduces the urge to migrate overseas.”
