"No Namibian must feel left out: - when you hear this slogan, you will immediately think of Namibia's President, Dr Hage Geingob.

"No Namibian should feel left out".

This has become the President of Namibia's key signature word (including "Omake"of course) as he beckons everyone one to be part of the prosperity team - unity in diversity.

It actually reminded me of the NBC World Leadership Programme that my employer hosts for the workers - where the facilitators - NBC Board Chairperson, Sven Thieme and NBC Director General Albertus Aochamub ask participants about the legacy certain leaders left behind. For example, if one saw the photo of Namibia's Founding Father of the Nation, Dr Sam Nujoma, one would immediately think of Namibia's liberations struggle and freedom, the same with South Africa's late President, one will immediately associated him with that country's freedom or USA's last JF Kennedy who was associated with having landed someone on the moon. This is also the same with our current President, Dr Geingob, although he is less than a month in the office, when one thinks about him, he can already be associated with - "No Namibian should feel left out" in the country's prosperity and all. And I am sure a lot is still in store for that purpose.

Now, back to the slogan of No One Should Feel left Out.......the purposes of this post.

How do we drive this trade mark home, right to the grassroots and ensure that each Namibian embraces is and whenever he or she is doing something must consider this important saying?

As I try to be creatively reflect on it, I am proposing that we CASCADE this inclusivity slogan to our various settings - regions, towns communities, work places, and families to ensure that everyone who forms part of a particular fabric is not left out, but included in whatever is meant for Namibia.
For example:
At the WORK PLACE we can say - just my thoughts as a Namibian right? Kindly do not interpret it differently, it is basically meant for the context I highlighted.
"No NBC employee should feel left out"
 And the list can go with other work places, I just mentioned my work place as an example
In a particular REGIONS  we could say:
"No Khomas Region Resident must feel left out".
In a TOWN OR CITY  we could say:
"No Windhoek City Resident should feel left out"

In a COMMUNITY we could say:
"No Mondesa Community resident should feel left out" or
"No Katutura Community Member, or Donkerhoek Community member should feel left out".
"No Pionierspark Community member or Windhoek West Community members  should feel left out".
At the FAMILY level we could say:
"No Muinjo Family Member" or "No Samuehls Family Member should feel left out".
This way, I am thinking we can give this "prosperity" slogan a deep and practical meaning as each one of us will have to entrench that.
Yeah, again, that was just my personal thought as I reflect on the way forward - being an excited member of the prosperity team member or resident of Namibia.
I love face-book as it really gives an opportunity for a person to express one's thoughts - at least positive thoughts which can be shared with others.
