Go Japan

Roadside;
At first I thought it crazy, when I mentioned it to friends, they laughed, in the bar they applauded. But it’s true. Even CNN has confirmed it.
Japan is sending its workers home early twice a week, as an incentive to encourage them to have more babies. Apparently Japan’s birth rate is so slow, that it may face extinction. Scientists are doing calculations and studies to see when this happens.
In Uganda, the saying is that we are producing at a supersonic rate. I wonder why the Japanese have not yet sent a team to study and then copy how Ugandans are able to produce so many babies, with even little incentives.
Come to think of it; we spend a lot of time stack in traffic jam and meandering potholes, sit on counters draining everything with an alcoholic label, cheer and thereafter analyze European league football on street corners. With all these engagements, we have managed to grow.
I will offer Japan free and unsolicited consultancy. Some of the workers may refuse to go home, trying to earn extra bucks in these predictable (yes) times of slumber.
Therefore, the most honorable thing to do is to ensure a power shut down every evening, for a minimum six hours. Even the shy ones, (Japanese reputation for shyness is well documented) will have no excuse. Then, let their be a prize, I propose a heifer and teddy bear, for the couple that gives birth to twins, triplets or just gives birth more often.
To compound this story, I consulted Mr. NaTanansi Akanywa, a well traveled man, who has traveled as far as the next hill across his father’s homestead. He confirmed that in darkness, there is an increased level of baby production.
“You see in towns, I hear they give birth to few children. That is because they have this light (electricity). But in villages, we give birth to many, because night time is busy as its dark.” He said.
An advice from a well traveled elder is respected.
