It is important to know when to quit

It is important to know when to quit and have the courage to do so without a second thought.

When you do not have principle, and you do not have a red line, you are messed up and compromised. Ask Reuben Abati, the foremost Nigerian political critic and then famous chief-editor of Guardian Newspaper - he dined with the people who ruined Nigeria, people he had spent his career criticizing, then he joined them. Abati did not know when to call it quit and his legacy is forever stained. Abati cannot recover for being the chief spoke's person for President Goodluck Jonathan - he was used to perpetuate and peddle lies for years, and he would not quit even though he had a flourishing career at Guardian before this job.

This is Cacophony at Best...

MAGA destroyed DEI but they want to implement DEI at Harvard... They claim the school is not diverse enough. They have too many liberals, so they need to hire more conservative, whether they meet the hiring requirement or survive the rigor of delivering excellence at Harvard or not. This is what they claim DEI is all about - hiring people based on race, they claim, but they have no issue telling Harvard to hire based on political ideology.... You read the same thing about BLM and Antisemitism. They say BLM reflects poorly on the history of America... Critical race theory is false history... slaves loved being in captivity, they loved their masters and served willingly... there is no more discrimination based on the color of your skin in America - but all the metrics point in the opposite direction... Jewish Lives Matter; Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian Lives Matter... All Lives Matter. A terrorist life should not be equal to 20 innocent Palestinian life... It is okay to forget abou...

Botswana, a country of 2.3 million people...
