I am because we are and we are because you are…. It hurts knowing that the only way our leaders raise funds is by begging for Aides and running to the IMF, other institutions and nations whenever things don’t go on their way, what makes it more ironic is them praising themselves for being able to go beg for money, they have no shame running to the IMF and other nations for alms.
What are we going to do, what do we do to ensure a better future for our kids?
• Go back to our roots, from there we know the fruits it bears
• Taking up our responsibilities, duties and obligations and not shifting them to the IMF and others
I learnt in basic school that culture is the way a group of people live…… now where is our culture?
It is undoubtedly true that some of our culture is not right but then again we have our conscience to guide us, we need to regenerate some of our values and do away with our self rejection and contemptness.
We need to control and not be controlled. Neo colonialism ends in our minds. Culture is psychological; it is only our past that is a concrete model for us to go forward
Morality and Legitimacy………
