Zimbabwe’s ruling party has been confirmed as the winner of the first of 23 constituencies. So, after not bringing any tangible benefit to the people he ruled for more than two decade, this man does not want to let his people be? How heartless can one be? We have seen and heard how the poor people in Zimbabwe are suffering, how scared they are to live life. Oh my God, save Africans from themselves. How can one not want to bring change to the people one serves? I always said the leaders in Africa have a lot to account for. Greed, selfishness, love of power, lack of intelligence are some factors that stop these leaders thinking straight. My prayers are with the poor masses who have to suffer the brunt of all these.
Meanwhile in another part of the continent, an estimated 300,000 people may have died as a result of the Darfur conflict. That is a lot of souls isn’t it? The conflict has gone on for a very long time and it gets to a time when every one will get tired of hearing the same story over and over again. How can there be development when the people don’t want to develop? How can there be development when the people despise their land and the fellow people in it?
On another news, the Federal Government on Wednesday initiated discussions with the United Kingdom on ways and means to repatriate over 1,600 Nigerian prisoners in British prisons. Do we need these criminals to add to the problems of Nigeria? These people left the shores of Africa, came to a land where they could have made a difference to their families and be good ambassadors, instead, they chose to live up to the stereotype. 1,600 is an awful amount of criminals. I am tired of people who make being Nigeria a shameful thing. The country is a fantastic country with wonderful people of integrity. It’s only a shame the ones we see or hear about are the ones who tarnish the good image.
I hope you are all having a lovely week? Do take care.
I love the issues you treat on your blog...thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteLily, we are our problems in Africa! Even if you call a dog a bad name to provide substantial evidence to kill it, the dog still has the power of choice! It can either choose to accept the name and respond when called upon or do otherwise! The call us derogatory names like 'third world countries, scammers, niggers, under-developed countries, corrupt countries and all what's not but must we choose to act in compliance with their assumptions? Must we justify their bias and falacious generalisations?
Too bad that "our fathers have eaten sour grapes but the children's teeth are set on the edge". Africans should learn more to accept responsibility for what happens to Africa! It is our home, our heritage, our choice-brand and our child! Let us stop bringing the name of this great continent to disrepute. let our leaders be more reasonable in their leadership style and be selfless in their service to this great continent!
Honestly, why can't we be fair and sincere for just once? why can't Africans conduct a free and a fair election? Why must we always result to conflict and crisis as a way of resolving issues? what has happened to dialogue as a way of resloving our differences? What has happened to the legal system?
A child who leaves his father's house to rob his neighbour has only brought shame on not just himself alone but also on his entire family! This is the case of the 1,600 Nigerian prisoners in British prisons! They should be hanged! This is my verdict!
God help Nigeria!
