They regard citizens of other countries as spies, inferior, infidels and sluggards. This is probably the reason for the series of unending boundary disputes in some countries. In the same context, religious upheavals cannot be overlooked.
The situation of things in the world is such that: we complain that things are bad in the morning; our complaints grew worse in the afternoon, and by evening, the problem would have reached climax (from worse to worst). I cannot remember a day, since I was born on this planet, when people from all lands around the globe were/are happy─ if there’s no accident, there will be war; if there’s no war, there will be plane crash; if there’s no plane crash, there will be stress…prayers that’s all we need on the planet earth to alleviate our problems.
Lastly, since a positive change can only come through concerted effort; you, me, and the rest of the world must determine a change if we truly want transformation and reformation of our lives to a wholesome standard.
Our roles are simple. Though we have lists of inexhaustible negative influences, what we have to do when we are pushed to the wall is…in case of…
Bribery ─ reject it, follow due process.
Fraud ─ expose the perpetrators, cry out!
Child mutilation ─ report them to the police, sue them in court.
Racism ─ stop it! Embrace culture relativity.
War ─ we can prevent it; human beings are not chickens, please dialogue.
Prostitution ─ arrest those culpable; women are not to be used as sex-symbols; sex education is a must for all teenagers.
Unemployment ─ learn craft if you are unemployed; provide jobs if you are an employer; learn sports; agriculture will surely make you an income earner.
Bad company ─ run-away from evil friends, work with cultured people.
Laziness ─ don’t condole it; work harder.
Low income ─ work harder to earn more income; study well, you will find a good job in the future. Your labour shall not be in vain.
Poverty ─ government should help its citizen; the rich should assist the poor; the poor with nobody to help him, should look for an arable land for farming. We will break the jinx of poverty.
Famine ─ government and international agencies should co-operate on irrigation; food provision, etc
Emigration ─ can be curbed by improving living and working conditions in our developing countries.
Litigation ─ give to your neighbour what is rightly his.
Libel and Slander ─ discourage it; sensitize the press; speak against it.
Hiv/Aids─ stop casual sex; encourage monogamy, marriage is ideal.
Pessimist ─ try and understand, you are alive because you have a working anatomy, physiology and biochemistry. God will help us in our bid to secure a positive change for the world.
Sexual immorality ─ stop it! Shun pornography, stop the showing and acting of nude movies, we don’t need them; we all know men and women are meant to marry and have sex as couple. So, we don’t need sex movies to show us how to, or how they have sex!
Child abuse ─ arrest those culpable.
Child slavery and woman slavery ─ eschew it; give all children from all race equal rights; women have dignity, bestow it on them.
Chauvinism, insularity ─ be good ambassadors of your people/ country, love your neighbour as yourselves.
If at this 21st century we still fight wars with rockets, bombs and guns when we are at loggerheads with our neighbour (country or human being), then, we humans are too recalcitrant; we are not yet ready to learn, unlearn, and re-learn.
At this jet age, our intelligence should be used to better our lives and not eliminate it. We should desist from accumulation of weapons of mass destruction…atomic bomb, nuclear bomb or nuclear pile accidents may wipeout all living things out of this planet earth.
It’s hard to soar like an eagle when you work, dine, sleep, and receive ideas from turkeys.
