What a nation with so many resources, with so many values, with so many opportunities in the best of weather conditions, with lots of talents and lots of treasures. A nation that is blessed with everything you can imagine. Green or grey, everything is available, but yet we’ve got nothing to show for what we have. We’ve got nothing to justify that we deserve those resources we have gotten.
We are like prodigal sons. We lack the concept of management even when we claim to have lots of managers. We lack the concept of prudence even when we claim that we are one of the best people who can manage and help people become prudent. It is sad to see a nation like ours that has it all but with nothing to show for it. It is sad to see a nation like us that has everything the world can ever imagine or pray for. Yet, we can’t even deliver ourselves.
From the north to the south, from the west to the east, we have been blessed with everything, but it’s unfortunate that every time we try to assess what we have made out of what we are blessed with, we can show anything. We would rather fight each other than support one another. We would rather make enemies out of nothing than making harmony out of everything we have got. We all have a piece of something valuable deposited all around us, yet we politically preserve things while allowing them to go to waste; it’s sad to see that nothing is worth showing for a country that has everything.
Hunger is dealing with the sons of our farmers. Lack of water is what we experience in the mix of many oceans. We can’t even power ourselves. Yet, we give confidence to other people that we can give them the light they need to power their darkness. What a mystery of a nation! A nation that has everything and nothing to show for it.
Our youth have seen that hard work has a place in the dump and is for people who are lowlifes because they have decided to go on smart work because hard work no longer pays in our land. People who are diligent at work seem like full fools, and foolish people are seen as smart people, but one thing about the future is that it serves everybody right. What a nation that empowers thuggery over intelligent people. What a country that prefers to bring in unqualified expatriates to be bossy over their professors and research.A nation that never appreciates its own but always welcomes the rotten ones from other nations.
I hope that we, as a people, will revert and retrace our steps to make our land a better place. Remember that until the prodigal son returns home with regrets, his father has forsaken him. Maybe we can still find peace in the land. Maybe we can still find hope in our nation. If only we could revert to the kindness that we lived by every day in the past. Until we revert to the decree of love and unity that we all preach when we sing our national anthem, we might never again enjoy true peace.
