A Word
What Problem can you solve?
What problem does your heart want to solve?
Abraham Lincoln defined Democracy as “the government of the people, by the people and for the people.” He understands what he is saying. 😊 This doesn't happen here, does it?
We all are leaders in one way; placing the fault in our Nigerian rulers would not just help us out. The system has been faulty right from the roots and it has grown so deep into the ground and it's become a tree 🌲. So what's the solution to the long-term problem of a Nation whose rulers keep shouting Change all around and yet what we see is just a voice dancing without a beat played.
Whether we live in a corrupt land or not. What problem does your heart want to solve?
You can't solve the whole issue by talking about it in your Protests. There are actions you can take too.
You live in luxury and there is a beggar or the needy in that same area you live, you blame the country for the predicament of the needy when you can solve the problem of the needy yourself.
What makes you different from the rulers? Is it a Nation that doesn't have the database of her people that will assist someone she doesn't even know exist?
You can become a leader by bringing out the good qualities in human. Let's live in love and harmony. We are brother's and sisters.
*It's not everytime that you should beat the boy who stole your #100, he's starving and that's the best thing his BRAIN can think about to survive.
*It's not Everytime that you should frown at the beggars when you have nothing to offer them; you can still offer them a smile. Life has dealt with them enough. Solve their problem.
According to the Himba tribe:
“The correction of antisocial behavior doesn't pass through punishment, it is by love and reminder of identity. When you recognise your own song, you don't want or need to do anything that would harm the others.”
Everyone has a song to sing. Remind others of their song. We are not birthed to be beggars.
We are not birthed to be slaves.
We are not birthed to suffer and be caged like a parrot.
Remind others the song of freedom. The song of love. The song of truth that makes us know what happened in the days of our Ancestors.
Remind others our Identity. Do you really know who you are?
Remind them. Become the Solution that we want.
Although we might be lost in the wilderness of life but have this with you
“And when it's time to find home, we know the way”
So I ask again. What problem does your heart want to solve?
“Seven lives, that's what I've got
I am an Africa Boy”
