"WE ARE OUR OWN BIGGEST HURDLE TO OUR DEVELOPMENT ASPIRATIONS"
by Dr. Tom Lino.
We've taken them for granted.
Let me give some examples:
1) Our own people scheme and scam and sell all our land to foreigners;
2) We chew and spit betel nut spittle on the roads and pavements without even a second thought;
3) We litter everywhere;
4) We ask our own people for tips to do things we are paid to do as public servants;
5) The police have become MEDIATORS and protectors of upper class citizens instead of LAW ENFORCERS and protectors of state and public property;
6) We come to work very late and yet spend only a hour at work and wonder off early for buai and smoke breaks-our productivity is way too low, we're cheating our government (us) of productive hours;
7) The first thing our graduates are doing is learning how to scheme and scam-our education system has created a system of ELITE scammers; honesty and hard work are values quite rare amongst our young populace;
8) We aid and abet foreigners to rob and plunder our nation without any form of remorse, (walked into one of our departments and saw these foreigners just waking around freely inside this office picking cheques and papers from one section to another without any form of respect;
Our systems and sovereignty have become desecrated to a level now where foreigners trample on them with little to no respect at all ( I would not tromp into a foreign office in a foreign country and do likewise checking on my payments);
9) We no longer respect the jobs we do, etc These are symptoms of a failing culture and nation. Unless we realize that there is NO SUBSTITUE FOR HARD WORK, HONESTY AND RESPECT, we are slowly moving towards the verge of total national collapse and failure.
