"Time To Halt This Descent To Agony"
For four years now, I have been observing things around me and I have not been impressed. In fact, I was saddened a lot. When I rejoined this community after fifteen years of being out of it, the first thing I noticed was the quality of education being on the rise.
For sure, the quality I had no qualms of any kind is high compared to the city and humans I left behind prior to my travel fifteen years earlier. There was a kind of attitude the dwellers of this city were projecting during the years I was here. It was a kind of claim from some quarters that the city is not for education but for buying and selling. If you want to talk about education, go to Enugu or Owerri and talk about education. This Onitsha and Aba is for buying and selling.
But to my surprise on rejoining the city, I was astounded to notice that even educated kids can be sired by illiterate business parents. The manner the so-called illiterate parents spend on their ward's education these days will tell you that illiteracy is not even a choice to them but the reality they face helplessly.
It's as if all of them sat and concluded that if it's a family or lineage curse, let it come to a halt in my lifetime, sort of attitude I am seeing from most of them. It's not as if I missed why what is happening is made possible or something. I know that my set was tutored mainly by level six holders from the Teachers Training Colleges, popularly known as TTC but these generations had surplus level eight at their pick and call as their teachers.
But my observation is that it appears as if we traded some other important traits for the quasi-quality education we are getting and it has been sooo disheartening to me. Attitude and influence we bring to bear in other areas like common sense and the effect we have on the character of kids and adults is nothing to smile about. It's just so awful.
This new human nature seems to have hit this part of the world and part of my nation the hardest. All the gains made in education had been a kind of waste if you seek my opinion. The influence of the adults in the society by faaarrr outweighs the influence school has on the character and reasoning ability of the kids and as i see it, wasting the gain from education sector.
I have moved around in the core regions of this country before leaving the shores of this nation. I know that attitude, which normally and rightly influences behavior is that of your host never for any reason that of your visitor. For example, I was born inside here, so I will claim to know at least 95% of what I am saying. The owners of the land are the influencers of behavior of any visitor, any foreigners among them not the other way around.
What I am witnessing here in the city I came into this green planet in, is not encouraging and I believe I need to point it out to those that are masters. Actions need to be channeled towards that end or we will live to regret keeping mute.
Now, adults are the miscreants we have among us here not kids, not anyhow education, not bad economy, not foreigners from outside the region but those from the region that understand the tradition and the culture well and values our forefathers attached to some behaviors etc.
Hey!,
There is new human nature in Ghana, Gambia, Cameroon, Fulani land and Yoruba land. Not only in our region. It's getting crazier each day here. Not as if we are standing still or something, we are being pushed attitude and influence-wise backwards to the middle of 20th century others left behind donkey years ago.
Nah! Is my stand.
Napoleon Hill said that everyone faces defeat. It may be a stepping stone or stumbling block depending on the mental attitude with which it is faced.
Why must ours be a stumbling block? Haven't we staggered enough? I saw the government and people being helpless being penetrated as easily as a hot knife to butter. My snooping revealed this group that call themselves cult. Managers of the city not in the constitution anywhere. This state is known beyond the region as a forward-thinking state not the slab we are now.
Nah once again is my stand. You could not believe that people running here calling themselves cult or community police are 90% non-indigenes. How will we not be influenced by those we are supposed to be influencing and how will we not be regressing?
Nah once again.
Government should through the town leaders and the kings, print forms and tell everyone in this state to state where he came from, local government, state, etc., what he does, those he leads, where he belongs, what their function is. Who they report to. How they gather for meetings, where, source for funds and how they implemented what they agreed on. And reasons for what they do. Physically and spiritually.
Everyone ought to return to his state and manage such organizations pertaining to this rubbish i am seeing here in connection to new human nature. Imagine the nonsense of sacrificing common sense for what? Good attitude for what, sound reasoning for what? Privacy in your own bedroom and toilet for what? If you are not here as a foreigner for your daily bread, time to pack and go.
Bad influence is easy to acquire and too difficult to do away with. The idea is always to cut it short from day one, once it becomes part and parcel of what anyone is, hard to curtail or stop. Do you know that 90% of the people here messing around in this new nature shit are not from this state? Imagine who you are supposed to be telling: this is the route, follow it is telling you to enter the bush and stay there. Where does nonsense like that take roots and bad story, lamentation and sadness is not its end product? If you are not here for your daily bread, return to your state. Leav the management and security of the society to the indigenes. They can do it better than you. They know what is best for them than you think.
Tell me where in history it has never been the case. Lamentation. Nonsense. These things exist in other regions and nations around us, it's not this way. It must stop in peace or be forced in pieces to halt.
Governors and kings, your arena. Time to act.
