I listened
to one of my mentors today and he made me realize how important I am to my
environment and vice-versa. Bruding over the topic above, I decided to share it
with you my friends.
From my
understanding, I have come to see that you cannot give more than you have, the environment
we are is the mould that shapes one’s life, as we all know, no matter the
quality of a seed, it’s productivity is dependent in the soil in which it is
planted.
As we know, our
environment influences our aspirations and goals based on what we see and like,
it limits us to certain type or class of people, who we over time become
friends and share our dreams with. With our knowledge of this fact, why don’t
we then take issues relating to our environment serious? , I wonder.
Also, the
other twist to the issue is that we determine our environment, we collectively
as a people determine what we want, which in turn shapes and determines what we
get from life, but due to our “I don’t care attitude”, we leave this very
important aspect in the hands of the greedy, self centered people who don’t
have any positive value to add, it is so evident why we as a nation are where
we are.
Looking
around today, it is visible for everyone to see that people are not building
creative instinct, but that of survival and it is basically because of the
circumstances people face on a daily basis in a country where basic needs are
not available, people do all to survive, which in turn makes them act like
animals.
My point
today is simple, whichever class in the society you feel you belong to, by this
I mean the rich, poor, intellectuals, conservatives, middle class and the
likes, it is the collective responsibility of everyone to build the environment
with resources and ideas they have so as to create an enabling environment.
We should in
our little communities take decisions not based on instant gratification and
satisfaction, but for its improvement. We should not let the common factor
“GREED” erode us of a better life for the populace and future generation, we should
re-orientate ourselves and possibly open the history books to find out the
driving values of our founding fathers and leaders, put them to work to make
sure we move forward.
We should not deceive ourselves by folding our arms, acting
unconcerned, because whatever damages caused would always come back to hunt us.
This little
advice I have for us today before things go out of hand and we start to regret.
GOD BLESS
THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. GOD BLESS US ALL.
