The wrongs of yesterday are becoming the rights of today.

Politics!!!!

'In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends".

Our problem is not that we don't know our actions are wronged, we just don't have the courage to correct them.

When it is wronged, it is wronged. There is nothing like " this is how it done here in Liberia".

We have to change the lens we are using to view Liberia. We can't continue to attribute what is wronged, ugly, corrupt, and inhumane, as things that are unique to Liberia and at the same time except Liberia to be a better place.

What if we begin to view our country with the same lens we use to view other countries like America, Ghana, South Africa, Great Britain etc. For us, those are best parts of the world to live and very few places where laws and orders should be adhere to unless Liberia.

Someone has to start something right. Once it is wronged, it is wronged. We have to admit that we are the problems and not our country.

If you took the Americans, Ghanaians, South Africans and people of those other nations we admire most and brought than all to Liberia and in the same manner, left to stay in their respective countries, in no time, we will soon transformed those land into nations of lawlessness, corruption and all of those unprohibited things that we find unique to Liberia.

If we continue to view Liberia as hell, a hell it remains. But if we can monster the courage and begin to take responsibility for our actions by viewing Liberia as a paradise, as we view other nations, so it will become.

Don't respect people because you want them to do the same. Respect them because it the right thing to do.

Happy Sunday, family.

"IF YOU DO NOT SIT DOWN TO LIE DOWN, PEOPLE WILL SAY THAT YOU FALL DOWN" so reads a great African proverb.

"It is not always the best runner of a race that emerge the victor or victorious". Speed is good, but accuracy is better.

Beautiful daughters and brilliant sons of Alkebulan, my fellow students, intellectual giants and great militants, I serve you greetings!

These things are say to you, I say to all. " he who wants to walk must firstly learn how to crawl."

"The strength of a wise man is not measured by the size his muscle, instead it is the product of his intellectual ability."

IT IS TIME WE LEARN HOW TO SIT DOWN BEFORE WE LIE DOWN OR WE WILL KEEP FALLING DOWN!

SEEK WISDOM!

OBSERVATION

For little over one year or more, it's either we wake up to the writing of hate speeches being circulated on social media or we go to bed with negative propaganda being broadcast on our local radio stations; something that we ourselves (the youth) are the engineers of.

Interestingly, just yesterday when I was a child and still in high school, my motivation and courage were lightened by the widespread notion that "the youths are the future or tomorrow's leaders".

How I wonder if those words still hold true today, because our actions and attitudes as young people speak contrary to what is being believed.

It's indeed a pity how some of us young people are very hateful and negative in our thoughts towards others.

The irony is "we are hopeful of becoming today's or tomorrow's leaders, yet we are very disrespectful and mean to the leaders of today".

Heroes and heroines are no longer those ones whose stand for social justice and equity in our countries or society, instead we celebrate people who physically abuse and misuse the laws and norms that protect us.

I THOUGHT THE PRINCIPLES TO LONG LIFE AND PROSPERITY ARE CENTERED AROUND HONORING OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS(WHICH LITERALLY COVERS CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES)? OR MAYBE THOSE PORTIONS OF OUR SACRED BOOKS NO LONGER MAKE SENSE TO US?

Well, we don't necessarily have to be schooled with teachings of the Koran, Verdas or Bible to understand these long life principles. Common Sense teaches us too. "He who steals my money and wallet, has stolen nothing, but he who steals my good name, has stolen everything"!

KNOWLEDGE is information of which someone is awared. It is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject potentially with the ability to use it for a specific purpose. Knowledge is gained through learning facts.

WISDOM is the ability to make correct judgments and decisions. It is an intangible quality gained through our experiences in life. WISDOM comes from observing experiences and learning from them in a way that affects future decisions and behavior . It is the capacity to see the truth of a matter, inspire of any illusions or distractions.

INSIGHT is the deepest level of knowing and the most meaningful in your life. It is deeper and clearer perception of life, of knowledge, of wisdom. it's grasping the underlying nature of knowledge and essence of wisdom.

IN NUTSHELL : If knowledge is information, wisdom is the understanding and application of that information ( knowledge) and insight is the awareness of the underlying essence of a truth.

SADLY WE CAN GAIN A LIFETIME OF KNOWLEDGE, YET NEVER SEE THE WISDOM IN IT. WE CAN BE WISE, BUT STILL MISS THE DEEPER MEANING.

Great militants and scholars, my fellow students and academicians, BRAINS and gladiators, intellectual giants, beautiful daughters and brilliant princesses and princes of Alkebulan, I am well pleased to serve you my humble greetings and loyalty.

IT IS SECRET THAT THE BACKWARDNESS OF THIS GREAT CONTINENT IS AS A RESULT OF ILLITERACY, IGNORANCE, GREED, HATRED AND INEQUALITY.

Great militants and scholars, we all all knowledgeable to these facts!! It is now time we allow wisdom to reign!! It is time we apply our knowledge and transform our situations!!

THE STRUGGLE IS ON! ! join the fight!!

JUST MAYBE WE NEED TO REMIND OURSELVES " life doesn't end with just you and me, there are millions and millions of young people out there that need our help".

Our Countries, States and Continents are not always just the big Provinces, Cities and Towns where we live and enjoy to some extent all the comforts.

Lives extend in the distant Jungles, behind and on top of the high mountains and hills and deep down the lowest Valleys. There are suffering people across those rivers and lakes that we read about. Creature to which we belong also seek survival on those hard to reach islands.

THE QUESTION IS " IN OUR DECISION MAKING AND EQUITY DISTRIBUTION PROCESSES, ARE WE ALSO TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE INCLUSIVENESS AND WELL BEING OF THOSE SUFFERING MILLIONS"?

YOU ARE NOT MORE CITIZENS THAN THEM THOUGH.

SELFISHNESS IS WHEN YOU ARE CARRIED AWAY BY THE MERE THOUGH THAT YOU ARE A god-head THEREBY IGNORING THE IDEAS AND EXISTANCE OF OTHERS.

Displayed here are children from Japanta Community in Salala District B**g County. This forgotten community is home to some of the oldest and earliest people of Liberia. It comprises of Twelve Villages and towns including Japanta, Wheinta, Gbanta, Yeameii, Japan town just to name few.

With its over one thousand school going kids, the entire community can boast of having one abandoned school building for all its one dozen or more towns and villages. Classes are usually held on Tuesday and Thursday since in fact Monday, Wednesday and Friday are Flelela, Totota and Salala market days respectively and school going boys and girls are to help their parents and guardians transport red oil and tin of cane juice to those markets grounds.

As large as it is, this community lacks all the basic human needs. There is not a single drugs store not to speak of a clinic, people in this area still practice the traditional methods of fetching running water and poorly managed wells for consumption purposes. Their roads and bridges are among the very worst you can find anywhere. Thanks to big brother Paul Wungko
for his support in the construction of one modern bridge there.

They are to a larger extent the forgotten people of B**g county and Liberia at large when it comes to basic social services.

The BRAINS campaign is on!
