There are people on the streets with no where to go, am i responsible?
Africa is considered the poorest continent in the world, am i responsible?

There are things i can not be held resonsible for.
There are things out of my control
I can not be responsible for the actions of my fellow human beings,  i can only be resonsible for my own actions.

First ever Police Strike in the nation's history, am I responsible?
Ngige and Uba tango over godfatherism, am I in the know, and responsible?
Tafa siphoning state money under the watchful eyes of OBJ, am I responsible?
Nigeria has been ranked as the country with the highest number of happy people in the world, am I responsible for that? - me, I'm not happy sha.

The list is endless.

Yes and Yes , by your actions and or inactions , perhaps you need to reflect deeply on the message , the choice I reaffirm, is yours. Prophet.

I think you're a prophet of doom.

I thank that your "thinking" is not my God who Sent me. May it be unto you according to what you wish for me and what is in your heart towards me. Thanks very much. Amen.

Prophet, there comes a time when we all have to swallow our pride and admit we are wrong. I personally don't see how i can be responsible for what other people do or don't do. So i say this: For Nigeria's Health, We should all Unite.

Does the fact that you don't see it mean that it is wrong? Then tell me: is it right for anyone to apologise for what others think is wrong , especially when the former know they are right? However, one man's meat is another man's poison? In your human wisdom? Did it occur to you to postulate that some people ought to apologise for the unwarranted abuse etc. meted out to "outlaws" (for my faith and or position on national issues) like me? The whole idea of this poem is "COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY". Just in case you never get it. You may not agree, but your action and or inaction affects others whether you like it or not; and whether you acknowledge it or not!
Thank you.

I left my country when things were still good,
I came back and asked myself, "what happened"
coz it seemed to me the nation had gone back like 10years,
am I responsible too.

The policeman the points a gun at my head and collects 20naira,
am I responsible for that too,
If I had got shot in my skull, who would be responsible.

Prophet, lets begin to live in the reality.

I was in the United States when Obasanjo decided to scuttle democracy via third term agenda, am i responsible?
Liyel Imoke has said Nigeria cannot dream of stable electricity supply until 2056, is it my fault? Did i steal the NEPA cables?
Because of Galadima and Sambawa, FIFA is about to ban Nigeria from international football for two years, am i responsible?
You, prophet MBA come here blabbing about the "God" that sent you, did i put words in your mouth?

Home training is a must for all children. What is your responsibility? In Nigeria, as far as Nigeria is concerned, do you then have any responsibility, since the greatest barrier to learning together is very poor communication. Someone speaks and others thought they heard; but even though they did hear physically, emotional trips muffled the actual message. The quality of communication is evidenced in the reality of mutual understanding. When communication breaks down, then no progress can occur. You abuse me and insult me because I said something. Forget who sent me or not; however, I said something. Rather than ask me what am saying and give me the opportunity to open it up further or simply make your own disposition known, you heap abuse on me. Are you responsible for that? The poem was to stimulate reflection not bile. If we cannot be mature in communication, how can we complain that things are not right no our country. What is your responsibility to the nations you reside in and compare Nigeria with? Very interesting indeed and very very amusing. If you and I are not responsible for the well being of Nigeria, who is?

Maybe you should explain yourself. Maybe we would have understood better if the title read: For Nigeria's Health, WE are responsible.

Many fail to understand no matter what one does and or says. Some understand alright; but it is inherent in them to make a mountain out of a molehill and get personal for no reasonable cause. "We" is very much embeded in the poem for those with an open mind who are not intent on casting aspersions. I am sure if you read the whole piece again with a fair/just mindset and with the openness to learn, you will decipher the message very easily. I however applaud the fact that you are doing your best to keep civil. My choice of title and words used to communicate the message are very deliberately to stimulate reflection, thoughts and contributions from all. We are all responsible anyway. So, for God and country, let us join hands and help rebuild Nigeria. Nigeria must not be left to the oligarchy and cohorts who held us bound for so many years! I am very sure that their intention (being "born to rule" is to take over power and "rule" us again. We all have a choice. Peace.

hello Prophet,

I would like to assist you with some other info that may be in your interest. There is another Prophet on Nairaland. His name is Mr. Filch, aka Reverend. He sees so many things wrong with Nigeria, just as I suppose you see it.

Perhaps the two of you could meet and discuss ways in which we as NLs can move this nation forward.
Just search through the other threads and maybe you would see his nickname,

cheers
Kimba

Thanks Kimba for the kind thoughts.
I know so much is wrong with Nigeria but see so much that is good and choose to highlight the latter. Anything I can, I will do to lend a hand to all who are determined to rebuild Nigeria. The Lord is my Shepherd. As for NLs, I don't know what that means. However, I am for the best interests of Nigeria anytime anyday. Peace.

Kimba,

That's one of the most useful of all suggestions I've come across on NL.

Prophet,
Please heed the words of Kimba. With Revvy, you pair will definitely become a great force to reckon with when it comes to prophesying and looking at things differently, or should I say upside down?

I guess I'm right, Kimba.

Bros Ono,

Yes o, you are right. We should leave the elders to do their job, while those of us, we'll follow as led by the Holy Spirit.

Now this turning into a christian thread.
