Nigerians: Our Values Of Mediocrity Must Stop by waldigit: 4:29am On Aug 25, 2015 |
Nigerians hear me out on the way we think. When will
our values change when shall we stop craving to be
rich in wealth, but poor in idea? When shall we stop
celebrating mediocrity in the name of love for
materialism? When shall the values be placed on what
we are capable of doing as opposed to what we have.
We are always proud to declare that we are endowed
with natural resources such as oil etc, but never be
proud of owing a patient to a single technology of
exploring these natural resources
The miracle we celebrate in our religious houses has
always been we have been able to acquire private jets
and able to build the largest auditorium in the world,
but never has anyone celebrated a miracle of our
ability to invent new technology for creating these
wealth. What type of miracle do we ask from God?
God showed us in bible that we can change our
destiny. Why then have we failed to opt for this choice
instead of being complacent to be second class citizen
of the world?
The economy that has majority of its citizen living
below 1 dollar a day is celebrating producing the
richest politicians, businessmen and clergymen that
can compete favourably with G7 economies. Frankly
speaking, this is CORRUPTION induced MISNORMAL.
Our mediocrity values is always driving us to religious
houses to go asking to be an island of prosperity
amidst ocean of poverty. And it seems, God in his
faithfulness is granting our hearts desire to our
collective shame among community of world nations. |
