YOUR SECURITY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITYA letter from Grandpa (I Believe In Your Future) to the nation, especially the YOUTH.Epigram:"The falcon cannot hear the falconer;Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhereThe ceremony of innocence is drowned;The best lack all conviction, while the worstAre full of passionate intensity."---William Butler Yeats.
It is clear this country is not safe at all. I admonish all my people to be extra vigilant. Your security is your responsibility. Just take it that there are no security forces, there are no courts, no Policemen, no Army, no Navy, no Air Force, BECAUSE, THEY THEMSELVES ARE NOT SAFE EITHER. This is not an invitation to disregard the rule of law. Wickedness is on the rise daily, people are becoming more empowered to do more evil because there are no arrests in most cases. Even in cases where people are arrested, those that are arrested are not prosecuted and incarcerated. In the words of the all times great writer Charles Dickens, we are in "...the worst of times, the best of times...." Everything now depends on you, as a citizen. The best anyone can do for you in times like this is to arrest your assailants, but as you yourselves know, the chorus of the courts now is, THERE'S NO EVIDENCE FOR PROSECUTION AND YOUR KILLERS WILL BE SET FREE.Avoid politicising every issue. Don't fight because of party politics. You speak if you choose to, on national issues, make your voice heard, and speak to the issues happening around you. You pay taxes. Even if you don't, as a citizen, it is your responsibility to speak up, in order to have the best of leaderships for our country and generations after us. You need to ensure that the people you put in charge of your money and resources are making good use of them. If they do otherwise, you can speak your mind. If you support a certain party, it doesn't mean you should support everything they do. Open your eyes, open your heart and mind to reason objectively and clearly with your future and the future of your children at heart. Don't fight your friend because of party politics, and be prepared for constructive criticism. Don't allow any politician to use you to cause harvoc or chaos. Some of these guys are just greedy folks who do not care if you lose your life for them to get the power and position they want. Eyes have opened, young people all over the world are now following pragmatic and result oriented transformational leaderships. Nobody in the world is blindly following any politician anymore. Don't be the only fool. Before I proceed, let me pause and ask you...ARE YOUR ACTIONS POINTING TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE? The places you go, what you are doing in times like this, are they pointing to a brighter future? Reason up. Others are attending classes, some are working to save money, others are too proud to sell or do something for money. It's your choice though, but whatever you are doing, will affect your future. Go to school, take courses and attend seminars and programs that will make your life meaningfully memorable. Don't just go about wasting your life and blindly following politicians without reasoning things out for yourself. If you died today, life in this country will not cease. You are just like a grain of sand on the shore, insignifiant, yet relevant. Make your life count. Now back to the drawing board. Take responsibility for your security. Don't walk in dark places, especially alone. Don't wear dark clothing at night; rather wear what can radiate, wear white or any sharp colours. Don't go places where clearly, violence is inevitable; like the night clubs, gyms, and the criminal corners. Where there's a gathering of people and you don't know why they are gathered, don't just walk in there to satisfy your curiosity. Lock your doors well and securely too. Avoid flaunting your riches and blessings about, else you attract envious and wicked men. That is not an endorsement of guys who do not bath regularly and wear all kinds of shabby attires in the name of modesty. Dress well, take good care of yourself and look smart, BUT DO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF YOUR SECURITY. Above all, SMILE WITH CONFIDENCE. BE WATCHFUL, Be wise.
