Good Values are Ingrdient for Rebranding

If only we had good values and right belief system we should have gotten a place among the richest countries in the world. But since we are otherwise as a people and nation, we can’t but be available at the top of the world’s poorest table.

Our poor perception about governance, wealth, power and respect for rule of law is becoming dreadful, awful and getting more unsafe. This discrepancy of knowledge hasn’t only affected us as individual it has also affected us collectively as a nation. Therefore, we can’t but remain poor.

Poverty for example, is a thing of the mind. Before poverty manifests outwardly it must have taken a whole of the inside. Since we can only manifest from the abundance of the resources that dwells in our inside our minds remains the major battle field.
The abundance of natural resources we have hasn’t brought us out of poverty as a nation. From the look of things pumping more money into our economy might not solve many of our national problems.

Quoting Sam Adeyemi “It is not the absence of money that makes one poor but the absence of values”

Our sense of value must have been stained by our crave and craze for material things. For instance, until you own huge material possessions like good cars, houses and fat bank account you might not be recognized or well treated in the society. We are quite unmindful that such actions reduces the value placed on “dignity of labor”

We pay little or no serious attention to people’s sources of wealth and personal values rather we shower some selected few with so much attention and respect even when all indications shows that their sources are questionable. Thereby, unconsciously, building a wider gap for inequality.

Emphasis are no longer laid on good sense of judgment, sound morals, dignity of labor, good manners, ethics and self discipline. The in thing amongst youth is the saying that “the end justifies the means”. Or “Just do it” like Nike says.
.
But if we must take back our place as the real giant of Africa that we are meant to be. First we must trace our steps back by paying much more attention to those trivial things like self discipline, good manners and most importantly our values and beliefs because they fuel all of our actions and our reactions.
