OBAMA?S VICTORY IN THE US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION FILLED US ALL WITH JOY BECAUSE IT SHOWS CHANGE CAN TAKE PLACE EVEN WHEN LEAST EXPECTED. IT ALSO SHOWS THAT HUMAN ACTION, WITH THE HELP OF GOD, CAN INFLUENCE CHANGE! AS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WELCOMES THE CHANGE AND THE JUBILATIONS CAN STILL BE HEARD IN THE REMOTEST OF PLACES, LET?S DON?T FORGET TO ASK OURSELVES: WHAT CHANGE FOR SIERRA LEONE?
THERE ARE FEW QUESTIONS SIERRA LEONEANS ALL OVER THE WORLD SHOULD BE ASKING THEMSELVES:
(1) AM I PROUD TO BE A SIERRA LEONEAN? IF YES, ASK YOURSELF WHY? IF NO, AGAIN WHY, AND WHAT CHANGE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE?
(2) AM I HAPPY WITH THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS (social, economic, political etc)?
(3) WHAT HAVE I DONE OR CAN DO INDIVIDUALLY OR COLLECTIVELY TO BRING A POSITIVE CHANGE TO SIERRA LEONE AND PUT HER ON THE MAP?
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, I BELIEVE THAT QUESTIONS SUCH AS THE ABOVE, IF ASKED OFTEN WOULD YIELD POSITIVE REACTIONS. THE AFFAIRS OF A COUNTRY CANNOT BE LEFT TO POLITICIANS ALONE REGARDLESS OF ONE?S POLITICAL AFFILIATION OR PARTISANSHIP. WE SHOULD ALL BE ACTIVE CITIZENS, PARTICIPATING IN OUR POLITICS AND BRINGING OUR LEADERS TO ACCOUNT. IT IS OUR RIGHT. POLITICIANS OF ALL POLITICAL PARTIES HAVE LET THE COUNTRY DOWN FOR SO LONG. POVERTY HAS RISEN CATASTROPHICALLY AND MOST CHILDREN REMAIN UNEDUCATED. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR THEM? THIS IS NOT OUR DESTINY.
CHANGE BECKONS. WE HAVE BEEN QUIET FOR SO?..LONG. NOW, WE HAVE TO ACT. LET?S ASK THE LORD FOR GUIDANCE AND ACT UPON IT!
REGARDS,
MILTON MARGAI
HUMBLE SIERRA LEONEAN.
