As the saying goes, tough times do not last but only tough people do. Having advanced our democracy, it is vital for us to continue nursing it. Although we are blessed with abundant resources, our future is being raped by hungry people at the ‘top.’
The country is now at the mercy of violent groups who continually instill fear in its citizens and destroy its economy. Corruption and unemployment are on the rise. We need to go back to the drawing board and remember our anthem, ‘‘Oh God of creation, direct our noble course and guide our leaders right. Help our youths the truth to know; in love and honesty to grow and living just and true; great lofty heights attained, to build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.’’
