Hello Everyone
The "truth" is said to be bitter but i never taste am before, but what the statement is actually saying is the Reacted result i.e the expression after such statement is said to someone.
Another mysterious thing about the "truth" is that it sets one FREE..
What i will like to discuss with us within the next few weeks will be based simply on the "truth" .Its High time we Nigerians Knew the TRUTH, cos it will set us free...
1. The Media Houses
In the developed countries, media houses are fully owned and managed by citizens of the country, individuals and their dealings also is determined by the people and not the government. The fact is, if the media houses are owned by people and not government, there would be freedom of expression, a true democratic government should not only have the Freedom of speech, Freedom of expression should be inclusive and one of the foremost and better ways of expressing that freedom is via the media. Permit me to use the foolowing language because this issue has passed the normal english "na Who go alow person spoil them show?" thats the way the government sees it if full authority is given to the citizens over the media house.
Many if not most medias are very cautious about the news given to the public concerning the economy, i won't blame them, why? AIT is an example for other media house.... The government knows that if citizens are allowed to know the truth ther would be uproar, lets not be deceived about the wide and variety of news we think these media houses are given to us if they ar allowed to give us the real KOKO like Dbanj says, then we will indeed be free....
We might ask ourselves that, even if we know the truth what can we do? Thats the african way of thinking, first strife to know the truth then we can move to the next step....
2 Education:First i'll like to challenge every Nigerian and African thinking today, often, when education is mentioned our thinking is proccessed in a steriotype way. what do i mean? we see education only in the aspect of Academics, which should not academics is part of education.....
People this is enough for today, i'll continue next time from Number 2....
Ponder on this short story...
Tzeki was told by his teacher in his High School/Secondary School that he was a poor specimen, and could not amount to anything, the teacher emphasized that his inteligent quotient(IQ) was at minimal, he accepted what he was told. To him it was the truth, so he lived decades believing he had a minimal IQ and never applied for a JobAbove the level he felt he had?
to his greatest suprise a test was performed for a group of people and it was found that he had over 20x IQ level than the others, infact the company told him, no one ever employed in the company had such percentage of IQ... After that day his status about himself changed. why? because he found out the real truth about himself....
The truth definitely shappens our perception about ourselves, which is a very powerful tool...
Have a lovely week....
