WORKING FOR THE FUTURE WE WILL NEVER SEE


WORKING FOR THE FUTURE WE WILL NEVER SEE
     © 2018      CHIBU NDUBUISI                     30/08/2018    WEEK 35


“Oh, I often sit and ponder when the sun is sinking low, where shall yonder future find me? -- Shall I be among the living? Shall I mingle with the free?
  Jennie Stout

Peace be upon you.
Jonathan Sacks averred that “There are rivers we will not cross, promised lands we will not enter, future we helped shape that we will not live see”. The world of today is not as a result of our singular effort. So much effort were put in by others who never lived to witness the manifestation of their dreams but believed that one day their little efforts would count towards making the world a better place. Hence, the track Heal the World by Michael Jackson, advises us to “

“Heal the world, Make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race”. 


Some missionaries died in Africa as a result of malaria but today their impact on the educational system cannot be downplayed.  Today Malaria will not have easily killed a missionary.  Some parents paid through their nose to give us a better future that will make us live responsibly with each other and contributing positively. Working for the future we will not see is about thinking on a generational timescale.

Abdication of responsibility of the present is not permitted. Tupac Shakur sang in his “Letter 2 My Unborn” that” To my unborn child... in case I don't make it Just remember daddy loves you” .  We equally must be bold and able to say to the future generations in deeds that in case I don’t participate in the future, just know that I played my part in healing a fractured world and contributing to humanity’s progress.

To all of you processing this information today, live responsibly and keep the contributions growing, endevour to end compromises that sabotages the future generations.

Peace be to you.

Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope. By Chibu Ndubuisi

                                                                                      Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope                                           07/08/2017 By Chibu Ndubuisi Peace be with you. In the year 2000, The Economist magazine called Africa "the hopeless continent" hence I am presenting a  narrative of hope about  "Our Rising Africa". The story of Africa is not about hunger,poverty, famine,war,  corruption,  tyranny, dictatorship,  terrorism,  child marriage,  genitial mutiliation, unfavourable inheritance laws for women, advance fee fraud, kidnapping,  ineffectual bureaucracy,  failure of leadership, workers not paid their salaries, sexual offences against children, genocide,  poor infrastructures,  diseases etc.i want to present a narrative of work in progress in African countries and how hope is been given back to people who once had "paradise lost". In their book, Execution: the Discipline of Getting Things Done(2002), aut

RESIST ARREST

                                                        RESIST ARREST                                                   CHIBU NDUBUISI 08/2017 Peace be to you. To resist anything requires knowledge and courage not to give in or yield to antics of entanglement. Captivity stifles and limits.  Captivity is not only when you are holed up in a physical place, it is more than that.  Some have developed  life patterns that resist unhealthy, unproductive and needless distractions which stares at us on a daily basis, by the choices they made, they resisted arrest. while some just flow with the current passively and are arrested by ldeas that have fractured the world.  Eighty two(82) Chibok girls were released from captivity by Boko Haram terrorist organisation in a prisoner swap deal yesterday(7/5/2017). The negotiating teams had a noble obligation of  making sure that no matter the provocations, human life matters.   That human life must be protected and provided for at all cost. They

CURSED OR THE CAUSE.A LESSON IN MISCALCULATION AND MISADVENTURE.   (1) C (2018)                     CHIBU NDUBUISI                           02/04/2018     WEEK 14 “Be careful what you pray for because you may get it and regret”              Peace be upon you. As part of the electioneering jingle repertoire of former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, who kicked off his campaign by waxing philosophical in 2003, by posing two questions to the electorate, he asked; are we Cursed or are we the Curse in Anambra state? Taking into account the plunder and pillage the state has been subjected to by political gladiators with the connections to abduct a sitting Governor (Chris Ngige) and the support of the central government.   For many months, teachers were not paid their salaries during the era of Mbadiniju, who turned from an elected Governor to elected evangelist; he absconded and displayed negligence of the duty of statecraft of fashioning good policies, to declarin
