Will you make a difference? Vol. 1

The increasing rate of criticism in bars, radio, newspapers and TV stations about government officials and their actions has gaslighted an intrinsic reflection of some individual idiosyncrasy which could be more pugnacious and execrable as compared to the actions of some government officials which they lampoon.

To better participate in this comparative analysis, I beseech you to join me in this reflective journey to the sham realities of our society, which seems to be blinded by the perpetrators who find amusement in castigating every little effort implemented by the government.

A proprietor who receives 300,000 FCFA per pupil/student as fees and pays teachers 50,000 FCFA also complains about the greediness of state officials.

An employer with just 6 workers, who vehemently refuses to pay employees for months, also complains about the inability of the government to pay its employees.

(3) A couple who cheats on another also complains that the government is cheating on its citizens.

(4) A shop, supermarket and restaurant attendant who does not miss any opportunity to increase the prices of goods or reduce the quantity of goods to make extra gains in the absence of the boss also complains of thievery by government officials.

(5) A young lady who gives birth to 4 children with 4 different fathers also complains about the disorganised nature of the government.

(6) A young man or mature man who impregnates a girl and runs away also complains about the irresponsible nature of the government.

(7) A taxi man who sees a missing phone left by his customers and rushes and sells it at Avenue Kennedy or Ancient Troisième also complains about misappropriation by government officials.

(8) A government teacher who abandons his school in Bamenda to teach in private schools in Douala and Yaounde after negotiating with the principal also complains about non-payment or low salaries of teachers by the government.

(9) An educated couple with two female children who end up as hook-up girls also complains of the government's lack of managerial skills.

If you affirm with me that the abovementioned are realities, the question I ask is, can all these people make a difference if given a chance to govern in the public sector?

While I desire you ponder about this, I will leave you with this quotation from Mahatma Gandhi "Be the change you seek in the world.

If you can't govern yourself, your institution and your family,

Then do not expect others to govern a whole nation correctly because they are humans like you.

But the good news is that we can make a change, and that change starts from you reading.
