GREAT BRITAIN: WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY TO BE GREAT?

Many British teenagers live on alcohol in Britain.

Frankly speaking, during my primary school education in Africa, I became fascinated with the country called 'Great Britain." Because travelers who have visited that country and those ready to go to London demonstrate certain things that make them elites. 

Truly, one is always given a special welcome, recognition, and attention in Africa when he or she returns from Britain.


When I arrived in Europe in 1986, what I used to read in their newspapers pushed me to find out what events or historical facts made this country be called 'Great Britain. 

Even though there is much crime in Africa, I believe that in Europe, Britain leads to criminal activities. Forgery, scams, falsification of documents and letters with the intention to defraud, credit card fraud, embezzlement, stealing, and rape are what make headlines in Britain.

Many people think the Dutch are stingy, but Britain is number one when it comes to stinginess. The whole world knows about this. They can't even leave a cent or penny behind for a cleaner when they lodge at hotels. 

It was in Northampton, Britain, that I saw two sisters quarreling over a can of Coca-Cola, which I had never witnessed in Africa, a Third World Country. Teenage pregnancy and alcoholism make headlines.

In fashion, Britain. Comes last. Even though they are famous fashion shops, the British dress shabbily. They wore poor, inferior shoes. Obesity is taking its toll on them. 

The police can't handle or cope with the surging waves of crime in the country. Stealing vehicles is on the rise. The country still drives on the wrong side of the road. 

The salary scale for general workers is very low. People rush in and out of underground stations as if the devil is chasing them.

I read recently that British undercover police are allowed to sleep with women they spy on as a source to gather information. Who is the police boss in that country? 

Is that the right way to gather information during an investigation?  To sleep with women as a source for information gathering during an investigation is a crime.

Maybe I'm completely wrong. But I don't see anything great about this country. I believe it's one of the most restless countries to live in the world. Wages are paid weekly, and all bills are paid weekly. 

Many people are roaming roofless, and drug addiction has taken its toll on many. Great Britain? Not at all, it's 'Hell Britain.'

WHO IS A RACIST? EVERY ONE IS A RACIST

An angry policeman shows anger toward a Blackman. 


The Blackman said to the Whiteman that "You are a racist," and the Whiteman also said to the Blackman that "You are a racist." This became more interesting than a common argument.

Nobody is prepared to be called a racist. The question is, who, at all, is a racist? Racism, the claim of superiority of skin against another person, is something that can't be eradicated but can be reduced.

 

When one talks about racism, all attention goes to the Whiteman, because the Whiteman is the one people point fingers at as being racist.

 

Frankly speaking, some Blacks are more racist than the Whiteman. Again, racism is an act that is with everyone.

 

Why do some people hate others because of their sexual preference? Why do people hate other people because of religious preference?

 

The Flemish don't like the Walloons in Belgium. "We don't want them to come and live in our society and ruin our culture."

 

What a racist comment made by a Flemish politician against the Walloons. The Italians hate the Albanians. I don't see this as only discrimination but also racism.

 

The African is accusing the Whiteman of being racist, but when you go to Africa, you will learn how they hate themselves over there.

 

The Yoruba man hates an Igbo man in Nigeria, a Fanti hates an Ashanti in Ghana, a Hutu hates a Tutsi in Rwanda, and a Creole man hates the Temini man in Sierra Leone.

 

If the Africans hate themselves, why then do they accuse the Whiteman of racism? Nobody is racist, or in my opinion, everyone is a racist.

 

If people will understand, respect, and value other people regarding the color of their skin, religion, or sexual preference, the world will be a peaceful place to live. Let God judge, don't judge.

ONCE A MAN, TWICE A CHILD, BUT LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

The beautiful part of being old



One of the wonderful phases of the cycle of life is the arrival of a newborn baby into the world, after a months-long agonizing pregnancy. 


The devoted mother, after labor, sees her wonderful child in her arms and immediately forgets all the pains she passed through. You can hear the baby crying because he/she is hungry.


Looking after the baby becomes the task of her mother, in the morning, afternoon, evening, and at night. The mother can't sleep when the child is sick, making her lose the precious sleep she needs. 

This uneasy task of bringing up a child will go on every day until the child is of age and can take care of herself or himself.

Like every living thing, a human being grows. Year after year, everyone celebrates his or her birthday. Like running water going down the drain, everyone becomes old without thinking of how fast the years are going by. 

Old age is a difficult part of life that many fear. Loneliness, insecurity, and neglect are some of the issues that worry many old age people, even when there are homes or families to take care of them.

A man continues to grow and at a certain age, becomes like a child once again in his feeding and cleaning of himself. He starts acting like a child, sometimes crying and complaining about unnecessary things. 

Is it really worth living when you find yourself in this situation? Yes, it's worth living.

Life is more precious than silver and gold. It's worth being in this world to explore, learn, and teach. Many simply don't value life because they fully depend on material things, and when they fail to get it, they become disappointed. 

To be happy in life until old age, people also need to seek the spiritual part of life. It is written, "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven." 

Does this sound stupid? Just give it a try, and you will discover the value of life without a second thought of committing suicide when the going gets tough.
