After 60+ years of self-rule, it’s a shame we still resort to begging
Six decades after independence, is it fathomable that we should still be asking people with less natural endowments to help us feed, clothe, house and educate our people?
If you have a son, would you like him to grow into a man who begs from the neighbours to feed his family? Hopefully not.
If as an adult you seek material support from friends and even enemies, there could be an explanation for your economic or attitudinal challenges. Maybe you are physically disabled, or you think your stepmother bewitched you. But whatever you attribute your wretchedness to, your son shouldn’t end up in such indignity of begging to feed his children and clothe his wife.
