Oh my dear brother toubab,

The man and the lady you mentioned we dishonestly cheated off their sweat.Those who were surposed to pay them for the work they did were dishonest right?This is a basic fact and I belief such are discouraging to many young ones?

Now how about many of our dear young ones who after western education would just sit at home only brewing "attaya" saying they must go to babylon when they don't even have one kobo?Is it not because they feel pride to do certain labour jobs at home to earn them some form of income?And even the lucky ones who made it to either Europe or America,are they not doing some of the jobs they refused back home?Maybe its the value of the money that make the difference but the labour is the same.

All the above comes back to my first point.You see,let us focus on what is the way forward rather than excuses and blame game.Many nations are furging ahead.so are we to wait until it is too late?

What you've just narrated are the kind of things that some of our very few greedy able ones practice that discourage many but should we let them succeed?
