Okunano Voices (Culture Documentaries)

Some of us got up to mischief at times defecating or shitting at the wrong places. ,Nowadays urbanization has enveloped us, crowding our homelands with tenants and strangers. The government presence is been installed all round our communities.  Do we continue to creatively decorate our homelands with shit on the pretext that shit forms the best manure for our farms products?  You may want to agree with me that we have not progressed very much in comparison to our forbearers here.

STATE OF THE NATION: Every Nation is like a motor vehicle conveying the citizens as it would a driver and passengers inside it. The leaders of Nations therefore becomes their drivers.  Drawing from the exact words of Bertrand Russell : When the car will not go, he does not attribute its annoying behavior to sin, he does not say, "You are a wicked motorcar, and I shall not give you any more petrol until you go."  He attempts to find out what is wrong and set it right. Invariably, It becomes the fault of the driver whose impatience has blurred his perception. His car will remain grounded and immovable in one place until the driver calmly detects the fault with it.
