Establishing A Right Choice of Change

Corruption is seen as the bane of our national development and many would readily blame the government or those in public offices as being responsible for this situation. While not holding brief for public office holders, it’s pertinent to note that every citizen is a stakeholder in the national project and therefore has the responsibility to stem corruption in his or her sphere of influence. All it takes is for you to train yourself to think and act right.

It’s important to understand that when a nation is corrupt, it isn’t just “the government” that’s corrupt, for the government is only a picture or reflection of the people. The government or government officials for example aren’t the ones who vandalize or remove and steal the streetlights in most of our streets or pay teachers to sit for exams on behalf of their children or wards. Each one of us must take responsibilities and necessary action to stop these wrongs. We must realize that it’s as much wrong to destroy infrastructure or facilities that have been provided for the nations good, as it’s wrong to cheat at school exams.

From the top government official to the artisan on the street, we all can make a choice for a change. All you have to do is train yourself to think and act is ways that’ll better the polity. Through God’s Word, you can train yourself to have an excellent mind, because, the wisdom to think and do right is imparted to you in the word. That’s when you find that you’re able to stand out and challenge others around you whose interests, concerns and intents are selfish and inimical to the progress of our country.
