 our focus should be on taking responsibility. So let's tell about the short story. Once upon a time there lived seven unique and large communities operating independently. As this goes by, the individual leaders in search of survival began to discover resources both natural and human in regions outside theirs. As they gradually approached ngaumini hausinicia kwa higaikisha. Hisha mahenu piha huwa kataka uwa i., hwa uwa chika iwa humumbu-oha wama? Bu замечha hivunku kwa higi naenu manyo, kwa hifu kata mianipilatia, junio inda wukasu ni naenuouga kapha hivunku lazi unatmosa kwa hiba huwunku. which also accommodate others outside their communities. This was the beginning of them living peacefully and stopped depending on the bigger communities for survivor. Meanwhile, they understand jealousy and ensure the build up tight security system through people and weapons. The secret to their success was taking responsibility through conscience. So please, fellow adroke, what do you think? You know, the last time we had our section and we talked about the U.S. African summit and you said something that the president of Ghana has given on a working call to other fellow presidents and other African nations. Imagine the American government. I'm not disputing the facts of the American government. They have the right to believe or put out whatever idea they have to put out. They say they want to partner with Africa to help promote democratic values. But Russia and China also want to partner with Africa. But the American government is saying Russia and China are not interested in values in Africa. They just want to profit. But we, we don't just only want to profit. We also want to insti values. Nobu idea. But guess what? The real people that could insti values are we ourselves. Take responsibility. There's nothing wrong in reaching out or learning from these, these countries that are advanced. But let us always take the bull by the young. 20 to 30 is coming. We are, we are yet to another crossroads again. We are going to make choices that will affect us in the last 4 to 8 years. How prepare that we Nigerians for change. Okay. Michael, what do you think? So take your responsibility is something that no matter how we try to give excuses for our failures and inability to create change. You'll find out that at the end of the day, nothing matters until we have to do what is right. At individual level, you can blame everybody for all you like. Why the reason why you're not excelling the way you should. The reason why your business is not doing so well. The reason why people are not giving you job opportunities and all of that. But at the end of the day, you as a person have to take responsibility for whatever you want to make happen. As a country, we can quote different laws, different theories, how the colonial masters, how the different constitution has kept us where we are. But at the end of the day, if the country is still producing hoi, if the country has foreign reserve, we have what it takes the human capital everything to take our own resources to create the kind of country that we want to live in. It's not so much about what U.S. is offering to give us, what's the what's it called G5 or G20 is willing to give us, is how much are we willing as a country to create the change that we want. Okay, thank you. So I would like to say something right. Refining back to independence, you look at the likes of Sadahona, of Kano, right, Amadu Belu. I listened to one YouTube audio where he said they delayed participating in independent process because they are scared of how the interests of their houses will be protected, right. Now, they are taking responsibility to say what ever comes from this independence, their people interest must be favoured. And they are taking that responsibility, taking that call to say they would get it right. The same thing goes to our law. If you look at the AFRA war, it's still Oduku standing and saying, we have been marginalized. We want to take responsibility to call for what belongs to us. But today, it's far beyond that, it is ashamed that it is individual interest. Corruption has eaten deep to the extent that people negne that what is wrong is wrong. So far you have the opportunity or your person is in government. You feel somebody who is close to you is going into the government. You feel if I support this person, I have the opportunity to also benefit. So it's not about the good dividend of democracy and the same thing you see at the aspect of an Ausa man saying he is going for a tiku, a Yogba man saying he is a Minokon, Tinubu, a Southeast man saying he is Peter Obie. Do you understand? So we are actually not taking responsibility, knowing fully well that if we truly want this country to move, we have to start self-development. Start taking responsibility of every of our actions because I have somebody who is my husband, or who is my brother, who is working at NASMA, doesn't mean I should violate the traffic rules. Do you understand? What is bad is bad. The same thing you talked about exactly, the same thing you talk about the security brutality, the Rafa, police brutality. You see people talking about once you are in police, you can oppress. It is like we don't take responsibility of our actions, we hide, we look at where to hide. And I can tell you, for free, if we are able to take responsibility and we are green, there is nothing, it is probably that cause issue of fetish, somebody is eating you with, doesn't want you to go or stuff like that. When you see people who are taking responsibility, doing due diligence to their work and what have you, they don't even have time. They don't have time to say they want to go and fight Mr. Haye or Mr. Bee because they are also busy, they are occupied. You may mention of Pope resigning because on earth, here is in Nigeria where you will see somebody who know that he is here and he will still be covering up. You will see somebody who, you can see it in Prime Minister of United Kingdom stepping down because you feel I have, I can't handle this thing. This is responsible that is big beyond me. I can't handle it. I am resigning even with mount and stuff like that on the throne. And in Nigeria, you will see somebody who will say this person is corrupt, they are still this and he will say yes, I have studied it. They will still go to the court and they will still win. It is not going investigation, discharge and that's quit it. Or you will say play back in. You know, okay, I am going to pay you this. Let this one go. It is like we are not taking responsibility. So, fellow advocate today, I think we should be moving towards the 2023 election. We should be focusing on taking responsibility. We have to agree either we want to move forward or we want to continue this madness that we call leadership, politics and what have you. Because it's madness. We don't even know what we want. We are just talking about and we are moving individual and individual is like you cannot bring come together. Take responsibility, take charge. Do the right thing. I'll be driven by the right values. Exactly. Maike Oguche is next after the break. Do stay with us.
