A Letter To The Older Generation

You went to school on scholarships based on merits and later drove ’tortoise cars’.

Yet you sell the same scholarship to the underserving due to political affiliations.

You drunk honey and milk from the land of your fathers.

Yet unlike Joseph, you failed to store some up for the generation to come.

You call the youth lazy!
But even with over million dollars and the resources you dug a hole instead of building a cathedral.

You tell us to be spiritual!
Yet the best of supposed clergymen and pastors were board of directors to help dig a big pit of hell with the monies of the poor. Is that not a symptom of spiritual constipation?

The site of our galamsey looks like the site of our cathedral, and equally reflect how we think as leaders.

You are scared to retire into misery.
Hence you change your date of birth and fight to elongate your stay in public office and later tell us there is no space for employment.

How many of you have successfully created a working businesses?

Yet you collapse those who try and loot those who want to do what is right.

You have polluted our bodies and poisoned the land. Have you taught about the emergence of cancer and complications of pregnant women who will come into contact with these water bodies?

Children are still sitting under trees and your children are being trained by the finest minds outside the country to come back and rule over us.

Dear Leaders, In the next 20-30 years, remember you will be old and we are the same people who will make decisions on your behalf, I hope you get ready because you will all eat the seeds that you have planted and eat your decisions.

"Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence".- Sheryl Sandberg
