KEEP YOUR CONSCIENCE ALIVE | Stephen Wise

Image
I grew up to unfortunately found myself in a society where men has killed and buried their consciences. We know longer find wrong in things especially when it concerns us. When it benefits us. When it makes us rich. And when we participate in it. I have watched our culture unravel in its addiction to corruption. Our culture has been adulterated that it’s into war with ‘guilt’. The very concept is considered medieval, obsolete, and unproductive. People who trouble themselves with feelings of personal guilt are usually referred to therapists, whose task it is to boost their self-image. No one accept to be guilty. Guilt is not conducive to dignity and self-esteem. Society encourages sin, but it will not tolerate the guilt sin produces. WHAT IS CONSCIENCE? a) Conscience is a person's moral sense of right and wrong that acts as a guide to his/her behavior.

Image
Nigeria's ex-President Muhammadu Buhari passed away in a British hospital last Saturday. It underscores a large problem in Africa: political leaders frequently seek costly medical attention overseas. It ends up costing the government a great deal of money, yet the medical systems back home are not supported much and aren't very good. Numerous African leaders and significant personalities have perished in hospitals outside of Africa. It indicates a significant betrayal of the people and a great error in realizing what is most significant in life. It would be ironic to juxtapose the funds transferred to large hospitals in these nations against the health of the population. For instance, the State House Clinic in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, was established for the medical requirements of the President, the Vice President, their families, as well as government ministers. Between 2015, when Muhammadu Buhari first assumed the Nigerian Presidency, and March 2023, ₦15.24251 billion wa...
