WELCOME TO THE FINAL LAP

So on 1st January resolutions were made, targets set and action plans mapped out. I know the resolutions turned into a politician's promises before the end of the year's first week. Some survived the first month. While some got missing with our national budget discovered but with bloated figures.
Yes, it is true that the government has made us to believe that the foreign reserve is fast running empty but our resolves for self development shouldn't follow suit too. 

It is 1st June, the dividing line of 12 Gregorian months. So we are all halfway up or halfway down. Again being either depends on our resolve.
It is not easy to write these days without saying a little thing about the economy; the economy of the nation and the dryness of many pockets. What makes it worse is than the man in charge of our banker's bank threatens us with RECESSION.

But we will certainly emerge victorious. Who is RECESSION by the way? We survived a civil war. We survived a looting BABAGINDA, murderous ABACHA, power-thirsty ABIOLA, undemocratic OBASANJO, indecisive and weak JONATHAN. Not enough? They restarted the same system again with a man who led a coup against the rule of law and of course, it's not rocket science he's at it again. Our dear SUBSIDY has been removed too. Yes it may be wise but wiser is the fact that we operate a very cost-ineffective style of government. That should be removed.

But we are obedient to Hooke's law of elasticity. We return to our original shape and length after expansion. But still just as Hooke's law stipulated, we might be stretched one day beyond elasticity. Then we will yield and further to a breaking point. In those days, the Poor man and the hungry will have only the rich to feed on. And it would definitely be a delicious desert.
But before then, self development is advised.

It's June, let's make the other half of the year count.

HAPPY NEW MONTH COMMON MEN
(For God so love the common men, He created many of us).
