 9th of December is International Anti-Corruption Day.

This may be funny, but there is need to think about it and evaluate ourselves.....

Corruption self examination!

- If you usually put more sugar in your tea when in a hotel than you do at home, You're likely to be corrupt?

- If you use more tissue in a public washroom than you do at home, you are a potential thief if given opportunity.

- If you serve yourself more food that you can finish just because someone else is footing the bill, you're greedy.

- If you usually jump queues, you have potential for abusing office if given a powerful position.

- If you are more concerned about knowing someone's surname rather than first name, you're likely to be a tribal bigot. Its even worse when someone tells you their name & then you ask, "which tribe is that?"

- If you usually overlap while in traffic jam or have no regard for traffic lights, then you would easily embezzle public funds if you're given a position at a public office since you hate regulation .

- If you channel waste or dirty water from your compound to a neighbour's compound rather than managing it, you're ill-mannered.

- If you look at this post and wonder whether it was really necessary to talk about these issues; then you are very dishonest and you would easily cover up ills in the society for your own benefit.

Let us try to be people of character wherever we find ourselves. Like they say, integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking!

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors.

You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
