Do you know?
That in those days, when a child goes to a provision store to buy a
thing with one naira in his hand, the owner of the shop will enquire of their
house and will leave the shop in the care of a neighbor and follow the child
home, ask questions to find out if truly that one naira belonged to the child
or not.
It is amazing how fast our morals have eroded and affected everything
we do. Imagine now a primary school child goes to buy some stuff from the
provision store with not just one thousand (N1,000.00) but from a bunch in his
pocket! The question is, can the shop owner query that pupil? Indeed, our
values have eroded living us only with shadows. Why are we bringing this?
Yesterday can never be greater than today. Where yesterday becomes greater than
today, there’s bound to be a great problem which may lead to disaster. God
speaking saying, “Remember not the former things neither consider the things of old.”
This means today and tomorrow are far better than yesterday. Yea, I have heard
the word ‘good old days!’ There should be nothing like good old days because
once it is gone, it is gone for good and you have today to live your live to the
best and expect tomorrow to be better than today. This is how life should be.
You only need to remember the past for reference purposes, and that is why we
are talking about this.
However, there are certain things we were doing before which we are no
more doing and would wish them to come back to our lives. One of such is ‘our
values.’ Which we left behind. Honestly, when I think about those days of
honestly, I wish and pray that those days come back to us; but the days are
gone for good, it is what we make of today that matters and it is up to us.
When we are determined to do what is right, we can do it, It all
depends on us as a people. It is important for parents to inculcate this in
their children, the story need to be told. Everybody must play his or her role
and gradually, we would get there.
