Infrastructural
development eradicates superstitious beliefs. Because development breaks strong
holds of underdevelopment. For instance, if we go to our community sink bore
hole, renovate and upgrade community schools, folks are going to be inspired, motivated
and aspire to go higher. By @WPPraise
Success is attractive. We all get attracted to good news;
it lights up our day and makes living beautiful and attractive.
Evil is distraction. It weakens and depresses minds.
Underdevelopment is unattractive. It produces
hopelessness and discouragement. You see, folks fear change and resist change
although they talk about change a lot but only few are ready for change.
In a nutshell, development is progressive and changes undecided minds to
embrace progressive ideology. Right now in Esanland/Nigeria, fear is been
propagated while progressive ideology is been resisted. Whereas, “Whatever you fear most has no power-it is your fear that has the
power” Oprah
Some of us fear too much. We fear rain we fear sunshine. When our own
shadow is cast by our walking, we are afraid. We fear rodent scavenging for food; we fear
repeated failures without making effort to correct our wrongs.
We fear to live we fear to die. Yet we want to go to
paradise. That’s why in living in fear we live less and less and become underproductive. We produce less and less and become less.
We fear to change yet we want change. We say we believe in God but we
live in perpetual fear and pray in fear, prayer that never pass through ceiling because
we are fearful of things that will never happen to us. We quote “If God be for
us who can be against us”. Yet, we still live in perpetual fear because our
minds is twisted by hard core traditional superstitious beliefs.
Remember, whatever you fear most has no power-it is your fear that has the power. As a matter of
fact, what we fear most is ineffective except we live and believe in fear.

How do we
disengage the minds of the fearful from living in fear? You can read my piece “Stop Giving Your Power Away”. STOP GIVING YOUR POWER AWAY
I will
encourage you-Esanland/Nigeria, religious institutions, corporate private
sector to develop the habit of giving back to communities – all progressives
minds to engage in social community projects e.g.
2. Building of clinics
3. Provisions of food to the needing in our communities
4. Helping the elderly
5. volunteering at public library to help stock book shelf
6. Cleaning of public parks
7. Forming community groups to clean up the environment- beaches Public parks, clean up polluted rivers, illegal dumping of refuse
8. Help stop illegal wood logging by educating communities with better practice of earning a living and also preserving the forest for future generation.
10. Development of community centres etc

pride for your country should not come after your country becomes great; your
