National Citizens Need To Understand Their Roles (Abdi-Shotaly)
N.B Think Twice Before` Your Conclusion .
Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.
According to the Greeks there are three types of people on earth,
- the idiots,
- the tribesmen, and the citizens.
(1) Studies show only 10% of Somalis are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.
(2) When the Greeks used the word *"idiot"*, they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they write exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.
An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.
According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.
(3) The next set of people are tribesmen, these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.
These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their
tribe.It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will
alienate the rest.
When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they
also consider religion as a tribe. A great percentage of Africans are
tribesmen,because they view everything from their point of view of their
tribes/religion.They trust only their tribesmen!
(4)The last group are citizens.
These are people that like to do things in the right way of their national interest.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.
They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, won’t cheat in exams.
In government they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their wellbeing.
Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group the citizens. Some countries have more
citizens than tribesmen and idiots. Others have so many idiots.A
tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement
of the law.But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to
lead you if he has not been reformed.
So "Where do you belong?"
Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect about your life, your country and Africa in general before you answer.
