Work for development and not rewards

Social ills will never be eradicated unless people willingly change and work for transformation. Our patriots and heroes are not where they are because of any dictatorship. They are there because they resolved, within themselves, to take a bold stand.

Our government is trying its best to help the people, but an evil called laziness has destabilised progress. People are too lazy to think or apply logic to improve their lives.

All they want are handouts, grants and charity. They should work for change without expecting rewards, but for the sake of progress and development.
