DEVIL IS NOT TO BE BLAMED
Any nation whose citizens usually blame every misfortune (including problems traceable to deliberate refusal to always do the necessary) on forces of darkness or foreign influence, don't record outstanding advancement. This is the main reason some third world countries are still backward.
When citizens of any nation don't value relevant knowledge and are unyielding to how well everything should be done, they don't birth the spectacular, individually and collectively.
Devil is known to be the author of every evil but he is not responsible for all evil acts of mankind and all the challenges/sufferings of every person/country. Self inflicted woes are in no way traceable to devil.
People are responsible for their own evil deeds and the consequences. Every individual have his own mind to himself and can do and undo as he wishes.
Corruption and artificial hardship wouldn't have been a stronghold anywhere if the people in question are well meaning and patriotic. Is it not people that decided to become fraudsters and looters or is it devil that loots public treasury? Spirits don't mismanage or embezzle public fund; only human beings are capable of mismanagement and embezzlement.
When you refused to do the right things, you make wrong things happen. Both the deed and the repercussions are your own making, not devil or someone else - even if the idea is/was given to you by another person. All fingers point at me/you/us for my/your/our wrong deeds and their penalties.
This calls for everyone everywhere to be realistic, reasonable, logical, thoughtful and responsible about/for the things they have made and consequently be spurred to align with how things should be made.
Devil don't loot treasury, people do.
Devil don't give or collect bribe, people do.
Devil don't manipulate electoral processes, people do.
Devil don't form terrorist groups, people do.
Devil don't rape people, people rape people.
Devil don't kidnap anybody, people kidnap people.
Devil don't poison people's foods, people poison people's foods.
Devil don't indulge in laziness, people do.
Devil don't produce or sell fake and expired products, people do.
Devil don't indulge in forgery and examination malpractices, people do.
Devil don't dress provocatively or indecently, people do.
Devil don't abuse liquor, drugs or substance; people do.
Devil don't rebel or disobey constituted authority and divine order of countries, people do.
Devil don't perpetrate racism, tribalism, favouritism, favouritism, Nepotism and vandalism; people do.
Devil don't perform ritual murder; people sacrifice fellow human beings for power, fame, wealth and whatever quest.
Devil is not to be blamed for human wickedness and cruelty; it is people that do wickedly against people.
Be careful about any spirit you give a chance to possess you.
When a thief or corrupt person or any criminal is nabbed and proved guilty in the court of law; he is the only one (not devil or demon) that faces the penalty though he or his sympathisers may claim it is the handiwork of devil or demons or evil spirits. Should he be sentenced to life imprisonment or death; he goes there all alone. Devil or spirits don't stay behind bars nor can either be sent to gallows. Only the person that eat sour grape have his teeth set on edge it doesn't matter who give him the grape.
Be thoughtful before you do anything lest you blame your error on the influence of devil or demons or spirits or people.
By now you would understand that you are responsible for the impact of your negative actions on your life and society. This would help you to put your life in the right perspective not to be found wanting because devil is not to be blamed for your lapses.
A people who do not understand that devil is not to be blamed for their bad, won't be spurred to change their conducts to achieve the best.
Devil or demons are not voters nor does either occupy any electoral offices. When bad people are voted to power, devil is not to be blamed.
People make policies. Wrong policy/bill passed into law with its negative result, is caused by people in charge and devil is not to be blamed.
How an individual or members of a community chose to coordinate their personal and collective affairs is a big deal. Wherever falsehood, injustice, bribery and corruption or any malpractice is/are made adopted norms need no enemies' attack to be destroyed having fallen to self orchestrated downfall. No weapon of warfare does work of massive destruction of a person/people as ignorance (lack of relevant knowledge) and wrong doings.

EFFECT AT HOME THE BEST OBTAINABLE ELSEWHERE
Good leaders unhesitantly take the challenge to make sure the best life achievable anywhere is also possible in their own communities/nations. Whenever they are opportune to go elsewhere, they keenly observe how things run and take note of whatever is worthwhile that is missing in their own place so they could reproduce the same back at home.
Only bad leaders travel the whole world solely for personal pleasure without being inspired by the excellence of their host nations to ensure their own nations are also built up and measure up to excellent standard. Since they are not interested in the prosperity of their own people; the enjoyment and wonderful experiences they often have in those well organised, well governed, well developed and well secured places don't provoke reflections and thoughtfulness in their hearts to take initiatives for reproducing the same at home.
To worsen the case, instead of taking efforts required to make their homeland a good place to be for people all over; their usual practice is to relocate their own children to those successful nations (under the pretext of security reasons) not minding what becomes of those left behind.
It is not of good leaders to shut their minds against taking clue at the wellness of others to effect the same in the lives of their own people.
Never hesitate to judiciously effect in your life the good you see in others. Never hesitate to make possible in your own country the best life achievable anywhere.
Attempts to build our lives as individuals without building the societies wherein we live or hailed from render us uncompleted.
Development and under development of any nation are deliberate and intentional acts of/by the stakeholders and the rest citizens.
#Pepperish-Food-For-Thought for all national stakeholders across the world especially, leaders and citizens of under developed and developing nations.

STILL ON THIS CHANGE
The subject CHANGE is among the most talked about topics across the world as people often desire change in their; personal lives, organisations, communities and the world at large.
My nation is on this journey for quite a while which has generated a lot of concern from different quarters leaving most people in doubt of its much expected reality.
But it seemed many people don't know that change is not automatic in any setting; it requires relevant mind renewal by everyone expecting or promising change.
Each person's life goes in the direction of his mindset. Likewise, the direction of every nation is determined by the thinking pattern of the citizens.
People don't act in a certain way until they begin to think in that particular way.
Corruption would always prevail as long people fixed their minds on corrupt practices.
Changes of government and changes of policies don't usually change anything anywhere but change of orientation and attitude in the right direction usually do.
If vast majority of citizens are yet to make up their minds not to indulge in criminality, violence and insecurity; there is limit to what security operatives can do to secure the society - especially when security officers are also liable to questionable practices.
Irrespective of measures put in place by government to curb poverty, until those concerned take responsibility to build capacity for productivity and resourcefulness - they continue to live in penury.
Imagine some able bodied individuals becoming career beggars while some people with profound disabilities (excusable from economic activities) refused to give up on themselves but chose to succeed thereby, proved to the world that disability is not a legal licence to be a liability.
What made the difference between the 2 groups is all about their thinking pattern.
Things change when we think change and become the change. Only changed minds change lives and communities.

POSITION YOUR SKILLS AND SERVICES FOR BETTER PATRONAGE
What do you know? What do you do? How good are you at what you do? Are you well positioned to be patronised for your services? How many people know you for your knowledge, services and expertise?
If you don't have a work/skill or you are not an expert in your field or you are not known for excellent service delivery; you have limited your reach, productivity and earning capacity.
Why?
You stand a chance to be patronised for only what you are good at and well known for.
Whatever is of great benefit to people that you have mastered becomes your channel of exchange of value for value. People patronise you for solutions you provides and pay for your services.
Nobody ever take his faulty vehicle to a butcher for repair because the butcher is known for selling meat not car repairs. We rarely attract opportunities outside the confine of our skills and services we render.
This is the more reason for all of us to; have relevant skills, position ourselves for maximum patronage, continually sharpen those skills and be at peak performances in the delivery of our services.
If you faithfully do this, you would be rest assured of always smiling to the bank.

LAZINESS REQUIRES GUT
He who could dare to be lazy is very brave, he only need to redirect his bravery to be hard-working.
Why did I say so?
Nothing could be very demanding, difficult, risky, unprofitable, wasteful and painful like laziness. Imagine the repercussions among which are: poverty, limitation, shame and regret.
'Truth bi say person wey bi lazy and fit face the gbege get liver o. Him wey no get mind no fit try am. For where, I no get that kind mind!' I put that statement in Nigerian Pidgin which rightly means: Of a truth, whoever chose to be lazy and stand to bear it's consequences have gut. Someone that is not rugged cannot try it. No way, I don't have the mind!
The price and result of laziness which is the mother of failure far outweighs the price and reward of hard work or diligence. Diligence does not cost a thing and pay off while laziness costs so much and pays nothing.
Laziness requires gut. If you can dare to be lazy, you can dare to be up and doing. Why pay so much to lose so much? Instead, pay necessary price and gain so much more. It is not wise to invest your energy and time on what profit little or nothing.
Mind you, laziness is very subtle and many people are very lazy without knowing it.
A person is not just lazy by doing nothing. Numerous people are always busy yet very lazy and I called them 'strategic lazy people' making them 'invalid busy people'. They usually major in their minor and minor in their major. They are very busy at doing what profit little or nothing.
Refusal to do what is needful as at when due is a full display of laziness. When things of lesser or no value and necessity gain your earnest devotion leaving highly important things unattended to, you are lazy.
