Never thought I would see the day
When my dark life would walk away
Somehow I knew there was a day
That the sun would shine its bright ray

Never thought I would start new page
Thought the story would end in rage
Here I am in a new chapter
Living a brand new character

A pilot was told to transfer ma.d pe0ple from Nigeria 🇳🇬 to U.S.A. 🇺🇸He agreed and carried them into his plane🙂. Every place was noisy. Later one of the maad men approached the pilot and said to him “please teach me how to fly the aeroplane?The pilot replied, I will teach you how to fly it if you will tell your friends to stop making noise.😒

The maad man went in, after some minutes, everywhere was silent as if an angel entered the plane.😌 After some minutes the ma.d man came back and told the pilot that everywhere was cool now. The pilot became happy and asked what did you tell them that made them calm.The maad man replied, I opened the door for them to go and play outside.

The pilot fain*ted 🤣🤣🤣😂

"Attitude Matters: A Call for Change"

Graduating from a college or university is a significant achievement, but it is our attitude that truly matters in a competitive world. Unfortunately, in today's society, we witness a disheartening trend where many graduates with impressive degrees and diplomas struggle to find employment. While it is easy to place blame on the government for a lack of job opportunities, we must not overlook the importance of personal attitudes and their impact on employability.

Papua New Guinea is indeed a developing country with numerous multimillion-dollar companies operating within its borders. Opportunities abound for graduates to tap into after completing their studies. However, the main hindrance for many lies within their attitudes. We must remember that companies exist to make a profit, and thus, they seek employees whose attitudes align with the qualifications they possess. If our attitudes do not reflect the knowledge and skills we acquired from our educational institutions, we will continue to face unemployment.

It is disheartening when companies opt to bring in talent from overseas or other parts of the world because they fear the consequences of hiring individuals with poor attitudes. These decisions are not a result of the government's negligence; rather, they are a precautionary measure taken by companies to safeguard their operations. Therefore, instead of blaming the government, we must collectively work on cultivating better attitudes and acknowledging their significance.

Today, during the graduation ceremony at The Papua New Guinea University of Technology in Lae, a disappointing incident occurred. Graduands vacated the hall in the middle of the program, leaving the guests on stage ready to deliver their important speeches. The attached photo depicts an empty graduation hall, serving as a clear indication of the prevalent attitude problems amongst students. Such actions are a reflection of who we are as individuals, and it is essential that we address these issues if we wish to succeed.

Papua New Guinea, as a nation, relies on individuals who display not only knowledge and skills but also a good sense of humor and dedication to service. It is these attributes that will set us apart and pave the way for employment opportunities. Let us work together to not let our attitude problems overshadow the value of our degree papers. Only then can we truly thrive in this competitive world.

Honestly, it is disheartening to acknowledge that many MPs, including Ministers and even the Prime Minister, seem to prioritize their own selfish interests over the needs of the people. They have shamelessly prospered by engaging in corrupt deals with contractors, using public funds to fund lavish lifestyles and build personal empires.

Take, for example, the mind-boggling case of K350 million being allocated to build ten houses for the police force. How is it possible that such a project could demand such an exorbitant amount? The answer is evident: the MP in charge is likely diverting over half of that money into his own secret accounts through underhanded agreements with the contractor.

This practice of channeling funds into contractors' accounts under the guise of project financing, only to retrieve them illicitly for personal gain, is becoming a widespread trend among our MPs. And it is not just limited to this particular case; it has turned into a convenient technique for our politicians to evade accountability for misusing public funds. Consequently, many MPs have amassed inexplicable fortunes, leaving us questioning their sudden wealth. As an Australian once astutely noted, "if you want to become an overnight millionaire in PNG, you must become an MP." Sadly, this statement rings true, as most MPs have built their empires at the expense of the hard-earned money of the people they were elected to serve.

It is high time that organizations such as the Ombudsman Commission and other potential bodies conduct an independent commission of inquiry into these significant sums of money being deposited into contractors' accounts for projects that should not demand such excessive funding. This investigation is essential to expose the hidden dealings and bring justice to those who have brazenly profited from the misappropriation of public funds.

I feel compelled to share this message on Facebook and shed light on the rampant corruption plaguing our political system. It is our duty as concerned citizens to demand transparency, accountability, and a government that truly serves the people. Together, we can strive for a brighter future where the interests of the public take precedence over personal gain.

Don't envy!

• Someone graduated at the age of 22, but waited 5 years before securing a good job.

• Someone became a CEO at 25, and died at 50.

• While another became a CEO at 50, and lived to 90 years.

• Someone is still single, while someone from his school group has become grandfather.

• Obama retired at 55 & Trump started at 70.

• Everyone in this world works based on their time zone.

• People around you might seem ahead of you & some might seem to be behind you.

• But everyone is running their own race, in their own time.

• Do not envy them.

• They are in their time zone, and you are in yours.

So, relax.

You're not late.
You're not early.
You are very much on time.

"It is truly disheartening to witness adults at the age of 40 engaging in criminal activities. These individuals, who should be role models in their communities, are instead involved in illegal actions. It is a disgrace! They ought to receive life sentences for their crimes.

As grown-ups, they should be leading the way towards prosperity and self-reliance for their communities. Being unemployed in the private or public sector does not give them the right to resort to theft and robbery.

There are alternative ways to make a living, such as selling betel, ci******es, or other products. People in towns and cities manage to survive by setting up tables and engaging in legitimate businesses. However, resorting to threatening and robbing others is not only immoral but also an ineffective way to sustain oneself.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the diligent law enforcement officials who apprehend these culprits. These criminals deserve life imprisonment, or perhaps even the loss of their mobility if it serves as a deterrent.

Port Moresby, our nation's capital, should be a safe haven for all its citizens—men, women, and children. It must not be a breeding ground for criminals.

We urge everyone to join hands in creating a safer and more secure environment in our beloved city. Let's work together to make Port Moresby a place worth living in for all."

Papua New Guinea, our beloved country, is renowned as a Christian nation in the Pacific. Our constitution is built on the solid foundation of both traditional Papua New Guinean culture and Christian principles. We proudly worship a living God who is the creator of the Heavens and the Earth.

Sadly, it seems that these values have gradually been forgotten, and our nation is now at risk due to the actions of a few individuals who choose to behave in a manner that is completely contrary to the teachings of the Holy Bible.

The attached photos display two individuals engaged in a homosexual relationship, involving explicit acts and photography. We must ask ourselves, where are we headed?

Such actions, influenced by a sick state of mind, bring us closer to the depths of hell and the approaching end times. We implore the government of Papua New Guinea to step forward and take appropriate action against these culprits.

It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the untimely passing of Mark Sakol, a true legend in the education system. His death today at 3 am (27th March 2024) is a devastating blow to Enga's educated community.

As the Head of Wabag Primary School, he set a remarkable example and inspired fellow teachers in the province. His dedication and passion towards his profession made him a role model for many.

Originally from Madang province, Mark Sakol chose to make Enga his home after his graduation. He not only fell in love with the place but also found his life partner here. For 40 consecutive years, he selflessly served the people of Enga, leaving a lasting impact on generations of students and educators.

"Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a little gem I discovered recently - the picturesque Tambul Valley in Western Highlands province. This place is straight out of a fairytale, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and frosty weather. No wonder it's fondly called 'Tambul Ice'!

But wait, there's more! The Tambul Valley is a hub of fresh produces, with potatoes, broccoli, and carrots reigning supreme. These are not your usual supermarket veggies; they grow wild and vibrant here, thanks to the valley's fertile soil and the hard work of our local farmers.

During my visit, I had the pleasure of meeting some of the amazing mothers from Tambul at the Station Market. Picture this: rows of colorful stands showcasing their bounty of fresh produce. From the humble potato to the crunchy broccoli and sweet carrots, everything looked so enticing!

So, next time you're in the vicinity, make sure to swing by the Tambul Station Market and support these hardworking mothers. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with their farm-fresh goodies! Let's give a shoutout to the 'Tambul Ice' and its dedicated growers. Share your love for this beautiful valley and its incredible produce.
Happy eating, everyone! 🌱🌽🥦🥕

📢 Attention everyone! 📢

I would like to take this opportunity to share an observation I made recently, concerning the admirable actions of Hon. Allan Bird, the alternate Prime Minister and Governor for East Sepik. Fondly known as Big Bird, he was spotted in a state of calm and relaxation, taking time out to interact with the local community while on his way to the Wewak terminal for his flight to Port Moresby. The fact that he even posed for photos with the people shows his genuine connection and concern for their well-being.

However, what struck me as remarkable was the lack of a heavy police es**rt accompanying Big Bird during his journey to Boram Airport. Unlike their counterparts in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, who often travel with a fleet of police vehicles, this Coastal MP and Governor seemed at ease with just his driver.

This observation raises an important question: Why do our Highlands MPs and Governors require such costly security measures, while their Coastal counterparts can travel with less fuss? Are they implying that our Highlands leaders are thieves, in constant need of protection? Or are the Coastal MPs and Governors displaying a sense of selfishness, neglecting the security concerns that their peers face?

This situation demands our attention and deep reflection. Let us consider the implications and ponder the reasons behind this stark contrast. As concerned citizens, it is important to raise awareness and engage in dialogue to find meaningful answers.

Please feel free to share your thoughts, as we strive to promote accountability, transparency, and unity within our beloved Papua New Guinea.

Consistency is a powerful force that can shape our lives and propel us towards self-development and personal growth. It is the unwavering commitment to a set of actions or habits, executed with discipline and determination, day after day, week after week, and month after month.

The power of consistency lies in its ability to compound small efforts over time, gradually building upon each action and creating a compounding effect that can lead to remarkable results. Just as a single drop of water may seem insignificant, but when combined with countless others, it can form a mighty river, consistency transforms seemingly inconsequential actions into profound transformations.

In the bustling city of innovation, where ideas collide and creativity flourishes, there lived a young entrepreneur named Alex. With a vision to transform the tech landscape, Alex embarked on a journey to launch a groundbreaking app. However, the path to success was laden with challenges, misunderstandings, and assumptions.

One day, Alex overheard a conversation among team members expressing doubts about the app's core feature. Instead of jumping to conclusions, Alex decided to foster an environment of openness and curiosity. The following day, a team meeting was called, not to reprimand but to inquire and understand.

"Let's explore together," Alex began, "What are your concerns with the current feature? How can we improve?" The room, initially tense, slowly transformed into a hub of vibrant discussion, with team members sharing insights, perspectives, and creative solutions. The outcome was not just a refined feature but a team more united and engaged than ever.

This story of Alex is a testament to the power of a questioning attitude. It's a reminder that what we assume is often a narrow slice of reality. By asking questions, we open doors to new possibilities, foster collaboration, and pave the way for innovation.

In our professional lives, let's choose curiosity over certainty, dialogue over dismissal. Let's remember that the most potent solutions emerge from understanding the full story, not just the chapters we assume to be true.
