I have learned in the course of this my life that whenever you are somewhere, do the needful and the best you can do but don't failed and regret tomorrow. Again, when someone had opportunity, don't envy the person but work for your opportunity tomorrow.

Gossip and stabbing one at the back is not a good way. You can succeed once, twice, thrice even more but if you are alive a bit longer, you may regrets at least one of these actions bitterly. If you are bold to follow your mind and conviction, you will have a clear conscience even when you are yet to succeed. Yes, there is no perfect person but a community and it people must understand it peculiarity and act well according to the interest of its people. Almost all the people may not see this but do it for tomorrow. Destroying the opportunity today may bring regrets tomorrow.

Whatever is the lessons, Kaani people must learn to use their diversity for the interest of the community and the people therein should be encourage to spread all over and in all phase of positive existence including politics. That someone or a party is not of the interest of an individual or a group should not be imposed on a community. And that if a group within a community is not supporting an individual or party should not be put on an entire community. It is time to understand really that politics is a game of interest which starts from an individual before a community embrace it. And I think the general interest of a community is for development to come, either infrastructural or human capacity. Therefore the interest of a community be seen as community interest not only when it is coming from a particular set in the society but should be seen from general perspectives of community development.

All of those from Kaani in politics, I believe, are working for the interest of Kaani and they should be treated as such. But if an individual refuse to use his or her opportunity in politics, no matter how small, for the benefit of the community, the records will be open one day and he or she has no one to blame. May we all see our opportunities, whenever it comes, as an advantage for the development of our community.

I dwell much on politics here because our people are using it poorly in the recent times. Although there are other areas for community development outside politics. Let us make good use of all of them available to us at the moment. Do laa i doo lo Kaani kiisi!!!

BUA KAANI CARNIVAL COMMITEE PRESENTS AN AWARD OF SERVICE AND HONOUR TO MRS. WAAZOR LEBIA NKEEH.

Different philanthropists have different views about what makes society better off.

One of the things that I think is wonderful about the non-accountability of philanthropy is that it allows for multiple versions of what makes society better off.

Mrs Waazor Lebia Nkeeh is unique in supporting those multiple versions of the good.

Today, The Bua Kaani Carnival Commitee ably led by her President Comr Suanu Tee presented her with award of Service and Honour in Recognition and Appreciations of her Philanthropy And Service To Humanity.

Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others.

In her bid to foster Human capacity building, and to eliminate poverty in the society; in the coming weeks, she will launch a humanitarian's foundation called "COMFORT BARIBIA NKEEH FOUNDATION " a foundation for creating pathways for change.

The spirit of community will be revived as we succeed in devising ways to reinvolve people in solving the perplexing problems they see about them.
