The faults of the nation

[Agbamoni]

Everyone is to be blamed for the faults of the nation. Before the President and other representatives came into office, they were once citizens with ambition and ideas to make the world a better place. But the moment they went into power, things changed. As I tell my brother, anyone would change if power were given to them. You see those making many promises, they are the worst of them all. This leads us back to the truth that citizens are to be blamed. Without government intervention, we, the citizens, can make the world a better place.

In political study it's said that power corrupt but absolute power corrupts absolutely. Many political leaders are behaving autocratic with the power they were collectively given by the people through elective means. And the citizens on one hand are too complacent and weak to revolt against corrupt government to bring about the better changes  they desire. Politicians shouldn't be trusted by words but by their actions but in modern society it seems the citizens have become more stupid than in ages past, they fear to speak and take action against a bad government but just seat with folded hands bearing the pains and hardship.

I disagree with the saying that before someone becomes a president and other representatives came to office,  they where citizens filled with ambitions to make the world a better place,  it is not all that believes in positive things rather some are only interested in power. Everybody on earth has there own ambitions either to make the world a better place or to destroy the efforts of other's by creating a name for themselves  in anyway they can.
The world is in a mess today all because of some leaders with some myopic mindsets especially a mindset surrounded by greed and selfishness thereby propelling there actions towards doing anything humanly possible to achieve there dreams

That's true, everyone has their interest at hand, some one just say positive things as a political strategy to win the heart of the masses but change totally when power is gotten. Anyone is prone to change when given power but not everyone abuses power, some still put the interest of the citizens first before their's and that's how it should be.

 The world would be a better place when more leaders start putting the interest of their people at heart especially in Africa where many leaders are selfish, greedy and power drunk and it's becoming a norm cause many people now see politics and positions of leadership as a means of maintaining financial freedom instead of serving the masses.

I do not believe that one party should be scapegoated for a country's problems. There are instances of poor governing, systematic corruption, weak state institutions, and the burdens of history that are practically beyond the control of the average citizen. People are however, able to motivate change through increased awareness, voting, protesting, and social pressure.

The reality is that the masses are not completely guilty and are not completely without guilt either. The system and the masses influence one another positively. Where there is greater awareness and organization among people, there is a greater potential for change. Where there is a greater presence of fear, poverty, or a shortage of information, there is a greater presence of prolonged suffering.

Is the masses the fault of the nation as in the reason behind bad conditionings (inhumanities)?
If not, how are they not the faults of their nation?
If they are, how do you think they're actually the faults of their nation?

The masses are not the fault of their nation neither are they the reason for the way their government has gone bad. They are not the government or those in high places or parliament nor those who formulate policies or make laws. Policy making is what either better a nation or put it in bad shape. In policy, there is also penalty for offenders. What the question is, is what happens to offenders of laws and most culprits to laws are policy makers who see theirselves as bigger than the law.

Although, some masses are accomplice to the bad leadership in rigging elections for the politicians but they are few. The solution for the change is to have a peaceful revolution if possible.

The fault of every nation is that the people of the nations do not attempt to recognize God Almighty, the Inventor, Creator, and Maker of all things.

Scientists try to find out how and why things work the way they do. Things work because the science of God makes them work in ways beyond understanding. The only way to have success is to use the God-science that is in us, which we don't understand, to attempt to find God in our lives.

The best understanding of what happen to nations when they don't seek God to obey Him, is found in the Old Testament of the Bible. Ancient Israel was the nation that God, Himself, 'planted', with the offer to keep them strong, if they obeyed and worshiped Him. But they failed at times, succeeded at times, over and over, until they failed permanently by rejected His Son, Jesus. The whole Bible shows us this.

Note that the current Israel at the East end of the Mediterranean Sea is not the Ancien Israel of God. A good explanation of this is found at, “Hey Man, What’s Zionism?”

Get into the Bible, obey God, ask Bible scholars any questions (Protestant pastors, especially), and do this nationally, outwardly, and professionally, but also individually, and have successful nation. It's the only way.

It is very easy and simple to quickly point accusing fingers at the leaders in power until one gets elected into power and starts behaving thesame way he had accused his predecessor of. Everyone is at fault when a nation faces serious economic and political problems. When corruption is the major challenge, it is not only the political leaders that are involved, every citizen at different levels have been involved either through bribery, nepotism, favoritism and in being apolitical. The earlier everyone realises that they are at fault, they will change their mindset towards their nation and work towards building it in unity.

Time to recognize that elected people are not the real leaders in power. The real leaders are the money people who became rich by stealing from the peons. How Israel Hijacks Politicians in America.

Political promises are sweet --- before officials become president they will give sweet wishful thinking to their citizens by occupying promises and solutions for the country especially reducing poverty and employment solutions once they become president often political campaign promises are ignored and they are too ambitious with their own plans without happy citizens.

I don't know if all citizens are to blame? During political campaigns people say it's a democratic party and everyone celebrates their respective presidential candidates, and the behavior of citizens will be caught when officials or presidents do not fulfill their promises.

What if the masses are actually their own cause of governmental problem because the question is that how leaders get into the position they are, of course the masses so if they did not care to no whom they're voting they are obviously given powered to the people that would corrupt their system and were politice and power is unstoppable is how they would become the way or means anybody would go through before becoming a leader after them, actually in my country there was a time we could vote and they call the winner from the vote so actually that should have been the time when everybody would have voted on who is right and create leaders who would give us good government than using because of what they gave them to create the bad government we have today so actually the masses masterminded a lot of things they did not no would come back for them.

So we can all agree that most rulers autocrats in nature, hiding behind the idea of the electoral process - Democracy.
I understand why people no longer think of revolting against the government like it was done in the past. I think it is because we are too soft, and the government has held us captive with the difficulties they have brought upon the nation. A hungry man cannot fight. A sick man cannot come out to protest. If you go around your vicinity, you will understand that everyone is going through one problem or another. If everything is okay, we will have the time to fight against the bad government, but we can't when we are handicapped.

What do you think is the actual fault of any nation under any bad conditions?
The conditions of some nations by conditioners are so bad that bad governance is almost already a standard. Whereas in some nations these bad conditions is not any where close to being a standard but momentary and deserve management, these are nations that enjoys all humanity oriented conditionings possible.

The most responsible for the bad condition of a country is the ruling class and then the people of the country. If the ruler is not good, then the people of that country will not be good. The corruption of that country will never decrease. Again, if the ruler is good but the people cannot be good, then the country will not be able to move forward because the government of a country is run by the common people of that country. Moreover, the responsibility of electing a good ruler is generally in the hands of the common people by electing vote. Only when both parties are united and focused on building the country, then that country can be good. Though in some countries, the country cannot move forward due to various reasons including natural disasters. But, in most cases, if the ruler and the common people are honest, then that country will be in a good position.

That of the leaders is no longer a hidden one as all are fully aware of the effects of the corrupt practices of our leaders to the society, the world as i have known and seen is supposed to be a very good and comfortable place for citizens of various nations but changed since our leaders sees public offices as a business centre and never the way it is supposed to be. Leaders of this current generation uses everything as a opportunity to steal and enrich themselves wirh the resources of the nation and never remember to ask themselves how will people feel if  surviving becomes very difficult when they are richly blessed with what could help provide a comfortable life if been properly used.

It's a shame that the leaders are liars and the citizens try to copy this disdaining attitude by not loving one another, instead they wish for a close relative to have a terrible moment. What should be of use to every society is kindness and love, then favor would reach out to everyone else in that area. The government or leaders can't change, it's more like it's their duty to continue deceiving her citizens, so, a significant change can only emerge if citizens shifts and practice the opposite of what the government do by staying real and keeping to their words.
