Buluk's Development Woes: The saboteurs within

When those you admire are engaged in wrongdoing, you will find technical terms and juicy words to defend, even without asking or waiting for the facts.

When a road contract is awarded to a contractor whom you derive benefits from, you will always be quick to put up a spirited defense when other citizens are advocating for him to do the right thing. READ THIS πŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎπŸ‘‡πŸΎ

The Road Contract: MyTurn, Your Turn, Our Turn

When the youth begin to protest against the authorities for sleeping on their jobs, the elders who benefit from the rotten system and fail to speak up for Buluk when it matters begin to intimidate them with the help of the same authorities.

When politicians know that a unified and development-focused youth is a threat to lies, deception, and incompetence, they begin to fuel hate speech, bigotry, and sectionalism.

When the state of development is stagnant, those supposed to ensure things change for the better are telling fairytale stories and dissipating the meager resources in our collective purse.

In all these cases, when you complain it is interpreted to mean hate, jealousy, or foolish rants. And, with such lines of thought, it will take Buluk several decades to witness any massive and meaningful development.
