INTERVIEW WITH CARDINAL The Catholic Bishop of Abuja, Cardinal - TopicsExpress



          

INTERVIEW WITH CARDINAL The Catholic Bishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, has asked the Presidency to stop labelling critics of his administration, particularly politicians in the opp Speaking on the programme ’Face the nation’, broadcast on Rockcity 101.9 fm Abeokuta, Ogun state, he advised those in position of authority to imbibe the spirit of tolerance. ‘The issue of the politicisation is very serious and dangerous, where the party in government sees anybody who doesn’t agree with them as the Boko Haramist that are out to destroy the nation. What this means is that, if you do not agree with me, or if you are not in PDP you don’t love Nigeria. That’s, wait a minute, wait a minute. That we disagree in politics doesn’t mean we don’t love our nation. And until we get that out of our head not much will move forward. By the way too, before I’m misquoted too, it’s the same thing from the part of the opposition who think they are the only ones who love Nigeria The former President of the Christain Association of Nigeria (CAN) also said the state of insecurity in the country right now is disturbing, and expressed disappointment at the way information managers within the Presidency are managing the situation. ‘When things are not going well, and if there is anything on which Nigerians are agreed, irrespective of political parties, is that things are not going well. The only time I’ve heard that everything is perfect was recently on television, BBC, when Okupe was telling HARDTALK that ‘everything in Nigeria is perfect’. He is the only one I’ve heard saying that kind of thing, that the government has done everything perfectly, ‘What about the girls in the bush? “oh don’t worry, they will soon come back”. Who is he deceiving? We all agree that things must change and I’m hoping that the more and more Nigerians who will realise that we don’t just sit down and wait for things to change. Worse still we don’t sit down and say, ‘Only God will save Nigeria’, he said. The seventy year old priest further said it is wrong for Nigerians to hastily conclude that all conflicts are either politically or religiously motivated. ‘When you have a situation of conflict, we should NOT needlessly jump into conclusion that this is because of Islam or Christianity. Unfortunately, not just Christianity and Islam, but religion in general can easily be used to foment and to create tensions, because religion does a lot to move people to action, and religious conviction can be very all-embracing, and if you are able to project any agenda as a religious agenda, it will be taken on with religious fervour.” he explained. The cardinal, however, said people shold be able to distinguish religion and politics, to know when one is acting for religious reasons and when acting for political reasons. Reflecting on the need to reconcile the different peoples of Nigeria, Cardinal Onayeikan used the nation’s experience during the civil war to stress the need for genuine reconciliation. ‘So if you bring that to the case of the Biafran war, unfortunately many of the personae dramatis, many of the participants are still alive and that is what is still making it difficult to have an accurate story of what actually took place. No matter how you look at it, we must admit that that war was not inevitable, it could have been avoided. If there had been a little bit more of spirit of ‘give and take’, less arrogance on both sides. People tend to forget that when the Biafran war broke out, the two major leaders of the war were young men; by modest standards, they were in their 30’s, gowon and ojukwu. Gowon was 32, Ojukwu was 33, young soldiers. So you are not surprised therefore that they took impulsive decisions which unfortunately engulfed everyone. We are lucky that we were able to finish the war in 18 months, at the end of which, people went back to their normal lives. Some people had been seriously battered as a result of the war, but there are many people who rose up because of the war. We’ve had now almost, how many years?.... 40 years or more to recover’. He concluded. LISTEN TO THE AUDIO INTERVIEW WITH CARDINAL JOHN ONAIYEKAN FULL TEXT OF CARDINAL JOHN ONAIYEKAN’S INTERVIEW WITH ROCKCITY 101.9FM Q – Your Eminence on your 70th birthday celebration, you presented a book titled ‘Seeking common Grounds’, what inspired you to write such a book and to what end? A – Let it be known first and foremost that I didn’t sit down to write that book, it is a collection of other things I have written over the years, some of them were articles, some were talks, some were simply lectures and they were given in different circumstances to different levels of audience ranging from scientific, high level experts in religion to the most common and ordinary people and even to those from my point of view pastors, that is pastoral exhortation to my people. But what this means is that on the occasion of my 70th birthday, I had told a friend to put together some of my talks and we decided to take them in different themes, so all the things I’ve written about interfaith and inter-religious dialogue - as I have written a lot on that, so they picked the very interesting ones and put it together in a book. Then it came to choosing the title and I chose the title ‘Seeking Common Grounds’, and if you ask me why did I choose that title, I believe that is the title that really spells out very clearly what it is that moves me in the things that I say and do, in terms of inter-relationship with other faiths. ‘Seeking Common Grounds’ is a title that makes a few important points, and the most important of the points is that there are common grounds. We tend to exaggerate or emphasize our differences. In Nigeria, we happened to have just 2 major religions that are considered relevant. The African traditional religion is for all of us, so it doesn’t really feature in this discussion too much. Between Christianity and Islam, the tendency is to imagine that they are 2 religions and therefore we tend to emphasize the differences. Sometimes even when one contrasts the other, and therefore making it a basis for conflict, my training and experience has been in the area of seeking common grounds and we have to emphasize, not just the aspect of common grounds but also the aspect of ‘seeking’. In other words, the common grounds are there but we must seek them out. Q – What are these common grounds? A – It depends on how you look at them, but for the purposes of this discussion, I see the common grounds perhaps in two dimensions, there is the common ground that we share as human beings whether you are a Muslim or a Christian, we have so much that we share, what we often call our common humanity, so much so that if two people come to you and they are not holding bibles or rosaries, in Nigeria, you cannot really differentiate whether they are Muslims or Christians. Most of the time we are just Nigerians, with all the same problems, with all the same difficulties. For me, I think that is very important and we shouldn’t forget that. Our common humanity also means that we can emphasize the wonderful values that we share being the value of mutual respect, the respect for the society and the community. The common elements are also the challenges that we have together, the challenge of bad government in Nigeria afflicts everybody. It does not distinguish between Muslims and Christians and when there is inflation or even unemployment, some people may think that Muslims have no problem with unemployment, some even say Christians are taking all the jobs, but the fact is, in this matter, we are all affected. These are the common grounds with regard to simply looking at human conditions and the conditions in which we live. Perhaps more interestingly, there are common grounds in terms of our religious values and the Quran is not the Bible, but there are many things in the Quran that we can also find in the Bible not just by accident. There is no doubt that since the Quran came 600 years after the bible, stories of the Old Testament which we find in the Quran cannot be there by accident. Quran speaks of Abraham, Jacob, Moses and speaks about their faith. It also talked about Jesus and speaks in such a glowing manner of Mary the mother of Jesus. These means that a Muslim is familiar with what Christians are familiar with. To the extent that if you go to the North and somebody says his name is Ibrahim, it doesn’t mean he’s a Muslim, since Ibrahim is also Abraham who is seen as holy for both Christians and Muslims. To a reasonable extent, the contents of the Ten Commandments in the bible are confirmed in the Quran – Don’t steal, Don’t kill, Don’t tell lies etc. That does not deny that we have problems, we have differences and the differences are not negligible, they are serious differences. Q – With all these common and shared challenges that you have talked about, why is it difficult for Christians and Muslims to live together in peace and harmony not only in Nigeria but also on the Global stage? A – Personally I don’t believe that the difficulties you are talking about are because people are Christians or Muslims, there are other reasons. Q – What are these reasons? A – The reason simply is that, people have multiple identities, I’m a Christian, specifically a Catholic Christian, but also I’m an African not a European, though there are Europeans who are Catholics and we share the identity of being Catholics. But when it comes to Africa and Europe, we are different. Europeans used to be our colonizers. If you come nearer home to Nigeria, I’m a Yoruba man apart from the fact that I’m a Christian. Then there are the differences to people’s attitude to life. You have people who are very peaceful in their mind and they can be Muslims or Christians. You may also have people who in their mind-set and attitude, tend to be either belligerent or violent and you find them everywhere. So when you have a situation of conflict, we should needlessly jump into conclusion that this is because of Islam or Christianity. Unfortunately, not just Christianity and Islam but religion in general can easily be used to foment and to create tensions because religion does a lot to move people to action, and religious conviction can be very all-embracing and if you are able to project any agenda as a religious agenda, then it will be taken on with religious fervour. Politicians therefore know this and they often use it and if you ask me they often misuse it. In the case of Christianity and Islam because of the differences between us, it’s very easy for people who want conflict to try and who are competing to try and push one group against the other. One of the points of my book is that it is the job and duty of whoever calls himself a religious leader to pay attention and watch out so as not to allow himself to be co-opted into battles that have nothing to do with religion. Q – Would you say that religious leaders of nowadays are doing that? Are they separating religion, their faith from Politics? A – I didn’t use the word ‘separate’ religion from politics, I will never say so now because you can never separate religion from politics but you can distinguish religion and politics. You should be able to know when you are acting for religious reasons and when you are acting for political reasons, the fact remains that our political actions, if you are a man of deep faith will be affected by your faith. Let me give you a typical example: I tell my Catholics who enter politics, ‘you have no business in politics, first, if you don’t believe that God is in charge of human affairs. Which means you cannot go into politics to become the God almighty of everybody. Secondly, when you enter there without conviction that God is in charge of all that you are going to do, you will be in politics all the time looking for God’s will for his people and we know very well that God want people to live in peace, so He will pursue peace, He will pursue justice for everyone. When you talk about politicians pursuing justice, it’s about them fighting for their own rights over and against their colleagues of the other political party, but above all it is pursuing justice in terms of the uncommon person, the common good but Justice in such a way that everybody has a fair share of the goods of the church. That is why we believe that, if a person is really a good Christian he should be a good politician, and if somebody is a bad politician, by that I mean he is a thief, he is a wicked person even if he goes to church ten times a day, he is a bad Christian. I can say that about Christianity and I am sure it is also valid with Islam. So, the two actually tend to go together. Q – Pope Francis and other notable religious leaders like you have been preaching global peace, unity, through interfaith dialogue with other leaders of other faiths, but global peace seems to be elusive, what can be done to make it possible? A – First of all, we must believe not only that it is the will of God that we should live in peace, we must also believe that it is possible. But we also must believe that it comes with a cost. It was interesting, I don’t know whether here in Nigeria you followed the wonderful prayer session of the Pope when the Pope invited Simon Perez, the Jew and Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Arab to the Vatican gardens to pray. The Pope made that powerful statement that ‘To pursue peace demands more courage than to wage war and that to look for or seek harmony is more difficult than to separate people’, which means that if we are having wars and global peace is not happening, it is because human beings tend to be lazy to pursue peace. We take the line of least resistance. We find it easier to become local champions, we have seen it all the time with politicians even when we claim we are serving our people we are doing it in terms of ‘we against others’. So you will find the Igbo politician complaining that Igbos are marginalised, he will not remember that he has marginalised his own people in many ways because not every Igbo man is happy with a fellow Igbo man. Which is why you will also find an Hausa man complaining they are marginalised and for Yorubas and everybody feels the same, because we are not facing one direction of trying to get what is best for everybody. This is where religion is very powerful by the fact that if it is true religion you must believe that there is just one God who is interested in all of us. That came out very clearly at that prayer. Both the Jew and the Arab Muslim kept talking about God, who is the father of all and that this God since we are all his children, it’s not His desire that we be killing ourselves. Q – These issues that you have brought up also shows that there is an unhealthy suspicion and crisis of confidence between these ethnic nationalities that make up Nigeria, how possible will it be for us to unite and chart a common front for this nation, Nigeria? A – This raises the whole question about ‘How do you handle differences?’ Differences are constant and essential elements of our human nature and nature in general. Look at them, see the diversities, trees are not the same, animals are not the same, human beings even though we look alike we know ourselves that we are not the same. Even people, who look alike physically, like twins, can be different. So the problem is not the differences, the problem is how you handle the differences. Again, this is where the whole question of ‘Common Grounds’ come up, whether you are talking of religion, ethnic differences, there are common grounds and by the time you study… if you are a sociologist and you study societies, it is scientifically clear that there are a whole lot of common grounds among human societies. That we behave very much the same way, but the expression may be different, you speak one language and I speak another but it is the same thing that we are trying to express. Otherwise how could we have communication, so the problem is not our differences but rather with how those differences are handled, so if you take the ethnic thing, it is not a mistake that God made sure that we have different ethnic groups and then put a good number of us nto this country called Nigeria – Yoruba, Hausa, Muslim, Edo, whatever you have. These are there, and for those of us who are into religion we ought to also not forget that this means that it is according to God’s plan and when we have difficulties we could solve it by trying to go to the mind of God, what did God have in mind?. One of the ways out is to recognise the differences and diversities as part of the richness of God. God is so rich in His ideas that he cannot put everything in one group of people, he divides, distributes his gifts and talents in different ways but all are interrelated. To some extent we can say the same about religion and here many people still are not able to admit that we must recognise God’s hand in the diversity of Religion. As a Cardinal, some people maybe scandalised to hear me saying, it is not against the will of god that some of us are Christians and some people are Muslims. We must admit that since we have these differences in the expressions of religion and for the simple reason that they are all pointing to the same direction with one God. This one God must know what He is doing, which means I’m ready to admit that Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar who doesn’t go to church with me, but goes to the mosque on Fridays, is worshipping his God the same way as I am worshipping my God but at the end of the day we are both worshipping the same God. But the tragedy in Nigeria right now is that there are too many people who don’t admit that it is the same God we are all worshipping. You would think the God of the Muslims is different from the God of the Christians, the church to which I belong, the Catholic church never accept such position. We believe that Jews, Christians, and Muslims, we all worship the same one God, who for us Christians is the Father of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ who himself is God, but that’s we Christians who say that. The Jews don’t believe Jesus is the Son of God nor the Messiah, they are still waiting for the Messiah and the Muslims who came after Christianity have rejected the idea of Jesus being God, but all of us agree that there is one God, who is the Father of us all. As a Catholic and as a Christian, I take my understanding of who God is and what He has done through Jesus Christ as a grace of faith which I receive as faith, which means not everybody receive the same gift. I can therefore clearly appreciate a situation where I have a very good man, good at heart but who does not believe in Jesus, because he has not received the gift of faith. The problem with people who are intransigent is that they think it is their own power and that it is only their own wisdom that makes them to recognise and know certain things about God. Therefore, anybody who doesn’t know it must be a fool, how can’t you see? Q – The very gory and unpalatable memories of the Nigerian civil war of the 1970’s is still very much fresh in the mind of an average Igbo man and they still hold that grudge against the perpetrators of that evil then and against the Nigerian nation, how can we heal this wound? A – We have now moved into a different issue namely – How do you heal wounds of relationships which happens in the history of nations and groups. We are just celebrating now the 50th anniversary of the end of the 2nd World War, for 3 or 4 years, Europe was divided down the line, killed one another, they killed more than 4 or 5 million people. Germans against French, Russians against Germans, the same people who are now sitting together in the European Union, they have managed in the last 50 years to arrive at a healing of the wounds of the past and they are even trying to heal the memories of the past. It is natural, just like in the family when we were children, sometimes me and my brother or my sister we quarrel and hit each other, we might even injure one another and then Mama or Papa comes and say ‘What are you doing?’, and then when he separates us, within the next few hours we are playing together again, it happens. So if you bring that to the case of the Biafran war, unfortunately many of the personae dramatis, many of the participants are still alive and that is what is still making it difficult to have an accurate story of what actually took place. No matter how you look at it, we must admit that that war was not inevitable, it could have been avoided. If there had been a little bit more of spirit of ‘give and take’, less arrogance on both sides, people tend to forget that when the Biafran war broke out, the two major leaders of the war were young boys by modest standards, they were in their 30’s, Gowon and Ojukwu. Gowon was 32, Ojukwu was 33, young soldiers. So you are not surprised therefore that they took impulsive decisions which unfortunately engulfed everyone. We are lucky that we were able to finish the war in 18 months, at the end of which, people went back to their normal lives, some people had been seriously battered as a result of the war, but there are many people who rose up because of the war. We’ve had now almost, how many years?.... 40 years or more to recover. Q – But we seem not to be recovering A – We are recovering, recovering in the sense that, the Igbo man and the Yoruba man, average Yoruba man and Igbo man are not really looking at each other with the kind of suspicion you are saying, they are friends among themselves, they are even marrying one another. The only problem is that when politics comes in, the Igbo politician wants to win his way by claiming to be fighting the cause of the Igbo man and if suits him he will recall the issues of the civil war even though now many of them were not there, because any of them who is under 50 could not have known much of the civil war. So, if there is difficulty of our coming together, I don’t think it’s because of the Biafra war, it is interesting if you look at the Biafran war in the context of the conflicts of Christians and Muslims in Nigeria you will notice, because in the Biafran war, it was not Christians against Muslims, Gowon who led the Federal side was a Christian, not only that the majority of the Federal troops were Christians soldiers, and they were not going to Biafra to kill Christians, they were going to Biafra as far as they are concerned, to deal with rebellion of Igbos which is a pity that it took that form. We hope that we’ve had time to realise that it was a mistake to have gone that way. Q – That rebellion you talked about, a school of thought believe that that rebellion that also translated to the civil war is the basis of our problem right now in Nigeria, do you think so? A – What I will say is that, the things that caused the rebellion, and that rebellion was not without reason, the issues of justice the issues of good governance, the issues of inclusiveness, unfortunately even the civil war didn’t solve them, all that the civil war tried to do was to keep Nigeria one which is the task that must be done, but after that, the same problems came up, if you read the declaration of Nzeogwu after the coup, the reasons which he gave for staging the coup which according to him is the highhandedness and corruption of leaders is the same. So until we tackle those ones, the problem will still hang on. Q – How can we tackle that corruption and misgovernance bedevilling this nation as we speak? A – One of the ways to tackle them is not to take it for granted, to refuse to accept it as a way of life. Unfortunately, people keep saying ‘this is Nigeria’, and whenever I hear that I get mad and I tell them ‘No, this is not Nigeria, Nigeria can be different’. If we give up hope and think this country cannot even be governed differently from the way it is going now then there is no future. 31:00 I say it very seriously because the country cannot forever survive bad governance. It is a law of history that when bad governance is allowed to get entrenched, it falls under its own weight. Whether with revolution or not, change will come. I am one of those who believe that Nigeria will change the question is: How? And who will handle it? Q – The bad governance that you talked about has been pointed out or fingered as the main reason why there is underdevelopment that has now translated to Terrorism in the Northern and North-Eastern part of the country? A – Let us say bad governance at the end of the day is an extension of a human trait of selfishness. We all tend to be selfish and it is only our better self that thinks about others. For as long as we have politics that is run at the basis of people doing well for themselves and fighting largely to maintain power where it is and forgetting the needs people on the ground, including party members on the ground, we have definitely built a house that is on sand that cannot last. Other countries have gone through it long enough to realise that a country cannot become great if it does not find a way of purging itself of this virus of selfishness carried to the highest level. Q – And greed? A – Selfishness and greed, ‘no be the same thing’. I will add that our selfishness and our greed is expressed very often in a very stupid way. It doesn’t even make sense, Very stupid way. Add unto that, the whole idea, of course when you are selfish and you are greedy you don’t care about people and when you don’t care about people you are talking of wickedness, Lack of concern for others. Q – Does that mean that people should take up arms and start killing innocent lives just like Boko Haram? A – Well I’m glad you mentioned that, Boko Haram probably has good reasons, they have probably grievances but they are wrong in the approach they are taking to it. Not only because you do not redress grievances by violence, but also because they are killing and maiming people who are not responsible for their complaints, namely innocent people. Generally once you start trying to address injustice by violence,, this is almost what happens. That innocent people pay the price, innocent people pay the price and it has been happening all through human history, which is why it is so important that people do their best to keep a minimum of order in the way we manage our affairs. When things are not going well, and if there is anything on which Nigerians are agreed irrespective of political parties, is that things are not going well. The only time I’ve heard that everything is perfect was recently on television, BBC, when Okupe was telling HARDTALK that ‘everything in Nigeria is perfect’. He is the only one I’ve heard saying that kind of thing, that the government has done everything perfectly, ‘What about the girls in the bush? “oh don’t worry, they will soon come back”. Who is he deceiving? We all agree that things must change and I’m hoping that the more and more Nigerians who will realise that we don’t just sit down and wait for things to change. Worse still we don’t sit down and say, ‘Only God will save Nigeria’. Come on, what kind of God do you believe in? A God who has given us intelligence to know what to do, to do the right thing and told us to do the right thing? If you don’t do what he told you to do then don’t blame him if things go wrong. 36:00 If we all remain apathetic, do nothing or manage our own little world, don’t care about us provided you can survive with your own little family, then we have to be prepared for the worst. Those who say that: ‘Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable’, it is a simple law of nature. Change won’t happen if you don’t work on how it will happen like through elections, like through people repenting and changing their ways, like a more intelligent approach to how we run our affairs, if we don’t do that, violence will come and violence has no logic. Q – If you believe that the Boko Haram sect has a set of ideology, and has genuine grievances, would you advocate amnesty for that group? A – I’m not the one advocating, the President has already done so. Q – Are you in support of it? A – President Jonathan has already said he is prepared to give amnesty to those of them who renounce violence and are prepared to be re-integrated into the wider society. I am perfectly in agreement with him. This is for a very simple reason, if you do not offer amnesty, how do you get anybody to embrace peace? For as long as any Boko Haram that is caught is locked up and shot, none of them is going to come out. Even those among them who are tired or those of them who have been forced into the group and I hear many were forced into the group, haven reached there they can’t escape. If even they escape, they are coming from the camp. So the idea of amnesty is not a new thing in human history of situation like our own. Nobody should have any… we should not be naïve about it, it doesn’t mean that once you declare amnesty all the Boko Haram boys will come up with their hands in the sky, NO. Some of them will come out but there will still be a hardcore group to refuse and say we’ll fight till the end. Already the leaders are saying so. Amnesty, what do you mean by that? Some of them are probably interpreting the offer of amnesty to be that the Government knows now that they are tired, they think that it is a sign of the weakness of Government. But you see, just the like with human affairs, it requires more courage and strength to forgive than to revenge. Revenge is the most simple and natural thing to do but to forgive is more difficult. Q – With the approach of President Goodluck Jonathan, how possible will we witness the end of these terrorist acts? A – I don’t know the approach of President Jonathan, all I know is that there seems to be quite a lot of confusion with regards to what exactly is happening. The Military programme we know is fraught with all kinds of inconsistencies and difficulties which is why a small group of riff-raff are holding the whole of the Nigerian Army to ransom. The issue of the politicisation is very serious and dangerous, where the party in government sees anybody who doesn’t agree with them as the Boko Haramist that are out to destroy the nation. What this means is that, if you do not agree with me, or if you are not in PDP you don’t love Nigeria. That’s, wait a minute, wait a minute. That we disagree in politics doesn’t mean we don’t love our nation. And until we get that out of our head not much will move forward. By the way too, before I’m misquoted too, it’s the same thing from the part of the opposition who think they are the only ones who love Nigeria and that the party in Government don’t like this country and are destroying our nation. That kind of attitude cannot help us. Q – With this present crop of political leaders, do you think they have the solution to Nigeria’s many challenges, do you see them as capable of solving our problems? A – Nigerian political leaders as you know cover all levels of Nigerian society, not just the old people, and there are some old guys there who have been there since 1966, but also young boys who have just come out of the university especially children of the old guards who are also in politics. There’s no difference in what they are doing. You know we used to think about the new breed politicians, well the new breed politicians are just new breed cheats and thieves. If there are politicians who are trying their best - I hope there are, they have a rough time to come out with anything that will really move the nation forward so that we all have a country that we will all be proud of. All of us cannot be politicians but we need politicians to put our country in order and we pay them well to do that. All I think we should be begging for is that, take your salary, do your work so that we can live in peace. Don’t take over the country and take everything and leave us with nothing. That is the problem we have on our hands now. In this case, I’m not distinguishing between one political party and the other, they still have to prove to me that there is any of them who really seriously wants the good of this nation and the good of the people of Nigeria including and especially the poorest who are just there, who have always been on the losing side no matter who is in government. Q – Finally sir, because of these political intrigues and of course the permutations ahead of 2015, the drum of war is being beaten by different political figures and different sections and ethnic groups in the country, do you foresee 2015 to be a make or mar year? A – Political intrigues is part and parcel of politics, but for politicians to be beating drums of war, it is most unfortunate and above all, short sighted and it is not doing anybody any good. Anyone who wants a major battle in 2015 first doesn’t love Nigeria, second doesn’t even love themselves, because if you end up in 2015 with a major civil war in our hands, we will all suffer. My prayer is that since many Nigerians are praying and there are many good Nigerians around, we will find a way to avoid it or perhaps haven danced for a long time on the brink of disaster, we’ll find our way of dancing back to safety. For that you really need to believe firmly in the goodness of God and some of us believe that God is working extra time looking after our country, namely the poor people. We are many - 170 million of us, most of who are working hard and are not looking for anything special other than just being able to live a peaceful life, decent living conditions which our country can afford.
