My Beloved

My beloved Tabunia

February 13th 2012 was the day my beloved baby Tabunia begin life on earth. Her entrance gives me real joy and happiness I thought life will be normal but when I first looked at her couldn't believe my eyes that now I have a pretty little baby girl - Tabunia. As I kept my eyes fixed on her a strange feeling of joy developed within then it vibrates through my vein upwards creating lengthy waves of smiles all over my face.It was a unique moment in life, a special seconds of a minute, that life has disclosed for me. She has brought me smiles, laughter and even imagination that all night long couldn't wait to stare at her while she's sleeping. I couldn't hold my arms to my self anymore that I stretch out and hug my beloved baby for hours into my arms. It's a real moment of pleasure I've never known before.

Tabunia was the love of my life, a change of my identity and most of all a blessing of my life.

I wish to thank the LORD for the gift he gave us as a blessing to our lives. LORD may your name be honored for ever and ever. You are so great, so powerful and mighty. You are so faithful we give you all the glory and the honor back to you.

Temotu Repatriation

Village in Temotu

I was shocked to learn of the repatriation of 300 Temotu people from the plains of Guadalcanal Palm Oil ltd for fear of their safety over the media. I was deeply sorry for our beloved brothers from Temotu knowing that they were there working for a better living however, threats from the land owners have caused them to withdraw their jobs and head back home. 

It is obvious for people to seek safety when there is fear. Life in an environment filled and surround with terror is horror, worrying and a nightmare. No one can live happily with fear. Every body wants to express the freedom of citizenship. Everyone wants to be happy, smile, laugh, love, work and move around. Life is not meant to be too complicated but simple. God created men to live on earth simply to dominate the birds of the sky, fish of the sea, trees and the animals. That was the simple plan for men however, we make things too complicated.

We create war, tension, and violence. We create poverty with our own selfish ideologies. We hate, fight, kill, love, and trying to live in peace. Continuously, we create problems for ourselves, our people, our families and friends in the society and the nation at large. All these are the product of our action over a period of time. When shall we learn to live in harmony, love, peace and subdue Solomon Islands?

Solomon Islands is a small nation with in the Pacific Ocean with a population of about 600 thousand people. I don't think it's so difficult to maintain peace among that population size compared to other African nations having billions of people. Yet Solomon Islands still finds too complicated to bring peace across the entire nation. What's the problem with us? Is it because of having different Islands?

The nation still reviving from the debris and damage caused by the ethnic tension. Our economy still reviving, our law and order begins to be maintained, peace monitoring still maintaining peace, Truth and Reconciliation haven't finished their task yet and the memories still remain but what's coming up again? Is it going to be another ethnic tension?

The repatriation done by the people of Temotu should alarm the national leaders for a prompt action and consideration. Problems should be dealt with at its early age rather than late stage. Remember uprooting a germinated mango seed is much easier than a mango tree. It takes less effort, energy and of course time.

Can we still enjoy the once happy isles?

Solomon Islands government needs political reconciliation

Can a rat live comfortably among clowder of cats? I guess it's impossible since it's hard for both to befriend. But the question is how can we tame them to live in harmony. Am not going to focus on that but wish to share  my observation on the current state of our government under these categories political mobilization, leadership enmity and political reconciliation. 

Hon. Danny Philip

I have observed for the past years 2010/11 our national government has suffered turmoil of political mobilization. Ministers shift from one chamber to another, from government to opposition side and vice versa, claiming frustrations over the abuse of power, inappropriate policies, dictatorship leadership to name but a few. These political mobilizations have resulted in the establishment of two form of government from 25th Aug 2010 to 16 Nov 2011. This is a worst situation for a nation to experience such level of leadership over short period of time. It is not healthy for the nation Solomon Islands since we are not moving forward but toil and struggle with leadership problem. Once more, recently over the media a group of 15 government ministers create new relationship with the opposition side following disagreements within the cabinet realm. Among them is the former Prime Minister Hon. Mr. Danny Philip who states that his disapproval was based on the Prime Minister's move to abolish the National Bureau for Social and Economic Reform. Again this is going to be another so called political revolution. When shall our leaders learn? Can't we humble and submit ourselves to authorities? What a simple misconception of the principle of obedience. I urge the national leaders to be stable in alignment with your purpose since your destiny will never be reached under vibrant and shivering circumstances.  

Political enmity is another obvious crisis affecting our national government. Critics can tell from the general accusations levied against each other that there is a hostile environment filled with spirits of antagonism. There are fancy label, tags and description members have adopted and termed each other with, even addressing them in a sever manner within our political arena. Currently, we have noticed another shift is on the rise. This sense of movement done by the government ministers demonstrates high level of hatred, anger, ill-feeling, enmity and political gossip, have drastically covered the entire parliament house. There are superb reasons and political terminology of dissatisfaction voiced out by parliamentarians against another leadership during withdrawal of support however we can simplify these as delusion of ideology. The continuous practice of this feeling of in-affection will never bring a resolution of consensus at government level regardless of how smart, clever or intelligent we are since up there in our subconscious mind there is a large storage of hatred. Hence, our leaders need to delete the hate from the subconscious mind with a replacement of pure love, passion, infatuation and political unity.  

Mathew Wale

Political reconciliation is my final recommendation to the national government. There is always thunder after lightning, sun after rain, night after day, death after birth and I believe there should be reconciliation after disputes. I have observed the ongoing political mobilization and leadership enmity over and over again across the heart of our government, yet there is no attempt of resolutions for reconciliation. I have read from the media parliamentarians accused each other over political agenda. Apparently, Mathew Wale is being accused by the government for lobbying and luring government ministers. The question of interest is what's next after all these accusations. Shall we keep ignoring them and allow time to bury all these political debris? I believe our national leaders need political reconciliation among them. They need to re-organize the government by getting rid of all these personal hatred, party accusation and political differences. I suggest Solomon Islands truth and reconciliation commission (RTC) to divert immediate attention to our government to restate peace in the house. I am calling upon the entire nation to address the problem of these fifty people who represent fifty constituencies within Solomon Islands. Remember these fifty people do not own the nation Solomon Islands but we have entrusted them to lead us. They do not have right to sell any property of Solomon Islands. We are a democratic nation not a kingdom. Only kings own kingdom, but not Prime Minister. 

Finally, may we work together in building peace within in the heart of the nation - parliament, to regain its pride as a house of parliament rather than ring of fire.
