Eradicate government gratuity approach

After thirty-four (34) years of self governance, Papua New Guineans should have learnt enough and known better. The time to wait for the government to be their savior in solving their problems should be over. Every thinking Papua New Guinean should be using their skills and their abilities to use whatever resources they have in their disposal to creating something useful out of them.

History has shown us that no government has the answer to solving every problem faced by a nation and her people. There are a few people in Papua New Guinea who seem to realize this fact and have taken matters into their own hands by using what little resources their have to mobilize their people to do something for the common good.

People of Dei, Hagen Central and Anglimp South Wahgi are showing us that we can do something for ourselves instead of waiting for the government to do everything for us. Picture: SENT TIMBI

More than 9,000 people at the borders of Mt Hagen Central, Dei and Anglimp South Wahgi electorates are using their own spades to construct a 17 kilometre (10.56 miles) road, connecting Deti Wara in the Dei district to Kindeng in the Anglimp South Wahgi electorate in Western Highlands Province. Councillor from the area and president for Muglamb LLG in the Dei district William Noki negotiated with the locals and they started building the road with their hands and shovels.

Quoting the famous words from the former US president John F Kennedy, "ask not what your country can do for you: ask what you can do for your country''. Can we share these words with others and those that are around us for a better Papua New Guinea?

An "Unusual Baby" born in Papua New Guinea

Click on the pic for a larger view

In the Hawaian village; Boikin Dagua, Local Level Government, East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea something unexpected happened.

On the 18th of September 2009, this “Baby” was delivered at home by a mother of three weighing over 3kgs (6.6 lbs) and lived for only 16 hours. It is believed that the baby was born with a human body and with a head that looked like a frog. However, to some onlookers it looked more like a turtle/tortoise's head.

Pictured (above) is one of the women from the village (not the mother) holding on to the baby while curious villagers look on. This was claimed to be the second such instance with the first being some years back when another woman gave birth to a child with the head allegedly to that of a snake's head.

This will only unfold in the Land of the Unexpected. Therefore, Expect the Unexpected in the Land of the Unexpected when you get the chance to set foot on the shores of Papua New Guinea (PNG).
