It was the WW2 and the 1960s I believe the founding fathers of this country, were caught unprepared by the longing for self-determination for PNG. Or otherwise, spoon fed to their conscience by some outsiders.
What good have we attained? In this 36 year old walk, I personally don't see anything worth celebrating for because the very citizens we promised for by the process of nationhood we could protect their rights and development, are still suffering as a handful of few greedy politicians and haves are getting richer and richer every day.
PNG politics, today has gone out of hand. No Papua New Guinean is behind the wheels of this country, but the foreigns organisations, governments and businesses drive us here and there to their best interest. We have had been denied the intrinsic meaning of sovereignty--or lost is the true meaning of nationhood.
Our country is are nation dictated by outside bodies that have no respect to Melanesian values and organisation of society. They benefit and we get nothing in terms of tangible outcome in politics, economic and social games played in our home soil.
So, what now, Papua New Guinean?
