“Some things are best expressed in private"
Will the same tribal and regional organisations, village councils, women, youth and student bodies, besides few others spending money to PUBLICLY congratulate and felicitate their respective tribesmen in the print media today for their recent electoral success, PUBLICLY berate or condemn them in the print media tomorrow for any political failure, political misdeed or personal shortcomings as public leaders and representatives?
Just as we publicly herald the success of our members and display our community pride, let us also start to publicly acknowledge the failures of our members and display our community shame!
"So as we fixed responsibility upon others, let us also learn to accept responsibility"
When will Naga tribal organisations, the village and community institutions end the most shameful and hypocritical trait of washing their hands and not owing up responsibility for the injustice committed by members of their tribe against others, yet rising up in unison against any misdeed committed by members of other tribes upon one of theirs?
Falling silent and disappearing when people from our community are at fault only to reappear shouting when our members of our community has been meted injustice!
We Christian Naga's need to exhibit social decency and revive the honourable traditional characteristics of our pagan ancestors.
