Summary

  • ·         To achieve more in life, we need to be responsible and care for our lives and lives of others.
  • ·         Offering solutions to our various woes in life is just a matter of getting the pricing right.
  • ·         The best and most important things in life cost the most.

The most important things are beyond price. How much is your mother worth or your sister or your child?

Staying healthy and being able to care to preserve your life is priceless. Disease destroys and weakens the immunity system of a healthy individual shortening lifespan regardless of advancement in technology. Much is emphasized to take responsibility for our health and bodies by diet and exercise.

Hunger makes it difficult for growth and development both to an individual and the society. Food is a basic need. Someone who has slept on an empty belly knows no peace that comes with a sound sleep.

Everyone wants to have a sound sleep. Falling asleep easily makes people to think you are lazy or tired. Sleeping refreshes the brain. Lack of it, insomnia, or much of it, sleeping sickness, require drugs prescription and treated as sleeping disorders and may drain you cash in the process.

Having money alone is not enough. The things money will buy makes it complete. Who does not want money and the things money will buy? I guess no one. We have bills to pay. Money is the mode of transaction for services rendered. It makes life smooth when meeting the desired needs, making life interesting and enjoyable.

The desire to enjoy life fully in whichever place, makes one to forget about the problems in his/her life. Is that true? You know it better. What if someone whispers to you, maybe as you party, that life hereafter will be merry too in the next world? That’s the feeling you can’t and won’t buy because it is priceless.  

Sexual gratification: affording pleasure, satisfaction, enjoyment and fruition because of delight. They say sensation has no substitute.

The well-being of our children and family is the greatest achievement a parent is proud of. This puts smile on many faces, and makes one develop and shoulder parenthood responsibilities thus one achieve appreciation in a society.

One of the chief distinguishing differences between humankind and the animals is the desire for a feeling of importance. Human nature craves for appreciation too.

We used to say, ‘The best things in life are free.’ Now it seems to be ‘the best things in life cost the most.’

ENERGY OF THE FUTURE: RENEWABLE ENERGY

Image
Investing in renewables is something that should be given an extra weight across the globe for development that safeguards Mother Nature. Fossil fuels, which has been the primary source of energy, should be brought to a halt. It has affected the global economy and proved detrimental to the wellbeing of the environment – heating up the planet earth. Africa, my home continent, is associated with low development and under investment. I believe the continent can rapidly accelerate its infrastructure development and advancement by going green. Most African countries have been unable to deliver regularly occurring power access. The economic model inherited from the colonizers has failed many years after independence. My one trusted friend from Nigeria confirms to me that despite his country extracting oil reserves in enormous volumes, they still grapple with energy challenges. Another one from South Africa, informs me that his country relies on coal-fired power plants, they still...

Kioko Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) as the key sector stakeholders in conservation, were challenged to rethink conservation approaches.

This was a challenge by the President Uhuru Kenyatta on December 16, 2021 during celebrations to mark the 75 th Anniversary of Nairobi National Park. The sector stakeholders must ensure factors including climate change and increase in human population which consequently leads to change of socioeconomic desires are balanced with the new approaches as matters of conservation are concerned.   “We need to really think imaginatively how we will do it and how we will ensure that future generations are able to live side by side with nature and with our wildlife as we have done,” said the Head of State. The President also emphasized the need for a robust sustai...

WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

Image
I had just delivered my presentation at a local event, then one youthful comrade caught up with me at the exit. We exchanged some pleasantries before he looked straight into my eyelid and asked: “Sir, what is the most pressing environmental issue we face?” The most urgent environmental hassle confronting us! I thought to myself reframing the question. Not all of us know the major environmental issues confronting us, except for environmentalists and those who care to know and do follow discussions on environmental topics. But all of us know we are in the 21 st  Century. Correct! For those who need to be reminded, I will; those with no idea but are willing to know, let me share that climate change, toxic pollution, species extinction, and desertification are the major issues that are confronting us. Replying to the above question, I gave an honest answer that the above are serious ecological issues that are confronting humankind and no one has any idea on one that can trigg...
