Happy Independence Papua New Guinea

I WISH you all Happy 44th Independence Day!
It is 44 years of political sovereignty and our country is progressing, despite negative criticisms being made by our own countrymen and women.
We don’t need to point fingers at each other for one’s wrong doing.
No need to rush and knock on our sovereignty for fast transformation. We have to know that Rome did not build in one day. It takes time.
The upcoming generations will see the real development and they will pay homage to what we are doing today, while we are under six feet.
Do what we could do now and leave rest for upcoming generations to continue.
Our government can’t do everything to develop PNG like Vatican City within five years. Development takes time. We have to know that, many countries got independence on the bloodshed but we got it on the golden plate.
Let’s sit back and see how our Melanesian Brothers (West Papua) struggling to liberate themselves from Indonesian hegemony.
The struggle for freedom is like a hell.
We have to be proud of ourselves and fly the PNG flag high to show that we are united in diverse cultures. We put the regionalism and ethnicity aside. Let’s put our hands together and celebrate this memorable event under the theme ‘Unity in diversity’. We celebrate as Melanesian way.
