Truth be told, we are leaving in a society were no body values truth anymore, people no longer care about there integrity and moral anymore. For you to speak the truth is like blocking some set of people from achieving there selfish aim perhaps risking your own life at the process.
However seeing a sincere person this days is very difficult and merely in our society but I pray God help.
A Nigerian diplomat, Maitama Sule said and I quote, 'Honesty when it doesn't pay has become meaningless'. It is a simple way of explaining the decadence and how degraded our moral and ethical standards have become as a people, generally. It's a generational thing, the milennials who are oftentimes referred to as the Gen Y, seemed to be more morally sound than the Gen Z. I also know one thing that has contributed to this degenerated issue is as a result of social media influence.any
Many young people have tried to adopt foreign culture without knowing and are left in the dilemma of whether they should follow their own culture or to follow the culture of other foreigners. In this regards, Maitama Sule also said, 'many people that leaves their culture or abandoned their culture will lose their respect and identity, any people that try to emulate an alien culture will end up being a poor caricature of what they're trying to copy, they will be out of source everywhere and at home no where'.
Honesty and trustworthy people may look scarce in our society this days especially in Africa. This is because they either kill you or deny you of your promotion at work if you are truthful and honest. This days the little ones self are full of dishonesty and corruption. Although most of our leaders have indirectly taught their community member to be corrupt. Imagine when you are being detained for revealing the truth about a corrupt incident. Would you love to say the true next time? Our community nowadays doesn't support and encourage truthfulness, so only those that are fully God fearing can stand to their feet and still remain honest and truthful.
