PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE DAY MESSAGE TO MY SOLOMON ISLANDS (07/07/2016)

It’s amazing how a small tiny nation on the world map is celebrating its 38 years of standing by itself through thick and thin. A nation so small that even in the physical map, it can easily be unnoticed when skimming through the world map. This tiny nation of Solomon Islands is where I called home and is a nation I loved the most.

Green is our grass, blue is our rich ocean and yellow reflects the awesome all bright days in our country. The white stars at night reminds us of how God has kept us through waves of troubles faced by the nation and still standing tall as Solomon Islands. We faced a lot in our 38 years and yet we have overcome many of these problems and challenges. We ourselves challenge ourselves every day to try and make our nation better than yesterday and while many failed many kept the belief of Solomon Islands developed like the other most developed countries. The real significance of this tiny nation of Solomon Islands is not through its football or beautiful all summer round year but it is through the people itself. A place on earth where the smile touches your soul and the songs lighten your day. Where the breeze whistle peace and the trees give you comfort. Materially we are nothing compared to others but naturally we are blessed with amazing talents and raw resources some even untapped until today. Indeed, we are blessed beyond measures.

I am not only proud to be a Solomon Islander but I am also honored to be one. It is not only about how beautiful and nice our people can be but it is the culture and diversity of ethnic groups that symbolizes hope for the future not only for Solomon Islands but the world too. Yes, corruption sneaks in our society already and have killed a lot of transparency but I believe God has an impeccable plan for my beloved Solomon Islands. I embrace this nation as worthy as it is and I am thankful that God has appointed me along with many other people to be part of this Solomon Islands. God is good and his mercy endures forever. It has been an amazing 38 years of independency because it is not only about the positive things but the negative things too that sets this nation apart.

Happy 38 years of Independence Solomon Islands.
