Subject: Re: Wapenamanda Open ( Maryanne Tokome -Amu) Author: Cool_Guy1 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Mon, Mar 12 2007, 05:00:43pm In reply to: Adams 's message, "Wapenamanda Open ( Maryanne Tokome -Amu)" on Mon, Mar 05 2007, 04:43:35pm Let me remind all of you of the facts that surround Papua New Guinea, and you will be able to accept the facts that Enga is not doing so bad. I know there is lots of negative image about our province but, i have travelled around a bit throughout the country, (i guess some of you did also, and you will apprecite what i am about to say). Compare the Highlands with the coastal provinces of Papua New Guinea. Just over 50 years ago, Europeans led by the Leahy brothers entered the Highlands. You guess when the Europeans arrived at the coastal villages? Some of these provinces are celebrating their more than 100 years of missionary presence. Compare this with the road systems. Right at the nose in the Capital city, take a look at the outskirts of the city's road networks. Some are inaccessible when it is raining. You drive down to Rigo mainland and you will appreciate Engas road networks. Tell me how many people in and around Port Moresby own PMV buses.. etc.. etc.. Compare the silent millionaires that are coming up from the Province, and the intellectual capacity that is being build every year. Compared to a lot of other provinces Enga is one of the top provinces with lots of intellectual outputs. Mind you, not more than 50 years ago Europeans have come to our land and now we have people living all over the world, doing buisiness and working and studying. Road networks in Enga are much better than some other provinces that i have travelled. All i am saying is, lets all not dwell on the negatives all the time, and smell the roses. The moon is seen from one side of the world in a given season, however, it cant be seen from the other side of the world, be it you are looking from the South or the North. Likewise, if you always live in a dream world on the side of negatives, you build a tendency to complain and be impatient with small things. If you dwell on the positives, you will always see sunshine through the clouds. An Engan has opened her doors to do business in Enga. I salute her for seeing things in a positive way. Many bright Engan would say, why waste her effort in a place where there is not much development going on. I'd say, she hasnt seen the cloud, but the sunshine beyond the clouds. Such positive attitude is needed to drive our province forward. I salute her for her courage. One person asked in one of the postings, why does this forum have a lot of postings on politics. I believe Engans love their politics, however, Engan fail to understand the difference between Politics, business and surviving in a competitive world. Politics and businesses does not go together. Politics is for those who feel called to it. You cant become a politician because you seem to be the only educated person from a tribe and you are forced to stand for it. If you do, you wont serve the people well. Politics is a calling, if you feel the urge inside you, that you would be a great leader, and you have all this visions to develop Enga, why not. Education does not warrant someone to contest the elections. I know, we need educated people in Parliament, but if an educated person is not a born leader he, would be like some other small time villagers too. Born leaders, have a vision to drive the needs of the people to the National Government. I very mush disagree with people who stand for elections because they got money, finished a PHD or masters, etc..etc.. If you have a vision, and that vision is driving you.. go for it.. Think positive Engan.. Enga is only 50 years old...in terms of European entering our beloved province. We havent done bad. In the next 20 years, you will see the real changes and you will appreciated it.. Cool_Guy1 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

You are so negative about what has been written. You have to understand that everything is not about money, have you been to this clinic if answer is no than I guess you should I will take you there personally. You cant even handle the fact that somone is actually trying to do good in the community and all you can do its to write negative stuff.

If this is a genuine service, it would have started along time ago. This clinic is questionable as it is to gain last minute popularity.

Even through one of my uncle is also contesting, a lot of the women are talking about voting Maryanne. For 31 years, men have taken us astray. Those women like Nancy and others bear in mind that at least Maryanne is giving very strong awareness on good goverance in Wapenamanda, would you do what she is doing, not all of us women have the courage like her so I believe she is representing me in Waps.

You know if you dont know her you should just not write stuff like this coz I dont know what you are trying to prove.One thing what do you mean by "Instead, give good policies that can be achieved" Achived by bribeing villages with money is that the right way to go. Apart from you low class telling maryanne to be real why dont you go say it to her face?

I have not visited the clinic yet so I am asking. Sure if I come around to Waps during x-mas breaks will pop around and see whats happening and make my final decision. Look, I support the clinic. And thats a good thing for bussiness in Waps and Enga. And offers an alternative for those who want private medical care. I have no problem with that. I am just wondering what a coinsidence that the clinic opens with the general election around the corner?? It may be just pure coincidental but just asking. Thinking aloud here.... My conscience would not allow me to open a private clinic in Waps, simple because I would feel guilt asking a simple villager to pay for 1 week dose of antibiotic or anti-helminthic medication when I am fully well aware that they do not have a salary package every forthnight. I would rather help them to make use of that money to take preventative measures eg. buy a tank to store rain water for clean drinkng water, build a proper toilet for better hygiene, or improve and better design the traditional housing so that they do not have to suffer painfull death when they are 50 years from cor pulmonale as a result of inhaling smoke inside the houses, or...I can go on and on here... I am not negative. I just want to simple see a better and cost-effective health care to our people. peace pngean [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Has your your old Lapun got a degree?let alone a masters degree,maybe you might want to ask him. 15 years of sitting around and building his own empire in defence of emerging young talents rocking his status-quo,you can't teach an old dog new tricks-We live in a changing world with a booming information technology with men and women who have innovative ideas and skills with productive outcome-Maybe you might want to define the following words;innovation,invention,enterpreneurship,macro-economics,inflation,GDP,interest rates,stock market & share markets- Moreover would Miki have a clue about all these,by the time he looks at the first word,he probably will suffer from migrains. Maryanne's no average men/women so stop joggling around with your pre-school vocabularlies, save it for your mum it might by you a K2-00 lamp flaps. Can't you see,she is providing service to hundreds and hundreds of people,saving their lives.If these people were given a choice between election and death ,would they choose election? not only has she created 5 local jobs for Wapenamanda citizens who are feeding their families and elatives,even more astounding and unarguably charitable is that she is committing her personal wealth into funding this clinic-no government support what so-ever. This is an iron woman we talking and only time will tell whether she is in for the long or the short haul. Don't take cheap shorts at her guys,you are your worst enemy. Let's look from outside the square and think of more local and foreign investments which will generate more jobs ,more money and more economic activities and hence, improve our depleting living standards.

She can run a clinic and run her compaign too.gee...shes smarter than your old, out-of-touch lapun. Maybe hes a good candidate for the veterans club.Dont be stupid buddy! Can you Tata define what a Leader is and give us some of the qualities that you would like to see? Cheers! Mad Max. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
