Today, 12th march 2009 is the creation of this blog! It coincides with the independence of Mauritius.
To begin, lets chant the national anthem together:
Glory to thee, Motherland,
O motherland of mine.
Sweet is thy beauty,
Sweet is thy fragrance,
Around thee we gather
As one people,
As one nation,
In peace, justice and liberty.
Beloved country, may God bless thee
For ever and ever.
You will also want to hear the complete song:
..And why not hear the instrumental version of the national anthem?
Now lets get to something serious:
I wish all the people residing in Mauritius Only a Happy independence day! (Those who are abroad are slave of that country!)
Mauritius is an island with very limited natural resources. I.e. nou pena ene revenue fix lor plateau coument lezot pays ki ena petrol etc. But, our labour force is excellent and hard working. We have to thank the free education system where education has uplifted the country in a dramatic way. We are able to produce quality students and our laureates are one of the brilliant ones in the world. I say this because when they go abroad to study, they find it easy to settle there and they obtain the best of jobs there. to be accepted among the best jobs abroad, you have to be really excellent. Mauritian are very intelligent people! Maybe, not so intelligent afterall... keep reading to know why:
A mauritius without any natural resources having the ability to produce brilliant students.. but what do the so-called brilliant student do? They drain mauritius' resources, in terms of labour, to another country! We mauritians toil hard to pay through taxes for your education and at the end how do they repay us? by leaving the country to help other countries progress!! They are not even considerate of their parents and families. They leave everything for another country.. for money! you cannot say they have a better life there because mauritius has the better quality of life in my opinion. thats why we call mauritius a paradise!
Not only the student emigrate to another country, but people in their 40s also think they will have a better life abroad. The reality is they have to work as slave to be able to cope. most of them have 2 jobs and they also have to go/pay for a university to be able to stay in that country (the university itself rips off the few money those poor mauritians had!). well, after some years, they may think they have earned millions of rupees, but their dept is also high. housing depts, automobile depts, etc. Their earning may look like millions of rupees when converted to our currency, but they still live a beggers life there! They are so indulged into their struggle that they cannot come out of it! You will always hear people saying 'nou ale ramass cass dehors apres nou retourner nou amizer'.. well, how many people do you know that actually earned a lot and that actually came back to mauritius to enjoy? none to my knowledge!
Also, who will pay for your parent's pensions?? the taxpayers you would say? who are the tax payers? the working people, right? but then, many people are emigrating the country and therefore not enough tax payers to pay for your parents' pensions!!!!! And you know whats worse?? When they go abroad, they are paying the pensions of the elders of THAT country!! Guess where the country is going..
Mauritius acquired its independence but some people preferred to stay as slave. Therefore, it is futile to wish those slaves a happy independence day, right ? But nevertheless, for the sake of, lets wish everyone a happy independence day.. who knows they might get their independence after reading this.
Leave a comment below of what you think and let us hear your point of view..
