Phliosophy of Life

In Nigeria presently, the people desire leaders that shall inspire them in these challenging times.

But unfortunately, such leaders are yet to emerge. Indeed, a number of them have led their people astray to the extent that disillusionment, hopelessness and bitterness are now their lot.

In this interview with Federationews2day,the Ezendigbo of Ibadanand Oyo state,Eze(Dr.)AlexAnozie says tha his guiding light is truth and justice. Excerpts :

What is your philosophy of life ?

The first message on my philosophy of life and that is what has been guiding me is loving God, trusting God, and God alone.
This is in addition to loving my fellow human beings and my neighbors, irrespective of their religion, their ethnic affiliation, and their status in the society-rich or poor, literate or illiterate, I love everybody.
But those who are my best friends are those who believe in the truth and justice in every situation.
If I am confronted with any problem or worrisome situation with any individual, it is because I fight to defend truth and justice. These are the key ingredients that make up my philosophy of life.
In addition, I accord respect to everybody, irrespective of social or economic status, particularly when such a person is in that line of truth and justice. I respect such persons so much. Why, because before God, all of us are equal and everybody is important, even the foolish man or foolish woman is important, so I respect everybody. It may interest you to know that for the past 45 years or thereabout, I have been in this part of Nigeria, Ibadan, Oyo state, watching over my business and other areas, I cannot remember any day I had an exchange of dirty words with anybody, be it my friends, my neighbors, patients/customers. I cannot remember exchanging dirty words with anyone.

Everybody is free to make inquiries, whether I am saying the truth or telling lies.  It is not because I am perfect in all I do, because it is only God that is perfect in everything He does. It may be it is because I tolerate and endure reasonably enough. These are among the aspects that make up my philosophy of life.
philosophy of life.
And I think, one of the things that make this to be possible is that I always meditate on one of the commandments of God,  that states, 'Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself.'' So, I make sure that I put it into practice as much as possible.
And you know what, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is my God. As He was God to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, so He is God to me. As He was God to Joseph, so He is God to me. As He was God to Moses, so He is God to me.  As He was God to King David, so He is God to me. As He was God to King Solomon, so He is God to me.
All these great men of God went through several travails, my travails are nearly similar to theirs.
However, one aspect that is very worrisome to me, is that human beings have transformed from the human beings they ought to be to something else. Human beings are now killing one another. Human beings are now destroying one another, to the extent that it seems that animals value life more than human beings do.
