Student Boycotts Are Reasonable Responses To Decades Long Government Coverups On How Bad PNG School have Become

Image
By CONCERNED PARENT Those who have studied overseas know in an instant how bad our PNG schools are, all the way to university level.    An article in PNG Blogs some time back ( http://www.pngblogs.com/2014/07/how-bad-are-papua-new-guineas.html ) revealed it in black and white rankings.     Our best PNG university, Divine Word, is worse than the best university in the failed state of Somalia.    Every time politicians speak at commencements they promise schools something that almost always is never delivered.    Parents in rural areas cry for new classrooms but say nothing about teachers to teach the children, or books that allow children to learn more than their teachers.   This year we have already seen a boycott by UNRE (former Vudal College) students over mismanagement at that institution.    UNRE is one of the worst ranked universities in the world.   Now we have a student strike at Polytech in Lae.   In all cases, the core issue is bad education.    The source o

David Cannings. His Human Rights application is due to be heard on 28 May 2015. Doctor Theo Yasause, former Climate Change boss and the former Chief of Staff to former Prime Minister Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare, has applied to Human Rights Track for the enforcement of his human and constitutional rights. Dr Yasause appeared in Court this week for a Directional Hearing heard by Justice On Friday the Post Courier reported ‘Yasause raises human rights issue’ whilst Radio New Zealand reported ‘Jailed PNG official files complaint’, however both media outlets did not report that Dr Yasause has applied to Human Rights Track for the enforcement of his human and constitutional rights. Human Rights Track, which is headed by 'Track manager' Justice David Cannings, is a recent development in the PNG Judicial system. “An interesting feature of our (PNG) Human Rights rules which we are informed is not found anywhere else in the world is the provisions in the rule whi

Eschatology: The Myth of End Times

By CASPER DAMIEN   “Don’t fall into the temptation of this world, this world is evil. God loves you, repent and be baptized again in the name of Jesus Christ and receive him in your life as your personal savior and you will be saved because the End of the World is near.”    The story of the End of the World or the Second Coming of Jesus is very interesting and at the same time it’s frightening. This topic is very much part of Christianity. All Christians believe the Second Coming of Christ and this world will come to end. It’s recorded that Christianity as a world religion has 2.18 billion Christians or followers of Jesus Christ in the world today. While the total population of the world is about 7.5 billion people. Besides Christianity as a world religion, other major religions of the world including Islam has 1.62 billion followers known as Muslims, Hinduism about 1 billion followers, Buddhism about 500 million followers and Judaism has about 15 million followers in the

THE PETER O'NEILL WAY

Image
 PNGBLOGS Yes, it's back to the nonsensical purchase of the Fokker 70, built 20 years ago by the bankrupt and long departed Fokker airline maker. All Fokker planes in Air Niugini's fleet are ancient: between 20-25 years old. Air Niugini still uses them because it's another money-losing SOE that through creative auditing and delayed financial reports, covers up its reality: It has no financial ability to buy new airplanes and is slowly heading down the financial toilet. In response, Peter O'Neill names failed businessman Sir Frederick Rieher the Chairman! You may remember the name Reiher. A few years back he was given K40 million to build 200 houses near Gerehu. He built 2 or 3 and that was it ( http://www.pngblogs.com/…/k40m-housing-project-contract-sho… ). We don't know for certain that he returned the money (naturally, he promised to. Even Paul Tientsen promises to return the money he stole), but we do know that he continued as a PM office

10 tricks that PNG politicians often use to manipulate and deceive Christians.

Image
By MISHA MUL I started writing this article awhile back but finished it after reading about how politicians are making so much noise about the american Bible.  I believe most of these politicians are not genuine but trying to make the right kind of noise during this event to get Christians to support them in 2017.   Today in PNG there are many con artist politicians who pretend to be trupla pasin Christians.  They manipulate and trick the real Christians into voting them.  As Christians we are vulnerable to this trickery because we are usually taught from early age to be God fearing, passive, obedient and to respect others.   If we respond as expected and become peaceful, trusting personalities, it can be easy for others to trick and manipulate us.   Con artist politicians know that if they get Christians on their side, they'll get many more votes and more easily reach fame and fortune.    As Christians, most of us would want to vote candidates who best share our Chri

Street Preaching: A Phenomenon of Attraction

By Casper Damien What are the effects and benefits of Street Preaching in PNG? It is a question that both Christians and non-Christians have to answer. Go to public places; markets, cities, towns and even busy populated areas in PNG, one would hear the so-called street preachers pumping their energy out with their preaching hoping that busy population would listen to them. For a moment, try to stop and listen to these so-called street preachers. What do you hear? Does these issues like HIV/AIDS, One World Government, Homosexuality, Technology, Disaster, Wars, Second coming of Jesus, makes sense to you? Is HIV/AIDS as a punishment from God? Are these issues like the wars, violence, and natural disasters direct punishment from God because humans have sinned?. Advancement of technology, One World Government and Homosexuality is a sign of the end times or the Second Coming of Jesus is near. This is what you hear from the street preachers. They firmly and convincingly will preach that you

PNG CHURCHES LARGELY IGNORING BIBLE DONATION AS OUR CORRUPT PM USES THE OCCASION TO PARADE HIMSELF AS PNG'S MOST GOD FEARING CHRISTIAN

Image
By Nelson Tendel The controversial King James I Bible, said by the government to be incredibly valuable and rare, yet photographed last week being carried around by PNG's receiving pastors like a common library book, finally had its day in PNG. Prime Minister Peter O'Neill, arguably the most corrupt PM in PNG history, formally received and made sure he was photographed with the holy book. PM used the occasion to convince gullible and unquestioning souls throughout the nation that he is a devout Christian, not a cunning mega thief who ignored Supreme Court orders to become PM and now uses every legal trick in the book to avoid allegations against him from having their day in court. Yes, this very special Bible is being successfully and impressively embraced by our most corrupt leaders while tens of thousands of PNG Christians look the other way. Isn't that the whole problem in PNG today? A very expensive and beautiful full page colour advert ran in The National last
