The world we occupy is vast and fascinating. The paths we walk are framed and mostly mapped. The questions we ask have detours and answers. The future we need is possible and discoverable.

While enrolled as passionate volunteers in various units of such organisations, many members of FBOs may be able to develop their innate talent, team skills, as well as build valuable community for personal, social and business success. Even in the midst of economic recession, FBOs have demonstrable capacity to garner support through regular membership subscriptions. With efficiently managed human resource and financial resource pools, FBOs execute value-adding community and infrastructural projects while others build viable business models that create employment. Moreover, the many incidences of local government failure in social welfare maximisation has

Business practices that brought damages to our humanity, shared prosperity and environment cannot sustain our development. Governance systems and social systems that continually widen the gap between the poor and rich, cannot sustain global peace and partnerships. When I speak of good governance, it is not an analysis limited to  national and global considerations only. Good governance parameters should, of optimal necessity be in five (5) dimensions:   ■ Good self governance ■ Good household governance ■ Good corporate governance ■ Good state governance ■ Good global governance Let us rethink to reconstruct all limiting culture, structure, infrastructure and intrastructure in our governance systems, thereby save the planet.
