O le tofa ma fa’autaga a Samoa sa fesufia’i i ona maota ma malaefono pe a fōnoa. E fālē le ‘anofale o nu’u ae talatala ai pona o finagalo ma lagona.
Ae ua lē o lea i lenei vaitau. Ua mātele iā Facebook e fa’aleo ai le loto maa’a. Ua mātele iā Live stream e tu’i pala ai e le isi Samoa le isi Samoa.
Ua mātele iā TikTok e si’i ai le tā aga’i i ta’ita’i o aiga, nuu ma ekalesia.
The wisdom and counsel of Samoa used to be extracted and expressed in our traditional houses and meeting grounds when called upon.
The people of the village would gather to unravel the fastened bonds of thoughts and emotions.
But it doesn’t seem as so these days.
Facebook has become the platform to show our stubbornness. Live streams have become the platform to crush our fellow Samoa people.
TikTok has become the platform to strike the leaders of our families, villages, and churches.
Samoa, let us return to the humble beginnings of our posts and stone pebbles which laid the foundations of our homes.
Enough embarrassment on social media.
SAMOA MO SAMOA.
OUR ANCESTORS WEREN’T ABOUT THE NOISE.
THEY WERE ABOUT ACTION WITH HUMILITY.
