We have grown so lazy that we consume whatever thing that is fed to us by social media, government or professionals in whatsoever field that may be, without doing our personal research. That is not the problem. The problem arises when some cabals or government officials tries to control the information you get access to. The censoring of social media content by face book and Instagram are evidence of my assertion. This censorship has limit us from getting the correct information that is void of government or cabal's narrative. For these reasons, it necessitate one to do a personal research on issues or subject that are important to one's life. Finance, region and health are some important areas I think I should do a personal research on.

The year 2020 was one year that was characterised by panic, fear and uncertainty as everyone relies on government for information and direction to do anything. Covid 19 was a new sickness and it present a new reality of ways of doing things. Every one rely on government for information. Health becomes everyone top most priority. And they were contradicting information on the cause, cure, vaccine and the conspiracy theories of depopulating the earth. One needed to have done a personal research on health issues to know the fact for oneself.
Finance and investment is one area one need to often do personal research on. One need to be updated on the current trend on investment and financial changes happening in the world. The world is a global village where one can tap from different economy possibilities without continental or countries boundaries. Just recently my country band exchange in banks with Cryptocurrency . Pushing the narrative that it is used for fraud. And that crypto is not a viable currency. Without personal research on this area one cannot decipher the falsehood in their claim which is clouded by greed.
The importance of personal research cannot be overemphasized, especially where religion is used by the elite or politician as a weapon to gain political patronage. The churches and mosques with the help of imams and pastors have been the ground, for the spread of false information that create unrest and conflict. Education at a personal level which is achieved by personal research help one to make informed decision on his or her religious life without being manipulated by anyone.
