When prejudice, bias,
and racism (implicit/explicit) prevail, society at large loses. Many
talented people will be prevented from using their gifts to add value to
their community (organization, county, state, university, country,
etc.) while below par candidates are fielded and given chance to lead
with more of the same .. all because of "self-preservation" or
perception based on stereotype - students of history will never
participate in the stupidity of discrimination. More than enough
evidence to debunk any form of homo-superiority
The gains of
capitalism are the evidence of freedom - let there be an equal playing
field for all, let us create an equitable platform for all to thrive and
we will be beyond convinced that we are all equally blessed - the
environment and the opportunity are two of the factors that shape who we
become.
Let freedom reign wherever you find yourself ... #opportunity, #letfreedomreign, #allliveshouldmatter
I just came back from Nigeria . I traversed the length and breadth of the nation a bit in my three-week stay. Something is different about the country compared to when I visited last year.... The people are more desperate... Hunger has increased astronomically.... The gap between the haves and have-nots has further widened... You feel impunity in the air... You see police collecting bribes openly like we have not seen since the Shagari era in 1983... There are more law enforcement agents on the roads now, yet the crime rate has not abated... You see VIO , Road Safety, State Law enforcers, the Police, everywhere mounting illegal roadblocks... I heard things from those close to the seat of power about those who hold the reins of power, and I weep for Nigeria - it is beyond disheartening... Projects are being abandoned because a significant portion has been given as bribes to government officials like governors and ministers, including major monarchs - they all collect money for projects...
