Unity, diversity, and garri
<p>If we were all the same, the world would be a very boring place. I think our differences make us more interesting and make life worth living. Imagine if everyone was from Akwa Ibom; I don't think man's best friend will still be dogs. One man's pet is fit de another man plate!!! If you don't get it, forget about it!!! <span style="background-color: transparent;">When you find yourself in places with diverse people, it's best to use your head and speak responsibly. For clarity, freedom of speech is still speaking with restraint. Confused? We can't always articulate what we mean directly. If we always do, we may lose more than our tongue.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">I'm sure if you gave every Nigerian the opportunity to say something about another tribe, we'd probably start a war on Twitter and have bodies on the streets before midnight. It's okay to reserve your reservations about specific attributes common in certain people. Unless we're guys and the coast is clear, I'd probably not mention something about your state or people that might offend you. Tease responsibly. It prevents us from going band to band. You'll need to learn how to read the room. What you say in your classroom may cause minor friction between classmates, but in public transport, person fit comot your teeth.</span></p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/unity-in-divesity-2-1024x768.png"><span style="background-color: transparent;"></span></p><p>Say your mind, but mind what you say. Remember, it's easy to take things out of context. We shouldn't always look at people as groups. Like a wise Edo babe once said, stereotypes deprive you of experiencing people. In line with no gree for anybody, you're free to respond in kind to statements you don't like, ooo. Be the bigger person, but let them know you don't appreciate what was mentioned. Be the war and the indabosk!</p><p>Some people like white garri, and others like yellow garri. Don't shove your opinion down our throats! In the end, garri is a unifier and doesn't discriminate. Unity in diversity remains vague and a noble dream until we first understand and appreciate diversity.</p><p>PS: A garri inspired post.</p>
