I am a Nigerian born in her own land. I am proud of my colour. I dont segregate from people based on mere physical factors like age, colour, nationalities, race and all, but by the age of their ideas, compatibilty of values and all. its just a pity that as much as globalization has brought us closer, some still live in a shallow-minded pit, called racism. Anyways, I am guided and influenced by my culture, music and values. I love travelling across the globe to discover the diverse cultures, races, minor and major ethnics, religions and ways people define beauty. I come from a minor ethnic group situated in the north-central region of Nigeria, its called Okun. its a shame though minor but 30% of Nigerians know where that is. I am a christian, and that though might shape but not total control of my political ideology. I am a realist, i view things the way they appear and at the same time, i dont believe in all what i see.
Knowledge is power, just because some nations have power, they are conceived to have wisdom. Hmmm! i wonder.We have, i fear confused power with greatness. As some said, the sole advantage of power is that you can do more good, nah, "power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely"- Lord Action 1887. How do we get the men of power to live for the public and not off the public. I seriously wonder.
Thanks to TIGed for this opportunity to express our minds, and to learn about these diverse cultures, races and ethnics within our own borders. I am Solomon Bukola Motunrayo, a woman of power in the making, a woman of virtues. Enchante!
Je suis le prochain chef de l'Afrique
