It is true that in a society people have various beliefs, practices and expressions that are unique to members of a specific ethnicity or race.
However, these cultural differences should not lead to clashes as it will separate us from each other, according to Georgina Onuoha.
There have been unrest in different parts of the country as some feel they are being marginalised because they are not from a particular ethnic group. When this happens, there will be h atred which will eventually lead to conflict.
Sharing photos of herself with daughters dressed in a different ethnic attire, Georgina Onuoha wrote:
“Cultural differences should not separate us from each other,
but rather cultural diversity brings a collective strength that can benefit all of humanity.
We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin,
but we all belong to one human race.
Difference is of the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. The answer to difference is to respect it. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity.
Creating memories with my girls.
