Read this awesome 'Beauty in our Differences' by Adenopo Adesegun

There is a war coming

It isn’t a religious war

Nor an ethnic war

It is neither a tribal war

Nor a war of a group

It is however a war between those who value humanity

and those who are selfish in their doings.

It is a war between those who truly say the truth the way it seems

and those who hide under the cloak of tribalism..

We live in a world of deceit, so many unfortunate events here and there,

Are these truly the way they are or are they just schemes to make some individual’s plan seem fair.

We cannot solve a problem from the same consciousness that created it.

We must learn to see the world anew.

We must learn to see things for their true natures.

we must learn to differentiate our true leaders from the selfish vultures…

We must learn to not be taken by the floods created by some greedy person all at the expense of our bloods……

Until we see that which we missed already

until we pause and think to understand why we fight whenever ready.

Of no reason, in little season, we destroy ourselves in a bid of pleasing

but we might later find out that we all have been deceived into believing that the reason for our differences was to create a rift to burn out our influences.

The influence we have on each other…..

But in all, please do see the beauty in our differences…

cos a rainbow wouldn’t be so beautiful if it hadn’t colors in differences…

‪Nigeria shall be great‬ see the beauty in our differences…
