Diversity here; diversity there; diversity everywhere! Africans, it seems that is what kills us unknowingly, or contributes largely to our underdevelopment. If unchecked, it breeds selfishness and in the end, kills empathy for our fellows, and finally leaves us indifferent, even to the troubles and plights of our own people.
But we need to understand, that however different other persons are from us, they are also humans, with needs and feelings like us. If we need love, they also need love. If we need help, they need help too. If we have need of a sense of respect for us, then they also need respect as well.
Africans, it is time to love each other like one people. That will make it impossible for man to murder his fellow man. Selfishness will also be extinguished. Then, the way will be paved for true development.
Ghana, unite!
Africa, unite!
The world, let us unite!
