It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. – Audre Lorde
Being born in an era where our great fault lines, ethnicity and religion are pronounced, part of the Millennials, Generation Z and Generation Alpha have not experienced fully or any programme aimed at facilitating national unity. Most have not interacted with Nigerians other than their kind or travelled to other parts of the country. It is a looming impediment to our national unity and development; more so, there is a less human connection as the world has gone digital.
The programme has four components: Work Placement, Education, Community Service and Fellowship. The component that stands out for me is the Fellowship; here, Fellows are required to live together under one roof for one year.The experience has been life-changing; it changed many narratives for other fellows and me.
Now imagine a mini-Nigeria, agreeing, developing, planning, funding, and executing a project. Truly we experienced just that; however, we gained a mindset shift; we learned there is strength in our diversity and realized that putting humanity at the center of our purpose blurs our differences and highlights the power in our variety. For this experience, I am grateful to the visionary of the KIF programme, Malam Nasir El-Rufa’i.
The problem is not rhetorical messages like this, it's practical experience of our set up, while those who failed to this rhetoric void of truth continues to be victims to extinctions. We should do away all this, while we try other options because no progress without agreement.
