Comment on Human Right # 4 – No Slavery: Questioning the Verity of the Abolition of Slavery by Samuel Duru

@Danna: Thanks for reiterating the fact that the evil of slavery exists around us, yet we keep quiet and do nothing. Also, thank you for reminding us that we shouldn’t wait for the Big Brother (the government) to do all that we need to do in order to put an end to this escalating evil. Leaving Big Brother to shoulder this problem alone will exacerbate the lot of millions of innocent children who deserve better lives. Worthy of praise also, is your mention of the need for parents to properly mold their children so that they will become responsible members of the community.

@Comrade Okonta: Thank you comrade for pointing out that the negligence of citizens’ rights to good and affordable lifestyle is the soil upon which social evils like, kidnapping, Boko Haram bombing, poor governance, inept public service and the likes, thrives. More so, thanks for stating the relevance of CSR in uplifting communities.

@David: Thank you David for identifying extreme poverty and its concomitant effect: desperation, as the major reason why parents haul their children to hawk on the streets. Truly, access to free education for children and provision of viable alternatives such as live-skills, employment, etc for parents are vital to reversing this tragic reality.

@Rabiu: I completely agree with you that poverty eradication is pivotal to ending all forms of modern day slavery. I like your mention of “mental slavery” which has also bedeviled many in our society, mainly as a result of hardship and not having basic education. I appreciate your input.

@Nubi: Child slavery has really become common place in our society, the reason being that we care less and act less. Thanks for reiterating the need for all hands to be on deck for result-oriented action in ensuring that children are raised in an atmosphere that guarantees their optimum and harmonious development. Thank you for the insightful contribution.

@Hajdi: Thanks for sharing those touchy videos. In all honesty, the education of the child should command the greatest attention.

Comment on We need Peace by Abel

A human being is part of the whole, called by us the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty

I read your essay and remembered Marthin Luthers word. it came close to my heart that we need peace. In a real sense all life is inter-related. All persons are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly…we are all links in the great chain of humanity. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the inter-related structure of reality. We have before us the glorious opportunity to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of our civilization
