This is a must read for all Nigerians....
''In 1989, I was about to get married and I was searching for a good house to rent. I met my landlord, an elderly lawyer who obviously did more real estate than legal practice.
He let me know that there were 3 categories of people he would not rent the property in his care to
-.Ijebus, Igbos and Lawyers.
I was disqualified on two accounts. He then said to me, pointing behind him in a few shrivelled-up books on a small bookshelf, that he had the arsenal to destroy any tenant in court if I gave him any trouble.
He later, to his embarrassment, discovered that I was a Law teacher and adviser to the then Attorney General of the Federation and that of course, I am also Ijebu.
I share this to illustrate the point that prejudice and bias are natural aspects of human nature. Everyone has prejudices and preferences that are reinforced by stories and narratives''.

ReplyDeleteMeaning,people will act in an ethical manner and consciousness but it ain't bad just thay it is what their life experiences have taught them and they are just taking caution and we should understand that and see it as being normal or part of the human nature.
ReplyDeleteThanks, thought it was that obvious, but then... we sometimes 'see' what we are or thinking.
