Diversity and Inclusion- Working in hope brings the best out of others
It baffles me sometimes when I think about diversity and inclusion in terms of how we relate to one another.It also baffles me that even some very highly travelled and educated people , still feel that our differences could be points of so many high and lofty arguments that could lead to giganmous fights about who gets to good or beautiful places.It still baffles me that in this century some people still feels that even if you are the best gifted ,you need to be thrown into the bin with your gifts at all costs, just to score needless points that you are not good enough. It baffles me that such people still feel that rubbishing other people with their useful gifts, is better than allowing them to make a living from their gifts and bless society, because of their own lines of thoughts, that these guys do not fit in.
It still baffles me that such people do this in this present world, that you do not have to be there, because you do not fit into their own descriptions of what a human being should be. It still baffles me that in this century a difference in opinion someone expressed can make another person to see them as enemies, even without meeting them or engaging them in useful conversations , to understand who they are and what they are thinking. You do not jump into conclusions about people or what they can do wrong or the negative they intend to do , just by mere speculations and stereotyping and then try to actually bully them into the stereotypical places your mind thinks that they should be. That's an archaic practice and line of thinking ,such lines of thoughts make it impossible to get the best out of others, hence we need to always thread carefully on how we throw stones at innocent people, because of conclusions based on stereotyping and hearsays, bringing the innocent to places of pain and shame. And it baffles me that some people can actually remove goodness from others because of hearsays. In living a lifestyle of nobility , having a little consideration for others is what it means to be noble, it is good to see and understand other people as humans .It is good to consider others in the things we do , knowing that none of us brought ourselves here or brought anything to this world.If you are asking someone to buy a pair of classy shoes today ,maybe he was in the hospital when the request was made or maybe he didnot have any money at that point .He has to wait until he has the grace to be able to do that, because every human is here by grace.We are humans with little knowledge of who we are or even how we came here or where we come from , but we all live by hope. Diversity means that we just need to accept each other and work at getting the best from each other.Still writing about diversity and inclusion, it is love that brings people to a place of accepting others even with the differences.It is love that brings people to speak to others in calm reassuring voices , that make them to come to the points of accepting our own thoughts about life. Hence love your neighbour as you love yourself.I have lived and interacted with people of different races, faith and colours in London and sometimes I am surprised at the different ethnicities and the love some of the people share with others. Some try to make life beautiful for strangers and these are the awesome people , who live out their faith as a lifestyle. But I am baffled at the other people who actually make money by landing other people in difficult places .These other group have failed to understand that we are humans from the same place, even with our different locations.Accepting the diverse nature of London means that ,many Londoners have matured and moved on and away from situations of thinking that others are not humans, just because they do not fit into our own lines of thought about being humans.Some Londoners share so much love with their neighbours and they are always there to help .They smile and wave to everyone and that is the spirit of love and understanding, a lifestyle that is needed in our communities across the world today .Diversity focuses on the presence of the differences, while inclusion ensures that all individuals feel valued, respected, and have equal access to opportunities. Working in hope helps us to bring the best out of other people.
Converging even when different-The Truth about diversity and celebrations

We will be going down the memory lane to show some of the events that promote love, diversity and inclusion among Londoners .One of such events is the Ibo day celebration and I will be showing some of the images of those who came for the event in 2022-Fostering the spirit of love and joy. Celebrations are times when we gather together in the spirit of love to be joyful about goodness and laugh together, they are better than the times of our needless fights and arguments .They are times when we heal from our rifts and angers over the minute and the meaningless.
The diversity of expressions is very important in understanding our societies and the way people are thinking, helping in fostering unity, love and and having an understanding of where we merge as humans, despite our differences. It helps to make a truce and good decisions that help us to know that even if we are different, we can all get along and be grateful for everything given to us as humans and not look at what makes us different. That is what makes the world beautiful in the differences of our languages ,races, colour and faith , we can still have our talking points without feeling different or alienating one another.
Held yearly, the Ibo day highlights not only the richness of the Ibo culture, but also the essential role of intercultural dialogue for achieving peace and sustainable development especially in the United Kingdom. The 2022 year’s celebration took place at a park in North London.
Why does cultural diversity matter?
Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. Bridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace, stability and development. Friction happens in communities when people fail to understand one another.But events like this make us to gather together and bring our friends to know one another and share in what makes us different , bridging the gaps of misunderstandings caused by not sharing our different values and getting to know and understand each other's points of views in the way we are living and thinking.
Diversity is a driving force for peace and development, not only with respect to economic growth, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual life.When people fight ,they destroy what has been built for years already . Destroying what has been built already causes wastages,losses,heartaches and sometimes those involved in the fights can only live to tell their tales in afterlife, making the conflict ventures not very meaningful.
