Following different mythologies and legends, humans evolved and developed from dust, lower animals or combining matter exploding perfectly into living forms. There are tolls which we pay heavily for -even though we acquired them without asking- and culture is one if such tolls. When we are born, our tongues are coated in in sweet languages native to our parents or foreign to their fathers but adopted by them. We are coated in unique sayings and traditions like one which prompts a man to spill palm wine on earth before sipping his own.

Culture is a tag printed upon our foreheads, giving us identity -sometimes with relics of scars bearing grudges ready to rupture. In all the world, we are unique because we are people of different cultures, coexisting. Even those who claim to be modern folks have found a new pattern of living, associating with and accepting others their type; a new culture.

Diversity in culture is a delicious meal no one will serve you. How so? Over the years, the picture of cultural diversity we are made to envision reveals: no hope in the unity of people, sporadic tribal clashes, age long strife and sentiments.
We'l never be told of an era when Our Fathers, irrespective of their tongues and whatever marks they bore on their faces, came, sat, to eat and drink from the same bowl of reasoning. An era when in oneness of purpose, they dropped their cultural regalia to strive for the green-white-green fabric to be seen on their skins, in raised flags and in all they do. Do I hear you murmur "Oh that era is gone!"? Well, rebirth exists for reasons such as this.

Diversity is a dish of Miyan Tashe which Obi dips his rolled balls of Akpu (foo-foo) in, a dish of Gbegiri that Musa eats his Tuwo swallows with. Diversity is a masquerade of colours held in awe for we know it can amuse with its energetic display and lash with its cane. We bear the consequences of whichever action we cause it to take for we are humans meant to guide the paths spirits like masquerade tread on our lands -though they be owners of the soil as well.

Like Dike Chukwumerije would say, "No culture is older than being human". Be human! Embrace diversity!
