Source Of Man

What's the Source of life? God!

What's the root of mankind? Adam and Eve from God.

What's the origin of man? We can not really tell!

That's the fact?

A research was carried out recently on about 50 people from various Nations.

After DNA was carried out on many of them, the Researchers discovered that, each of the people under this test were carrying the gene from various other Nations that they couldn't identify with.

A particular guy from the Middle East, who couldn't stand Europeans, had European gene in him.

Many Black skinned people had the genes from all round the world, while inclusive.

It was a test carried out to encourage tolerance and discourage racism. Nice one!

Coming back home. I'm an Ijesha man, and so proud to be one. Both Parents are Ijesha. But, I've never lived in my home town except on several holidays while young. But, many people who do not know this, after meeting me for the first time, always think that I'm an Igbo man. The same thing for so many Ijesha people, they always look like Igbo people too. And Ijesha people always do business like Igbo men. Infact, Ijeshas are the Igbo people of the Yoruba race in so many ways.

Recently, there were relations of many Lagosians being originated from Edo. That's not even a surprise, it is a serious possibility.

My Dad spoke Hausa so well in his days, and I remember he always says that many Yoruba words are alike with Hausa words. That's true too.

Many Hausas relate and are related to Niger Republic. Why?

Many South Easterners are well related to the Cameroonian. Why?

Many Yorubas are related to Benin Republic. Why?

On and on like that!

And, it is a very small world too. 

A Colleague of mine in my first experience in politics in Ekiti State in 2010, Adekunle Hagler Dada, with whom I was very formal because of work. (I'm always very formal at work). I met Hagler at my own family function a few years after we all departed that office. He wandered what I was doing there, I wandered same. Hagler knew all my older siblings, except me. I knew all Hagler's close family, but we didn't know we were related.

Hagler's Mum had the same blood as my own Dad.

That, is life. We became more than Colleagues from that day.

Where are we from really?

We are all ONE under God.

I guarantee, there's no one who knows, truly, his/her source, root or origin except in God alone.

Let's love ourselves people.

Let's just love ourselves.

Do good always. It may be some good done to your own self.

Selah.
