The Crazy Dangers of "SINGLE STORIES"

Ignoring the fact that there are decent girls in the Universities who do not prostitute themselves and keep sugar daddies….. “SINGLE STORY”

A group of Igbo men are involved in money laundering, and then someone concludes that all Igbo men are therefore MONEY LAUNDERERS….That’s a “SINGLE STORY”
Some people from Enugu-Ezike in Enugu state are fetish and pay visits to demonic personalities; therefore, everybody from Enugu-Ezike is involved in Fetish acts….DAMN! That’s a “SINGLE STORY”

Few guys in ESUT are cultist; therefore, any guy who is in ESUT or attended ESUT is a CULTIST…..What? Somebody lied…. “SINGLE STORY”

Hausa men who live close to you are members of Boko Haram sect; therefore, all Hausa men are members of Boko Haram….common...That’s not true…. “SINGLE STORY”

Few Nigerian guys who use the internet are involved in internet fraud; therefore, Nigerian guys who use the internet are involved in internet fraud….FAT LIE!!... “SINGLE STORY”

Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity. When we get the wrong, untrue and conclusive stories about others, we align our mindset to these stories which destroys our relationship with others and it brings about prejudice and discrimination. We all need to change. Thank you.
