Whisper onto futher understanding: SLAVERY to SURPLUS
For many of us we have seen slavery, not always in similar ways but in a dimension that has caused us to question the probability of our rise or revival as part of our daily living .It is such pondering that can end the event of turn around and place a ban of positivity.

Simplicity Personified: "If I hadn't met you and had just heard your voice, I'd think you were white...."
So today I was told by a friend that I sound white, I don’t sound black and that I talk ‘different’ (bear in mind people, this friend is white). If I had a penny for every time someone told me that my voice and the way I talk didn’t match my face, I’d definitely be a millionaire. This statement…

Illiberal Liberalism - By Chinasa Nkwoji
Illiberal Liberalism.
So being liberal is currently a trending fashion. People want to be seen as welcoming and open minded about anything that is foreign of who they are; like other cultures, races, lifestyles, even down to tastes in movies. These days, the most innocent of prejudices could provoke society into a witch-hunt. Politicians and other individuals in the public eye are given the role of championing liberalism, whether or not they like it. Any objection to this social appointment could result in society turning its back on you. Take, for example, how heavily Jack Straw was condemned for claiming that Pakistani men saw young white girls as ‘easy meat’ for grooming – a view with which I personally concur.
This is not a mocking attack against our liberal society. This is merely a wake-up call. Liberalism is in danger of reversing all the human progress it has brought so far. This is because ‘liberalism’ today is in danger of becoming dangerously illiberal. This may seem impossible; it’s almost like calling (something funny) I’ll explain.
Liberalism entails having an open mind to different ideas, or at least considering them all as viable until proven otherwise. Liberalism does NOT entail coercing everyone else into be liberal. A true liberal should be unperturbed by notion of someone else holding illiberal views. In fact, a true liberal should even consider the illiberal view as a possible option for themselves. Only after considering it, and finding a reason to dismiss the illiberal view – maybe due to possible consequences or just basic intuition – will one truly know that they are a liberal – in the area concerned.
This is definitely not the case today. We, as society, hold prejudices about those we consider illiberal. For example, the media never hesitate to belittle and ridicule the EDL, and any similar movements, at every opportunity. We now see people outraged that anyone can even consider being racist. The media is constantly on the prowl, ready to devour any individual or group who goes against our western ideals. This way, society begins to discriminate against any non-liberals, which flies in the face of all liberalism stands for – hence the term ‘illiberal liberalism’. I personally, am a liberal conservative and am always ready to defend my position. I pride myself on the consistency of my liberal views, something which most people take for granted. What I am saying here is that I believe that people should be allowed to hold prejudices of any sort. These people and their ideas should be accepted by all who subscribe to liberalism. Letting these prejudices turn into discrimination is wrong -a proposition I assume we all consider true – so therefore liberals also should not be allowed to discriminate.
The thing with liberalism, with its cries for freedom and acceptance, is that it is a very volatile ideology and can easily spiral out of control – I’m sure we all know about cases of political correctness gone mad. I am not criticising liberals or the ideology; I am merely warning against becoming the devil we despise. Maybe this quote will help the non-political academics, or the non-academic, or just anyone who doesn’t study politics – “I detest what you say; but I will defend, till death, your right to say it” Francois Voltaire. I think all liberals should have that quote tattooed on their foreheads so they never forget what they stand for – my illiberal view right there.

Thanks to GOD for HAVING HIS WAY.
A song I wrote called ‘Have your way’. As humans, there is only so much we can do by ourselves, so we need to learn to depend on the most high who is sovereign and
forever faithful!
