'To Restore the Dignity of Man'. Whenever I ponder over these words, I remember my Roommates who use to rain curses on those who threw away or lost this 'Dignity' that has not been restored over many years now as they think. They do this whenever they come back from marathon studies, especially when they find it difficult to grab what they have read. Hear them: 'na only God go punish all those people way throw away this dignity way dey suffer us to restore since, way no gree restore. Make they beta bringam back so that we no go dey suffer o!' It sounds funny abi? Yes I suppose. But this is a myopic view of it. Obviously, our dignity was lost during the 'Slave Trade' when the Caucasians treated us as non-humans by using us to do 'Drudgery work' in their plantations in the Western Europe. With reference to one of the theories of Race: 'Biological theory', they (Caucasians) see the blacks as people with inferior 'Gene' pool, thus inferior in mental ability. But this is a prejudice painted as science, because it has not yet been scientifically proved. To restore this dignity prompted the establishment of UNN as the first indigenous University followed by others to enlighten and train manpower that will help in the development of the African continent and to prove to 'these people' that we too can do more than them, with reference to the fact that Civilization actually started from Egypt where they borrowed their science and technology. The onus lies on us most especially the students to make ourselves better to face the world's challenges especially in terms of human and capital development. We should stop seeing these people as 'demi-gods', but as partners in progress and strive to achieve our greatness as human beings. How do you restore this dignity as an individual
