Dear friends a Nigerian writer, Odimegwu Onwumere has disproved Martin Luther King Jr.’s legendary statement which states that, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Onwumere writes that King Jr. Was not correct.
He captioned the Essay
The blind and the elephant:
Injustice and justice differ from one village to another, from one town to another, by ethical injunctions and from one political sovereignty to another. What may seem as unfair or undeserving treatment in one clime might be the beginning of justice and its outcomes in another clime and vis-à-vis.
Proverbially speaking, justice and injustice are like the elephant in the eyes of the blind. The blind can only define an elephant from the side he or she is allowed to touch. Thus, the great Martin Luther King Jr. was a blind man in the definition of justice and injustice without considering social, religious, ethical, traditional, political, economical and sundry differences around the world.
