DNB Gallery: #BeHuman

I am Igbo,
 

But I’m human first.

I am Hausa,

But I’m human first.

I am Yoruba,

But I’m human first.

I am a Christian,

But I’m human first.

I am a boy,

But I’m human first.

I am African,

But I’m human first.

I am a Muslim,

But I’m human first.

I am a girl,

But I’m human first.

I love my God,

But I am human first.

I love my land,

But I am human first.

I love my life,

Because I am HUMAN.

But what’s a human?

Look below!


 
Say no to LABELSjust be HUMAN!

  1. Thanks Victor. If only we realize we all humans and forget about the dividing labels.
    My wife just gave birth.
    "Wow, boy or girl?" Stupid question!
    She gave birth to another human.
    Babies don't know their gender, their religion or even their tribe. All they know is that they are babies and therefore bond better.
    This is lovely.

  2. When the world at large begin to realise the fact that we are all humans and same, then, this world will be a better place to live in
