Akeem Bello (VP Candidate of Nigeria) and Thelma Horton (Proj Mgr with Stop Hunger Now): Bringing Abundance, Prosperity and Peace to Nigeria
Dear Friends and Colleagues -
Nigeria is a nation of great contradictions. It’s the 8th largest oil producing country in the world, yet almost 75% of its refineries are shut down. Nigerians are individuals who embody pride and courage,
yet their nation has become characterized by corruption, ethnocentrism and sectarianism. Akeem Bello, however, has a vision for unifying Nigeria into one nation, with shared values and purpose, where merit comes first before privilege. On this episode of Diversity Matters, join co-hosts Richard Friend and Judy Seidenstein as Mr. Bello discusses how his vision for Nigeria is a model for inclusion from which businesses, organizations, communities and the rest of the world can learn.
Akeem shares how he was “called home” to Nigeria after living in the United States in order to “Bring Nigeria into a Newer Dawn.” Bello founded the Grace Medical Centre in 1990 which provides needed medical care to the poorest populations in Lagos. Now, as the New Democrats’ (ND) candidate for Vice President on the Odidi-Bello campaign ticket, Akeem Bello strives to unify Nigeria as a tool for promoting inclusion throughout the region, nation, continent and the world.
Judy and Richard also discuss the humanitarian efforts of Thelma Horton, who as Project Manager with Stop Hunger Now is mobilizing efforts to bring 100,000 meals to impoverished school children in Kanu Nigeria. By feeding the children during school, Stop Hunger Now creates an incentive for parents to send both boys and girls to school by guaranteeing them a hot, nourishing meal each day. In this way, both the inequity of hunger and education are addressed.
Given Diversity Matters’ commitment to building connections between the workplace and the world at large, Akeem Bellow and Thelma Horton share how their independent strategies for positive change in a nation with as many challenges as Nigeria can contribute to the quality of life for us all.
