Before I attempt an explanation of the effects of inequality to a given society, permit me to first of all define what I think is inequality. From the Findings of this writer, I can say that inequality refers to the phenomenon of unequal distribution of resources and opportunities among members of a given society. In this definition, we can all perceive a litany of problems that emanate from the practice of inequality. If not all, many wars, social conflicts and battles around the world have taken their rise from inequality. The evil behind this phenomenon should not be down looked by humanity as a whole and leaders in particular because the stability and prosperity of any Nation lies on the manner in which resources and opportunities are shared among the people.
To explain further, equality is a cankerworm that has divided families, meeting groups, communities and to an extent, it has disintegrated Nations. Once a human being feels cheated, abandoned and forgotten, the quest to change the course of event becomes inevitable. It puzzles this free thinker why some people deprive others the opportunity to live well as they do when they know and they have seen that no matter what we amass to ourselves in this world, we cannot bribe death when it comes knocking at our doors steps. It is not difficult to understand that when we share equitably among ourselves, peace is guaranteed effortlessly but when we foster inequality, trouble looms in the horizon but yet we still afford to do the wrong thing. Why ?
Let me at this juncture, highlight some other demerits of inequality. When youths of a certain area always succeed in public exams and others fail even when they are qualified, what will that produce ? If a certain area has all the best basic amenities at the expense of other areas, what will that lead to ? A Nation can only achieve absolute peace and prosperity if the natural resources, economic power, political positions, infrastructural projects, educational facilities and employment opportunities of that Nation are equally distributed among its people. As a Nation, let us think wisely and transform our beautiful Cameroon a heaven on earth to all it's sons and daughters.
