Prof olagoke Over the ages, absolute power was discovered to corrupt absolutely, similarly, absolute freedom could as well lead an individual astray through its overbearing nature with tendencies to become overbearing. This usually manifests in the patriarchal setting wherein women's rights are most of the time trampled upon. This is why gender mainstreaming becomes an issue to promote inclusiveness for a better world order where stigmatization and marginalization shall be completely absent.
Curtailed freedom becomes an issue of abuse if the searchlight is on probing the activities of the slave trade experience.
In this light, freedom, and independence have a direct correlation through which a nation can be assessed. Nations, where corruption and institutional indiscipline thrive, will ever depend on foreign services through loans and debts by successive governments. This would bring in its wake political instability as a result of poverty and its attendant consequences such as armed robbery, ritual killings, insurgency, pickpocketing, terrorism among several others.

The essence of child-rearing and natural nurturing through formal and informal education to the point of adulthood for maturity, professionalism for the right career. The child is given the opportunity to enjoy freedom and independence to be able to be a change agent or a game-changer in the scheme of transforming progressively.
Any nation that fails to develop the youth in the right way will ever deny them the right to freedom and independence with the consequence of lagging behind in the committee of nations and a much dire consequence on its people not being able to cope in the world of global competitiveness.
In the final analysis, freedom as a primary condition of enjoying civil liberty must be the behavioral objective of culture, education, and religious exercises for political gladiators to emerge in a society where freedom is sacrosanct for the right and accelerated development.
