The founding elite and vision bearer of Safeguard Humanity Foundation informed by personal human experiences addressing the elites of the foundation at the inaugural ceremony said: “The enormity of the human risk-challenges of our time has terribly subjugated humanity to untold hardships and sufferings, and like never before, imposing on the Human Life, Dignity, and Integrity, a perilous existential threatening degradation-redoubtably beyond recall and imagination. While these extra-ordinary dangerous human experiences are the concerns of both international and domestic governments and leaderships, they are the primary concerns and main focus of Safeguard Humanity Foundation, and have not only necessitate its inevitable establishment, but chiefly shaped the organization’s mission and vision, aim, purpose and objectives, principal goals, philosophical views and cultural values”[1]
Going further he said: I have encountered amongst the peoples, the painful and ugly face of human degradation; the danger of insecurity, human rights abuses, he tortures of famine and poverty at its best and often weaponized. Diseases projected, deaths fostered by wars and culpable ignorance and the degradation of the human life. The cruelty of man against his fellow men: domestic violence, rape, teenage pregnancy, and the great ordeals of countless homeless men and women and children living in slums, the surge of hungry beggars, refugees and displaced persons hopelessly loitering the streets and suburbs of the world-driven from their homes by the menace of insurgence and terrorism, strives and wars, living in poverty, and an environment so terribly polluted without food, care, dignity and hope. The crippling and despicable-poor quality education in the offering for young peoples, a host of them driven from learning for lack of financial assistance and then, the heinous insecurity, the kidnapping, the murders, the robbery and the endless myriads of other deplorable human conditions destroying the beauty and integrity of humanity and making development seemingly uneasy or rather impossible-the results of which are the rascality and sabotage of humanity ultimate attaining its ultimate goals, fullness potential and nobility ”[2]
