Are there any Omoluabi again?
where are the Omoluabis of yore ?
Omoluabi is Yoruba expression that describe the upright
When one was growing up we were taught how to respect elders, greet and dress decently. we wre also told not to take what does not belong to us.
we grew up with all these in our heart but somehow along the line something snapped ,we who were trained by all elders in our community started imbibing European ideas our children must not be corrected even by teachers we pay to train them.
here we are today with children who does not even speak our language talk less of understanding our language and culture.
so omoluabi is finally lost, everyone behaving as s/he likes. you find indecent dressing by men and women, young and old on our streets now.IF you wear Yoruba dress you must put on a cap, not these days, even to official functions, its like saying a Briton in 3 piece suit without a tie and shoe to match.
The way you dress portrays you, carefree, responsible or otherwise. our young men now wear ladies hair do. dreadlocks when you are not naturally dread-locked, some look like insane on the streets.
In the absence of Omoluabi what we have is what you see in high places today, people stealing government money without blinking an eye. Non to prosecute because birds of same feather they all are.
