OMOLUABI: THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE YARDSTICK !!
The concept of ‘Omoluabi’ in Yoruba moral parlance refers to a total wrap that covers the definition of a thorough-bread perfect gentleman. An ‘omoluabi’ is an epitome of high level integrity, dignity, sincerity, trustworthiness, kindness and selflessness.
By his action, relationship with others and spoken words, an ‘omoluabi’ is clearly identified and understood. When he promises, he fulfils. He does not betray trust, he does not disrespect people and never lies.
An ‘omoluabi’ does not use harsh, offensive, unacceptable or insulting words on anybody. He respects all, including his subordinates and spouse. He treats people with utmost courtesy and his is not rude, arrogant nor pompous. He is gentle, kind, friendly and considerate.
To b be an ‘omoluabi’, one is seen to have adapted perfectly, to the acceptable societal norms of any Yoruba community. Interestingly,these indicators of measuring who an ‘omoluabi is, are universal and tenable in any sane society but the foundation to learning them is the home.
The Yorubas pass them to their offsprings generation after generation and they never faded. Not having the traits of an ‘omoluabi’ in an individual is seen as been very unfortunate and disastrous, such individual may not be trusted with position of leadership, public service or children mentoring. The best that a man can be, is to be an ‘omoluabi’ in all ramifications.
2019 IS FOR THE OMOLUABI!
PeAcE…TASOOLO !!
