Dr. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, MFR

Eni to l'eru, lo leru.

He who owns the slave gets the inheritance.

A rich man died leaving instructions that his son must choose only one of his earthly possessions.

Those the young man sought advice on what to select told him he could pick anything but they'd get half of it. They advised him not to pick slaves because there would be no money to feed them.

When the day to make a choice arrived, the young man was divinely inspired to ask the chief slave to choose first.

The chief slave selected all the material wealth and then the young man selected the slave knowing that "He who owns the slave gets all the slave inherits."

Moral:

Get wisdom, it is the principal thing


Barry Wonder's philosophical type of Fuji music died with him. No one has been able to take up Ebenezer Obey's philosophical mantle too.

Chief Ebenezer Obey


The horse, the man and his son (Ketekete) - 1973


“Kosogbon to’le da, ko si’wa to le wu, ko so’na to le gba, to le fi ta’ye lo’run o!”

No matter the wisdom, or the good behaviour, or the manners and ways you explore, you can never satisfy the world.

Moral: You can't please the world.
