*ENGLISH TRANSLATION*

*Enhance your character, my friend,*
*Prosperity could depart from one’s home,*
*And beauty could retreat from people’s bodies.*

*Today’s rich could become poor tomorrow,*
*Opulence is like ocean’s surfs; it is like ocean’s waves,*
*They come and go from one’s home as they please;*
*But, only good character follows one to the grave.*

*Money is not everything to anyone,*
*Good character is the beauty of a mortal,*
*What if you are wealthy without good character?*
*Who would trust you with something serious?*

*Perhaps, you are a gorgeous woman,*
*If you are far from societal norms,*
*Who would marry you as a wife?*

*Or you are a fraudulent person,*
*May be you are well educated;*
*Who would transact business with you?*

*Enhance your character, my friend,*
*In the absence of character, education is a waste;*

*The whole world appreciates a well-mannered person*

*_Poetry by the late Chief J.F. Odunjo, renowned Yoruba playwright, poet, politician, and statesman – from one of his popular Alawiye series._*

*This poem was recited in those days by primary school children in the old Western Region.*

Unfortunately, you jettisoned the omoluabi character to support a thief and fraud(onijibiti).

Ti'wa ba Sonu..complete it

Nice one, Omoluwabi pataki

Initially I thought I shouldn't answer you but I later realized that I need to in order to show you how unreasonable you are. The man Bola Ahmed Tinubu that you called a criminal has never been convincted in any law court as a criminal. If there is any please let me know. You people call him names and deminised him for no reason. I will never join anyone to demonise an innocent person and that's the offence I have committed. He left government since 2007 and until 2015 PDP had been in power. For that eight years we have EFCC, ICPC etc none of this organisations could charge him to court. He was taken to court once not for criminal purpose and he was discharged and acquitted. What are we talking about? What evidence do I and you have to call him a criminal? I don't dwell on beer parlour talk, frivolities and gossip. I deal with facts and truth. Give me any cogent reason and support it with facts that he is a criminal. Even the bible says out of two or three witnesses truth shall be established. The law of the land says don't call anyonya criminal until he is pronounced a criminal by the court.
For get about the gossip and beer parlour talk. He was a former governor just like Obi . Obi was also accused of wrong doing but it was not established. Check the pics below.But since I don't have any fact and he was not pronounced a criminal I can't dwell on it.

Unfortunately, you ended up saying nothing.
Supporting Tinubu says a lot about you.

It's like you are confused. Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria. He is the best man for the job. Tell me what he did wrong and support it with facts don't just sit down and be typing trash.

Yawns...we hear uninformed people say this all the time but I'm glad many omoluabis are not so stupid to follow BATstards like you.

I warn you. It to early.

Warn yourself and stop misrepresenting omoluabis as daft people who think with their stomach instead of their head.
Even if we are to support a fellow Yoruba, Tinubu is a no-no.

What offence has Tinubu committed? What court has pronounced him guilty? You just have to fear God. You can't be listening to beer parlour talk and begin to act on it. You have to use your brain. Didn't you go to school. Did your bible teach you to talk evil of other people because some disgruntled elements are doing it. Be sensible! Don't allow anyone to lure you into evil. Use your sense. Tinubu is as innocent as anyone unless a court if law pronounced him a criminal. Don't join bandwagon. Let your education reflect in your thinking.

I'm surprised you are the only "sane" omoluabi that says "what offence has Tinubu committed?".So much for a true " omoluabi".

Continue dancing n.aked in the market.


See how this one disgraced himself because of Tinubu only to come and lie on National TV

Your language is dirty and foul it is not expected of a true Yoruba man. Yoruba will say Omo ti aba bi ire ki ihi hi Iwa buruku. Learn how to use clean and intelligible language . You claiming to be omoluabi is even suspicious. You are not a Yoruba not to talk of being omoluabi. We are trained to talk to people politely. Even the bible also says the same thing. Learn how to be polite and we'll behaved
