Lesson From Prof. Niyi Osundare’s Experience
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

.
Prof. Niyi Osundare, in an interview, said when he and his wife returned to Nigeria after studying abroad to teach at the University of Ibadan,, they were entitled to car loan each but they decided to take a car loan as a couple in order to manage their resources well. .

After some period, the couple decided to pay the distinguished lecturer’s parents a visit at Ikere Ekiti their hometown, they drove in their new car from UI to the town.

After all the welcome merriment, Prof. Osundare said his parents came to their room to wake him and his wife in the night for a parents to son heart to heart discussion. His parents wanted to know how their son, a university lecturer, got to own a brand new car so soon after their return from abroad.

Can you imagine that level of societial value and parenting?

The erudite scholar said he took time that night to explain to his parents that he got the car from his car loan entitlement as a lecturer in the premier university, that in actual fact, his wife was also entitled to another car but they decided to have one car instead of two.

It was after his bit by bit explanation on how he got the car that his parents decided to pray and dedicate the car into God’s hand.

That was the value, ethics and Omoluabi ethos Yoruba were /are known for and that is the most cherished legacy parents and society can uphold and pass to the younger generation. Failure in this is failure in all what a good society stands for and the society must pay dearly for it.

Now, how many parents today care about the source of sudden richness of their children even if they are grown up? Some parents and extended families now rely on their undergraduate jobless children for survival. They know they are yahoo guys and hooked up girls but they care less.

How many clerics care about the mouth watering wealth and donations given to them and their prayer centres by their members?

How many followers of rogue corrupt politicians bother about the stupendous riches, huge spending on politics to acquire power and primitive accumulation of property by their political leaders? All we do now is to help criminals in politics to rationalise their ill-gotten wealth and deodorise the stench in it for our personal gains. Yet, we blame the bad youths that are following their bad footsteps while we embrace, defend these rogue politicians, their role models?

We can’t join in destroying the society and its values and hope the society, a nation, or family, government will get better with our kurukere kurukere prayer and fasting.

I appreciate Prof. Osundare for sharing his worthwhile experience with his dutiful parents.
