When we start using Ọmọlúwàbí values as the inspiration for social organization - education, politics and entertainment, then we will see our lands changed.
Yorubas have the best social organizational structure in the world - in terms of morals. I don't know of any people in the world whose cultural nomenclature describes them as Ọmọlúwàbí (The Nobles) or Kaaro Ojiire, which is a greeting of pleasantness.
This is the cultural identity that Ọmọlúwàbís today have thrown away to embrace the Gangsters Paradise and American Dream cultural paradigms of a Dog-eat-Dog civilization. This inferior culture is propagated in a package of shiny ornaments with which it lures the noble children of Odùduwà into an adulterous relationship that rather than advance them has been an albatross to their development.
Àwọn tí wọn tí ń ṣ'ọ̀gá lọ́jọ́ tó ti pẹ́, tún padà wá d'ẹni à ń f'ọwọ́ tì sẹ́yìn.
We are to lead the world, but we have sold our virtues and pride as the elder in the world for a morsel of porridge, now the foolish rule over the wise.
Until we recover our lost cultural structure, we and the world will not know true fulfillment.
The present American/European system of world organization is not sustainable. Only few might understand this.
I have a good news however, that the turn of global events is pointing to the need for a new cultural system of doing things differently. The secret and limitations of our present dubious political structure which is aimed to separate spirituality from political organization is being made manifested and a Renaissance of the true Yoruba culture of the Priest/King Order of Odùduwà (Melchizedech, Christ), a political system where the political office holder is seen as an epitome of the righteousness that the creator of the universe and His hosts symbolize has become inevitable.
Soon and very soon, snake oil merchants and dubious political actors who know how to dazzle with brilliant speeches and promises they do not intend to keep will no longer lead us.
They are the Ọlọ́ṣẹ̀rẹ̀ṣẹ́rẹ́ that the Odù Ifá of Ogunda Méjì revealed to us, Ifá says their days are numbered!
Ọmọlúwàbí, Isẹ́ yá!
