Welcome to Yoruba land. What we shall be looking at today is our forefathers' adage that says: "A look-like-thin-rat, nurtured but later becomes uncontrollably bold like"Ira". A rich man well fed, begin to look for trouble. What is Ekulu Odan? Ekulu Odan is an animal but small in size as rat. But when it gets to a fertile land. I mean real busy land, where it gets different kind of leaves and other things that an animal can eat that it becomes nourished. As a result, it begins to be big to the extent that it becomes bold like "Ira". What is "Ira"? "Ira" is also an animal but big to some extent that some other animals feel threatened when they come across it. But since "Ekulu odan" began to be big after it was nurtured, it equates itself as "Ira" saying to itself that now that it has power and in a position it finds itself, it can do and undo. There is always a meaning to every proverb said by Yorubas. How is it explained among the humanities. You are from a very poor family, to the extent that to feed yourself alone was not easy. But you were suddenly helped and became successful. Your benefactor so nice you that he gave you access to all his wealth. But now that you very ok, you have became so bold that you couldn't be controlled again. You have forgotten how you began. People have called your attention to your bad character but you ignored them. Not only that, every means to get all your boss' properties willed to you is your next move, even if it means to end the life of your boss. Can you see yourself. You are doomed. Your true life story you hid from public is now out for the people. And all your arrogance becomes useless. Imagine All you have laboured for got scattered. How on earth will your boss keeps mute and pretends as though things are fine. Therefore, listeners out there, if you are helped to the top, please, stay put. Never listen to bad advice coming from friends. Because once things are out of control, you bear the consequences alone. You need to know your limits. Always remember that one who is bigger than you can get you down. Remembering where you started from, will really be of a great help to you. We shall all be successful and we will never lack. We should always remember that time is life as my father's name implies that time is everything. Wait for your time. We shall always have peace and joy in our families. Till when next we meet.... Peace.
