I learned a lot. Will try to embrace the Omoluwabi’s concept to become a better reliable, trustworhy comorade and warrior. Lawson’s comment are never cliches and never quite what we expect. He always looks at a bigger picture, even though the interviewer is already challenging him with profound and critical statements,politic or methaphysical questions or philosophical Yuruba concepts. Thank you both for sharing your wisdom.

Adewale….. it is very re-assuring that you still hold on to the values , ideas and the precepts on which our society/culture was built, but is being slowly eroded as a result of many factors. This is how i remember you and i am glad you still hold on and promote this values.
Lawson…the sage speaks!…your take on life is always intruiging and thought provoking as usual. I honestly do look forward to a time when i will be able to draw from these (both of you) wells of wisdom again!
God bless you and please keep it going!
