Comments for The Omoluwabi Podcast http://omoluwabi.podbean.com Discussing the applications of Omoluwabi to organisations and self Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:32:22 +0000 http://podbean.com/?v=3.2 Comment on Boys to men by Rotimi Fafowora http://omoluwabi.podbean.com/2006/11/24/boys-to-men/#comment-123949 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 02:34:01 +0000 http://omoluwabi.podbean.com/2006/11/24/boys-to-men/#comment-123949 I listened to your conversation on omoluwabi and I appreciate your concern for the lives of black youth all over the world. I would like to emphasize an issue that was briefly mentioned in your conversation and this has to be on the subject of poverty. Poverty breeds a lot of unimaginable things; crime and violence are very much predominant in the breeds of poverty. As a result of instinct to survive in a rich country and yet living in an impoverished state, a black youth results in the animal instinct of survival of the fittest, applying the law of the jungle, “kill or be killed”. Unfortunately or unfortunately killing a white person to survive is as good as committing suicide, whereas one can easily get away with killing and stealing from a black kid. Police department knows the difference in the amount of work they have to do in investigating crimes committed on a white person or white community and crimes committed in a black community if it is investigated at all. Ironically this also points to the double standard of living, governance, and protection for black people generally in the western worlds. Remember that an idle hand is a tool for the devil to use and idle hand is a jobless hand, a frustrated mind, and a poverty stricken hand. Killing and crimes are not prevalent among the rich black folks, except when influenced by drugs, which is another subject entirely. Keep up with this good message of omoluwabi, and help black youth rise above their challenges, enlighten their mind that stealing, killing and committing crimes are not the solutions to their problems. The same mind can be used creatively to live successfully. I listened to your conversation on omoluwabi and I appreciate your concern for the lives of black youth all over the world.

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!

I hope that you do more. Your disuccsion on Boys to men and the "problems" of UK black youth seem to echo many of the concerns that are here in the US. Your discussion also focused on a lot of African-American artist which goes to show our black entertainers need to be very mindful of the messages they are transmitting around the world. In reference to your past podcast on Nigerian/Afrocentric business practice, please do more. These are very informative especially for we black folks on US who have been indoctrinated with the Western view of business which to me is very shortsighted and not people oriented at all. Take care rand keep up the good work. I am black woman living in the US and I really enjoy your podcast. I hope that you do more.

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. I learned a lot. Will try to embrace the Omoluwabi’s concept to become a better reliable, trustworhy comorade and warrior.
