This segment delves into the timeless wisdom of Ọ̀rĂșnmĂŹlĂ  and the OdĂč IfĂĄ, exploring how Yoruba cosmology addresses the pervasive issue of political corruption. By examining key teachings from Ọ̀áčŁáșč́ MĂ©jĂŹ, which warns against deception and falsehood, we draw parallels between traditional values like ĂŹwĂ  pele (good character) and the ethical failures of modern political leaders. Real-world examples of corruption, from high-profile bribery cases to abuses of power, highlight the moral chasm between Yoruba principles and contemporary governance. The segment also explores the concept of áșčbọ (sacrifice) as a path to political redemption, offering insights on how restitution and accountability can restore societal balance. Through this lens, we discover how ancient Yoruba teachings remain relevant in promoting integrity and justice in today's political landscape.
