The Hardworking Tradition And Culture; Hard Work Is The Motto Of Yorubas
Ise l’ogun Ise
Mura s’ise ore mi
Ise la fi n’deni giga
Bi a ko ba reni feyin ti
Bi ole la’nri
Bi a ko ba reni gbekele
A tera mo’se eni
Iya re le lowo lowo
Baba re le lesin lekan
Bi o ba gbo’ju lewo
O te tan ni mo so fun o
Ohun ti a ko ba ji’ya fun
Se kii le pe lowo
Ohun ti a ba fara sise fun
Nii pe lowo eni... (Yoruba language)
Permit me, but I enjoy writing talking about my culture and her pride. Yorubas are believed to progenerate from Oodua, and a Yoruba child is never lazy, take it or leave it.
Yorubas are industrious and hard working. Yoruba Sons and Daughters believe in selfless struggles and hard-work to earn a living.
From childhood, they are been thought the ethics of hard-work and how profitable it is to be hardworking.
Let me give you the interpretation of the poem above in the quote
Work hard, my friend
Work/Labour is the major tool for elevation and a successful life
when we have no one to lean on
We would appear indolent
If we do not have anyone to support us
We simply work harder
Your mother might be rich
Your father may have a stable full of horses
If you rely on them without working to earn something
You are close to shame and disgrace, I tell you
Whatever a person does not work hard to earn
Usually, do not last
Whatever gain one seriously labours for with hard-work
Usually, lasts with one
Little wonder, you see Yorubas succeed. This same trait is also found in all African children, which makes us unique and dynamic.
I am a proud Yoruba Child.
Where are you from, are you proud of where you come from?
