" The only way to mend a conscience that has been damaged by devilish and untruthful actions is through the pursuit of truth and honesty"
By Bode Durojaiye.
The phrase "conscience is an open wound; only truth can heal it" is a powerful statement attributed to the legendary Fulani leader, Uthman Dan Fodio.
This quote encapsulates the idea that conscience is a deep and powerful force that cannot be exorcised or killed by any means, including prayers or palliatives.
It is described as an open wound that can only be healed by the truth. This metaphor suggests that the only way to mend a conscience that has been damaged by devilish and untruthful actions or beliefs is through the pursuit of truth and honesty.
It implies that the truth has the power to heal the wounds of a conscience that has been affected by lies . The quote serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and the pursuit of truth in human life.
.Every indigene of Oyo town must know that they have no other country home to call theirs , hence the need sheathe swords, but come together and lace the way for fraternal relationships and salvage it together.
That catalyst for the much needed transformation who will set free the people from the clutches of enslavement and underdevelopment is the new Alaafin of Oyo , His Imperial Majesty ,Iku Baba Yeye, Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade, the Titan of Yoruba land .
Alaafin Owoade does not speak from both sides of his mouth, but honest, blunt, upright, proactive, pragmatic and visionary.
However, we should stop beating the drums of vendetta, persecution and acrimony as they are ill wind that will not blow them any good.
Promoting peace and communal unity is a collective responsibility of every indigene of the ancient town.
:’Peace and unity are important tools for Community development, as peace is a fundamental asset to building personal growth , community development and robust institutions.
Peace creates an enabling environment for human capital formation,and infrastructural development .
The time to build a robust, sustainable and formidable communal unity is NOW.
As individuals, let us promote peace within our town and environs by encouraging good relationships ,
