ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Listening to the words of one of the distinguished Yoruba elders, Dr. Omololu Olunloyo on an online Opomulero TV, the following were observed:

Dr. Olunloyo began by reciting his family lineage odes (Oriki) one of the Yoruba culture that is almost extinct.

Deducing from the words of the elder, one would notice a man who had always been brilliant from his young age.  It was a big deal/mean fit to graduate from the University/College at age twenty-three (23) and obtain a Doctoral Degree (PhD) at age twenty-six (26) in those days and even now.  In 1962, Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo became Commissioner at age twenty seven (27).  As a distinguished Mathematician, the Western Region Politicians did not regard him as too young before giving him the portfolio as a Commissioner for Economic Development.

Dr. Omololu Olunloyo showed that not being in the same political party does not have to lead to enmity as it is common nowadays.  For example, he was not in the same political party with Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, yet he was very close to him because they had a lot in common as they were both forthright and fearless.

Dr. Omololu Olunloyo declared that knowledge is unlimited as he still continued to seek more knowledge through reading.  There is a lot of lessons from this elder video, watch this on Opomulero TV.
