ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Learning or education is the source of knowledge and wisdom that would improve an elder’s thought. There are many ways of learning, but in the modern time, most things can be found on the internet.
It is not only on the internet that the elder should be suspicious or wary in order not to be lost. An elder must be observant about things such as: being watchful about the Politicians, by guiding their votes jealously; money in the bank; be watchful over the dangers that might be lurking around; the kind of food that is being eaten; etc.
The Yoruba proverb that said “Suspicion is the medicine of the elder, an unthoughtful elder will be lost”, can be used to instruct all the Yoruba people (both young and old) to be cautious, think deeply before embarking on any project.
Elders should be careful, open their minds for learning because no one is too old to learn. The elders that is unable to use the internet, can listen or watch past and current affairs on the Radio or Television. This will increase the elder’s awareness of happenings in the immediate environment and the whole world, thereby improving thoughts of avoiding being lost.
