Ẹni tó ní orí rere tí kò ní ìwà rere, ìwà ẹ ló máa ba orí rere ẹ̀ jẹ́ / Anyone with a good destiny but a bad character, will soon lose his good destiny to his bad character.
The Yorubas put great premium on Respect. And since you do not know my age, you should use the more respectful form Ẹ instead of Ó which you use for your mates of people younger than you!
That's one of the beauties of the Yoruba language!
As the holy texts says, "No one is good except God." Perhaps you meant that we should be reasonably productive and forthcoming human beings who are mindful of others' feelings.
"the power to inspire individuals to become active participants in their communities, cultivating a culture of inclusivity, empathy, and collective growth" So, what's your definition of the phrase?
Beautiful message
O ṣeun
👏🙏
But a Yoruba would say: Ẹ ṣeun.

I'm so sorry I didn't know
Please, it was just a correction. No apology was called for! I am sorry if I gave the impression.
Cheers!
🙏🏿
And thanks for your words of wisdom.
Which, in other words, would entail emotional intelligence. Just my two cents. Happy New Year, Sir.
My thanks and appreciation🙏
The same thing to our people in your household!

Please, as an Agnostic, I don't have holy books.
I supplied a wiki definition of Omoluwabi.
A properly brought-up Omoluwabi will beat a good Christian or Moslem or Buddhist any day!
I like that you share both the Yoruba and English transcriptions.
Why would I deprive my non-Yoruba speaking readers of the pleasure 🤪🤪
The Yoruba concept of Omoluwabi

What does being a "good human being " entail?
You are a Yoruba, you should know that Yorubas don't have hardcore definitions on such things.
But a cultured and properly brought up Yoruba ought to know the meaning of Omoluwabi.
Abọ ọrọ là nsọ fun Ọmọluabi...

As per your profile, you are a university faculty member, so we shouldn't waste our time in pedestrian discussions.
We should have better employment for our time.
As a Yoruba, you should know that we are more practical than theoretical.
Some things are not taught in our culture. No one teaches you dancing, drumming, farming, etc.
No one teaches you religion, philosophy, or how to find your way to God, salvation, or anything else.
Yoruba people consider those things personal. You learn and adapt them as you go through life.
Your life is your personal journey to be lived and discovered as you choose.

"the power to inspire individuals to become active participants in their communities, cultivating a culture of inclusivity, empathy, and collective growth" So, what's your definition of the phrase?
Do you have problems with the English language or the philosophical underpinnings of the definition?
Both, Sir. I need your definition 🙏. Don't you have a working definition, Sir?
