Dr. Gbadegesin brought up multiple great points in his lecture that really stuck out to me.
One point was when he talked about "Omoluabi" and told us what it meant. The definition of "Omoluabi" is a person who is disciplined and self-improving, and who earns respect from their peers by putting the knowledge that they have and using it to help the community.This definition showed me that this is how I wish to be in the world. We all need to be someone who uses the knowledge we know to help our community grow, prosper, and become better. This is something that should be kept in my mind at all times.
Another thing he spoke about was the "Ijuba." This is the homage. This basically tells us to pay our respects to everything and everyone including people and things in our past and present. I think it is important to respect and show regards to others as well as ourselves. That is something that our world seems to struggle with sometimes, so it is important that we try to keep this in mind. We should not only honor those who came before us, but we should also honor those who will come after us.
One of the main points that I got from this lecture is that we need to be the beauty in the community and make it better for everyone through our actions and knowledge. We are creating the path for the people who come after us to follow after, so we need to work to make that path a great one.
This lecture relates to Dr. Carr's lecture in the sense that both lectures pointed out how learning has advanced over time and will continue to advance. They also talked about the importance of knowledge and that we should use our knowledge to help others.
