Magodo: EYE-OPENER ON MANY FRONTS
By Bolanle Bolawole
Our people have a saying: If you are sent an errand like a slave, deliver it as a free-born. In other words, apply wisdom when running delicate errands. And remember the son or daughter of whom you are - except you lack a worthy pedigree! The Yoruba understand that messengers do find themselves in the dilemma of getting sandwiched between the rock and the hard place. "Yoruba bo, nwon ni" a messenger should fear the one who sent him on an errand and not the person at the receiving end. Don't shy away from your duty but critically consider the situation before acting. No two circumstances are exactly the same. Consider, for instance, the story of “the captain and his fifty” in 2 Kings 1: 1 – 12. While the first two captains and their fifty soldiers (or policemen) perished for lack of tact; the third captain saved his own life and those of his fifty men by applying wisdom. He delivered the king’s message quite alright but also escaped the wrath of Prophet Elijah.

Technological advancement has become so pervasive that it has invaded every facet of life; the hallowed chambers of justice are not left out.
