Dr. Gbadegesih’s lecture was extremely influential. I enjoyed his lecture in Omuluabi, which means good character. Dr. Gbadegesish made self-actualization the main topic of his lectures. He made it a point to place strong emphasis on this topic. I really enjoyed listening to him speak and it was definitely a lecture that I will remember. The points that he made will forever stay in my memory. I now have a better understanding of the purpose of man and what we were set on Earth to do. He told a story about a woman named Iwa who was very beautiful. Along with Iwa, there was a man named Orunmila, who is the God of Wisdom. In this story Iwa was the daughter of patience and the granddaughter of pain. The point of this story was to warn us that if we indulge ourselves in fraudulent businesses, we will lose our character, which will in turn, cause us to lose everything. He also told us that there is an African thought that that believes everyone has his or her own destiny. We are all placed on this earth to achieve a goal, no matter how big or small that goal may be. Dr. Gbadegesin also talked about the writings before the 10 Commandments. The Principles of Ma’at are based upon truth, justice, order, balance, and harmony. Ma’at is the daughter of the Sun God. Although Ma’at is the Sun God she is still required to abide by Ma’at, along with the other Gods.
