FEED-A-THON I

Igi eléso ni èmi

Olórun kò dá mi ní asán

Gbogbo èrò tó n lo, tó n bò

E yà, kí e wá je nínú èsoò mi

Sùgbón èbè kan ni mo bèyín

Kí e máse bìmí subú

Basically translated to:

I'm a fruit tree

I'm working the purpose of God

Come ye, everyone

Eat of my fruits

Only a request

I beg of you Manage me well!

I lately pondered how we arrived at this state of hunger, malnutrition, and environmental degradation ravaging human population. Could it be a product of our ignorance, negligence, nonchalance, or futureless attitudes that are costing us so much at the moment? Come to think of it. Where are the lessons from the tales, stories and lyrics made available to us in our formative years and subsequently? While reminiscing on the status quo, the lyrics: Igi eléso ni èmi (I'm a fruit tree) came to mind. Does that mean we only got the letters and not the lessons? Many of us grew up to this lyric and fond of it. Even now, nature, art, economy, society, and the environment daily speak aloud to us on the dire need for sustainability in all facets of our endeavors. How much have we heeded these messages?

Today is another opportunity to heed the environmental call for climate action and food security concern. Picture taken at a client's house where we inspected the fruit trees, he requested us to plant in his compound. Daddy Caleb Arogundade, Baba Oye Arogundade among others is taking action to to FEED-A-THON with fruits. My own Egbon and Leader Rotimi Omotoso has many Green Stars to himself in ecosystem restoration, climate action, and food security.

I put it to you! What can you do to stem the ongoing food crisis, environmental degradation, and global warming?
