Carlo Rovelli a Professor of theoretical physics world renowned had stated in the march 13 2021 edition of the new scientist that things exist only in relation to other things.he wrote this on Quantum mechanics
. I wrote to tell him that we have long known that in Africa as Ubuntu meaning a person is a person through another person
..there may be other things in our culture and religions re discovered or yet to be discovered by scientists like rovelli
Quantum physics which is said to be non sensical by physicists explains very well the behaviour of matter at the atomic level and its the heart of the digital economy
In the same vein isese might ,by the adherents of other faith be non sensical and embarsssing but at a fundamental level it impacts very positively and potently on those who practice it
Before the arrival of foreigners on Yoruba soil the yoruba had igbo oba .the kings forest.igbo dudu the dangerious forest,igbo olorun. Gods forest but yorubas were told these were all nonsese so the forest were cut down for furniture and construction one of the major reasons for climate crisis today the wòrld should listen to the yoruba who have a propensity for living in harmony with nature.a symbiotic relationship.
Ìsese calls for return to the spirit it calls for spiritual rejuvenation. Spiritual rebirth. It is pragmatism in usa .empiricism in Europe but spirituality in Yoruba world the spirit dying or dead then the environment decays along with it.the spirit dead or dying gives rise to political decay.
,social decay,economic ,decay,infrastructural decay and more so the need to return to the spirit. For the rebirth and the re awakening of the yoruba as long advanced by Professor olukayode oyediran in his book titled He leadeth me.it included a catalogue of woes in Yoruba world and by yorubas.
