Ọ̀pọ̀lọ́ wo ibi tó tutù ba sí.

Translation
The frog seeks for a cool, sheltered place to hide.

Moral
This proverb captures our instinct to take care of ourselves, even if others call it selfishness. The truth remains: every living being is drawn to a safe, convenient place where needs are met, away from unwanted attention.

Bí ẹyẹ àkókó bá ń sọ igi láì jáwọ́, bó pẹ́ bó yá, á rí nǹkan gbà lọ́wọ́ igi.

Translation
If the woodpecker persistently pecks a tree without relenting, it will get something from the tree, ultimately.

Moral
Persistence breaks limits! Almost nothing can stop someone who refuses to quit. To stay persistent is come out on top. In all life endeavours, the secret is simple: keep going, if you aim to succeed. Almost nothing can stand against persistence. What looks impossible fades when one refuses to quit.

Ọ̀nà tí èèyàn tọ̀ tó ṣubú, bí èèyàn bá ní sùúrù, èèyàn lè tọ̀ ọ́ là.

Translation
The same road that ended in failure and setback may, through patient persistence, lead to success, fulfilment and victory.

Moral
Success rarely comes on the first try. It comes on the patient retry. The difference between “I failed” and “I won” is often just one patient return. Without any shadow of a doubt, patience is the tool that turns a dead end into a detour. Every expert was once a beginner who refused to abandon the path after failing.

Ẹni a fọ̀rọ̀ lọ tó ní tòun bàjẹ́, kín ni kí ọlọ́rọ̀ ó ṣe?

Translation
If the person to whom we confide our distress exclaims, “I am ruined,” one cannot but ask: what course of action remains for the one who shoulders the burden?

Moral
While compassion is important, it must be moderated by the understanding that one’s emotional response ought not to eclipse that of the individual directly affected by the problem.

Bámi na ọmọ mi, kò dé inú ọlọ́mọ.

Translation
A parental directive to assist in physically disciplining a child does not reflect wholehearted intent.

Moral
It's important that parents model what they want their children to learn. Parents must teach ownership by showing ownership. If parents want children to take responsibility for their actions, they must model taking responsibility for theirs — including how and when they correct them.

Igi tó bá tọ́ kìí pẹ́ nígbó.

Translation
A tree of exceptional quality seldom endures long within the forest.

Moral
The same quality that makes one valuable will make one vulnerable. What is good and excellent cannot escape attention, and attention will always attract hazard. If no one is watching or warring against you, check your value. A litmus test for what is good and excellent calls for people's notice and challenge. A person of great value will draw applause and haters.

Ìyàwó tí a bá fi ijó fẹ́, ìran ni yóò wò lọ.

Translation
A woman one marries for her dance moves and skills will sooner or later vanish from home, drawn away by the fascination of entertaining displays.

Moral
The basis of one's union or relationship determines its endurance! Therefore, in the choice of a spouse or a friend, it is important to choose character over charisma. Long after charisma has faded, it is character that keeps a relationship or home standing. To have a lasting relationship, it's needful to go for the virtues that thrive when the lights go off, not for the talents that shine only when the music is on.

Translation
The craftiness of the seller who wraps a small portion of cornmeal in many leaves to exaggerate its size pales before that of the buyer who tosses it up to assess its weight only to walk away without purchasing. Yet even that is surpassed by the one who claims his mother sent him for nothing. Still, the greatest wisdom lies with the passerby who merely says, “May you sell your cornmeal well.”.

Moral
Just as there are different levels of deception, there are different levels of wisdom. What you assume you know is nothing next to what others quietly know without exhibiting it or saying a word about it. In all situations, it is important to make humility our default posture. Humility promotes, but pride demotes!

Ẹni ìjà kò bá, ní í pe ara rẹ̀ lọ́kùnrin.

Translation
It is the person who has never faced a battle that calls himself a real man.

Moral
The measure of true strength lies in meeting challenges head-on and prevailing, not in self-proclaimed glory. Those who have never endured hardship tend to speak boastfully, whereas those who have faced battle and prevailed have earned the right to attest to their strength. True strength and courage are proven by overcoming challenges, not by boasting when untested.

A TRIBUTE TO IMPACT, HOPE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Celebrating and Appreciating Leke Abejide Foundation (LAF)

In a society where many speak about change while only a few truly commit themselves to making it happen, the Leke Abejide Foundation (LAF) has once again demonstrated that genuine leadership is measured not merely by words, but by meaningful actions that touch lives and transform communities.

The remarkable initiative of disbursing ₦710 Million to 71 Communities across Yagba Federal Constituency, with ₦10 Million allocated to each community for grassroots development, stands as a monumental testament to visionary leadership, compassion, and unwavering dedication to the welfare of the people.

This laudable intervention goes beyond financial support; it represents hope for the underserved, empowerment for communities, and a renewed belief that responsive leadership remains possible. At a time when many communities continue to seek development and sustainable opportunities, this bold gesture shines brightly as a symbol of commitment to human capital and grassroots advancement.

The Leke Abejide Foundation (LAF), under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Leke Abejide, has proven that true service is not about occupying positions but about using influence and resources to uplift people and create lasting impact. Such generosity and foresight deserve not only commendation but deep appreciation from beneficiaries, stakeholders, and every lover of progress.

This initiative will undoubtedly leave footprints that generations will remember. Roads may eventually wear out, buildings may age, and programmes may end, but the hope restored in people, the opportunities created, and the confidence inspired in communities will continue to speak long into the future.

We therefore extend our heartfelt gratitude and profound appreciation to Leke Abejide Foundation (LAF) for this extraordinary act of kindness and development-driven leadership.

Thank you for believing in the power of grassroots development.
Thank you for choosing impact over indifference.
Thank you for empowering communities and building brighter futures.

May this noble effort continue to yield abundant blessings, inspire others in leadership, and attract greater strength and resources to sustain the foundation's humanitarian mission.

Indeed, when communities are empowered, hope is restored; when hope is restored, the future becomes brighter.

To Leke Abejide Foundation — we celebrate you, we appreciate you, and we pray that your good works continue to flourish and touch even more lives.

“Empowering Communities • Building Futures • Inspiring Hope.”
