The Sacred Imperative of Learning and Development in Yorùbá Tradition
In Yorùbá tradition, learning (ìmọ̀) is a sacred journey, not merely a means to personal advancement. It is a divine responsibility entrusted by one’s Orí and ancestors, weaving individual growth into communal strength. Through the pursuit of knowledge, cultivation of character (ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́), and alignment with destiny (ayànmọ̀), individuals fulfill both personal purpose and cosmic duty. As the proverb says, “Ẹ̀kọ́ kì í tan lórí” — learning never ends.
