“Stolen food never satisfies hunger” (Nigerian/Yoruba Proverb)
The food does not necessarily have to be stolen; even if the
money or resources used to acquire the food is stolen, the food eventually
becomes a stolen food.
Our ancestors believe that you can never be satisfied if the
source of your wealth is through dishonesty or from corrupt practices. No
matter how rich, privileged or famous you are today, you will soon face the
consequence of nature if your source of riches is illegal. One day, the table
will turn and the riches would become wretchedness while the grace behind the
fame automatically becomes disgraceful.
Every stolen property, money, food or title (position) that
you possess today attracts evil spirit to you and those who presently enjoy
with you. This spirit eats deep into you and weakens the good spirit within
you. Then, as your good spirit becomes weak, it may be very difficult for you
to see the light till the die is cast.
As from today, always avoid anything that would require you
to lose your self-worth by stooping low to get things through illegal, corrupt
or dishonest means. If you don’t have it now, don’t steal it! If you must get
it, go get it for real and ensure that you get it in the right way.
