The virtual lecture is expected to be moderated by Blessing Oladunjoye, the session will also include a book review of Falobi’s latest work, titled: “Timeless Lessons from African Proverbs,” by Dr. Monday Ashibogwu. The book is a collection of African proverbs that provide guidance on human behavior and relationships, and is aimed at promoting and celebrating African values.
According to Falobi, the book is a response to the erosion of African values by westernization, globalization, and digitalization. “The core of African ideologies and value systems provides guidance on the ideals of human behavior and relationships,” he said.
“However, the effects of westernization, globalization, and digitalization have unfortunately eroded the core of what used to be the fulcrum of our values as Africans.”
