Do not leave your sister or brother alone. Look out for each other. What does Onye Aghana Nwanne Ya mean within the Ezigbo Mmadu philosophy? 

Should an Omoluwabi be a good neighbor? What are the benefits of Onye Agbata Obi to health and well-being? What are the benefits to society? Does it really take a village to raise a child?

An Omoluwabi must demonstrate intelligence. Igbos say Amamihe, Yorubas call it Ọpọlọ Pipe. Is intelligence a social construct? What does intelligence or a sound mind mean to an Ezigbo Mmadu?

Akíkanjú means bravery, heroics, having courage in difficult situations. Is it the absence of fear? Do the brave need to strategize or do they just depend on their strength?

What is Òtítọ́? Absolute Truth or Relative Truth? Objective Truth, Subjective Truth or Personal Truth? What motivates you to be truthful? Is it easy? 

How do you resist the urge to lie your way out of a tricky situation? If you had no fear of divine retribution, will you still tell the truth? 

The September 5th MeetUp on Otito was basically a question and answer session with Jide (@jide_yeni). 

Different people expressed their opinion on Òtítọ́ and we had a great time.

Do you assume the worst of others or give them the benefit of doubt? How do you handle the envious feeling that creeps in when your friend, peer or mate shares good news with you? How do you resist “Bad Belle”? How do you process negative thoughts?

Some may see Iteriba as worship, some may see it as respect. If seen as worship it should be reserved for one’s creator or king. If seen as respect, should it be a one-way street? Why should we relate with civility towards each other?
