Celebrating Mr Ethics Isiaka Kehinde - A Rare Breed of High Intelligentsia

Many Happy Birthday wishes to Alhaji Kehinde Adeniyi Isiaka - a man of high ethical value. I've come across very few men whose reputation always precedes everything they encounter in life, their value is always prominent in their engagements. It doesn't drive you financially forward much though, it however takes you to your destination at a snail's pace. But a good name, they say, is better than gold and silver.

His immense contribution to ethical reorientation in Oyo State as a case study ought to have been widely accepted and advanced by the society but it is the direct opposite, rather, it is undervalued and underappreciated. In his personal capacity he produces and donates free to the public - a quarterly edition of 'The Ethics Magazine' which helps to enlighten the youth and society at large the rare benefits of Integrity and Ethics in the society. He preaches the ethical gospel in social gatherings, seminars and in schools. He has contributed even more.

Nigeria is at the point of ethical dearth and ethical reorientation needs to be placed at the forefront of our daily activities: in secondary schools, tertiary institutions, private enterprise, firms, government parastatals and so on. Like I once said somewhere that 'In saner climes, he'd be a top renowned national figure for his immense capacity and invaluable vast ability in human ethics, mentorship, value orientation, capacity building etc' but we have a situation that is akin to death of moral value, immorality is the new benchmark for the youths and people now feed off social vices more than ever.

The government should introduce ethics into governance, say Ethics department in government, like they do operate in the advanced worlds, the US, the UK and many more. It will go a long way to bring a rebirth in the ethical standards of our state and country at large. Ethical revolution is one of the many points in helping to promote standards, integrity and sound consciousness in our teeming youths so as to build a better future and serene living environment for the citizenry.

Here's Deeduke Media wishing this already great man a prosperous birthday celebration. A true Quinquagenarian who deserves a grip at the helm of affairs in one of our parastatals in the nearest future.

A true rare breed of high intelligentsia - Isiaka Adeniyi Kehinde.
