Why does an elder lose dignity when appetite overpowers restraint? Why does privilege sometimes create even more hunger? What happens when intelligent people forget the limits of knowledge? Through historical scenes and modern anecdotes, this episode shows how ancient Yoruba wisdom still explains leadership, wealth, status, and character today.
