By Henry Ubus
Chief Wilson Ejeben, the CEO of the Wilson Ejeben Foundation, recently expressed deep concern over the declining ethical standards in society. In a poignant statement, Chief Ejeben lamented that in contemporary times, people tend to defend individuals they favor or from whom they benefit, rather than standing up for what is inherently right.
“Nowadays, people no longer defend what is right; they defend who they like or what they benefit from,” Chief Ejeben stated emphatically. He underscored the importance of maintaining moral integrity and warned against allowing personal emotions to cloud one’s judgment. “Never allow your emotions to overrule your sense of reasoning. Make una dey fear God o,” he added, urging individuals to have a reverent fear of God in their actions.
Chief Ejeben’s comments came at a time when there is widespread concern about the erosion of ethical values and principles. His message is a clarion call for introspection and a return to the foundational values of honesty and integrity. The Wilson Ejeben Foundation, under his leadership, has been at the forefront of promoting these values, advocating for a society where decisions are made based on what is right and just, rather than on personal gain or favoritism.
His statement resonates with many who see the need for a shift in societal attitudes towards ethics and morality. By emphasizing the importance of fearing God and adhering to righteous principles, Chief Ejeben is championing a movement towards a more just and equitable society.
In his address, Chief Ejeben also highlighted the adverse effects of allowing emotions to dictate actions, pointing out that such behavior often leads to biased and unjust outcomes. He called on all individuals to engage in self-reflection and to commit to upholding what is right, irrespective of personal connections or benefits.
Chief Ejeben’s message serves as a powerful reminder of the need for moral clarity and ethical fortitude in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. His appeal to fear God and prioritize reasoning over emotions is a timely reminder of the values that should guide our personal and collective conduct.
