Adun ni ngbeyin Ewuro (There is Light at the end of the Tunnel)
By Chief FAMA

The Yoruba adage, "Adun ni ngbeyin ewuro," is a potent, encouraging verbal medicine in times of crises. First, let us examine the individual components of the message. Ewuro is a plant that can grow to become a tree if its leaves are not constantly plucked and its shrubs cut. The leaves double as medicinal herbs and as vegetable. Ewuro stew, with egunsi (melon seed), topped with deer meat, and eaten with iyan (pounded yam), is one of the most cherished stew in Emure Ile and the entire Ondo State of the old Yoruba nation. I believe this assertion is true of all the towns and villages that comprise the entire Yoruba people across the globe. Ewuro is mostly known as "bitter leaf" among Nigerians in general. When not used as stew, ewuro is a potent medicine for upset stomach and diarrhea, just to mention these two conditions for now. Ewuro is also an effective antidote against evil forces. Adun means sweetness, and ngbeyin means "ending."

The palatable uniqueness of ewuro is its bitterness in its raw form. So bitter is ewuro that the body's reflect reaction makes the face squeamish when ewuro is chewed raw. Then, the bitterness lingers in the tongue and throat for quite a while. This property of ewuro made it the most effective medicine to stop babies from breastfeeding in ancient times and in the early part of the twentieth century. However, as bitter as ewuro is in its raw form, it is very sweet in its traditionally processed form, which is why ewuro stew is a stew of choice in homes and at social gatherings.

In life, the Master Designer (Odumare) designs it that sometimes, we have to experience great inconveniences, disappointments, and mild or grave pains before we get to our destined paths or achieve our destined goals. As the creations of the Mighty Energy we revere as Odumare (God), we are always pushing and moving toward our destined paths and goals, even when we stumble, until we eventually get to our destinations. Just as sweetness always comes out of ewuro, may our paths and endeavors today be crowned with sweetness and success, ASE. A ji ire ni oni o (Good Morning)! Wishing you and me glowing light today and always, ase
