Life History
Moshood “Mosh” Bola Owolowo is a Nigerian-British author, writer, researcher, sociologist and entrepreneur. Owolowo was born to Yoruba parents in Lagos and grew up exposed to the exemplar religious diversity and harmony amongst the Yoruba in Western Nigeria. Living in the United Kingdom exposed Owolowo to the realities of discrimination – particularly racism, and the Islamophobia that ensued post-9/11. He is an advocate of dialogue and peaceful coexistence. Owolowo has written numerous articles that address various topical issues, and writes under the pen name M.B.O Owolowo.

Education
Owolowo was educated at the University of Lagos, where he earned a degree in Sociology. He has an MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree from Imperial College London. Owolowo considers corruption has a major impediment to development in Nigeria, and recommends a thorough approach to tackling the corruption menace. His solution to corruption is EJE – Execution, Jail, Exile. “The war against corruption should go beyond rhetoric and theatrics and summarily convict all those found guilty. The options for looters should be unambiguous – execution, jail or exile (EJE). Nigeria must develop to a level where everybody is held accountable and nobody is bigger than the law – no sacred cows.”

Religion

In his book P.R.I.S.M: Primal Religious Instruction Serving Mankind, Owolowo argues that “through certain activities, some human beings instinctively fulfil their human religious requirement. This religious requirement is fulfilled by filling the associative spiritual void with an alternative, even if done subconsciously. Anything that is valued, or any set of values that are sacred to an individual, has essentially fulfilled the role of ‘god’ to that individual. Those values could be science, tradition or ancestry or anything at all. And when there is an assemblage of such people, they are effectively a religion.”
