Throughout history, many philosophers have given us schools of thought or various ways to understand the world we live in. Just as Plato sparks the question “What is Justice” in “Republic”, Deji Akingbade possess his own questions about our existential crisis with his philosophy “Be the Verb – Not the Noun.

According to Deji’s philosophy on Nouns and Verbs, each man or woman must be charged to express his work, beliefs, goals, passions, dreams and aspirations in a manner that cannot be defined by a Noun. Fundamentally, there is no such thing as a complete truth when every Noun and its narrow minded definitions are open to question.

Deji also challenges the conventional idea to “Think outside the Box”. The true nature of any innovation is to “create new boxes” to think outside of. Hence the solution to mankind’s existential crisis begins with one question – What is wisdom?
