My father never came to a single thing I invited him to. Not my primary school graduation. Not my secondary school prize giving where I collected 3 awards and kept looking at the gate. Not my university matriculation. Not the ceremony when I got called to bar in 2012. I'd send him the date weeks in advance and he'd say I'll try and that was always the full sentence. I'll try. No follow up. No explanation after. My mother would sit in his place and clap loud enough for 2 people. I stopped inviting him after the bar call. Not from anger. Some people love you completely and still cannot show up and after a while you stop making them feel guilty about it. He was not a bad man. I want to be clear about that. He was a mechanic in Mushin for 35 years. Worked 6 days a week. Sent every one of us to school. Never raised his hand. Never left. The lights stayed on and the rent was paid and there was always food and he did all of it quietly without asking to be celebrated. He just could not sit in a plastic chair and watch something. I accepted that and moved on. Last year I bought my first property. A flat in Ojodu. Took 9 years of saving and 2 years of paperwork and a lawyer who nearly finished me. When the keys finally came I sat in the empty flat on the floor for an hour just breathing. I called my mother first. She screamed. My sister cried. I didn't call my father. 3 days later he called me. Said he heard about the flat from my mother. Said he wanted to come and see it. I didn't know what to do with that so I just said okay. Gave him the address. Figured he'd say I'll try and we'd never speak of it again. He showed up on Saturday at 9am. Stood at the door in his good agbada. The one he only wears for serious things. Holding a small nylon bag. I let him in and he walked through every room without speaking. Not quickly. Slowly. Like he was counting something. He checked the pipes under the kitchen sink. Knocked on the walls. Opened and closed the windows twice each. Looked at the ceiling in every room the way only a man who has fixed things his whole life looks at ceilings. Then he came and stood in the sitting room and looked at me. Said the pipework is good. Said the windows seal properly. Said whoever built this knew what they were doing. I nodded. Long silence. Then he opened the nylon bag. Inside was a small framed photo. Me at maybe 7 years old sitting on the bonnet of an old car in his workshop. Grinning. Both legs swinging. He's standing beside me with his hand on my shoulder looking at something outside the frame. I remember that day. I had gone to the workshop after school and he let me sit there while he worked and gave me a Fanta and put a Michael Jackson cassette on the small radio. I didn't know anyone had taken a photo. He said he kept it on his workshop table for 22 years. Said he wanted me to have something for the new place. I held that frame and stood very still. He said he knew he missed things. Said he was not good at the sitting and watching. That crowds made something in him go wrong in a way he never knew how to explain. Then he said the flat was good and he was proud and he asked if there was anything in the kitchen because he hadn't eaten. I laughed. Made him eggs and bread while he sat at my kitchen table in his good agbada like he owned the place. We ate and he told me about a car he was working on. I told him about a case that was giving me trouble. Normal conversation. The kind we should have been having for years. He left at 1pm. At the door he gripped my shoulder the same way he did in that photo. Didn't say anything. Didn't need to. The photo is on my sitting room wall now. First thing I hung in the whole flat. Some fathers cannot sit in the plastic chair. But mine drove to Ojodu in his good agbada on a Saturday morning with a 22 year old photograph in a nylon bag. That was his standing ovation. I just didn't know to look for it in that shape.

@yusufzone @Oyo_Matters You've made 5 comments here, none stating Sharafadeen's track records or antecedents.. Una no get conscience at all? Oyo State is moving on the right trajectory now, it needs another governor with the template and tempo to sustain the growth and progress to match Lagos

@Oyo_Matters In this part of the world where politics drives almost everything, no political actor, no matter how highly placed can manipulate or influence a matter where the Govt has a particular interest. No way,it ain't happening. On this Oyo matter,Sen Sharafadeen will still emerge Gov

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, is reportedly making significant efforts to position his political protégé, Senator Sarafadeen Alli, as the next governor of Oyo State. However, based on the available information and prevailing opinions in Oyo State, the senator’s track record raises questions about his qualifications for the governorship seat. .

@Miss_Oluremi They want royalty ni😁

The boys (2) who came to pluck coconut for us last week were paid 5k. They plucked 10. Today, we called them again to come pluck for us again. They said they couldn't. We asked why, and they said normally if they pluck things like that for people. They would divide it into 3 equal portions. The owner would pack two portions, and they would pack the remaining 1. If they do not want the harvest, the owner would convert it to money plus the money agreed on. So their take home is higher than the value of what they plucked. How did we get here in this country 💔

Wow I love this 😁

As how nau? How do you want the culture to grow if you gatekeep it? This is like South Africans saying non-South Africans should never use Amapiano instrumentals in their production. Let them wear it; no one can adorn or command the fashion & ancestry of Aso-oke like Yorubas.

Authenticity only,Aso Oke is mainly for Yoruba, no culture vultures allowed 🤷‍♂️

These are scenes only manufactured in Africa…. Lions chase a buffalo… buffalo runs into a river…. Lions camp on the banks waiting …. A crocodile in the river goes after the buffalo…. The drama unfolds ….

@jerriify911 @n6oflife6 @Bawzz_lady I grew up in the North and whatever is happening over there is self inflicted. They got themselves in deep shit. You're making false equivalents You don from Lagos run go north now now.

@DonMiccollo @n6oflife6 @Bawzz_lady Ogaa, call it what it is… This take is silly. With this logic, I see how the northerners are enjoying the fruits of good governance with the daily killings despite being the demography with the most votes.

There’s an area in Lagos that is Historically 1 of the Most prestigious Boroughs of the City Being Left to Rot & Decay bcos It is blivd that Mostly Igbos Live there. SanwoOlu has Spent 7yrs in Office yet all the Roads & Infrastructure in that Place are all Fucked. Guess Where?

@Mr_JAGs na onínúre 🙌

@PGizzieCasuals @iam_bucciboi @Bube23o @JahLuvCyprian @n6oflife6 Even without this, Sabon Gari was always safe during those crises back then. Men always protected Sabon Gari from external aggression. Igbo boys for Sabon Gari get tools to match any madness during riots. Families would come from other areas to Sabon Gari to hide those times😢

@iam_bucciboi @Bube23o @DonMiccollo @JahLuvCyprian @n6oflife6 No hear is safer then Sabon Gari Military base Airforce And police station And I am close to the airport No risk here

@jerriify911 @n6oflife6 @Bawzz_lady Tinubu won 31% of total SW votes in 2023. Yoruba people had major stakes in APC, PDP & LP. Are Igbos the only tax payers in Lagos? All una taxes combined no even reach Dangote for Lagos. Despite seeing the hard lessons, y'all still never learn anything. Continue my brother.

@DonMiccollo @n6oflife6 @Bawzz_lady This is such a stupid thing to say. You oblige them as good citizens to pay taxes and cast their votes and not expect them to demand the fruits of good governance? Look around, you are the unwise one.

@Bube23o @PGizzieCasuals @iam_bucciboi @JahLuvCyprian @n6oflife6 He come flex kano😂😂2020 My family left kano 2001 😂 Those were crazy times

@PGizzieCasuals @iam_bucciboi @DonMiccollo @JahLuvCyprian @n6oflife6 You came to a peaceful Kano😂

@Bube23o @PGizzieCasuals @JahLuvCyprian @n6oflife6 As una dey mention these places, nostalgia hold me men 😩 Abedi road, the home of prostitutes and gamblers 😁 I miss Kano sha..

@PGizzieCasuals @JahLuvCyprian @n6oflife6 Festing road you mean? when I left Kano, festing road wasn't bad. Emir road and Enugu road are the worst roads in sabon gari. They have never been good

It also features hundreds of videos on all Yoruba oríkì names, because our names carry history, memory, depth and meaning. Visit the site. Explore it. Share it with someone who should not forget.

This past week provided evidence that Awolowo is man that will continue to be proven right decades after his death. He told his kith and kin in his 1947 book - Path to Nigerian Freedom (Chapter 5: “Towards Federal Union”): “Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. There are no ‘Nigerians’ in the same sense as there are ‘English,’ ‘Welsh,’ or ‘French.’ The word ‘Nigerian’ is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria and those who do not.” Awo knew this contraption needs proper separation into ethno-linguistic regions and federating units.

Oh my Tems 💖💖 🥂

Bisi Akande was always by Tinubu's side since the early days when it all seemed impossible Bisi Akande is officially the first BATist

@funshographix @OurFavOnlineDoc @frendmi Must every subject be dumbed down to their region Vs our region? Hmmm na wa

You've never in your life talk about fake drugs. Fake drinks. Fake baby food that's killing people. You've never drag those people leaders from that region. You know what you are doing. You're just a slave who will rather drag his own people just to seek validation from those people. Continue. Na here all of us dey.

This is how lavishly and luxuriously their own families eat and celebrate Christian holidays. Yet thousands of people in Jos are unable to enjoy their holidays in peace, hundreds of people have their children slaughtered and their family members murdered while a useless heartless president can’t even be bothered to go beyond the airport. These are the deranged detached lunatics in power who have zero compassion for the poor and the grieving.
