You can’t disrespect a group one moment and then try to associate with them the next without addressing it.
That kind of inconsistency is exactly why people are calling you out.
And you still think it's funny to be making sleek replies to people calling you out? Your stupidity will not only affect you but also the man's political career who took a chance on you.

@MasterMaliq English is not the only medium of communication with people, why is arabic only the medium of communication with your god? Ehn
English

If learning 5 minutes of Arabic for prayer = “identity eradication”…
Then learning English for school, business & X is what? Cultural suicide?

Prince Adewale shares his take on religious beliefs
English

This is reckless and deeply foolish.
Seun Kuti just compared the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to that of Lumumba, Sankara, and others, claiming Jesus knew He would rise again while the others died without hope of resurrection.
That’s not just wrong, it’s blasphemous. Jesus didn’t die for “his people” in a political sense. He died for the sins of the entire world, fully aware of the cost.
Reducing that sacrifice to “he knew he would wake up after three days” is shallow and disrespectful.
Admire Lumumba, Sankara, Nkrumah, and others for their struggle, that’s fine.
But dragging Jesus down to make a political point is cheap and unnecessary.
True liberation does not require insulting the faith of millions.
Speak your truth without spitting on what others hold sacred.
English

“The sacrifice of Lumumba is greater to me than the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ knew he was going to wake up after three days, but the people that died for me; Lumumba, Sankara, my father, Nkrumah, Steve Biko — these people d! 3d and they knew they were never going to wake up and they still d! 3d. We can not be afraid anymore. Our mission is liberation. We must liberate ourself from the hands of these people.”
— Seun Kuti says.

@AsakyGRN This is very profound if you are a believer. It is not supposed to make sense if you are not.

@O__LAB @kolaayanwuyi Esu is not Satan. Esu doesn’t laughs at someone being unsuccessful in his endeavors, Esu helps, he opens way if you seek him, he is ready to fight for you this goes by is Oriki “someone who cries harder than the owners of the tears”. Satan is different definition, he is evil.

@instablog9ja Your language carries your identity, your history, your meaning.
Any system that disconnects you from that
isn’t just guiding you . it’s reshaping you.

@Deji21_04 @instablog9ja So, can i go to mecca, and lead a prayer in Yoruba language?
English

We all know he’s referring to Islam so I’ll answer him in kind.
First of all, this argument is built on a false premise. Islam does NOT forbid you from communicating with God in your own language. You can make du’a (supplication) in any language you want, anytime. There is zero restriction on that. So the claim that Islam “forbids your language” is already wrong from the start.
What Islam distinguishes between is personal supplication and formal ritual prayer (Salah). Salah has a fixed structure, just like every serious religious tradition has structured forms of worship. And yes, it’s performed in classical Arabic(which differs from Modern Standard Arabic spoken by everyday Arabs) and that’s not about “identity eradication,” rather it’s about preservation and unity.
The Qur’an was revealed in classical Arabic, and preserving it in that exact language ensures the meaning and wording remain intact. The moment you turn a liturgical act into multiple languages, you open the door to variation, reinterpretation, and eventually contradiction.
And we don’t even have to speak hypothetically, just look at what happened to other scriptures.
The Bible exists in:
-hundreds of translations
-different versions (KJV, NIV, ESV, NASB, etc.) with verses missing, added, or bracketed depending on the manuscript
On top of that, you ended up with:
Catholics, Orthodox, Protestant and hundreds of denominations with their own bibles or biblical canons. All with theological differences, sometimes major differences and often built on how texts were translated or interpreted. So preserving the Qur’an and Salah in one language for formal worship isn’t oppression rather it’s exactly what prevented that kind of fragmentation.
Ironically, this is not unique to Islam. In Judaism, Hebrew is used as the liturgical language for prayer and scripture. A Jew in Europe, Africa, or Asia still recites core prayers in Hebrew, even if it’s not their native language.
Learning a few phrases and verses in Arabic for prayer does not erase your identity. Muslims speak thousands of different languages, come from completely different cultures and maintain their own traditions and identities so long as it’s not polytheistic in nature yet we are united in one form of worship. This is unity without losing diversity.
Historically, Islam didn’t erase cultures either. Persians stayed Persian, Turks stayed Turkish, Africans kept their identities, South Asians kept theirs, white Muslims in the Balkans and Central Asia kept theirs. Islam spread globally without forcing people to abandon their languages or cultures so long as it doesn’t include paganism/polytheism.
His argument confuses structure with oppression. Every preserved system has standards. One of the reasons the Qur’an remains unchanged, memorised, and recited identically worldwide is precisely because of this preservation in its original language. Same reason I as a Nigerian Yoruba Muslim led a group of foreign Muslims across multiple ethnicities in salah(ritual prayer) and we prayed the exact same way and recited the exact same words side by side, at an airport despite us having not met each other ever and probably would never meet again.
If anything, this is one of Islam’s strongest points, not a weakness.

Ilorin here don't have problem with our over 120,000 fulanis
English

A Fulani man refused to leave the Yoruba man's land. The Yoruba man questioned him about what he could be doing on his land. The Fulani said he wouldn't leave his land, and if a Yoruba man was on his land, he would not chase him away. The Yoruba responded that a Yoruba person wouldn't be on his land without a reason.
