An injustice to one is an injustice to all. As power is being shifted to Local Government, we must ask ourselves who are those representi g us at the Local government level. What are their values, do they stand to nurture or do they stand to destroy young mind. A young man in his early 20s should not be subjected to such punishment over a post. He should not be locked up in same prison as Boko Haram killers, there is no justice in a system where the children of the poor and weak are treated as rags. Shame on you chairman Haruna Ibrahim for jailing this young man. He has begged and retracted his post. He has given everything he has, what else do you want? His life? Just bcuz you are in position of power? Power is transient. #freeOkunvoice @okunvoice @AKakanfo @ThinkYoruba_1st @TyfPacc @SaharaReporters @sowore @DAPLawFirm @kogi_xcommunity @KogiPoliceNG @OfficialOAU @officialABAT

Vikings hat would be inspiration for those without original culture, like those who adopted lion emblem with no real lions native to their jungle. Yoruba is too rich to be imitators. When creativity becomes depreciation, lines should be drawn. We are better than this. #egbaliganza Don’t fix what is not broken.

Pete Hegseth just unveiled “Greater North America.” A new strategic map — from Greenland to the Gulf of America — claiming every sovereign nation north of the equator is part of America’s security perimeter.

If you think only South Africa, Ghana, Mozambique, and Kenya are the only ones having problems with Igbos. Think again “ Watch “ 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Video 1: Pakistan Airport officials stopping Igbos at their Airport because of their behaviour in Pakistan Video 2: Liberia Government is closing Igbo shops across the country and asking them to leave because of their behaviour in Liberia Video 3: Vietnamese officials clashing with the Igbos who have been arrested for their bad behaviours Video 4: Igbos clashing with Indian officials over their bad behaviour. Apparently, no week goes by that an Igbo person does not get arrested in India .. “Research this “ More in the comments !!

The Igbos of Nigeria are very provocative, disrespectful & lack basic manners. They must fight for their own Biafra in Nigeria & installl their kings there. That king can then start teaching them how to behave in all the countries they go to uninvited🚮🚮

“I’m pissed off that Nigerians could come here and claim to have a king here.” Prince Xhanti Sigcawu from the Amathole House of Traditional Leaders says the government must deport the people who participated in the coronation of a so-called Nigerian king in the Eastern Cape for undermining the authority of local kings. @Sipha_KemaSA reports Watch: tinyurl.com/ywhme9p9

Titilola Damilola wrote. Yesterday at Lisabi Day in Abeokuta, I looked around and asked myself, kini gbogbo eleyi? What is this? If awakening means losing ourselves in borrowed identities, then we are not awakening, we are drifting. I am Egba. My mother is Egba. So I know what Egba heritage looks like. I know the pride, the simplicity, the identity in our dressing. What I saw yesterday? It didn’t feel like us. At some point, our cultural expressions started looking like a costume party, confused, mixed, and disconnected. We are borrowing aesthetics from everywhere, yet slowly forgetting what is originally ours. This is not about criticism for the sake of it. It is about preservation. Culture is not something you decorate, it is something you understand, protect, and represent correctly. You don’t awaken a culture by abandoning its identity. You awaken it by owning it fully. If Egba people cannot confidently represent Egba culture in Abeokuta, then where exactly will it be preserved? Yoruba awakening does not start with festivals. It starts with the mindset. Knowing who we, respecting it and refusing to dilute it for trends or aesthetics. If we don’t define our culture, others will and we will start wailing again. Yoruba Ronu o!

Last year, Ghanaians almost took up arms against Nigerians in Ghana because of some Igbos who want to install a King in Ghana and also build an Igbo kingdom in Ghana. Yorubas have been in that area called Ghana for over 500 years since the days of Ife empire and Oyo empire and we are well instituted into the Ghana society. But since the arrival of a strange people who never had any great kingdom or empire before colonialism, we have all being suffering under the name Nigerians for the sin of others. The same problem they are creating in Ghana, they are also creating in Benin republic. That was how a group of addle headed infantile thinking group from the same stock went to create Biafra market in Benin republic. The same group is also crowning kings in Lagos and across Yorubaland without any respect for the indigenous people. The same people have gone to South Africa to set the rest of other peace loving Nigerians up with this senseless provocation of the warlike Zulu people. You left Nigeria to go and create parallel Igbo kingdoms in the lands of other people and you think you are sincerely not ma:d???? Sincerely, we are cohabiting with mad people and we need to have honest conversations. This was how Azikwe left Onitsha and started to look for how he will rule Yorubaland by fire by force. We have a problem and it is high time, other Nigerian ethnicities start dissociating themselves from this hostile and irresponsible group whose stock in trade is the constant threat to indigenous people across Africa and the world. South Africa was heaven to Nigerian professors and intellectuals before this crazy spare part and anyhow people started trooping to South Africa to create chaos. We cannot continue like this.

FUNKE AKINDELE AT THE HEART OF INDUSTRY BRAWL 2. Is Toyin Abraham gesture eye-service - knowing they aren't friends? Let me be direct. Unless both women are fighting over the same man. Unless one has been fingered in the death of the other's child. Unless one directly moved to strangle the other's livelihood and close the doors of her bread - there is no conflict in Yoruba land, none, that justifies the public humiliation we witnessed from Funke Akindele. None. As usual, let me reach into history, because that is where truth ages best. In 2011, at the height of the Yoruba movie industry's internal convulsion - when the foundational association ANTP fractured and TAMPAN rose from its ruins - the industry split along generational and ideological lines. Many veterans, men and women who had walked the early corridors of the craft under the oracle himself, Hubert Ogunde, felt emotion connected to their source. They chose loyalty to the root. They stayed with ANTP.. In retaliation, the younger, commercially dominant filmmakers, who were ofcos making more productions than the veterans blacklisted the legends of the crafts. The collectively decided not to feature any of them in their projects. Among those cast into that professional cold were the irreplaceable Baba Lere Paimo and Babawande - pillars of the very tradition these younger artists inherited. And Yet. When those younger actors encountered these elders in public - at ceremonies, at premieres, in the open spaces of shared industry life - it remained obligatory to offer public respect. The elders, too, still nursing wounds and perhaps quiet anger, were duty-bound to receive those gestures. Because the conflict, however real, was professional. Not personal. Not eternal. Not a license to strip a fellow thespians of their dignity in a room full of witnesses. Now, let's bring it forward, to a more recent timeline: In 2025, when the ace director Afeez Owo made remarks in an interview that cut his younger colleague Wumi Toriola deeply - and she responded with words that set the social space ablaze - the tension was real and the hurt was visible. But when they met on location and the younger approached with greetings and an olive branch, the elder remained duty-bound to receive her. Becauee that is the way of all decent yoruba blood. So to suggest Toyin was being hypocritical by greeting Funke because they are rivals or not friends is to suggest Asiwaju should ignore OBJ at functions because they travel different political paths. And I say this as a yoruba man, addressing Yoruba actors, where culture and tradition are our defining principles. You do not have to be friends to be civil. You do not have to be allies to be courteous. You do not have to be besties to be decent. So that is not eye-service. That is ìwà - Character - and without it, we are not different from the beasts of the wild. Good Afternoon Severally... You love my flow and command of literature?

Hello Guys! @veloremit have reached out. They have assured necessary actions will be taken. They will issue a statement and their stand on this matter as it concerns denigraation of Yorùbá women. The owners are equally Yorùbás who would not watch their mother's, wives and sisters being denigraated by their ambassador. Let's stop the mails, tags and bombardment for now. Emphasis on for now 😂
