I have three pictures here, the first one is that of Vivian ifioma, one very toxic igbo lady that sees everything from the prism of ethnicity. What this lady did or said isn't my concern, I'm rather concerned about most Igbos responses to it. I had to go and check her page again when I read something like "no it's Yorùbá people that used AI to generate it" they just don't want Obi to win. I shook my head. Can you at least condemn this stupid talk first? No they won't, they'll rather bring out the victim card. That's my major concern, I know there are miscreants everywhere and this girl is one of them, what I don't understand is why intellectuals will use fine English to defend miscreants even when it's obvious that their actions were foolish. I remember how a whole Obi Ezekwezili, former minister of education was actually defending Mesioma (the jamb girl) until strong evidence was brought to her face. The second picture is that of Nnamdi kanu's lawyer, who wants to contest for house of representatives seat. As in...... Where now? Zoo? Meaning he doesn't believe in his client? This has once again validated my position that NO ONE REALLY WANT BIAFRA, NOT OJUKWU, NOT KANU, NOT NWAZURIKE, NOT SIMON EKPA, all of them were just using the agitation to negotiate for power, but unfortunately they are wasting the emotion of ordinary igbo people. The third picture is that of one Igbo guy that represents Oshodi/Isolo federal constituency, he gave 29 empowerment and 24 of them were Igbos, I'm not really concerned about the action though, because I don't expect anything better, I saw one guy comment that says "he knows those who voted for him" good! So there's nothing like marginalization, we only shout when we feel so. I remember some years back when one head of a federal parastal that was domiciled in Anambra state was brought before national assembly to come and explain how she gave 811, out of 922 federal appointments to Anambra alone. She said it's because the agency was domiciled there. That's how callous people can be, but they'll shout the loudest if they are affected. I conclusion, I want to use this opportunity to thank late chief Obafemi Awolowo, for stopping late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe from becoming south west premier. Just imagine Zik had won that premiership, imagine the state of Yorùbá land today, imagine what we would have become, imagine the insults, the denigration. So I call on Yorùbá political class of today don't ever fall for emotional blackmail, if they call you bigots, own it with your full chest, don't ever allow anyone to guilt trip you into submission. No one ever gives his territory to foreigners and not live to regret it. Good morning. © Ayodele Omo Iya Rhoda.

First, our mothers back then DIDN'T REFUSE to take their husband's name. The husband or society didn't ask them to take it at all because it wasn't part of our culture. On tracing one's lineage or generation, Yorùbá has one of the most robust systems in the world, known as oríkì (panegyric). The oríkì includes history, struggles, previous places of settlement, heroes and heroines related to your family and place of origin and so on. That's why we have oríkì ẹni (self panegyric), oríkì ìdílé (family panegyric), oríkì agboolé (compound panegyric) and oríkì ìlú (town/village panegyric). Every time a child cries as a newborn, every time they get angry as a toddler, every time they do something worthy of praise and so on, these oríkìs are blended together and recited or chanted for the child to serve several purposes such as praising the child for a job well done, calming the child down and so on. With time, every child knows who they are. I normally use myself as an example. I have only known Ado Odo since I was little. My grandfather was a very popular man there and that's our place of origin. It was when I grew up and analyzed my oríkì that I discovered that we're originally from Ìṣàgá Orílé. I had to dig further to learn the history of how my grandfather ended up in Ado Odo and I found my answers. Therefore, we didn't need surnames in Yorùbá Land to know the sons or daughters of whom we were. The system was perfect and amazing. Thank you

U and this ur new discoveries. But the reality is, if our great mothers refused to take their husband name, How do we trace our generation sir? Are you saying some of generation keeps their mothers name as what is known as their present surname? Not to antagonize but to learn more.

@arojinle1 You are right. We didn't even have surnames. Your name was yours specifically. What we had was agbo ile. Clan name

The practice of using fixed family surnames arose to satisfy colonial requirements for schools, taxes, and church records. Originally, in Yorùbá Land, the name you were given when you were born suffices. Sometimes, you add oríkì, ìnagijẹ (alias) or any orúkọ àmútọ̀runwá (predestined name). So, when you introduce yourself, you don't even add your father's name. It is when you do something that warrants tracing your lineage that they will now ask you "ọmọ tani ẹ"? Even then, the father's name is asked as additional detail, not as part of the person's name. When a woman marries, her name suffices. If they need extra information, it will always be Lágbájá, the daughter of Lámọrín.
Arojinle@arojinle1

Don't talk about what you don't know bro. You and I are both Yorùbá. Wife taking husband's surname isn't a Yorùbá tradition. To start with, surname isn't a Yorùbá tradition.

I just watched the video where Senator Adams Oshiomhole said Nigeria should nationalize MTN and withdraw its license so that a Nigerian company can take over MTN's business. I laugh. This Senator Adams Oshiomhole thinks MTN Group in South Africa will suffer. But it is actually Nigerians who will suffer more. • In 2025, MTN Nigeria paid a total of N419.91B dividends to Nigerian Shareholders — N104.98 interim and N314.93B final. • In 2025, MTN Nigeria paid N354B Tax to FIRS, more than what Dangote Cement paid at N347B • The chairman of the board of MTN Nigeria - Dr Ernest Ndukwe, OFR — 🇳🇬 • The CEO - Mr Karl Olutokun Toriola — 🇳🇬 • The CFO - Mr Modupe Kadri - 🇳🇬 Apart from the fact that MTN Nigeria is systematically important to 🇳🇬 economy, any nationalization of MTN or their asset by Nigeria will be the end of the telecommunications sector. In the same way, you greedy politicians klled the oil sector by squandering budgetted millions of dollars on non-functional oil refineries until Dangote came into the picture. Where is our oil refinery today? And you want to move to Telecommunication? You are JOKER. You have no business with MTN 's business And Nigerians must move against this bad idea.

My neighbor accused me of taking her iPhone. Last night, I decided to on generator since there was no light. My neighbor came with her gadgets to charge them. That wasn't the first time she's charging her gadgets in my room. After 1: 30 minutes, I decided to turn off the generator cause I was about going to bed. She came to collect her phone but we couldn't find it. I thought it was a joke, we searched for it everywhere but couldn't find it. I asked her if she was very sure she did take it. I saw the phone minutes ago before I turned of the generator and I was very sure of that But she mmediately became angry and said I should bring her phone. She gave me 30 minutes to provide it else her will deal with me. While we were still talking, her phone started buzzing inside her pocket, She acted surprisingly and said she didn't know it was in her pocket. This means she took it immediately and hid it. So she had a different plan to set me up and probably accuse me.I asked her to leave my room. This morning , I warned everyone never to come charge anything in my room again. Now they're saying,I am overthinking it's and overreacting..

@funshographix I absolutely agree, it is time other african countries accept the reality that not everyone wants to be part of your unity. Go back to your country and tell south africans and their businesses to also stay clear of your land then. What is good for the goose is good for the gander

South Africans has every right to tell non South Africa to leave their country. You might see it as xenophobic or whatever. It's their land. It's their call. It's their right. Leave their country for them. Don't go to a place you're not wanted. It's as simple as that.

Èṣù is not Satan. Èṣù is not the Devil. Èṣù is not evil. What you’ve been taught is a mistranslation turned into doctrine. Missionaries met a system they didn’t understand and forced it into their binary: God vs Devil, good vs evil. They couldn’t find a Devil, so they created one and named him Èṣù. But in Yoruba cosmology, Èṣù has never rebelled against Olódùmarè. There is no fallen angel here. Èṣù operates by divine authority. He is not chaos for amusement, he is the regulator of consequence. Yes, he can disrupt, confuse, rearrange situations but not to deceive you, to reveal you. A purse drops on the road, if you steal it, that’s on you. If you walk away, that’s on you. Èṣù didn’t choose, he exposes who you are. That’s why he is called Ẹlẹ́rìí —“the witness.” Not the father of lies like Satan, but the carrier of truth. The Devil is feared and avoided. Èṣù is invoked first. Before Ifá speaks, before sacrifice moves, he is acknowledged because without him, nothing travels between worlds. No Èṣù, no communication. No Èṣù, no acceptance. No Èṣù, no response from the divine. You don’t feed evil, you feed function. Kola nut, palm oil, roasted yam, you honor the gatekeeper so the gate stays open. The Devil stands against God. Èṣù stands at the crossroads between intention and action, between humans and the divine, between who you claim to be and what you prove. Yoruba spirituality never needed a singular enemy of God, that idea was imported and forced onto it. So when “Devil” became Èṣù, it wasn’t translation, it was distortion. Say it clearly, Èṣù is not Satan. Èṣù is the witness, the enforcer, the one who ensures every choice meets its consequence and at the crossroads, he reveals exactly who you are.

Yorùbás don't worship Òrìṣà, they reverence them. A kìí sin Òrìṣà cancel ❌ Bíbọ là ń bọ Òrìṣà ✅ The word "reverence" doesn't even carry the meaning of "bọ" What I'm trying to tell you, is that you cannot use the concept of Islam/Christianity/Hindu/Zoroastrianism etc to interprete Yorùbá concepts.

Visa fees should be after visas have been approved, or at least refund the payment upon rejection. It's only right. If you don't want someone in your country, DON'T TAKE THEIR MONEY.
