Yoruba to the core







This man lost his young wife at the age of 37, then organized a wake keep where he did suya for his friends or club or whatever, then came out ,sat down for the wake keep and his friends were spraying him money, he was dancing and smiling like nothing happened. Another day to remind women not to die. Like no be like say na your aged mother of 100 years dyed oo, your young wife that left her small small children, you get mind dey do wake keep abi sugar night, dey smile dey greet your friends and they were spraying you money as if you dey do wedding. Omo, is this man not supposed to be locked in a room surrounded by palm frond, is he supposed to come out? Which one is walking up and down greeting guest and smiling and thanking them as they spray you money when your wife's cold body is in the m0rtuary. If it's a woman now, even if the husband was 100 years before he dyed, she will mourn and cry, she will be isolated, she won't be seen outside nor talk to guest. If it's a woman now, ndi umuada and co wives will come out to drag her around that she committed an abomination and accuse her of keeling her husband. The next thing is that she will swear. Omo, congratulations abi condolence to the man. And to those spraying money, una no fit dey drop am for table or something, I fact why spraying money on a man that lost his young wife.

The individual depicted in the image is not Àfọ̀njá ———— The pencil drawing here comes from page 54b of Leo Frobenius’ “The Voice of Africa” published in 1913—drawn by Carl Arriens, one of his servants. My 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝟭 below shows the image as it appears exactly on the page of Frobenius’ work. It depicts the 𝗢𝗴𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗶 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗻, around the year 1910 The actual pencil drawing itself shows the artist’s inscription of the place & date, “𝗜𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟳.𝟭𝟬.𝟭𝟬”, that is: Monday, October 17, 𝟭𝟵𝟭𝟬. Whereas, Ààrẹ Àfọ̀njá had lived and died 𝟴𝟬+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿, in 𝗜̀𝗹𝗼̣𝗿𝗶𝗻 ———— This foregoing clarification is crucial because this distortion was initiated by @NigeriaStories in an attempt to cast a derisive imagery into Nigerians’ minds, of the “strongest” Yoruba man 𝘧𝘭.ca.1800. Push back the psyop‼️ Re-image Ààrẹ Àfọ̀njá‼️ Cheers‼️🥂
