Topic: Yorùbá as a Political & Geopolitical Currency in the World

In an increasingly interconnected world, the strength of a people is not measured only by population, territory, or economic resources. Political organisation, cultural influence, human capital, strategic networks, and the ability to negotiate collectively can also become important forms of power.

For the Yorùbá, this raises an important question: Can Yorùbá identity, culture, population, institutions, economic resources, and global connections become a form of political and geopolitical currency?

How can Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá community transform cultural influence and human capital into greater political relevance, economic partnerships, and international visibility?

The discussion will explore:

* What does it mean for a people to possess political and geopolitical currency?
* How can Yorùbá population, culture, economy, and global networks create strategic influence?
* The role of the Yorùbá diaspora in global diplomacy, business, academia, and culture
* Can cultural influence translate into political and economic power?
* The importance of unity, institutions, leadership, and collective interests
* How Yorùbáland can engage strategically with governments, corporations, and global institutions
* What lessons can be learned from other globally influential peoples and communities?
* How can Yorùbá identity become an asset in the changing global geopolitical order?

Can the Yorùbá become not only a cultural force, but also a strategic political and geopolitical force?

Geopolitically in case anything happens in Nigeria the following things will happen;
-OIC and the Gulf countries will support the Northwest and North East of Nigeria
-The Vatican and the catholic world will support the South East of Nigeria.

Who will support the Yoruba people? Instead you are either cursing America today, France tomorrow or joining communist and confused Marxist Pan Africanists to be cursing any European power. Meanwhile in the North more OIC and Arab countries are going to establish their embassies in Kano and the South East is getting more intertwined with the Vatican and the Holy See better than ever?

Anybody who tells you that you don’t need foreign backers geopolitically for alignment as a subnational is a joker.

It was a country that helped the western region to industrialise.

Open your eyes.

On Wednesday at the Nigeria Mission House in New York, US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and I signed an agreement to deepen American investment in Nigeria’s mining sector.

This is an important step in strengthening Nigeria-US cooperation around our mineral resources, valued at about $700 billion. The framework covers geological data and exploration, mineral development and processing, infrastructure, and technical capacity.

Nigeria cannot remain a source of raw materials while others capture most of the value. We want more local processing, quality jobs, stronger skills and greater opportunities for Nigerian businesses.

In the coming months, we will turn this framework into projects, investments and real results for our people. We will identify viable projects and build partnerships that create value for Nigerians and our US partners.

This is how we turn our mineral wealth into lasting economic growth and advance the diversification goals of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

[Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun, CON @DapoAbiodunCON]

We have taken another significant step towards unlocking the economic potential of Ogun State with the signing of Memoranda of Understanding with DP World MEA FZE for the development of the Gateway Deep Sea Port and the Ogun State Blue Marine Special Economic Zone.

The projects, witnessed by our President, His Excellency Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, in Paris, France, are expected to attract more than $7 billion in initial investment and create over 50,000 direct jobs, while opening new opportunities in manufacturing, logistics, maritime services, exports and other sectors.

The Gateway Deep Sea Port in Ogun Waterside will be integrated with a proposed 10,000-hectare Blue Marine Special Economic Zone and connected to other strategic infrastructure, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and our Gateway International Airport.

For us, this is about much more than building a port. We are creating an integrated economic corridor capable of connecting Ogun State’s productive capacity to markets across Africa and the rest of the world.

We appreciate President Tinubu for the leadership and federal support that have helped move this long-standing vision closer to reality. We equally commend the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, the Nigerian Ports Authority and all our partners for their commitment.

Under our Building Our Future Together agenda, we remain committed to attracting investments, creating jobs and positioning Ogun State as a leading industrial, logistics and investment destination.

[Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT]

The decisions we have taken to reposition Nigeria’s oil and gas sector are beginning to bear fruit.

Since assuming office, I have signed a series of Presidential Directives and Executive Orders to make investment in Nigeria more competitive, reduce the cost and time required to develop projects, provide greater certainty to investors and ensure that our natural resources deliver greater value to our people.

One of those reforms introduced specific incentives to unlock onshore and shallow-water gas projects that had remained undeveloped for years.

Today, we are seeing the result.

AMNI International and TotalEnergies have taken an $800 million Final Investment Decision to develop the Ima Gas Field, discovered in 1973 and left underground for more than fifty years.

For Nigerians, this means work for our engineers, technicians and contractors. It means opportunities for Nigerian businesses, jobs and economic activity in our host communities, and more export earnings for our country.

AMNI, a Nigerian company, holds the majority interest in the project. Around 60% of the development workforce is expected to come from the host communities.

Ima is expected to produce about 350 million cubic feet of gas every day at peak and supply about one-third of the gas required for the expansion of Nigeria LNG.

This is what our reforms are intended to achieve, to move Nigeria’s resources from potential to production and translate them into jobs, incomes and opportunity for our people.

We have more to unlock.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President

A declared Iranian bomb doesn't just anger Washington and Tel Aviv, it hands Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt the excuse they've wanted to build their own. Five nuclear powers sprinting at once is more dangerous to Tehran than Iran alone at the threshold, arms folded, saying nothing.

It's the guy at the bar who lets people believe he knows martial arts. Same respect as the one who actually throws punches without throwing one, and without every tough guy in the room feeling the need to test him. Japan gets read as stable for the same reason. North Korea, which actually crossed the line, got sanctions, fear, and a region arming against it.

Power here is often what you don't confirm but only while three things hold: your adversaries believe it, your domestic politics don't force your hand, and your allies stay reliable. Lose one, and the safe middle path stops being safe. You either look like a bluffer, or you're forced into the real sprint.

[Aare kurunmi kakanfo @AKakanfo]

A country can be rich in resources and lose its identity.

Deculturalization is the hidden cost of development. Strip a people of their culture and you erode their self-confidence. They start measuring themselves by someone else's yardstick, and that's where the "sense of deprivation" comes from.

For optimum performance, a man must know himself. So must a nation. A society that doesn't know itself imports its standards, its ambitions and its insecurities.

Modernize. Trade with the world. Learn from everyone. But do not lose yourself.
sovereignty isn't only borders and armies. It's the power to define your own success.

Southern Rhodesia had been white-run since the 1920s, but full segregation hardened over decades, the Land Apportionment Act (1930) carved up the country so the best farmland went to the white minority while Africans were pushed onto reserves. By the 1960s, roughly 200,000–270,000 white settlers controlled a country of several million Black Africans. Many, like the woman in the clip, lived a genuinely colonial-elite lifestyle: pools, domestic staff, private schools, country clubs, built on land and labor they didn't have to compete for.

She; She’s speaking poolside in Rhodesia, likely late 1970s, the final years of white minority rule, as the Bush War raged between Ian Smith's government and Black nationalist forces. Ian Smith's UDI in 1965 was a direct refusal of Britain's push toward Black majority rule. What followed was the Rhodesian Bush War, ZANU and ZAPU guerrilla forces fighting an increasingly brutal counter-insurgency.
She predicted the war. It came. She said majority rule wasn't happening, but In 1980, it did. Rhodesia became Zimbabwe under Mugabe!

Most white Rhodesians left within a decade. Some stayed, protected at first, until land reform reversed the very logic she'd used to justify staying in the first place.
Her argument didn't die with Rhodesia. Every debate today over foreign rights and hegemony, is the same question of control, disguised as another thing. Many.

Her speech wasn't prophecy. It was a system, right before it ended.

He blessed Yemen.
He blessed Syria.
When they asked him to bless Najd, the high ground where Riyadh sits today, he said nothing.
Three times. Nothing.
Then he named it: that’s where the horn of Satan would rise. The Khawarij. The ones who wreck the religion from the inside.
Wahhabism came from the same dirt.
Some warnings don’t expire. They just get a new logo.

[The Yoruba Times @TheYorubaTimes]

The Yoruba Times exists to give the indigenous people in the global south a press of its own: a record written from the inside, for a people who have too often been described by others and rarely by themselves.

Our vision is a global south that is informed, self-aware and connected across every place it has taken root from Ibadan to Ilorin, Lagos to London, Abeokuta to Atlanta, Salvador da Bahia to Havana. We believe a nation that reads itself accurately can govern itself wisely, and that the first step toward any political future worth having is a shared, honest understanding of who we are and what is happening to us.

We pursue that through four commitments:

•Memory. Recovering and publishing Yoruba history, philosophy, language and custom not as folklore, but as the living intellectual inheritance of a civilization.
•Journalism. Reporting the news that shapes our lives , security, land, economy, politics, religion, with rigour and without deference to the interests that prefer our silence.
•Diaspora. Treating the Yoruba abroad and the descendants of the Atlantic dispersal as one continuous people, and building the editorial bridges that make that connection practical rather than sentimental.
•Ideas. Hosting serious argument on federalism, restructuring and especially the Yoruba place in West African and global affairs the long conversation about our future, conducted in public.

In the long run, The Yoruba Times aims to become the paper of record for the indigenous civilisations worldwide: the first place any sub Saharan African turns to understand their own condition, and the first place the world turns to understand the black African. A people with its own press is a people with its own voice and a people with its own voice is very difficult to erase.

Religious extremists are scared of TYF. They are scared of Awoism, Yorùbá nationalism and Political Yorubanism that defends Yorùbá identity and power before religion and other fundamentalist doctrines that has destroyed the core North.

What makes you Yorùbá is beyond dancing, Owanbe, Oblee, Agbada or eating Amala. It has to do with the consciousness, ideology and brotherhood across the world in the Yorùbá speaking world.

You are scared of the league of Imam in Yorubaland because they are independent of the NSCIA and since then you have been having a mental meltdown.
You want to censor what Think Yoruba First Organization page can post and cannot post???

You want to turn the Yoruba race into the Hausa race who are only existing on paper but have been conquered physically and spiritually by the Fulanis via political Islam???

Unfortunately for you, Think Yoruba First Organization will be here till ends of time by the grace of the Almighty and we shall wax stronger and stronger.

You hate Yoruba nationalism but promote Islamic supremacy yet you come from a multi religious ethnicity and region??? Any sane person will surely see you for you are.

You believe in the imposition of Sharia law in Yorùbáland and we say NO! because Yorùbáland is a secular nation from the beginning of time. Your extremist views as regards religion and your hatred for non Muslims is well known on this app. You have allegedly called a terrorist sympathizer by many Nigerians on this app, so we are not surprised about your outburst. Unfortunately your mental meltdown has just started because we will use our platforms to promote pro Yorùbá Islamic institutions till eternity, please get used to it because you won't win this battle that you started because those powerful than you tried it and they were disgraced.

We advocate for a Yorubaland where all religions whether big or small will be protected and given equal rights which is what you and your fellow fanatics are against.

Yorùbánism without Yoruba political consciousness is useless. You want us to be like the Yorùbás of Kwara? They are 90 percent of the State yet a minority Fulani have used political Islam to cage and domesticate them???? Is that your definition of Yorubaness????

We are just starting and you will surely self exile at the appropriate time.

God Almighty will grant us victory.
Amin.

It was mostly Igbo soldiers under Colonel Maimalari that crushed the Tiv uprising against Fulani hegemony in the 1960s.
The question we need to ask is why are Igbos always supporting Fulani hegemony from the inception of Nigeria against Middle belt ethnic nations???
In your write up, you gave clues to the answer and I will properly clarify it.
The Middle belt are the line preventing the Fulani powers from controlling the River-Niger Benue confluence from Niger state to Taraba state. Allowing the Middle belt any form of political freedom will shut off the caliphate from accessing the South directly and their eventual march to the Atlantic Ocean.
What does the Igbos want? The Igbos need the following;
-Access to the sea
-International borders with Central Africa (Cameroon)
-Lebensraum (More lands in order to accommodate their population)
-Destroy the autonomy of their neighbours because they want to become the superpowers of the South.

The irony is that the Middle belt and Igbos are largely Christians yet they continue to support the caliphate against their fellow Christian brothers because of geopolitical interests which is why Christian brotherhood is useless in geopolitics on the long run.

What liberated the South South minorities was the Biafran war. It was that war that destroyed and curtailed Igbo hegemony in the Niger Delta which they are trying to reinstate via Biafran agitation or asking for state of origin be destroyed and replaced with state of residence.

The constant sabotage of the middle belt by Igbo political leaders since 1914 was what created the Fulani hegemonic monsters that is destroying Nigeria for the past 60 years.

The Torodbe-Fulani caliphate and the Igbo nationalist power project have one fundamental mission, the subjugation and assimilation of ethnic minorities in Nigeria whether in the middle belt or in the South.
The enemies of your fathers cannot be your friend.

[Aare kurunmi kakanfo @AKakanfo]

UTHMAN DAN FODIO WAS NOT ETHNICALLY FULANI

According to J.R Willis, the Torodbe group were rootless and wandering people who adopted political Islam as a tool of identity before they fused with the Fulani ethnicity.
Dan Fodio belong to the Torodbe group who were nomads and were assimilated into the Fulani ethnicity via political Islamism and intermarriage.

According to Finn Finglestad, it is therefore academically incorrect to regard the Dan Fodio Jihad as a Fulani Jihad, it was a Torodbe-Fulani Jihad.
We need to understand the ethnogenesis of the Sahel and I will be doing proper and in depth analysis of this aspect of history.

Dan Fodio was not a Fulani just the way the Yaradua’s are Tuaregs not Fulanis.
The Sultan of Sokoto is not Fulani, he is Torodbe. In the same vein, the Shehu of Borno is Kanembu-Arab not Kanuri.
The Kanembu are Arabized Chadic people who speak Arabic language in present day Chad today.

Most of the aristocratic families in Arewa today are assimilated Arabs, Tuaregs, Torodbes who are using the Fulani identity for convenience.

This gives credence to many of my assertions that what we see in the core North is the frontier agenda for the Arabization of West Africa.

[Aare kurunmi kakanfo @AKakanfo]

The Igbo agenda and Ideology that never made it to reality but also stood as a disguise for an unreasonable struggle that we all paid for and are still paying for.

This is geopolitics.

[HABIBU YUSUF SODANGI @HabibaIdri40129]

Some Nigerians may be hearing the name Bichiia Maisango for the first time, so perhaps a little background is necessary.

Bichiia Maisango, whose real name is Ibrahim Aliyu Maisango, is a DSS officer who became known to many people through his social media activities, particularly his Hausa-language commentary and his outspoken views on issues affecting Northern Nigeria.

On June 2, 2026, he was invited to the DSS headquarters in Abuja. He honoured the invitation. According to his wife, that was the last time he returned home. He has remained in DSS custody since then.

When concerns about his detention became public, the DSS said it does not detain people arbitrarily. Its spokesperson said there was a detention order and that he would be investigated and charged to court where necessary.

That was in June.

We are now in August.

And this is where the story becomes difficult to ignore.

According to the latest account from his wife, Bichiia was dismissed from the DSS on July 28. His lawyer had reportedly written to the service on July 15 asking for access to him and wrote again on July 22 seeking his release. The family says those requests received no response.

A man was invited by a security agency. He has spent more than two months in its custody. The agency says there is a basis for his detention and that he would be investigated and charged where necessary.

Then he is dismissed from the service.

Yet he remains in the custody of the same agency.

And Nigerians still do not know, from the DSS, what offence he is alleged to have committed.

This is bigger than Bichiia Maisango.

It is about what happens when the power of the state is brought to bear on an individual citizen.

If there is a case against him, let the case be known and let him face it in court.

If the investigation has produced evidence of an offence, then prosecute him.

If there is a lawful reason why he must remain in detention, his lawyers and family should not have to discover that reason through rumours and media reports.

But if none of those things has happened, then what exactly are we doing?

We cannot build a country governed by laws and then make detention itself the punishment before a person has even been told publicly what he is being punished for.

I am not asking anyone to agree with everything Bichiia has said or written. I am not even asking anyone to like his politics, his activism or his opinions.

I am asking something much more basic.

What is the case against him?

Because the DSS has had him since June.

The service has had enough time to investigate.

His lawyer has asked to see him.

His family has been asking questions.

He has now reportedly been dismissed from the organisation.

So if there is a case, take it to court.

If there isn't, release him.

That is not a favour to Bichiia Maisango.

That is what due process is supposed to mean.

And perhaps this is why his case deserves the attention of Nigerians who have never heard his name before.

Because today it is Bichiia.

Tomorrow, it could be somebody whose opinions you agree with.

The protection of the law only has meaning when it is extended even to people whose voices make those in power uncomfortable.

DSS, Nigerians are asking a very simple question: what exactly is keeping Bichiia Maisango in detention?

Give the country an answer.

Solomon Dalung Esq.
