Super El Niño Explanation in Yorùbá

You probably have been wondering why it's super hot these days. You've also heard about El Niño and want to know what it means for an average Nigerian. I made this easy to grasp explainer video for you, in Yorùbá Language.

My Hausa people, do not compromise your identity because of religion. Do not allow religious differences to erase who we are as a people. Religion and ethnicity are two different things.

You can be a Hausa Muslim, Hausa Christian, or Hausa traditionalist and still be Hausa. Your faith is between you and God, but your identity, dignity, culture, language, history, and collective future belong to all of us.

We must learn from history. Mahatma Gandhi understood the power of unity. He worked to bring Hindus and Muslims together in the struggle for India's independence because he understood that a divided people are easier to weaken, control, and manipulate.

Our greatest strength is not in allowing religion to separate us—it is in recognizing what we share. One language. One cultural heritage. One history. One homeland. One people with a common interest in dignity, development, security, education, and a better future.

Let nobody convince you that being Hausa must come second to religious or sectarian identity. You do not have to abandon your religion to embrace your ethnicity, and you do not have to abandon your ethnicity to practice your religion.

Hausa unity does not mean religious uniformity. It means respecting our differences while refusing to allow those differences to destroy our common identity.

We need to know ourselves, value ourselves, educate ourselves, organize ourselves, and stand together for our legitimate interests. We must stop allowing politicians, clerics, elites, or outsiders to use religion as a weapon for dividing us against one another.

Unity does not mean that we must agree on everything. It means that we recognize that what unites us is greater than what divides us.

My Hausa people, let us wake up. Let us preserve our language. Let us protect our culture. Let us teach our children their history. Let us respect every Hausa person regardless of religion or sect. Let us build bridges instead of walls.

Religion should guide your relationship with God. Humanity should guide your relationship with your fellow human beings. And Hausa identity should never be sacrificed on the altar of religious or political division.

Know yourself. Value yourself. Unite. Organize. Mobilize. Build.

Hausa first in identity. Humanity first in our dealings with one another. Unity in our common purpose.

[Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT]

The Hausa people are great pillars that play a vital role in the unity and progress of Nigeria.
The Hausa language, without doubt, has flourished and has become a major language of unity and commerce across the world.

I congratulate the vast Hausa community on the occasion of Hausa Day, which is being celebrated at the historic Daura Palace today.

President

This is Arko Minnawi the transitional governor of Darfur speaking to millions of black Darfur refugees expelled from their ancestral homeland by Arab forces from the RSF in Sudan.
This is what most media outlets will not show you and what most Pan African big accounts will not tell you.
What the Arabs are doing to black indigenous people who are Muslims in Darfur in this 21st century is greatest genocide of our time.
We are witnessing the total and scorched earth erasure of black indigenous Muslims out of Sudan in order to complete the Arabization of Sudan and in order to take over the gold and mineral resources in Darfur.
They are fighting back and I pray they defeat this hordes of darkness.
The same forces erasing Black Muslims in Darfur are the same people killing indigenous blacks in the middle belt of Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and Central Africa Republic.

I warmly felicitate with all sons and daughters of Yorùbáland, custodians of our indigenous heritage, traditional institutions, cultural enthusiasts and all who cherish the rich values and traditions of our people on the occasion of Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Day.

Ìṣẹ̀ṣe celebration is a reminder of our roots, our identity and the enduring wisdom of our forebears. It represents a heritage built on respect, communal values, cultural pride and reverence for the traditions handed down through generations.

As we celebrate today, may we continue to preserve the beauty of our culture, uphold its noble values and pass them on proudly to generations yet unborn.

Ẹ kú àjọyọ̀. Ẹ kú Ìṣẹ̀ṣe. Àṣà wa ni ìdánimọ̀ wa.

May peace, unity and prosperity continue to abide with our people and Lagos State.

Happy Ìṣẹ̀ṣe Day!

As we count down to 'Isese Day', let’s set the records straight.

There’s a lot of talk about our culture. But what’s Myth and what’s Truth?

Swipe to learn 👉

From Ikeja to Badagry to Ikorodu to Lagos Island and to Epe.
Across the 5 IBILE Divisions, one thing is clear:
Isese is our identity.

Isese is not outdated.
Isese is not division.
Isese is our language. Our values. Our festivals. Our way of life.

This August, Lagos honours our roots. Let’s learn from our culture, not assumptions.
Let’s protect it. Let’s celebrate it.

Get your mind ready.
Be Proud. Be Yoruba.
