Being ọmọ Yorùbá is a great source of pride no matter where I am in the world.
As an Oníṣẹ̀ṣe, I wear my beads with pride. They always stand out and naturally draw people's attention. Many people stop to ask about them, opening the door to meaningful conversations about my faith, my culture and my journey as an Oníṣẹ̀ṣe.
I never hide who I am. My identity, my traditions and my heritage are part of me and I wear them with dignity and respect.
Being ọmọ Yorùbá is more than an identity, it's a legacy, a culture and a way of life.
I am proud of who I am, wherever I go 🙌🏿 🙌🏿 🙌🏿 🥰 🥰 🥰 💙 💙 💙

1. We need to know if this is a new video. This may be strange to some people but if you follow me here, you would have seen people posting old videos or even videos from other continents as theirs.
2. We need to know where the farm is. If it is situated within forest reserve, the farmer may need to vacate the farm, depending on what they discuss with the government.
3. If the farm isn't located within the reserved area, the next thing is to protect the elephants
a. The people in the area should not stone the elephants and throw other things at it. This might get the elephant angry. The one in this video is most likely a male and it's moving alone. If they attack a male that's in musth, it would be a big problem for the people.
b. They can get cow dung and mix it with hot chili pepper and engine oil. When it dries up, they can hoist it on a tall post and burn it. Elephants have very sensitive olfactory system. The pungent smoke acts as an intense olfactory and respiratory irritant, making elephants uncomfortable enough to turn back.
c. If they don't want to burn things. They can grind the chili and mix it with engine oil. Then, they should dip old clothes in it and hang the clothes close to the perimeters. It should drive the elephant away.
4. Most importantly, we MUS NOT kill the elephant(s).
Thank you
My people, know your èèwọ̀ (taboos). It is very important in life's journey.
Understanding what your Orí accepts and what it rejects can help guide your path and protect your well being. Seeing so many young people battling medical conditions and various life challenges saddens me deeply.
Learn to accept what your Orí has chosen for you. Don't be in a hurry. There are no shortcuts in life and you cannot outrun the destiny that is yours. Walk your path with patience, wisdom and understanding.
Please, do not allow foreign religions to deceive you into abandoning the knowledge of your own spiritual heritage. There is life within life(ayé wa ninu ayé) and there is wisdom in knowing who you are and where you come from.
May life not overwhelm us(aye oni mu wá oooo)....Àṣẹ!!!

I agree with her subject to interpretation. I'll explain.
It takes a level of trust and vulnerability to be sexually involved with a person. It therefore makes sense that if you have an emergency, you should be able to reach out to your sexual partner. Sexual relations is still a form of relationship. Why are we having regular sex if we cant come through for each other when it matters? If I can help people I'm not sleeping with, I should be able to come through for someone I'm sleeping with. That is common sense and good conscience.
Where the problem lies is her hidden interpretation. She clearly wants to be paid for sex. That is different, and very okay to be honest. Just be open about wanting to be paid for sex. Don't frame it to mean calling a man for help. People like this will demand to be paid for sex, demand for wig, demand for full rent, demand for change of wardrobe, travel allowance and other random wants. Basically, "make I just chop him money. I'm entitled to it."
To me, all forms of sexual relations are okay, as long as both parties know what they are doing:
Sugar daddy/ sugar baby ✅️
FWB ✅️
One night stand ✅️
Pay per knack ✅️
Casual sex ✅️
Mistress/Side chic ✅️
Obough on the bench/reserve obough ✅️
Nigeria would have been a great country if not for its citizens.
I know you were expecting that I would blame the government because it's the easiest target.
But you are all wrong and I'm right. The problem of Nigeria has always been the citizens not the government. That's why South Africans are kicking them out.
I will always support South Africa and every other country in the world to kick Nigerians out of their country if they can.
The problem of every dysfunctional society is the citizens not the government, because the government comes from the citizens.
And Power belongs to the citizens not the government...

Doesn't matter how much talent you have. As long as you believe you don't have the right to be on the same pitch as your opposition, you're right. They ALL have a huge mental block that I've been watching for decades since my first world cup in 1994.
You can take Senegal or Nigeria with all their superstars and put them on that pitch against Uzbekistan and I promise you they will find a way to look like an inferior team next to Uzbekistan, even though that makes no sense.
I've seen one of the most absurdly stacked Nigeria teams of all time, where 7 of the starting 11 were starters in the Premier League or La Liga, and they found a way to not just lose to this shit Greece side, but also get completely dominated in the process, completely unable to move the ball and resorting to the usual long ball, hit and hope nonsense.
It makes no sense unless you realise that all African teams south of the Sahara suffer from a debilitating inferiority complex that has never been addressed. If you don't believe you can do something, you are correct.
WATCH 🇳🇬⛏️: Aerial View of the Illegal Lithium Mining Site at the Daba axis of the Old Oyo National Park, where millions of naira worth of mineral resources are carted away daily through illegal mining activities.
Just remembered that someone made a bill board to advertise lithium in Igbeti axis. I don't want to go deeper, but let me add this for the benefit of doubt. If a truck wants to load from Igbeti to Lagos or Ogun State, the booking cost is about 1.5m to 1.7m, and this money will be shared among some stakeholders in the community. There are also some people in charge of finding trucks to carry the illegal mining products from Igbeti to Lagos or Ogun, and trucks can also load from Soro in Kishi too. A truck finder, also known as the (Dan Commission), will collect a range of 300k to 500k for looking for a truck to carry illegal lithium.
Now, more than 30 trucks usually load in a day, but they mostly move at night, and occasionally they can also move during the day too. The illegal mining business in Igbeti and Kishi is so deep and very organized. Any independent journalist can go there and verify my information, but I will advise you to be more careful, especially if you want to take pictures.

Nigeria youth don't mind Remi Tinubu. Keep applying for that bank work. Keep applying for that oil company work. Don't sell Akara jare. How graduate like you go dey sell Akara when you know how to speak English. Akara selling is for people who didn't go to school, since you are a graduate you're very automatically rich!
Being a stoner isn't just collecting lighters and grinders. It's understanding your relationship with cannabis. Know your limits, respect tolerance breaks, stay hydrated, recognize depersonalization if it happens, understand strain differences, and never ignore what your body is trying to tell you.
These Christians never cease to amaze me with the way they praise Jesus and God using different Oríkì Òrìṣà? Who told you that your Jesus or God has Oríkì? Are they from Yorùbá land?
One thing is certain, if you are Yorùbá, you can never completely run away from your shadow (Òjìjì), which is your root and source. No matter where life takes you or what religion you practice, your heritage remains a part of you. The blood of your ancestors still flows through your veins and the legacy they left behind continues to live within us.
That is why many people, knowingly or unknowingly, still embrace aspects of Yorùbá culture, language and traditions. Our roots have a way of calling us back and reminding us of who we are.
E dákun, do not stop reciting the Oríkìs. It continues to awaken and honor our Òrìṣà, ancestors and Ẹgbẹ́ throughout Yorùbá land. Our heritage is alive and cannot be erased.
Iná àdébọ̀ ó lè parẹ́ lailai. The sacred flame will never go out. We keep growing stronger every day.

Did you know that one of the most important things in life is to know yourself, especially your èèwọ̀ (taboos)? Everyone has things they should do and things they should not do. Understanding these can help guide your life in many ways, including your food choices, clothing and personal decisions.
Many young people are dying or facing different health challenges. One possible reason is that they do not truly know themselves or understand their taboos. They may not know the foods they should or should not eat, the colours they should or should not wear or the type of business or work that is suitable for them and what they should avoid.
In Ìṣẹ̀ṣe, your Orí is your personal guide and destiny. When you do not understand yourself or pay attention to what is meant for you, you may find yourself struggling or moving away from the path meant for your life.
Our forefathers and foremothers valued self-knowledge, respected their Orí and lived in harmony with their destiny.
Always involve your Orí in the decisions you make and the direction you take in life. Take time to understand yourself, your purpose and the path you are meant to follow.
Reconnect with your roots and learn about your Orí. It can help you live a more balanced, meaningful and fulfilling life.

The Yoruba King Forbidden from Seeing His Mother
Among the Yoruba people of Odo-Owa in present-day Kwara State is a fascinating royal tradition that places extraordinary restrictions on the town's monarch.
The traditional ruler of Odo-Owa, Oba Joshua Adegbuyi Adeyemi, Aniyeloye II, is forbidden by ancient custom from seeing his mother after ascending the throne. Whether she is alive or deceased, the king must never set his eyes on her again. This rule is one of the sacred taboos attached to the royal office and has been observed by successive monarchs of the kingdom.
The restrictions do not end there.
The king is also prohibited from seeing the body of anyone who dies within the town. During funerals, he must avoid viewing the deceased, as tradition considers the throne sacred and spiritually separated from death and mourning.
Equally remarkable is another age-old custom concerning childbirth. The monarch is not permitted to see a newborn baby—even if the child is his own. He must wait until the infant is at least six months old before he can see, hold, or publicly acknowledge the child.
These customs may appear unusual in modern times, but they are deeply rooted in the traditional beliefs of the Odo-Owa people. In many Yoruba kingdoms, the king is regarded as more than a political leader. He is seen as a sacred figure whose actions are governed by customs believed to preserve the spiritual wellbeing of the kingdom. Certain sights, events, or activities are therefore considered incompatible with the sanctity of the royal office.
Across Yorubaland, different kingdoms maintain their own unique royal taboos. Some monarchs are forbidden from eating certain foods, while others are restricted from appearing in particular places or participating in specific ceremonies. These customs, passed down through generations, continue to shape the institution of traditional rulership despite the realities of modern life.
For Oba Joshua Adegbuyi Adeyemi, Aniyeloye II, the crown is not merely a symbol of authority—it is also a lifelong commitment to observing ancient traditions, even when they demand profound personal sacrifices, such as never seeing his own mother or holding his own child during the first six months of life.
His story serves as a reminder that many Nigerian traditional institutions continue to preserve customs that have endured for centuries, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and spiritual worldview of their communities.
80% of the people in Southwest don't know that Old Oyo park contain massive gold and lithium reserve. The sudden escalation of insecurity in the region is a diversion and unfortunately some Politicians and Traditional leaders in Southwest are fully involved because the miners can never just come and extract gold and lithium without locals involved. Shehu Umar Hope the Yorùba politicians will not sit on their hands while the Old Oyo Park becomes another Sambisa 🙄
