The Yoruba Challenge Prt 3.
This time we serenade each other in pure Yoruba.
Who did it better?
Who has the sweeter Yoruba mouth? 😂
Be the judge
Husband or Wife? 👀👇🏾
Oyo state’s economy is just like a balance sheet. I know how to read it, manage it, and make it grow.
I am aware of where we have been, I understand where we are today, and I am confident I know what we need next.

This is exactly why they only targeted Yoruba and northern leaders during the coup. This explains everything; same mentality, different time. The five most useless elders in Nigeria, with four positions occupied by Yoruba and one by a northerner. These people’s brains are leaking
When the historians talked about old Oyo and how they moved from one settlement to another due to war or being ransacked, this is a modern-day example.
Owa-Onire: A Ghost Town and One Man Left Behind
*“Everyone ran. Lekan stayed. Now he’s the only name left to answer when the wind calls Owa-Onire.”*
When the security team of 100 men from the drone unit, MOPOL, and the Anti-Kidnapping Squad rolled into Owa-Onire today, they found nothing but silence. No markets, no voices, no children. Just empty compounds, a locked mosque, a quiet church, and one man standing in the middle of it all.
The operation is part of the Inspector General of Police’s push to screen the Kwara South forest belts. Ifelodun, Isin, Oke-Ero, Ekiti LGAs — troops are moving through all of them. But Owa-Onire stopped them cold. A town wiped clean.
The only person left is Lekan, a prince of the town. He calls himself “the landlord” now, and the title fits. The big mansion, the abandoned houses, the mosque, the church — all of it belongs to the crickets and to him.
He didn’t stay out of courage. He stayed because “Bororo’s War” took everyone else. It didn’t start with one attack. Bandits came and came again. Kidnappings became routine. Then they took the monarch himself and held him in the forest for months until a ransom was paid. After that, the people couldn’t take it anymore. They locked their doors and left. Some went to Okeonigbin. Most just disappeared into somewhere safer.
Owa-Onire isn’t alone. At least 28 communities in Ifelodun LGA are deserted. The same fate has swallowed Oro-Ago, Omugo, Ahun, Oke-Oyan, Owa-Kajola, Owa-Onire, and Oba in Isin LGA. Residents say over 23 villages have been overrun by suspected bandits. Ancestral homes stand empty. Farms rot. Towns become names on a map with no one to say them.
Lekan eats from his farm. That’s how he survives. There’s nowhere to buy food here, nowhere to buy anything. He’s alone with his land and the memory of a town that used to be alive.
The team leader handed him ₦10,000. Lekan took it quietly. He said he’d go to Okeonigbin to buy foodstuffs — the nearest place that still has a market.
He also told them people came into the community last night. He doesn’t know who they were or what they took. He just knows he heard them, and in the morning, nothing had changed. He was still alone.
Visibly disturbed by what they saw, the senior officers from Abuja and Lagos said no Nigerian community should be reduced to this. They described Owa-Onire’s abandonment as a failure that demands immediate action, and pledged to push for sustained security presence and concrete measures that will allow displaced residents to return home without fear.

With Oyo State school children and teachers still in captivity, Governor Seyi Makinde still gathered people and TV cameras yesterday to do POLITICS.
He was beaming with SMILE all through.
But his Social Media Urchins will still come here to defend him.
May God keep the children and their teachers safe and bring them back home safely.
How can you be promoting and showcasing Yoruba culture while Yorubas are being slaughtered , kidnapped and tortured on the same Yoruba land and still held captive currently as you all are somewhere assembled together showcasing Yoruba culture . YORUBA CULTURE FORBID THIS
@_Horphe@IdrisAOni1 These countries you mentioned enforced laws such as amputation for theft, flogging, and beheading for adultery or apostasy, along with male-favored divorce and inheritance. Is this what we should model, or are there better models out there?
Many people speak about “implementing Sharī‘ah” without properly understanding what Sharī‘ah actually comprises. For some, it is reduced only to punishments. In reality, punishments are a very small part of a very vast moral, spiritual, legal, social, and economic system.
A true Sharī‘ah is built first upon:
• Justice
• Accountability
• Protection of lives and properties
• Welfare of the poor and vulnerable
• Honest leadership
• Rule of law
• Moral discipline
• Knowledge and education
• Mercy and social responsibility
Before punishments ever come into discussion, Islam emphasizes:
• Elimination of corruption
• Fair distribution of wealth
• Security of lives
• Functional judiciary
• Protection from hunger and poverty
• Accessible education
• Ethical leadership
• Equal justice regardless of status
A society where leaders steal public funds while ordinary people suffer cannot honestly claim to have implemented Sharī‘ah simply because certain criminal laws exist on paper. ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb suspended the punishment for theft during famine because justice in Islam considers circumstances, welfare, and social responsibility.
If a genuine Sharī‘ah framework were sincerely applied in Northern Nigeria, many things would have to change fundamentally:
• Public corruption would be treated as a major crime against society.
• Leaders would be held accountable for negligence and abuse of power.
• Banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, and mob violence would be confronted decisively.
• Extrajudicial killings and lynching over accusations of blasphemy would not be tolerated because Islamic law requires due process and judicial authority.
• Public welfare systems would become stronger through Zakāh, charity, and responsible governance.
• Education would become a major priority for both males and females.
• Begging would be reduced through empowerment, welfare, and economic reforms.
• Religious preaching that promotes hatred, violence, or extremism would be checked responsibly.
• Non-Muslims under Muslim governance would have legally protected rights and security.
Unfortunately, many discussions about Sharī‘ah today focus almost entirely on symbolic punishments while neglecting the foundations that make justice possible. Sharī‘ah without justice, knowledge, mercy, security, and accountability becomes selective enforcement rather than a complete Islamic system.
A true Islamic society is not merely one where punishments exist. It is one where human dignity is protected, corruption is fought sincerely, justice is accessible to all, the weak are protected from the powerful, and leaders fear Allāh concerning the people under their authority.
Sharafadeen Alli would have been a great governor to succeed Adebayo Alao-Akala. At that time, the state was still crawling.
We began to leap under Abiola Ajimobi and truly started flying under Seyi Makinde.
We cannot afford to return to underdevelopment. 🙂↔️
