He had a coat of many colors 🌈 🙄
Maybe that was why his brothers wanted to beat him
He was in the prison filled with men and everyone LOVED him🙂
Joseph’s settings day one kind o
There is cultural pride, and then there is Yoruba cultural pride.
It’s not a competition; it’s simply the joy of inheriting one of the world’s most beautiful culture and language from our ancestors.
Every Yoruba person is born into a cultural richness that naturally sets us apart.
The Arab slavery of black Africans was the worst genocide that ever happened to Africa. They took not only North Africa, they took resources and sold over 100 million blacks.
The biggest slave rebellion was carried out by enslaved black Muslims against Arabs in Zanj, modern day Iraq.
It is theocratic colonialism and manipulation for Arabs to act like victims while they loot and destroy Africa for over 1300 years.
People who enslaved you for over 1000 years, will not treat you well in 2026.
@AjokeOlaoribiro We mystify and over exaggerate our ancestors too much, we limit their intellectual prowess to only magic.....that gives chances to people especially of Abrahamic beliefs to demonize them
@kolaayanwuyi Awon ni won te aro ika ni’fa
Awon ni won te odofin ika ni’fa
Awon ni won te onikamogun…
Thanks for the explanation, I’ll research further on this topic.
Àró and Ọ̀dọ̀fin are both Ìdó titles. Ọ̀dọ̀fin simply means the Head of the younger princes. And Àró is the chief adviser of Ìdó Ifẹ̀, both were the major titles for the Royal family among the Ministers of the kingdom. At Ìdó, when Ọ̀dọ̀fin is Installed, there must be Àró around otherwise Àró must be installed at once.
They have their consulting chamber at Òǹpetu palace. Other kingdoms adopted this system via Òjé and Gbágúrá kingdoms.
According to the United Nations, about 70% of Africans are under the age of 30. There has never been a more urgent time to document Yorùbá culture than now.
Our future is eroding before our eyes. We have no future without data. The future is Black, but what do we have to offer the world if we lose our culture?
Development without cultural and environmental preservation is destruction.
This is why I continue to ask us not to view Isese and Orisha only from the lens of mythology and Mysticism only....it will limit our intellectual capacity in answering questions thrown to us by theocratic nuisance who asks questions from a bias and colonized mindset.
Igbo people from Southeastern part of Nigeria left their ancestral land to established Meth lab in Southwest forest in Ogun state.
10 people were arrested, none was an Ogun state indigene.
3 Mexicans.
7 Igbos from Southeast Nigeria.
There is an act of terrorism being casually perpetrated against us through the production of fake drugs & fake products, & those who should confront the scourge appear to be more concerned about not offending an ethnic group than in protecting us from being harmed.
How are we not treating this as a n act of terror when it is exactly what terrorists organizations do?
Now, multiple attempts to establish meth production factories in Abeokuta & Ibadan were uncovered & there is no sense of outrage.
Why are so many SW political leaders so spineless, in the name of being accomodating?
Ile-Ife is very close to being nominated to the world academic community as the first city of the human race. Yoruba scholars should get to work. Researchers of genomics and archeologists have pieces of useful information. Your duty is to join those pieces and extrapolate.
