We need to first uphold the fact that Nigeria is a secular state…
Not Christian
Not Islamic
Take your bloody religious intolerance elsewhere.
Because are we all mad!!!
There has been a female Ooni of Ife before. There has also been a female Alaafin of Oyo. In parts of Okunland, women not only had the freedom to marry whom they wished, but could also marry other women and establish households and families of their own.
Meanwhile, women still cannot lead men in congregational prayers in mainstream Islam. Please, we are not mates.
The only woman who supposedly ruled a major Islamic empire died within 3 months, and every major leader and Islamic scholar after that tried to erase her completely. There was a queen Amina because Islamic revolution wasn't there yet. No Muslim society is letting a woman lead.
Kings could seize the property of men, and that included their wives. That isn't a sign of women repressiveness rather the scope of a Kings authority.
Again, when it comes to women's freedom and social authority, we are not mates. Yoruba society had progressive elements long before anyone coined modern labels for such ideas.
We had Female deities, cults, groups, leadership and anything. They could own and enjoy almost every and any available privilege and rights men.
Again, when you can stand in front of men and lead in a mosque before we can talk
@Letter_to_Jack I keep saying it that if only previous governments had given this much attention to infrastructure the way DA did, we won't be here but we thank God.
Progress report on the failed sections of the Adatan--Car wash road:
Reconstruction and rehabilitation works begun fully today. The work will restore the Car Wash-- Moore Junction corridor to durable standards.
To be completed in a matter of days.
God bless Ogun State
Common sense would say that in a multicultural and multi-religious society, you need a SINGULAR cosmopolitan system to adjudicate ALL.
We vehemently resist Sharia law or any religious law in Yoruba land.
The federal, state and local laws are SUFFICIENT.
Your people renamed the Government House after Ahmadu Bello and erected a giant horse monument in Ọ̀yọ́ Ilé. We understand the symbolism. We understand the message. Nothing you say changes anything. The Ilorin you have is all you are getting. The rest of Yorùbáland is not up for negotiation.
Leader of all Muslim sultanate is quiet about Islamic terrorists demanding Sharia law in Nigeria.
But as a Yoruba Muslim you see Sultan of Sokoto Usman Dan fodio descendant that almost wiped out your ancestors as your Islamic leader?
Eti sho fo danu 💯
Abimbolu means the one that was birth to meet Orisa - Olu means Orisa in Yoruba cosmology. You were actually born Yoruba by genetics, No Human is born without racial gene, there is no religious genetics relations. Unlike you, the Arabs will always be Arab First, if you want to doubt this, use the muslim card and demand citizenship from UAE or just Visa to UAE. Religion must be separated from racial identity. Until you learn to do this, you will continue to be a pawn in the game and be used against your race. The ball is in your court.
I am Yoruba First! I was born Yoruba First and will breathe my last breath Yoruba First. Everything else is secondary.
You're a foolish clown.
For 25 years now and still counting, they have adopted Shari'a law in Zamfara, Borno, Yobe, Katsina, Niger, Kaduna, Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, Kebbi, Bauchi, and Gombe States.
