It's actually exhausting that Yorubas have to correct a lot of misinformation about what they own,from food(egusi etc slangs( oga,olodo,japa,pele) etc)name( Tokunbo) dresses(gele,aso olona etc)
YORUBAS are not the colonizers of Nigeria.
LEAVE US ALONE!!!
@Wizarab10 Lol, a Yoruba person will never write this lailai, but yes since it fits Social Media propaganda,let's all pretend a Yoruba person did.
Continue sogbo.
In fairness, Mr President’s decision to establish State Police is highly commendable. We hope Nigerian governors will use it responsibly. National security requires a collaborative approach involving every government tier and stakeholder.
That’s Adepoju Aderonmu, a Nigerian medical student who made history on American TV in the 1950s.
He was from Oyo, Nigeria.
At the time of this photo he was studying medicine in the US.
He’s Yoruba, and like many Nigerians of that era, he came abroad for higher education.
He became the first Black person to win the $64,000 top prize on CBS-TV’s hit quiz show.
The $64,000 Question. This was in the mid-1950s, when US TV was still racially segregated and Black winners on national game shows were extremely rare.
His winning category was the Bible.
This newspaper clipping says he answered a six-part Biblical question.
He’s pictured here holding a painting of part of the question that won him the prize.
$64,000 in 1956 was massive money, that’s about $750,000 today.
For a Nigerian student to win it on live US TV was a huge deal back home and abroad.
It showed the world the depth of Nigerian intellect at a time when Africa was still under colonial rule.
He’s one of those early Nigerian trailblazers who put the country on the global map before “Nollywood” or “Afrobeats” existed.
Among your friends, observe whether your ethnicity is constantly the target of their so-called “tribal” jokes. If it is, then what you may be experiencing is microaggression disguised as humor.
@kceyulele49@ayrastarr It's not anyone's business if your mother or grandma called it Ichafu. Yoruba women have been wearing GELE since ages. You're free to call yours whatever the only stupid act is telling a Yoruba woman what to call hers. Ayra is Yoruba and that is a GELE she's wearing.
Shining Bright, Proudly In Our Skin.
Today, June 13th, the world pauses to celebrate International Albinism Awareness Day.
It is a day of reflection, advocacy, and a beautiful reminder that diversity is not just something to tolerate, it is our ultimate strength.

Myth vs. Fact: Understanding Albinism
There’s a common myth that people with albinism have no pigmentation whatsoever.
In reality, melanin levels vary, so some individuals may have very light skin, hair, and eyes, while others have subtle pigmentation.
