I have three questions:
1. Islam has been present in Yorùbáland for roughly 600 years. Why are we only now having conversations about implementing Sharia law? Does that mean our Muslim ancestors were somehow deficient in their practice of Islam?
2. What aspect of Sharia are you currently unable to observe in Yorùbáland that requires it to be incorporated into the laws of the land? Why are voluntary and independent Sharia panels no longer sufficient?
3. You argue that various countries and northern states have failed to implement Sharia properly, which is why it has infringed upon the rights of unwilling participants. What makes you think Yorùbás would somehow be immune to this same “misapplication” once Sharia is codified into law?

I know trauma and nuance is lost on the incels, but oftentimes victims of abuse seek out the abusers to try to regain control. They want to rewrite what happened. Maybe if they see them again on their own terms, they can regain some power.
I am first and foremost a Muslim. I am an adherent of Islam, an Abrahamic believer, and a Hanif before anything else. Only then am I Yorùbá.
To those who have made it their mission to question the loyalty of Yorùbá Muslims, you may continue your attacks. But know this: for a true Muslim, Islam will always come first. It precedes ethnicity, culture, and nationality because it is the primordial covenant with our Creator.
A Yorùbá Muslim is not conflicted in his identity. He was a Muslim in the divine decree long before he was conceived, and he entered the world as Yorùbá the day he was born to Yorùbá parents. These two identities are not rivals—they are perfectly compatible. One defines his eternal soul and purpose; the other shapes his language, culture, and earthly heritage. Both have their rightful place.
If any Yorùbá Muslim chooses, for whatever reason, to place ethnicity above Islam, then that person has failed to grasp the most fundamental principle of our faith: La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah), and nothing has precedence over Him. Such a person's reckoning is with Allah alone.
My identity is clear and unapologetic: Islam first. Always. Everything else follows in its proper order.
This deserves far more attention!!!
Telegram, the app many of us use for its no ads, large groups, and unrestricted file sharing features, has quietly become a criminal marketplace in Nigeria, enabling buying and selling of women in different forms.
@DubawaFacts has done an excellent investigation, uncovering how Telegram is enabling prostitution networks in Lagos and several other states, recruiting, trafficking, and exploiting these women.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on how China operates vs the US:
“In the West, we actually care when humans die.”
“China or Russia—Russia’s lost 700,000 people in Ukraine. They don’t care.”
“We don’t care if we lose a piece of steel, we do if we lose a human.”
