If you can’t match their level of excellence, accuse them of “tribalism” and “Yoruba tax”.
Present yourself as a victim. Rinse and repeat. 🔁
This is a characteristic of the textbook Olófo tón bínú ológo.
I don't know why some Yoruba people are avoiding being labeled a bigot.
I am a bigot. Yes! What are you going to do about it?
Tribalism and bigotry are not crimes. Nobody will arrest you because you're a bigot, so I don't know why exactly you're letting these shameless savages gaslight you with labels.
Once you start defending yourself, trying to explain that you're not a bigot, you have opened yourself up for more attacks. Own the label and call their bluff. They can't do jack shit about it!
Exactly what I tweeted the last time during the ‘illbliss’ issue, the ‘analysts’ only come out selectively to talk about ‘bigotry’, they keep quiet when u are being attacked and pretend not to see things, they will rush out to quickly condemn and analyze when the favour is returned. It’s a direct bullying tactic for people that decide to fall for it.
How many of your “influencers” have u seen condemn posts like this ??? Oya flip it the other way round and you will see the ‘moralists’ and abosi merchants jump out from their caves.
To all Yoruba silent observers who stay behind the keyboard and watch all manner of rhetoric’s flying around about us.
Rhetorics like lazy, dirty, ugly, too beautiful to be Yoruba, coward, betrayals, slaves, razz, loud-mouthed, and many more.
I was once a silent observer and let all the rhetorics fly and do nothing.
I STOPPED. Not anymore, not in my watch.
These rhetorics have been internalized far too long by some young Yoruba as evident in the Yoruba-buts.
My children will come and ready about Yoruba here and whatever they read will shape their opinion.
I will use my pen to rewrite history on here.
