As a Yoruba born, this video you are about to watch will make you appreciate your tribe, language, and culture.
It is not just a song to them. That is why they are singing it in tears . It reminds them of what their ancestors suffered in the hands of the slave masters to keep this culture alive.
The fact that they even learned YORUBA to honour their ancestors moved me to tears. 😭.
On behalf of all the Yoruba across the world, i say God bless you, and we are so proud of you. 👏 👏 👏.
We got separated by the flesh but not by spirit and soul.
The U.S have accepted the rise of the Multipolar World. They have prepared confront China on all fronts, in every country, including mostly in Africa.
It is a competition between the Quantum Computing dominated by the U.S and China will dominates the AI industry. Everything boils down to the rate earth minerals on the ground to power the computing power for the CBDC.
If you read the circular from Brussels recently on the changes to SWIFT, you will understand.
Why the U.S in interested in Nigeria? ofcourse Nigeria, with massive rare earth minerals and comsumer power is not an exception.
Àṣẹ and Àmín: The Power We Speak, and the Power We Surrender
“Àṣẹ and Àmín are not twins. One creates, the other concedes. One speaks from within, the other responds from without.”
🔶 #Etymological Foundations
We begin from the root, for anything with no root is already food for the wind.
🔹 ÀṢẸ́
From the verb ṣe – “to do,” “to make,” “to cause.”
The noun prefix à- forms from verbs, making àṣé mean:
“That which causes something to happen.”
But àṣẹ is more than a definition.
It is a current, a #spiritual voltage.
In #Yoruba #cosmology, Ọlọ́run created the world through ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó ní àṣẹ — not by hoping, but by speaking with force.
“Ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run kì ń lọ lọ́fò.”
The word of the Creator does not go into òfò—spiritual void or loss.
To speak àṣẹ is not to request; it is to activate.
It is why an elder ends prayers with àṣẹ, because they are not begging—they are sealing what has already been declared.
#YorubaTradition does not plead with Heaven. It commands from within, in harmony with cosmic law.
🔹 ÀMÍN
Àmín is not born of Yoruba tongue.
It came from Arabic āmīn, from Hebrew āmēn.
All of them mean:
“May it be so,” “Let it happen,” or “Truly.”
This is not àṣẹ—it is a verbal bow.
It expresses belief, not authority.
It responds to speech; it does not generate it.
It is spiritual agreement, not activation.
To say àmín is to show #faith, but not power.
It is the word of one who follows, not one who directs.
In logic terms—àmín is like saying “I agree,” but if what you are agreeing to does not exist in your spiritual logic tree, the result is nothing.
Like a programmer calling a function that was never declared—
It will return an error.
Àmín without the rightful code underneath is like saying “run blessings()” when there’s no such function in the script.
The output is void. Not because the function isn’t real, but because you did not define it in your tongue, your covenant, your system.
In Yoruba spiritual syntax, only àṣẹ completes the loop.
So let us be clear:
Àṣẹ is ancestral power.
Àmín is borrowed belief.
They do not do the same work.
They are not interchangeable.
To replace one with the other is to trade a staff for a cane.
🔶 How We Use Them: Practice vs Purpose
In #Isese, àṣẹ is not ornamental—it is a tool of consequence.
When a #Babalawo chants an òfún méjì, the divination verse is closed with àṣẹ, not àmín.
When an #elder gives òfọ̀, an incantation, they don’t say àmín—they say:
“Àṣẹ yíó ṣé!” — So shall it be, by force of àṣẹ!
Even in ẹ̀bẹ̀, #prayerful plea, the conclusion is àṣẹ, because Yoruba sees words as creative instruments, not mere wishes.
But what do we see now?
In many homes, even in traditional greetings and well-wishing, àmín is now reflexively used—even by those invoking #Orisa.
This is not cultural fusion.
This is linguistic colonization.
To end a Yoruba #prayer with àmín is to put a foreign key in an ancestral door.
It will not turn.
🔶 Cultural Consequences: What We've Lost
The shift from àṣẹ to àmín is not small.
It reflects a loss of self-agency, spiritual authorship, and #cultural grounding.
Where we once spoke with conviction, we now whisper with hope.
Where we once declared, we now beg.
We have forgotten the difference between being a mouthpiece of the #Cosmos and being a spectator in foreign faiths.
Even in how we raise children:
A grandparent blesses a child: “Ọmọ yóò dára.”
The child replies, “Àmín.”
But the correct response should be:
“Àṣẹ, bàbá mi!” / “Àṣẹ, ìyá mi!”
Because one affirms with power, the other affirms with passivity

“The British Governement charged a 51 year old man with the heinous crime of standing 50m from an abortion clinic & silently praying”
“The Scottish Government issued notified to citizens that even private praying in their own homes may be breaking the law”
