This palace gate na pure nonsense.
You get Alaafin of Oyo, one of the oldest and most powerful African monarchies ever, then you climb am put Christian cross on top crown like say na cathedral. Wetin concern Oyo Empire with cross.
Before white man waka enter West Africa, Oyo dey conquer people. Alaafin dey install kings. Alaafin no answer to church, no answer to pope, no answer to Jesus ministry. Oyo cosmology no get cross anywhere. No shrine, no staff, no crown, no Ifa verse carry cross.
So how crown of Yoruba sovereignty take kneel under foreign religious symbol.
This na mental slavery on display.
As Omo Yoruba we dey shout tradition, tradition, but our highest symbol dey bow to European religion. Na like say we wear agbada but our brain still dey wear colonial uniform.
Christianity enter Yoruba land through missionaries under colonial protection. That same process wipe language, demonize Orisa, call ancestors pagan, scatter indigenous confidence. Now see result. Even palace gate no fit stand without borrowing foreign validation.
We no fit serve two masters. We no fit claim ancient African authority and still decorate am with church branding. Na identity confusion.
This no be spirituality. This na inferiority complex cast in gold.
If Oyo Empire truly get self respect, cross no suppose near Alaafin crown. Period.
If we no fit even defend symbol, forget defending culture.
Na this kind rubbish make Africa look like continent wey no trust itself.
Savage truth.
