@ThunderForce@AKakanfo Not a Yoruba version of Nicaea, Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not centralised like Christianity, a Grand Council of Preservation bringing together Babaláwo, traditional rulers, scholars, linguists, and cultural custodians to document, preserve, and steward Yoruba knowledge for future generations.
@3mmoutimes@AKakanfo All empires are built on force, all empires will collapse. Force is what secures and maintains control: Ottomans, Mongol, Roman, British, Spanish, Oyo, Sokoto Caliphate etc. And at some point, the empire will overstretch.
Your argument applies to all empires, not just Turks.
I've found AI to be incredibly helpful. I primarily use it as a research and analysis tool because it can uncover connections and perspectives I might not have discovered on my own or through any single person's reasoning. That capability alone makes it worthwhile for me.
I just finished co-presenting a paper titled "Tentative Truths: Yorùbá Indigenous Knowledge of Animals in Epistemic Transition," with Dr. Nathaniel Omilani of the Department of Science and Technology Education, University of Ìbàdàn, at the ongoing Lagos Studies Association, 2026.
@DatTwenty@FischerKing64 As a Yoruba, I disagree. We may not have a single word for “maintenance”, but we have many(most post colonial states): tọ́jú, àtúnṣe, má jẹ́ kí ó bàjẹ́. We maintained homes and systems for generations. The issue isn’t language, it’s broken ownership and accountability today.
Get ready, ladies! 🎉

Is it possible to be spiritual(religious or not) and not be divine? dvine in the context that divinity is what gives unchallengeable legibility to religion.
This questions stems from the fact that every religion comes with its uncontestable authority.
"A man must takehimself for better forworse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till."
