@abimbolasuccess@MogajiLummy@TheYorubaTimes You are always everywhere he’s mentioned, loud and ignorant.
The empire’s heritage cannot be reduced to slave trade. it is a testament of our political sophistication and cultural depth as a race. It’s a legacy that predates and outlives the slave trade era. “Oba luko” 😂😂
@egtapere Shut up and try to read the book, cos obviously, you haven’t. Where in the book did he insinuate that ijesa or Ijebu were subjects? Y’all just like unnecessary trouble.
@Naija_CryptoLad What exactly do your kind stand to gain in all these nonsense yall keep doing?
Why are you triggered by a group speaking of their historical heritage? speak of yours too.
Talking about one’s greatness doesn’t undermine others, y’all will self destruct before you learn
@Naija_CryptoLad Where in the post did he say they are not on the same level with others? How are you being bullied? Are you even aware that kingship today doesn’t have any role beyond preserving history and culture?
The Throne of Alaafin Oyo premiered in Lagos yesterday at the J. Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History. It was a beautiful moment to see people gathered to learn about the most storied throne of Oranmiyan, which belongs to the Yoruba people.
We had Princess Folasade Adeyemi, the first daughter of the late Alaafin Adeyemi III, who also represented the Oba Adeyemi royal dynasty. Olori Olamiji Pearse from Oyotunji, the Yoruba kingdom in South Carolina, USA, was also present with the Crown Prince, Omololu. Prince Adebimpe Ladigbolu represented the Ladigbolu royal family, and Prince Adebayo Onisile represented one of the royal families from the old Oyo Empire.
As Prof Akin Alao proposed, the Yoruba need to build a rally point to define what exactly Yoruba culture is in Africa and how we want to protect it. I seconded him, saying it is time for the Yoruba to hold another Alabaja Conference to declare a unified Yoruba identity, with practical steps to protect our interests in Africa.
Ibadan is next to watch The Throne of Alaafin Oyo on Thursday, April 16 at the Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan. If you have ever wanted to understand what it means to have a Yoruba identity, this is the room to be in.

JNIM has released a video in Mooré and Fulani, in which the group brazenly claims to represent all ethnicities across the Sahel. In the video, the spokesperson blames Burkinabè President Traoré for the suffering of the people while presenting themselves as the supposed “saviors” who can rescue the nation. This is a clear attempt to manipulate public perception, shifting responsibility for the chaos onto the government while justifying their own violent actions. By portraying themselves as the solution, JNIM not only conceals their role in spreading fear and instability but also seeks to legitimize their agenda of overthrowing a democratically recognized leader.
It's understandable for the minority ethnic groups to flee their homes out of fear because they have limited numbers.
But how can you be Yoruba and not feel some shame when you see these updates of our people fleeing their homes?
This tweet is so funny to me cus just last night I had a meeting with my boss and when we hopped on, the inverter at the short-let I was in was down so I told him the power was out and he was like oh okay lets make this quick then and he tried to wrap up the meeting in 20 mins.
Anytime my internet fucks up in meetings, he’s always like let’s kill the video and see if things get better and if it doesn’t, he’s just like oh let’s meet another time then or he sends instructions over text.
It’s insane that’s a white man in a first world country is more empathetic to third world struggles than you who has lived it.
Lol. Christians don’t ground morality in the Bible as its ontological basis as you’re implying. Moral truths are grounded in God’s nature; the Bible reveals them.
Your caricature unsurprisingly is subjectivism.
Ground of morality ≠ source of moral knowledge.
For context, the only Reason Nigeria and Ghana is more developed with more exposure than countries like Chad, Niger, Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali , Cote d’voire is because the French is far more ruthless with colonialism than The British.
You are not special Africans than them.
That’s the direction we are heading towards and that’s why those guys are fighting for freedom.
