May Oduduwa continue to bless the Yoruba nation and their ever strong and ambitious entrepreneur spirit. Yorubaland is blessed! Full of talents. In politics, economy and education. Too bad we have less ambitious leaders. When it comes to business, na we get am. We're not talking petty trading or small shops, we're talking big businesses. 157 Likes 16 Shares |

[quote author=seunny4lif post=45169741] If they like, hate on Yorubas. Our sun has risen. The horizon is ours for the taking. If they like, ignore us. They will later want for our attention. If they like, bite us. They’ve bitten more than they can chew. If they like, mock us. In their heart, they can't deny they love our culture. Yoruba is beyond you and I. Yoruba identifies a unique set of people. It's an ideology. It's a religion. It's a language. It's a belief. It's unexplainable. Ask Europeans. Ask North Americans. Ask South Americans. They've adopted our language and culture. Ask Beyonce. Ask Drake. Once they've tasted Yoruba, they talked about it. They loved it. Oduduwa a gbe wa o. May Oduduwa continue to bless each and everyone of his children. Yorubaland: Land of the risen sun. 142 Likes 15 Shares |
