Ilekeh and Aare,
I feel we should :

1.discuss topics cant find in discussion any where else. 2.monopolise ideas and insights.
3.bring traffic in here.


On mode/language of.expression,
I agree, we must keep it English.
Yoruba learners can do so in Culture Section

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by ilekemd: 5:39am On Nov 04, 2015
I want to know how Yorubas get to be so spread out


The Yoruba of South Western Africa (Benin Republic, Nigeria and Togo, also including parts of Ghana, Cameroon and Sierra Leone) are responsible for one of the oldest and finest artistic traditions in Africa, a tradition that remains vital and influential today.[1]

Much of the art of the Yoruba, including staffs, court dress, and beadwork for crowns, is associated with the royal courts. The courts also commissioned numerous architectural objects such as veranda posts, gates, and doors that are embellished with carvings. Other Yoruba art is related shrines and masking traditions. The Yoruba worship a large pantheon of deities, and shrines dedicated to these gods are adorned with carvings and house and array of altar figures and other ritual paraphernalia. Masking traditions vary regionally, and a wide range of mask types are employed in various festivals and celebrations

The importance of the head in Yoruba sculpture[edit]

The Yoruba people regard the human head (ori) as the most important part of a person. Likewise, the head is the most prominent part of Yoruba sculpture. An analysis of Yoruba ontology reveals that the Yoruba regard the head as the locus of the ase of Olodumare. Therefore, the head constitutes a person's life-source and controlling personality and destiny. Babatunde Lawal identifies three different modes of representing the head in Yoruba sculpture: "the naturalistic, which refers to the external, or physical head (ori ode); the stylized, which hints at the inner, or spiritual, head (ori inu); and the abstract, which symbolizes the primeval material (oke ipori) of which the inner head was made."

1. Eni bata 'n ta lese!
We have issues in Yorubaland that threaten first, to wipe out all the credits and advantages we earned through the years of pain and bloodshed, and then second, disposess us of pride, strength and voice, and lastly, subdue us through political mischiefs.

The shadow is already on the wall.

So, quickly we need top five issues that's hurting our feet for discussion on how we get relief....TOP FIVE!


On language, I concur...one hour of chat done in Yoruba is quite good.

Seriously, Nigerians are local.

The best way to test their locality is by telling them that I'm Atheist.
