Yoruba is the source of all Nigeria. The day we decide to get angry! Everyone will shiver . When all our pikins fight, we just de look

Identify the people that pass exams and do well in your set. Start associating with them so you can learn from them. Put more effort into your study and all will be well.

Fasoranti family should have walked Tinubu out of the burial. The comments he made are staggering and the efforts he’s made against the interest of the Yoruba people.

Tinubu is a desperate man and I don’t like desperate people. After his foolish comments, censoring his media houses, forcing the governors to make foolish statements against their own people all for political gain. I have lost respect for this man.

Yoruba are indigenous to Nigeria.

Each state should have 4 senators and 4 assembly members.

Too much work. Guy needs seasonal employment

SyNnadi:
Same thing that is baffling everyone that knows them. This is d same wife they were proud of and all of a,sudden its the opposite in a twinkle of an eye.

Dose it mean they never liked her all along and were just pretending to love her?

Any update? Or do we now need to push this further?

People is wheel chair work and take care of themselves.

Go and read awolowo's memoirs. His dad was rich, died when he was ten, the brothers took over everything. One wanted to inherit his mum. That is the hard-core tradition

It’s not. They are just opportunists. Did she marry any of them? She probably had no will to resist their theft of the property. They ordinarily can’t take anything once a child is involved. Which is why they wanted to force her to marry them so that they can be in charge of the property and it doesn’t leave the family. If she refuses, then nothing they can do. But they obviously got spiteful and stole the property. This bad behavior depends on the family you marry into. It’s not tradition. A woman becomes a part of the family when she marries. It’s so bad that even her family are considered family and almost a taboo for other members of the family to marry from her family.

Yes, African traditions especially the ones in Nigeria are patriarchal even our traditional weddings are in the real sense "buying of wife" no matter how we try to whitewash the thing, it stinks to heavens.

In the traditional scene, the wife and her family are related to the background in almost every issue which is why many families till date are more elated at the birth of a male child than a female one.

I know there is more to this Vera's story but my contribution to it with the story so far is that the husband's family should not take the child away from the mother. If they want to take the child, they should take the mum, she is their daughter now! Their son "bought" her.

Shut up please. You are talking nonsense.

ornicus:
African traditions my arse. Most respected African traditions treat women as chattel. HardCore Yoruba tradition, the deceased brothers share the deceased property right down to the wife. Hardcore Igbo tradition you shave the head of the widow and make her drink the water used to wash the corpse.

In matters of money, people's true colours show. I have also seen deaths of Co workers where the extended family took over the whole show and made it all about money.

You think all families are lovey dovey with their sons wives?

Not true about Yoruba tradition. The woman has a choice and once there is a child involved you can’t take over any property. The only time you take over your late brothers child is if the mother requests it or she’s also not alive. All children are entitled to their father’s property whether male or female. I have never heard where the woman is forced to marry one of the brothers. Yoruba culture is not that forceful.

Please take this off social media abeg. What if they harm your child

They will die in prison

The commissioner of police for Lagos State should sack all police officers involved in this case and LASG must get involved to get all rapists prosecuted ASAP.

I knew this must be because of money. How terribly disgusting, his own blood. So it is his sister that killed him? They are not even worried about police case but money. I think we also need to involve police here on a murder case. Please also tag Obaseki and commissioner for women affairs on twitter. Benin police too if possible. Send the whole story to instablog. Especially now that they have threatened you and your family.

Make sure you fight for your child in the most nasty way! Write a disclaimer on anyone giving them money on your daughters behalf and cry out that you need the help of police to investigate the case. Trust me they will drop your daughter at midnight and runaway.

I wish you were in Lagos. It also seems like you and husband lived in Lagos prior to the accident correct? So you are resident in Lagos but your child was kidnapped in Benin?

Nduka looks sick

Mental illness

Ok. Do we really need egg powder? What are we manufacturing in this country that uses egg powder or do we intend to export this? I personally prefer my egg fresh from the shell. The marijuana project is a better idea than this.

I think this Oba is bored! He just talks rubbish to be in the news. He need to find handwork to do. Maybe mechanic work since the Oba work is too boring.

You people are all mad in that presidency.

Take that girl for test first. Then talk to your son and tell him about touching people inappropriately and when they touch him too. Teach him how to react to these advances.

Hmmm. This sounds like anticipated wealth. The asset declaration should be investigated.

The same Kanu that called for arms to kill Yoruba? We are now noble? Lmao. Where is he even hiding from and writing letters?

The girl dances like she’s possessed

These Orile also sound like royal family sigils. Correct? This is quite an interesting thread and I enjoyed it. Yoruba truly have a unique culture. All European and Asian royal families also have a sigil

This is interesting. My family is obsessed with naming in a particular pattern and I see an Orile that matches one of my ancestors. For instance if we want to name a child, we must name them Erin-folami or use the orile as a pretext. This makes sense now. I don’t know my orile but I know my ancestral family. The women in my family are named with the Orile of the maternal arm from my father’s ancestors. While the men are named with another pretext which I now suspect is an Orile. But that one is not mentioned here.

I must ask the elderly people in my family next time.

Very true.,, all of us have a date with destiny
