As expected, a lot of ignorant folks are already insulting the royal father, the custodian of the House of Oduduwa, the paramount traditional and cultural authority of ALL Yoruba people. You should know that culture is evolving; it is never stagnant. The days of traditional rulers sitting in their palaces and waiting for inter-village and inter-tribal wars to happen are all gone. For instance, how many indigenes of highly-revered Yoruba towns know the holder of Balogun title in their towns in today’s Nigeria? Very, very few! Meanwhile, in those ancient days, the Balogun, “the warlord”, was a feared titan. He was treated with awe, like the king. The days of traditional rulers forcefully marrying maidens and married women who caught their fancy, under the guise of “Oba gbese le o” (the king has acquired you!) is gone for good! Which king does that (forcefully marry any lady, married or unmarried) today? The Queen of England and the monarchies of Netherlands, etc can never do whatever they did in 1670s today... These, and other examples, show that culture is always evolving... There isn’t anything wrong with Oba Enitan Ogunwusi’s action; the report clearly stated that it was done to encourage use of our local fabrics. In conclusion, I noticed that often times on Nairaland, Nigerians insult traditional rulers and traditions and cultures of other people other than their own. When Emir Sanusi appeared in that heavy regalia, dunderheads insulted him to no end. When former Sports Minister Dalong appeared in his native Plateau attire, ignorant persons on Nairaland crudely insulted him. The way of dressing, greeting, and comportment of people differ and we should respect them. Intolerance of other people’s cultures and choices is rampant among the “Indomie (below 40) generation”! Live and let live! Travel to other parts of the country, mix, make friends; join AIESEC, JCI, Lions Club, Rotary, Rotaract, etc. Don’t sit in your cocoon and act as “village champions”. You had elementary education at Unilag Staff School, secondary education at ISL, and university education at Unilag; and you live in Akoka, Yaba, how would you explore other cultures? Lol. Explore the world. For instance, a lot of us in the South ignorantly believe that every person in the North is Hausa; I laugh. Plateau State alone, the home of the Tarok, Birom, Angas, etc have more than 30 tribes! Borno State has more than 50, including Kanuri, Shuwa, etc. Kaduna State has Hausa, Fulani, Kaje, Kutep, the stretch of Southern Kaduna, etc. When the uninformed see Balarabe Adamu, they assume that the bearer of the name is a Muslim and Hausa; whereas the guy is a Christian from Taraba, Gombe, Adamawa, etc. An acquaintance, a Christian, met a certain Rekiyah Bello and started insulting Christians, with a view to currying her favour for friendship, only to be told off by the lady that she was a Christian! The embarrassment was unending... 5 Likes |
