Yoruba Race: You are being manipulated if you do these 11

One thing about manipulation is that the person being manipulated will think everything is Ok and that he or she is doing the right thing. Here are 11 signs to know whether you are being manipulated as a Yoruba human.

#1. You revoke your Yoruba name because it has one of the Orishas in it: Whether it’s your pastor that convinced you by giving you some spiritual excuses or its because you want to travel out of Nigeria, one way or the other you are been manipulated.

#2. You see Yoruba religion as idolatry: all the world religion is idolatry, including all the Abrahamic religion: Christianity, Islam, name it. For a religion to be idolatry, there must be items of worship or of reference to deity like pictures or statutes e.g. the cross, Kaaba of the Bedouin tribes; religion rituals such as the killing of rams, Holy communion; and then Human-God reference or representative and or messenger.

#3. You totally believe the slave trade narration as better explanation for the appearance of the Yoruba race all over the world: This is a lie that we are been told again and again. Yoruba are believed to be part of the pre-Columbia American.

#4. You derogatory call the Yoruba language “vernacular” and shun children and young adult from speaking it: The word "vernacular" in itself is not a negative word as it is simply can mean "indigenous language of a people". If a people are prevented from speaking their language, then who will?

#5. You do not have many Yoruba traditional wears: If you think that putting on of Yoruba cloth will make you look less "corporate", and you don't really care about acquiring Yoruba traditional outfit, you may need to have a rethink about your heritage and start taking deliberate effort about this.

#6. You prefer foreign music to Yoruba: non Yoruba music are all good, in fact you can get spiritual and entertained through music, but manipulation set in when you start making illogical preference to non-Yoruba music and think music about Yoruba Orisha, culture and tradition are bad.

#7. You cannot recite some of the Yoruba poems and rhymes: Poems and rhymes are part of your cultural identity. The poems were created to teach morals and inculcate the Omoluabi character. If you defaulted here, then now is the time not to only start learning but to also teach your children. Teachers in schools should also encourage teaching and memorising of these. Have you seen the beauty of: Toju Iwa, Ise loogun ise, Kini n o fole se laye ti mo wa...

#8. You do not have a Yoruba name or you hate being called by your Yoruba name.

#9. You name your children many non-Yoruba name and prefer to call them by their non-Yoruba names: This is also a sign of been manipulated.

#10. Your children cannot speak Yoruba: They speak other language fluently but you frowning at them whenever they speak Yoruba is inferiority complex and a sign of been manipulated. This is not even in the Yoruba gene. 'A complete child' should be taught to speak not only foreign language fluently but also Yoruba.

#11. You think that explaining of concepts with Yoruba in schools is bad: how better will a student understand than when tough concepts are explained using the student's native language.

Kinematics:
Says an ipig miscreant.

PROUDIGBO:
Bros, i’ll tell you exactly what’s happening: it’s all about pride, and the belief they are better than...and don’t need Igbos! You don’t see how they’re always quick to draw a line between them and Igbos, even as some of them answer Igbo names and speak Igbo!?

This Nigeria is giving a lot of fools a false sense of importance and security! I’d rather Igbos continue patronising Lagos ports en-masse until such a time when either we get one at Obuaku, etc, or the one planned for Akwa Ibom is completed!

Igboid:
But there is a factor people are not considering regarding the offshore fields.

NIGERIA only have claim to these fields because of our landmass that the North contribute the bulk of. As you level of claim to intercontinental waters I learnt is determined by your landmass.
If there is disintegration of NIGERIA, Akwaibom might not have enough landmass to claim those oil Wells from other smaller countries in the region like Cameroon, Gabon, Equitorial Guinea, etc.

What do you think about this?

Hightser:
You don't know that Enugu airport serves Ebonyi, Abia and Anambra, can you compare the population to pH that serves only pH alone or sometimes Bayelsa?

Amalekki:
Real kidding. Abacha undressed Obasanjo, nothing happened. Nigerians and empty boasts

OhBritannia:
One of the most powerful women in Nigeria that is above the law.

There are people in this world that you can't arrest, even in the UK and America.

I always tell people no matter what they say trump did in the election attack on the capital hill, trump can't be arrested.

In Nigeria, people like Bianca, Obasanjo, good luck Jonathan etc they are above the law.

If you touch bianca ojukwu, then there will be a civil war.
If you touch good luck Jonathan then Nigeria Will burn to the ground.
If you touch Obasanjo then there will be war.

They say nobody is above the law, don't be deceived, there are those above the law even in America and the UK.

Ade1177:
I said it

Fred is a good player, he's just not a strong defensive midfielder watch his match today and also in Brazil

Van de beek is good but I'll still pick Fred, Manchester united need a strong defensive midfielder and Bruno back to his best to supply passes forward
Rashford, Ronaldo, cavani should net 2 out of 5 chances

If he doesn't play Fred, who should he play. Snail Matic or worn out mata?

He can only select from the players available

Aufbauh:
They both came second in their respective group stage so they'll have to go for playoff.
All their group leaders qualified automatically whereas Nigeria & others that topped their respevtive group will still go for playoff.

DOTian:
I have always known you are fake..
There're several of your type here.
You start off pretending you are against the marginalization going on in the East. Once you get the needed attention, you will start speaking in tongues..
If you're not pretending you hate the violence, you will be using the argument against ipob tactics as an excuse to enjoin others to be calm and accept the torture called Nigeria...
Lol
You guys came late..
But Kwantiniu...

TheOldGods:
you have time to be arguing with a woman, who bends down to pee. These people are beneath us. Just read her comment, smile, because it is irrelevant, they are not the one paying the bride price or heading the family. Only reply your fellow men, the only thing they know is to insult and good in the other room.

afube:
There is a lot of sophistry in the article, going through it you would think the British are uninterested and unbiased arbiters to the conflicts in Nigeria but that that will be a mistake, the British are in fact partial to Fulani interests and are very deep in the mess that is Nigeria. God pass them till eternity..Biafra will be free to their consternation!

greymiles:
The zoo must bow Buhari go collect

Kobojunkie:
So, it hasn't occurred to you that the reason this man still lives is because the Most High allows it?

IamNumeroUno:
Shut the f.uck up aboki!!!

Same subsidy GEJ wanted to remove, as advised by the now WTO DG and you lots occupied the streets in 2012?

Bunch of illiterates who can't see farther than their noses.
Keep dreaming of becoming Nigerian President, after all, dreams don't cost a penny!

Righteousness2:
What a Brutal Death.
No show of Comrades or friendship.
Indeed the Enemies of a man are those of his House Hold.

In this Journey of Life, The only one to be Trusted is GOD ALMIGHTY!

Family and Friends can set you up,
Your Best Friend can take you out,

Only JESUS never Fails.

Crofton is a brand name. Do you work in aldi? Feel free not to answer if it's too personal.

melaniaup:
This is a very bad scene to watch, we need to put an end to all this come 2023. For a better technical support in every aspect needed

Vote for Uzor Orji Kalu to make U Ok

And many aspects Ok

descarado:
These are the people I share cyber space with.
You all deserve buhari and fulani herdsmen.

Spits.

Hunger, poverty has made all if them inhumane.

And it will get worst.

Newboss:
72 years, on top of 1958? See maths

BKayy:
In simple terms, Igboland has more population than the other two regions put together

vicfajeze:
no matter what happens to our north,we miles ahead of you people.Please live our north for us.Are we complaining?No,we are not.Better look for a way out for Kanu and co to be set free instead of poking your noses into what concerns you not!!!!!!!!!

theTranscriber:
You are the one running your mouth without thinking
what exactly is wrong with you guys? What rubbish is this? Are you normal?
Nairalanders please is this guy normal?

GerogeI:
Yes it does,
An agreement will be made on its usage probably after a conflict has ensued. And that agreement will usually be in form of mutual none interference, and none stoppage of the transporter in exchange for no customs control. You have to recognize that both sides have action weapons in their arsenal of options. So the agreement is simply none interference.

greenguy:
Buhari has finished Nigeria completely. Gas today is 6k what use to be 3k and prices of food has become golden in the markets.

Definitely, soon, the wicked shall perish before our eyes, and we shall testify the the greatness of Almighty God; He alone is the defender of the defenseless.
