Playwright, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has taken a swipe at the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, for his role in stopping an Osun priestess, Yeye Ajesikemi Omolara, from holding an Isese festival in the state. The festival is to celebrate Ifa spirituality and practice.

Soyinka, who is the Akintalun of Egba and Giiwa of Ijebu-Remo, noted that such conduct turned, before our very eyes, a once ecumenical city like Kaduna into a blood-stained mockery of cohabitation.

He added that such conduct made it possible for a young College of Education student in Sokoto, Deborah Samuel, to be lynched in the presence of armed police on mere allegation of having belittled the image of a revered prophet.

The Nobel Laureate in a statement on Thursday titled, “Isese festival: An open letter to Sulu Gambari,’’ noted that “The greatest avatars that the world has known were not without human frailties, flaws, and errors of understanding. You are not omniscient. And you are not omnipotent.’’


Some Islamic clerics who were members of a Muslim group known as Majlisu Shabab-l-Ulamah Society earlier visited the priestess at her residence to tell her that the Emir of Ilorin sent them to warn her to desist from holding the three-day festival scheduled for between July 22 and July 24, 2023 in Ilorin. The priestess thereafter cancelled the festival through an online video, disclosing that her life was in danger having received several death threats.

The Akogun of Isara in the statement said, “Your Royal Highness, so soon after the Moslem season of spiritual purification, it is sad to see the ancient city of Ilorin, a confluence of faiths and ethnic varieties, reduced to this level of bigotry and intolerance, manifested in the role of a presiding monarch. The truncation of a people’s traditional festival is a crime against the cultural heritage of all humanity. Year after year, Ramadan has been celebrated in this nation as an inclusive gathering of humanity, irrespective of divergences of belief. Not once, in my entire span of existence, have I encountered pronouncements by followers of any faith that the slaughtering of rams on the streets and market places is an offence to their concept of godhead. Vegetarians hold their peace. Buddhists walk a different path. Prior to Ramadan, non-Moslems routinely join in observing the preceding season of fasting as a spiritual exercise worthy of emulation.’’

The elder statesman further said that it might interest the emir to know that, in Abu Dhabi, numerous programmes were pursued, at government expense, for the evolution of a humanised community based on religious tolerance and mutual respect.


He stated, “Your Royal Highness, it is conduct like this that has bred Boko Haram, ISIS, ISWAP and other religious malformations that currently plague this nation, spreading grief and outrage across a once peaceful landscape, degrading my and your existence with their virulent brand of Islam. It is conduct like this that has turned, before our very eyes, a once ecumenical city like Kaduna into a blood-stained mockery of cohabitation. It is conduct like this that makes it possible for a young student, Deborah, to be lynched in the very presence of armed police, on mere allegation of having belittled the image of a revered prophet.’’

According to the essayist, this continent has endured centuries of disdain and despoilation at the hands of alien religions – Christianity and Islam at the forefront.

He added, “Your conduct is an affront to my sense of racial being, and that holds true for millions beyond these national and continental borders, stretching into the Americas and the Caribbean. There you will still encounter Isese and allied spiritualities. There, Isese still exerts its hold on the human spirit. Visit Brazil, go to Columbia, explore Cuba, and be humbled by the tenacity of this spirituality among the descendants of black humanity.’’

He urged the monarch to rein in those he described as agents of division, of triumphalist intolerance, such as the Majlisu Shabab Ulamahu Society and call the priestess to his side, make peace with her and make restitution whichever way he could for what he termed the grievous insult to our race.

Soyinka stated, “We know the history of Ilorin and the trajectory of your dynasty – but these are not the issues. The issue is peaceful cohabitation, respect for other worldviews, their celebrations, their values and humanity. The issue is the acceptance of the multiple facets of human enlightenment.’’

Where's the school located self?

They were not slaves. He had been freed as a boy. Stop spreading fake rumors and find a job. I don’t have time to argue with jobless people. Oshodi had been in Lagos and free long before Kosoko even decided to think about the throne. You are quoting Wikipedia where you can go and rewrite history. I am sure you are not even Lagosian because you will not say this nonsense.

You don’t even know there is Ijebu Epe and Eko Epe Lol.

This Tapa man wants to claim Ijebuland! Dey play. Ijebu land extends from Ogun state into Lagos state. Epe and Lekki are part of Ijebuland

When Kosoko fled Lagos to Epe, the Elepe then sought the permission of Awujale to accept Kosoko and his Nupe slaves (now fighters) into his kingdom and they were given land.

They didn't conquer Epe but they were accepted warmly by the Ijebus. You can only claim a place as yours if you conquer it (Indegenship by conquest).

Christistruth03:
I read that he followed his uncle from Bida to Lagos while they were escaping the Fulani Jihad and being Nupes Princes it would be normal for them to be introduced to the Oba who probably already knew his family well
the Nupes and Yorubas being close relatives

Epe ,Lekki belongs to the Ijebu and even the British and the Supreme court acknowledged it

Oshodi and Kosoko were refugees in Epe when Epe was already Ijebu the same with Badagry that was an Egun town under Alaafin of Oyo but which Kosoko also sought refuge in as an ally of Oyo after Eletu Odibo chased him from Lagos for marrying his beautiful fiance

Epe that belongs to the Ijebus na em Nupe man want claim? The guy dey play. The Nupes in Oyo and Lagos are close but if they want to play Igbo and Fulani with us, they will get the treatment.

2mch:
Lol. You are a joke and a confused person. I bet you don’t know anything about Oshodi. Oshodi are a powerful family and they own Oshodi. . Oshodi was never Oba Kosoko’s slave but a military man, the best in Nigeria and a supporter of Kosoko. He had his own slaves, who also occupy the Oshodi area since after the war they decided to stay with Oshodi. It’s like you are not well at all. Go and read on Oshodi and learn.

Kosoko would have been killed or enslaved if Oshodi did not mobilize and use his army to fight the British. Even Onigbesa family would have been destroyed without Oshodi and a lot of Lagos would have even been stolen by the Binis without Oshodi.

Oshodi had been free since he was a boy. He was a Nupe Prince, a boy who was to be king of the Nupe’s. Betrayed by his uncles. just like Sango was a Nupe Prince too. Sold into slavery and his brilliance freed him from when he was a little boy. I don’t belong to that family but you can never downplay the Oshodi’s in Lagos. They are a very powerful family and will soon be getting a royal title for their lands which was very well earned by their ancestor. They are the warrior family of Lagos. De play!

Who was Oshodi? Was he Nupe or Yoruba? He was a slave turned into a fighter. The Oshodis were Nupe slaves turned into warriors.

Oba Kosoko used them to regain his throne but they were repelled by the British.

The way price dey respect TL ehn, na magic o.

Let's learn how to draw TL correctly.

2mch:
Oshodi belongs to Oshodi family. Not Onigbesa. This is why it is called Oshodi. It was a payment for protection, yes and has belonged to Oshodi family. Don’t write things on the internet that will cause chaos in future out of ignorance. No let Oshodi family people descend on you.

No part of Lagos belongs to the Osofis (Tapas/Nupes)! The Nupes came to Lagos as servants)slaves to Oba Kosoko before his dethronement, after which he fled to Epe with these same slaves now fighters.

So the Oshodis were one of Oba Kosoko s slaves who fled to Epe and many scattered all over Lagos (Epe, Agege, Orile etc.).

One thing I like about them being s that they've really acculturated with Yorubas but they still practise their Igunnu festival till today.

OwoukoUrua:
I sat for WAEC twice and JAMB UTME thrice so I'm very sure of what I'm saying. It could be that things have changed as you have postulated.

For an honest an hardworking student, it easier to score 300+ in JAMB than to get A's in WAEC
For a dishonest student, it is easier to get parallel A's in WAEC than to even score up to 200 in JAMB.

Reasons:
There are numerous miracle centers for WAEC scattered all around the country.
UTME being a CBT test is much more difficult to exploit.
WAEC questions leak, JAMB questions don't.
Jamb sets different questions for each batch of candidates sitting for it's exam, WAEC sets the same questions for all candidates.
JAMB CBT centers are fewer than WAEC examination, making way for more effective supervision.


With the right amount, you can get a parallel A's WAEC result without ever sitting for the examination if you know the right place to go to.

Correct!

Wow! Deeper Life School. Those teachers in that school are geniuses; 90% in all science subjects.

English should rest abeg, Maths is life!

Thumbs up Anambra! This is how to show intelligence not grammar.

I love mathematics!

Donsheddy:
Just won 6k 2 step stellar account from fundednext 🕺🕺🕺🕺

Congrats! Once I saw sheddy on their discord, I knew it's our guy for his contributions.

No try DSS o! They use both physical and metaphysical to get things done. I repeat, don't try DSS!

Wonderful! So what goes up can come down in our dear country. I bought at 750 last month.

ukaface:
Abeg o
Edo no be Yoruba o

Akokos in Edo can never be Binis; so are the Ijaws, Auchis, Esans and Ebiras.

You Binis always take others as part of you; Edo is multi-ethnic just like Delta state.

Kajaard:
A tribalistic fool spotted. Bigoted idiot.

Stop claiming Edo. We want no part of your fight with the Igbos.

Binidiot, fuckkkk off! Useless fraudster and cultist.

Kajaard:
Continue playing. We are not Yorubas and never will be. We are Edos. A proudly neutral ethnicity.

Remove us from your ethnic war with the igbos. Nonsense.

Keep quiet! Akokos aren't Benins, they are Yorubas. Who wants to be associated with fraudsters, cultists and prostitutes?

Scream:
Most of those people you are calling SW are from Edo

SW, SS or NC, they're all Yorubas! We are one. Akokos in Edo state are part of us.

Action President! Nigeria must be great again.

It's like one and two used EA hence their disqualification. Shocking seeing 97% profit in a month.

Thieves! They want us to continue using our revenue to service debts.

I trust my president, interest rates are going to crash significantly; we may even embark on a negative interest rate regime like it was done in the Eurozone.

Hike in rates in Nigeria can never curb inflation! Emeffy did it, prices never came down.

A country like Nigeria needs to prioritise growth over price stability.

zedegit:
Never trust the humility of a poor man. By the time this dude grab now, you go see his true colour. Nobi person wey dey drag Greetcheer be this?

Because money don enter you don turn to pap.
I raise yansh for you.

Who be this small pikin nah? Adults dey here for business you wey den still dey feed dey disturb us here. Abeg go suck your mama breast make your brain set well.

This thread isn't for kids, please; it's a business thread. Go to Joke thread and enjoy yourself.

Houseontherock1:
Really? She doesn't look like she can fake it...the parents/guardian should say something before they tarnish this girl's name

Igbo parents are the culprits! In my Cybercafe, they do all sorts of runs for their children to gain admission into Federal Government Colleges by ensuring their children got high scores.

Igbos and cheat are like 5 and 6.

infofirst:
Sure. You have done well to have drop proof of your competition outcome despite fxblue messing up. @samfelly scheduled have delayed his updating of the house.
Every one that hit 10% & not up to 20% should drop screenshots like Elliotwaveforec did so we can know how many we have. So we can award the accounts.

Then for July, those interested should join the link @samfelly dropped. We follow same thing. That you win in June does not stop you frm July. No chilling until max funding is attained.

Thanks for always keeping your words and more power to your elbow.

I will try my best not to disappoint you.

samfelly:
Since FXBLUE dey put sand sand for traders soft work, here, we have decided to plead with everyone who made 10% and above (below 20%) should please reply this quote with a screenshot so that your ministry can be on its way to its permanent site o. Please, add your TFT nickname, also
