I was inspired to spend a prince's ransom to recreate the outfit and pose that General Olusegun Obasanjo unveiled on Tuesday, October 11, 1977. My couturier got everything right, except the abetí ajá.

By now, I reckon it is no secret that I am enamoured of Yoruba culture. Yorubas are some of the coolest people on Earth. Colonialism had almost no effect on their culture.

They are one of the few people that can go anywhere and make their hosts wish they were Yoruba. You cannot intimidate them. Yet they are not aggressive. The way they show respect. Their music. Their party loving nature. Their playfulness. The way they carry themselves in their native fashion. And yes, the Yoruba demon charm. So warm a people!

And their natural diplomacy is top-notch. Their ability to harmoniously disagree with you is almost talismanic! When other people call you werey, you will want to donate two slaps to them. But the way a Yoruba person says it makes you feel complimented! Broda, e sure she ori yin kpe?

One thing I will say is that they have a precise balance of strength and warmth. Not projecting too much strength to make you loathe them. And not exuding too much warmth to elicit disrespect. I don’t know how they do it. It might be innate. But we can all learn from them.

It's still lipstick on a pig. It also does not address the elephant in the room....we are not earning enough in dollars for the national treasury, and subsidy removal just lightened the burden, but not by very much. It's still darn heavy

Everybody knows this. Do Ur part by ensuring u only buy Nigerian and starve dollar demand.

Tinubu is an accountant and focusing heavily on revenue. This is why there has been a lot of activity in the SS recently to cut off illegal crude loopholes and his focus on natural gas.
We have other industries of course and Buhari did a remarkable job on Agricultural exports.Im not sure this govt is focused on injecting money into other sectors apart from this 2 though.

It has to be stabilized through NNPC. The oil imports are putting too much pressure on the newly deregulated FOREX market. It's good & creative way to stabilize the dollar demand.

The naira freefall can't be allowed to continue cos it will increase petrol prices. When the refieries are working and we don't need dollars to import fuel, the demand on dollar will reduce and the loan will be removed (the loan pays for itself cos it's against crude liftings on the NNPC balance sheet, we are not repaying in dollars).

Nigeria can't afford for fuel prices to rise further. It will increase inflation. The president did the right thing. Atikus guys just pissed he made dt choice. They were loving the disaster that was about to happen.

KwuoteYourFada:
no it's exposed how dumb you people can be imagine denying person from voting because he looks like igbo

Sisi yemi didn't say all this. These Igbos and propaganda ehn. See how they fleshed out and garnished the tweet wt Igbo talking points.

The most backward set of humans in west Africa. What the hell is a man doing with uncooked goat head in his mouth?

The osun osogbo festival is open to the public. They carry food, a live goat and live chicken into the osun grove. They slaughter it by the water there as sacrifice to the osun goddess and do their prayers once a year. Nobody puts it in their mouth, dts disgusting. So stop lying.
Many religions, ecspecially the jews, practise animal sacrifice during their worship too. I'm sure u'll find that in ur old testament.

nomolos92:
Ilorin will be eventually restored to the rightful owners and we will chase you crazy baldheads out of the town

But what is your business with that town. Wetin concern u concern ilorin.

toprealman:
This is beautiful. Imagine telling these crowd to vote for good governance…de play🤣🤣🤣
90% of whatever their prayer point will be resolved by good governance.
Many still do not understand what religion is unfortunately.

So traditional worship equates to backwardness? You mean it stops their sense.

But all these oyinbo people dey attend osun osogbo too na, even join to become priestesses. Are they backward in their country?

grandstar:
Is she a pagan? I met her at the gallery. Very down to earth.

Yes. She is pagan and an osun worshipper. She started her gallery/art school in osogbo. She was very close to the white Osun priestess Susan Wenger who lived in the osun osogbo grove (sacred forest).

Ejiakusmith:
Is too fetish..... Yoruba and juju like bread &
butter 🧈 🧈 🥪🥪🍞



Of all animals ... Na Goat head 🐐🐐 that one take the cabash him head

Respect peoples' religion. These are traditional worshippers. Most yorubas dont even worship osun.

hansomb:
There's nothing cultural in this. Fetish and occult practices is all I see

Osun osogbo is spiritual worship & sacrifice to the Osun river goddess by Osun followers. its not a dress up festival.

It's how the DSS gets to invade homes of private individuals without any sort of search or arrest warrants, only to whisk occupants away in gestapo style like hardcore kidnappers, that leaves plenty of cause for worry.

He spread defamation against judges. Its a national security issue.

Same reportera posted this. He should appeal to his president, even Obi did not make an argument in court that he won the election.

The letter is just full of so much hate and lies. Being into politics in Nigeria is tiring.

When the politician, Emeka Offor, locked up Chude concerning phone calls, no one insulted the man all over social media. No one even mentioned his name again after they found out, everyone just limited their calls to #freechude.

But they've been trending Fashola with insults for this boys offense. Why cover your own and demonize others?

On the fateful day (Aug 5th) when soldiers were supposedly surrounding Fashola in Abuja as he wrote PEPT judgement, he was seen in surulere at his father's 10yr remeberance and in the evening at Tobi Ashafas wedding in Victoria Island Lagos.

These propagandists are slow, so it's Fashola dt has not practised law in over 20yrs of his public service dt judges will ask to write a judgement, when APC has a huge team of a-list lawyers.

The reportera guy that wrote this was busy bragging on twitter after he posted the fake news, now hes crying.

Dude cooked up lies and was enjoying all the insults on Fashola and the Judges as he posted the news.

These people go cry tire.

This must be an impostor account to spread propaganda. There are so many of them.

Gajagojo:
Whether he reported a rumor or not what happened to rule of law? Why is his brother arrested? Did you go to school at all.

He's hiding. Once he presents himself his brother will be released. It's normal protocol.

Pepperdemisback:
The idiot will soon cry tribalism. Where did he write there its a rumour? He is still telling lies, how do you know they are Law Enforcement Agencies and how do you know what he was arrested for? Probably collected money like his fellow idiot did to defame Eniola Badmus.
There's one idiot here on this NL who posts fake news about people's death just for traffic. He will even post Candlelight, Service of songs, burial etc.
He has posted Aki, Regina, Chioma etc death, all just for stupid traffic.

When dt other politician locked up Chude concerning phone calls no one insulted the man all oversocial media.

But they've been trending Fashola with insults for this boys offense.

DSS came looking for him and took his brother for questioning. Why is he hiding? He should present himself at DSS office and his brother will be released. He sounds so gentle now. He wasn't talking like this after he made the fake news.

Some people just love fake news.

RomanGreen:
Igbophobia is real, answer your native Ikwere and leave out Igbo name then. Yen yen yen, y'all masturbate when it comes to Igbos, this shows touches of jealousy and envy...stay there and be salivating on top Igbo matter while your backyard is ravaged by pollution. Tell me how many Rivers Indigene own an oil well? Zero I guess. Your land is ravaged by oil spills, that is something worth fighting for but no you choose to lick the ass of your slave masters up north to get security contract for something that belongs to you. Shame on you, tueh

Stay there and be arguing about whether Ngozi is Igbo or Ikwere while the north destroy your land via the oil companies. And before you cap nonsense...I served in rivers state and I saw firsthand the damage there.

If you truly want to defend your people, start from there and not some stupid talk of genealogy...shame on you people. Jobless mofo wetin for handouts as "oyel money"

Tonye Cole, a Rivers man, owns Sahara Energy one of the biggest oil companies in Nigeria. They are 1 of 2 indigenous companies dt lift and supply crude to a lot of african countries too.

Christistruth03:
Your Governor in Kwara is Yoruba and the Emir of Ilorin gladly obeys him

Even the emir of ilorin is yoruba.

Are you ok. Haba!!

You're the one that is not okay if u think this is more beautiful than that.
