He said he will give his sons key to the 'guest house', not 'girls house'.

PS - Seyi is Awolowos great grandson. What a shame to the family name.

DeLaRue:
I don't think 'isese' is a known concept in Ondo and Ekiti. I could be wrong.

In Ondo, I think Ogun the god of iron is more widely celebrated/worshiped by followers of traditional religion, and every town seem to have different thing they worship. I am not sure they come together under a single umbrella like 'Isese'.

There is also the fact that Christian influence is quite dominant in Ekiti and Ondo, and followers of traditional religion in those states generally do their thing and keep a low profile.

Those from those states can educate us better.
Ondo state and Ekiti are very homogenously 90% christian, dts why i said ori-oke people. You know all the mountains in ekiti state are full of CAC prayer churches. People travel from all over to visit prayer mountains there.
Just like kwara is homogenously very muslim, and ilorin is called 'ilu awon alfa'.

Oyo, ogun, Lagos and osun have declared isese public holiday on Monday. Dts love, dt they’re all making a stance for the osun priestess woman.

Everybody has a right to practice their personal religion as long as they’re not committing a crime.

Monday, August 21, has been declared work-free in Osun by the state government in commemoration of this year’s annual Isese Day celebrations.

A statement signed by the Osun State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. Kolapo Alimi, on Saturday, said the governor, Ademola Adeleke approved the holiday being leader of a government that promotes oneness, unity, and religious harmony among practitioners of different religions.

Alimi, who urged Isese adherents to be peaceful in their celebrations further noted, “I have the honour and privilege to convey the compliment and best wishes of the Executive Governor of Osun state, His Excellency, Senator Ademola Adeleke to all traditional religion worshippers in Osun state on the occasion of this year’s 2023 Isese Day celebrations coming up tomorrow 20th August 2023.

“As a government that promotes oneness, unity, and religious harmony between the practitioners of different religions in Osun State, Mr. Governor has approved, Monday, the 21st of August 2023 as a Public Holiday throughout the state.

“Finally, Mr Governor while congratulating all traditional religion worshippers and wishing them happy celebrations on this occasion, also wishes to implore them to make the occasion not only peaceful and fun-filled but another opportunity to pray for the government and good people of Osun state.

“The state government wishes Isese adherents a peaceful and rewarding celebration.”

You are ón spot.. Life of a Yoruba person is the easiest..

Every women in all tribes have probably dated a Yoruba or married one.. Even if they don't, they always wish to. We ooze sophistication... We are accommodating, we are not religiously or culturally divisive, every Yorubas are equal, we value both female and male child. We are Omoluabis

We are gentle, cool headed, sophisticated, advanced, smart and to top it all, we value our culture.... Other tribes like the IGBOS have some of these too but none has it perfect like yọrubas..


IGBOs are great too because I might marry one

Most Nigerians are daftly funny. With above elaborative qualities, yet the Yoruba are wholesomely terrified to stand alone.
Awolowo fought for that tooth and nail and Azikiwe argued against him, even enrolled the NPC and the British to make sure secession becomes a treasonable offense.
Blame the cunny, simple minded and greedy leader for not seeing beyond his nose.

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.
Nairaland General › Re: NNPC’s $3bn Loan, FG’s Dubious Attempt To Stabilise Naira, Atiku’s Aide, Shaibu by leanonme82:
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.

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. angry
Many religions, ecspecially the jews, practise animal sacrifice during their worship too. I'm sure u'll find that in ur old testament.

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?

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).

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.

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.
