What Happened To The Respect Of The Yorubas? by Destined2win: 11:42am On Apr 05, 2016 |
Note that I am not writing this little piece out of any ulterior motive but to speak my mind on a very important issue which concerns my yoruba people who will make part of my territory when I become President. Heaven knows that this is without prejudice! To the main issue. The recent media outbursts of some yoruba artists have really put in doubt the long held perception that yoruba people are very respectful to their elders, and are somehow reserved in their speech. Well, I have been indifferent about that percpetion because as someone who resides in a yoruba land, I have seen respectful yorubas and insulting ones. Candidly speaking, I see more of insulting ones than respectful ones. A lot of the ones that give you respect do so as a 'reward for a favor' or 'as a green flag for an expectation. Not quite long ago during the headies, a yoruba artist by name Olamide who felt his candidate was short-changed in the headies awards came out on stage to rain abuses on both the host and the audience that had people of different background and nationalities. It was very disgraceful! I expected to see a yoruba elder remind olamide that he is from a 'respectful tribe' but alas, i waited in vain. Olamide used unprintable words on the person of Don jazzy his elder, yet he is from tribe that does not insult elders but 'respectfully' register their grudges or dissatisfaction. This young man is a role model for a lot of young people; and I have seen a lot take after his pseudo-name, 'badoo'. If he apologized for those trashy words on twitter, I am yet to read about it. Where is the respect of the yorubas? And the most recently, wizkid, a 'respectful' yoruba boy literally committed verbal murder on One Miss linda Ikeji, using all kinds of unprintable, anti-woman, anti-human words on her. Wizkid showed how depraved our youths have become. I expected a rebuttal from some yoruba elders, but alas, my expectation seem to be meeting a dead end. His colleage in the industry David, another 'respectful' yoruba boy saw joy and bravery in what Wizkid did. If you check online, you would see that majority of those who rejoice in this 'little boys' outburst are yorubas. It puts a big question mark on the 'respectfulness' of this lovable tribe. Some should please answer me, where is the respect of the yorubas? 10 Likes |

While we use the Yoruba tribe as a case study, it is pertinent to note that respect was one of the core values cherished by Africans. But today, we have traded that for the unwholesome practices of the west, under the veil of religion and development. With the 'development and civilization' we see ourselves going down the drain, killings, maiming, suffering and all forms of vices on the rise. 1 Like |

From observation yoruba mainly the younger men under 35 are the most vile, uncouth, misguided, irrational sets of men on this planet. You see them even here on Nairaland with monikers like pussycream, juicypussy, vaginajuice, Pussyodour, GstringAngela, pardon my language. I wasn't surprised when I heard Wizkid use such dirty language on Linda. They have no control. The reason for this behaviour will shock you...most yoruba men today are raised by single mothers, meaning no fathers at home. In most cases where there are fathers at home, the women run the family. Matriacy is very strong in yoruba household which is the opposite in Igbo and hausa where patriacy is incredible strong...translates to discipline. Older yoruba men know what I'm talking about...they see this everyday. A popular US psychiatrist once said it takes a mother to raise a child but takes a father to raise a man! 10 Likes 2 Shares |

What stops Linda from getting Whizzy's comment b4 embarrassing/disgracing him in public? If he keeps quiet, he is a coward; he does a back to sender with bonus, he is vulgar? Olamide felt dissed, his qualified candidate lost to a lesser talent(irrespective of d voting requirements), he dissed d organisers, what is DonJazzy's own? His he in cahoots with d organisers? Guy, I grew up hearing my tribe described as cowards, even right here on nairaland! And, I'm supposed to encourage such mentality to what end? All my states are filled with foreigners, building, making biz even taking political posts and its not being reciprocated, yet they will turn arnd and call it a no-man's land, or a useless eze will dis a 1st class Oba?
