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?

Yorubas de see curse as daily bread. Some even use curse for greeting. Ibadan ni mo wa...

Too much disrespect is burying it! We're being taken for cowards, and d current youths are out to correct that mentality.

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.

are you going to judge the entire race based on what some kids are doing?

Mention 1 fracas, which was initiated by d Yorubas? They tend to be reactive.

Mumu!go find job and stop worrying about useless stuff amukunmeko

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!

Are the elders of the yoruba nation not doing their job any more?
You hardly find a lot of them cautioning young ones who perpetrate evil. What is wrong?

While their jewish friends were raised in baby factories

See dis e-goat?? Abeg who call you inside this matter?? Your Anambra kinsmen dominate the drug trade in Africa, yet una no get the ballz to address such epic embarrassment, but na Yoruba matter you wan die on top. Don't you have a Biaafra or 'willie Willie is working' thread to go and masturbate over?

Are you a fool?

So your defintion of being a 'stand-up' guy is abusing your elders and not learning how to address issues in public and using vulgar words on people? Hmm! Now I get it

Hagm0nd:

Ok. You weren't reffering to me, yet you couldn't say it without using abusive words? Why....oh why? My yoruba brother? Where is thy respect?

Op u are looking for more insults, just wait..... they will soon be here

. Listen fowl, the mere fact that you are dumb and stvpid enough to make such sweeping generalization demonstrates clearly that you are more guilty than those you are accusing.

I just saw a foolish man,probably raised in a brothel
it was not an insult,it was an acknowledgement
are you at peace now

Did you read the article well? If you did, you will see that I didn't generalize. I used the word 'some'. Yet again, you are going the abusive way. Change brother....change and uphold the respectful tenets of the yoruba nation

Ok. Let's go back to our respectful ways. It is more profiting. The yorubas used to be a symbol of a respectful Africa, What happened to all that?

Mod pls move this stuff out of politics section! Sighting example with Olamide,wizkid etc and asking for the respect of yorubas? Joke of the century!

This is exactly wat we're talking abt! U asked a question, I gave u ans, now u're twisting everytin arnd? Ur intentions are evil!

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? So, we should wait until d Isreali/Palestine scenario occurs ba?

Well dont ask me
you can take a bus around their cities and ask the obas
im sure they will give a perfect answer
