Yorùbá! Yorùbá!! Yorùbá!!!
Ẹ̀meèló ni mo pè yín???
Pay attention to what is going on. The people we elected don't have enough làákàyè to decipher these things I'm about to distill.
1. The Sùrúlérè religious undertone finally confirms one thing.
Christian is the new euphemism for Ibo. Yorùbá open your eyes and your minds. When they agitate for "equal" political representation in your region, they are not fighting for "Yorùbá Christians". It is a back door policy to gain access into your political space and control it.
We have some grumblings here and there but generally Yorùbás don't give a hoot about your religion, we are (usually) more concerned about your roots, origin and antecedents.
Yorùbá will agitate for indigenous representation (such as the Àwórì and Ègùn in Lagos and in Ògùn) rather than religious.
Open your eyes and don't allow them to push you to allow that destructive influence into our polity.
Christians in Yorùbáland are mostly disingenuous and hypocritical. They will swallow hook, line and, sinker any propaganda that seems to push Christian (aka Ibo) agenda. They have been conditioned to "touch not my anointed" and have a disdain for tradition and culture.
It is not a surprise that they get outwitted by discerning Yorùbá who can see tomorrow just like Awólọ́wọ̀ did 50+ years ago.
Ẹ l'ajú yín sílẹ̀ kí tàlùbọ̀ tó kó wọ̀ọ́!!!!
2. The Otti propaganda is another thing we Yorùbás are stupid about.
Recall that the 2023 elections had a prominent Christian (aka Ibo) candidate who used a Christian term "Obidiot" to sway millions.
What this candidate did not account for was the "blast from the past" that showed that his people detested him so badly. It was irrefutable as it was digitally documented. He was the worst governor to ever rule the Christian State of Anambra.
They are trying to avoid that mistake with @alexottiofr. In a few years, they'll point you to videos and images of women dancing and singing for him as evidence of his "competence"( even if this is just some JB logo or a water fountain).
Be vigilant. You cannot beat them at propaganda of the mud.
3. Remember that you are the most populous tribe in Nigeria. Use your Yorùbá soft and economic power.
1. Educate your people offline! If you don't know what to educate your people follow @BusuyiOrisWorks and @AKakanfo and learn from their content. Teach your people!!
2. Employ competent Yorùbás! Don't be gatekeepers. Buy from Yorùbás. I don't mean only online vendors, I mean a deliberateness at ensuring you identify and buy from credible merchants offline.
There's an agenda to wipe us off with chemicals embedded in our drinks and medication. @DAwojide and @femiadebimpe have been championing the fight against fake products. Take that fight further. Identify Yorùbás that sell originals and support them.
3. Support leaders who are unapologetically Yorùbá. Awólọ́wọ̀ was unapologetically Yorùbá as was Akíntọ́lá, Bọ́lá Ìgè and as is @officialABAT. Renounce any leadership that is not unapologetically Yorùbá both in the region and at federal levels.
4. Connect with Yorùbá in the diaspora. Yorùbá in Benin, Ghana, Sénégal, Sierra Leone etc. Build a very strong bond and cultural bridge.
Yorùbá! Yorùbá!! Yorùbá!!!
