Mali was influenced by kush and Egypt, the gold deposit in the country and also being a trading route made it successful... there's early knowledge of the solar system as nothing to do with Islam ☪️

How the fuck did a book rooted in Yoruba culture become another Wakanda-inspired mess? The exaggerated costumes, the generic African accents. I’m so tired of Hollywood treating Africa like one big fictional kingdom. If you can’t respect the source material, leave it alone.

LET’S SHUN VIOLENCE: OUR CAMPAIGNS MUST BE ABOUT ISSUES THAT PROMOTE THE WELFARE OF OUR PEOPLE
I have followed recent reports of violence accompanying political events in different parts of the country.
Every form of violence stands condemned. Violence should never have a place in our political campaigns as we move toward the 2027 general elections.
Our campaigns should be about issues, a contestation of ideas that promote the welfare of our people and the progress of our country.
As the leader of this country, I commit myself to a peaceful, free, and fair election, and I urge political leaders and supporters across party lines to conduct themselves responsibly.
I have said that being in different political parties or pursuing different ambitions does not make us enemies.
As Nigerians, we are members of the same household living in different rooms. Therefore, our politics must elevate human conditions and focus on national progress and development.
I want to reiterate my previous directive to the security agencies: be strict and firm against anyone who seeks to test our resolve and will to preserve public order.
Our administration is committed to an orderly and peaceful election, and all political parties and candidates should be protected and free to campaign anywhere in the country without molestation or fear for their safety.
We shall not tolerate any irresponsible conduct by politicians and their supporters.
Security agencies are therefore authorised to confront thuggery and other anti-social and anti-democratic activities with full force.

If Tinubu doesn’t put an end to this madness he will regret it…
These people’s agenda is to put fear in the mind of APC voters so that they don’t come out to vote…
This madness must stop

I have to say this … even if it’s unpopular.
Again, I don’t know if he’s innocent or guilty but it’s impossible to get anything but a kangaroo Court in the UK. They arrest conservatives for free speech. They’ve basically sentenced him to death, for over 20 year old allegations, with zero evidence, only he said, she said, evidence. They’re about to do the same to the Tate brothers. Who have not been charged with anything in the USA, and are being held with no bail, all on charges from the commie UK. While they hold a U.S. citizenship. Again don’t send me nasty grams, I don’t care what you think about the Tate brothers, but they’ll never get a fair trial in the Commie UK / either charge them in the USA and give them a fair trail and their day in court, but if you send them to the communist UK, they’ll get their lives cancelled, guilty or innocent.
The UK never does this to liberals only to people who speak out and are conservative
The UK charged Julian Assange falsely of rape for years. Never forget what they’ll do.

Have you listened to Lagos radio stations lately? Pay attention to the callers and where they’re calling from.
I suspect the next census might reveal some interesting demographic changes in Lagos and other Southwest states.
Just an observation, but listen for 30 minutes and see what I mean.

Me I'm not a descendant of Adam o ...I be outlier I have ghost DNA...not of this planet 🙏🏽
EVERY CHILD WAS BORN A MUSLIM: THE PRIMORDIAL COVENANT WITH ALLAH PRECEDES ETHNICITY, FAMILY AND CULTURE.
One of the fundamental teachings of Islam is that every human being is born upon al-Fiṭrah (الفطرة), the original natural disposition upon which Allah created humanity: an innate inclination towards recognising, worshipping and submitting to the One Creator.
This understanding is rooted in the primordial covenant that Allah established with Adam and his descendants before their earthly existence.
Allah says:
"And [remember] when your Lord took from the children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants and made them testify about themselves, [saying], 'Am I not your Lord?' They said, 'Yes, we testify.'" Qur'ān 7:172.
This verse establishes the primordial testimony of humanity to the Lordship of Allah. It is a foundational part of the Islamic understanding of humanity's relationship with its Creator.
The Prophet Muhammad (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam) further explained:
"Every child is born upon the Fitrah, then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian or a Magian." Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 1385; Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2658.
This hadith is particularly significant. It establishes that religious identity acquired through family upbringing and social environment comes after birth. The child's original disposition is not the product of Arab ancestry, Yoruba heritage, Persian identity, African culture or any other ethnic affiliation.
Consider the implications of this teaching.
1. Islam precedes ethnicity. A person does not become Muslim because of being Arab, Yoruba, Hausa, Fulani or any other ethnic group. Submission to Allah is the original religious disposition of humanity.
2. Family identity comes after birth. One is born into a particular family, community and cultural environment. These affiliations do not precede the primordial covenant with Allah.
3. No ethnicity owns Islam. Islam is not the exclusive property of Arabs or any particular race, tribe or civilisation. It is the religion of submission to Allah, the Creator of all humanity.
4. Religious conviction must transcend family pressure. A Muslim's ultimate loyalty belongs to Allah and His guidance, not to family interests, ethnic sentiments or cultural expectations when they contradict divine principles.
5. Justice must never be sacrificed for kinship. Loving one's parents, siblings, relatives and ethnic community does not mean defending their wrongdoing. One cannot support oppression, injustice, corruption or falsehood simply because those responsible are one's relatives or fellow tribespeople.
6. Cultural heritage does not override divine guidance. Every culture deserves fair understanding and respect, but no cultural practice, ancestral tradition or ethnic sentiment should be placed above the commands of Allah.
The important distinction is that being born upon the Fitrah does not mean that every newborn possesses the conscious religious knowledge or legal responsibilities of an adult Muslim. It means that humanity's original disposition is one of recognition and submission to its Creator.
THE ULTIMATE LESSON
Before you became Yoruba, Hausa, Arab, Persian, African or European, you were among the descendants of Adam who testified to the Lordship of Allah.
Your family gave you a surname. Your community introduced you to a language. Your environment exposed you to a culture. But none of these created your primordial relationship with Allah.
Your ancestry is not your Creator. Your ethnicity is not your Lord. Your family is not your ultimate authority.
Allah is the Lord of humanity, and our ultimate allegiance belongs to Him.
May Allah keep us firmly upon the Fitrah, guide our families and grant us the courage to uphold truth and justice above every worldly attachment. Āmīn.

One afternoon in the year 2015 while I was advancing my Ifa knowledge in the compound of Babami Bankole Jokotoye of Arowomole compound in Ogbomoso. I just experienced a fresh discrimination (a story for another day) from fellow students in school (lautech). I reported the issue to my aforementioned baba and he said something that I can never forget. He said "Bí ìyà o bá tíì kárí, kìíse kọ̀".
Translation "If a problem has not touched everyone, it's hard to stop it".
Without explaining further, you already know what that statement means.
For many years, Onísẹ̀se have been crying against discrimination, segregation and direct attack (especially verbal attack) now the problem is getting evenly distributed. With time, everyone will do the needful.
As for now, let's enjoy the vibes.

Resist the plot to break Yorùbá people on religious lines.
Resist every attempt to divide the Yorùbá people along religious lines.
Every Yorùbá person has the fundamental right to practise their chosen religion without intimidation, discrimination or interference. Being Muslim, Christian or a traditional worshipper does not make anyone less Yorùbá.
Our religious differences must never become weapons for destroying our shared ancestry, history, identity and cultural heritage.
No religion should divide us. No individual or group should be allowed to turn our differences into instruments of hatred.
We are one people, and our unity must be protected.

The way you made this post, you’d think those extremist Muslims aren’t the ones attacking Yoruba traditions first and always trying to cause division among us. Yet, people like you have never called them out. Now that those who love Yoruba traditions are clapping back, you’re suddenly crying and playing the victim card. How many times have you yourself called out that Mufti Iwo, who always preaches about extremism in Yorubaland and constantly attacks Yoruba traditions and Onisẹ̀ṣe? I’m sure you support what he’s doing.
The only cleric I respect so much is Sheikh Habeeb in Agege. He has been preaching against extremists like you in Yorubaland for some time now. But you’ll still never listen, instead, they keep attacking that sheikh.
I don’t understand why some of you can’t live in peace with people who practise religions different from Islam. ‘Lakum deenukum wa liya deen’ , that’s what the Quran says. But no! You just want to fight every non Muslim and cause chaos everywhere.
Now you’ve started a war you cannot finish.
