The Yoruba people are renowned for their rich cultural heritage, deep-rooted traditions, and unique ways of resolving conflicts with dignity, tact, and wisdom. In Yoruba society, elders and rulers are seen as custodians of morality, decorum, and respect. Disputes, even when unavoidable, are expected to be settled with a sense of restraint, diplomacy, and reverence for heritage. Against this backdrop, the ongoing public spat between the Oluwo of Iwoland and the Ooni of Ife appears not only absurd but deeply troubling. These two men are not just traditional rulers; they are symbolic faces of Yorubaland. When such revered figures openly engage in trading words and displaying hostility, it sends the wrong message, both within the Yoruba nation and to the outside world. It is akin to watching a husband and wife descend into physical altercation before their children—an embarrassing spectacle that diminishes their authority and erodes the respect that binds the family together. The absurdity lies not in their disagreements—rulers have always differed—but in their mode of expression. Yoruba tradition teaches that kings are divine representatives, and as such, their actions should embody wisdom. By choosing open conflict over dignified resolution, they undermine the very culture they represent.

The Taxing Irony of Governance Nigeria has once again displayed its peculiar talent for irony. How does a government criminalize prostitution yet devise a framework to tax it? Is it a crime or a profession eligible for PAYE deductions? Tomorrow, should we expect a “Fraudster Tax” or even “Bandit VAT,” since every hustle seems to count? A state that cannot stabilize fuel prices or ensure steady electricity suddenly finds precision in taxing what it publicly condemns. This is governance turned on its head — a legitimate tax on an illegitimate trade. If absurdity were a ministry, one wonders who would qualify as minister.

What gives a name its values? Name involves a reputation, what others think of the one bearing that name. The way a name appears on a page​ or even the way it is pronounced—​is not what matters; what matters is whom and what that name stands for in the minds and hearts of others

How YouTube began with a letter from an aspirational man to his optimistic pals. Imagine sending an idea to your friends, and 20 months later, that concept develops into a company that you sell to Google for $1.65 billion.

The youngster who was abandoned by his parents after being accused of having a demonic spirit by a religious figure. He was later adopted by an atheist woman who was covered in tattoos but had a kind heart. The tragedies brought on by false religion and poverty are unfathomable.

The urge to conquer and achieve things physically or mentally is innate in Men. To keep this urges high you need to protect your Sexual Energy by means of semen retention. If you don't, you won't have much motivation: you'll be like a caged Lion. 😉😉

This is intriguing

Real people don't stoop to vulgarity to express themselves.

This thread sounds hilarious but I don't want condemn other people's traditions because I don't know what they will say if they get to know some things about our culture too.

I think the economy is on "olekoko bitter".

The marriage is already finished, whether you take it down or not.

Why didn't her phone fall? Is the phone anti-prank?

Although, it seems so fascinating. In fact, I feel like I've already entered. But It's the same degree of assurance that was offered when TITANIC was launched. We all know how it ends.

I seriously doubt that a true African man will ever join this.

Insanity at it's peak!!!
