AROKO

In Yoruba culture AROKO is a non verbal semiotic system of communication. For example, sending a broom to someone means you no longer want to see them in your house. Yorubaness #YorubaNation

The owners of colonial enterprise Nigeria

Image
The owners of Nigeria took Awolowo out of prison in the 1960s when their business venture was on the verge of division. In the 1990s when their business was on the verge of division, they took one of the class of 1966 pretending to be a Yoruba man, their agent OBJ out of prison. In 2023, after 8 years of Buhari dividing their business venture and reminding the trapped indigenous people that they were not one , are not one and will never be one, Tinubu stepped forward despite the land mines laid and their games.

The wisdom of the old and the young according to the Yoruba.

Ifa says that both the young and the old have wisdom and each brings their share to work for the good of all. What the old in Colonial enterprise Nigeria have done is to corrupt the Yoruba culture to say that only they have wisdom Men in their 80s, 70s, and 60s will say you must turn 60 or 70 before you can lead 🙄 These selfish old men will say haven't they being there before you🙄 That you must stay behind them 🙄 These so called elders will now run to countries where nobody cares about your age,  countries run by people less than 60, countries where all they care about is your competency. These selfish, visionless old men are part of the reason the Yoruba people are in the state  we are in today, so having created the mess, why should anyone listen to anything they have to say? Let the Yoruba return to her roots and respect the wisdom of the young too.  #everygenerationisanewpeople #OduduwaRepublic

The Reason for why the West's War on Gaddafi & Libya

Posted by The Reunion Black Family on June 1, 2011 at 2:42 PM It was Gaddafi’s Libya that offered all of Africa its first revolution in modern times – connecting the entire continent by telephone, television, radio broadcasting and several other technological applications such as telemedicine and distance teaching. And thanks to the WMAX radio bridge, a low cost connection was made available across the continent, including in rural areas. It began in 1992, when 45 African nations established RASCOM (Regional African Satellite Communication Organization) so that Africa would have its own satellite and slash communication costs in the continent. This was a time when phone calls to and from Africa were the most expensive in the world because of the annual $500 million fee pocketed by Europe for the use of its satellites like Intelsat for phone conversations, including those within the same country. An African satellite only cost a onetime payment of $400 million and the continent no longe
