"A rare photo of a Diviner, Alaafin of Oyo & the almost legendary Capt. William A Ross. Who helped Alaafin of Oyo gain prominence again as paramount ruler of Yorubas- He was resident of Oyo 1914-1931. Ross was a friend of Alaafin Ladigbolu I. See how organized the palace is?" 81 Likes 10 Shares

This is the beauty of Yoruba culture. I could vividly remember those early 90's when Obi of Onisha and Oba of Benni used to come for fatherly and elderly advice in the palace of Alaafin of Oyo. Kabiyesi ooooo 160 Likes 13 Shares |

Firroda: Let me translate it for you. I don’t know ami ohun much like that which explained why you might not understand it well. Also, I used a proper Oyo dialect. —Oyo Alaafin (Oyo, the descendant of the Alaafin) —Ojo pa sekere omo atiba (Rain must not beat sekere, Son of Atiba) —Oyo nipe kolowo ko gbowo (Oyo said the creditor should collect his money) —Oni koni iwofa gba tire (He also went to tell the debtor (Iwofa - a system where people use their family as collateral to borrow money) not to pay his debt) —Ase kole ba di’ja, ko le ba daapon (Not knowing that the reason why Oyo did this is so that fight can happen) —Komo oba le ri ‘n muje (So the prince can eat) —Oyo gbin agbado oran seyinkule elenkule (Oyo planted a wicked mystery maize/corn of trouble at another man's backyard) —Elenkule o gbodo faatu, be ni ko si gbodo faaya (The owner must not uproot it, and he must not shred it) __Omo iku, tiku kogbódò pa (child of death who death cannot kill) ----Omo Arun, tarun kogbódò see (child of pestilence who cannot be tied down by sickness) ----Omo Ofo, tofo kogbódò see(child of calamity whom calamity can't afflict ) All this eulogy of Oyo is just showing the empire might. Imagine planting a corn/maize of trouble at the back of one’s compound and telling him not to uproot it nor shred it. Like you’re showing your might and power over them. 205 Likes 30 Shares |

Beautiful. So proud to be a Yoruba man with royal blood. No wonder the other side with little or no history or early civilization are always jealous and hateful of everything about the south west. 58 Likes 6 Shares |

SlyDev:The picture is from early 20th century (after Amalgamation). By then, Igbo businessmen have started developing estates in Lagos. By the way, I never knew we would get to a level when Yorubas will start celebrating what the white men built as theirs. Lol. These people are more Shameless than I thought. 22 Likes 5 Shares

If you want to talk about people being naked, talk about the Yoruba women in the picture below that the few things they are wearing are worth absolutely nothing You can't compare yourselves with Ndigbo.
