Also, for the name of gods starting with CH or Z. This is dependent on the flavour of Yoruba Language used in that area. For instance, the Brazilian or Cuban Yoruba flavour (Anago) or the one used in some west africa countries might be pronounced or spelt that way. I have seen where Sango was spelt as Zango outside Nigeria. There are over 400 gods before the coming Islam and Christianity to Yoruba land. |

Bros, I know your problem is 2015. Be sure you will get it only if the fulanis you dreaded most allow it. The fulanis conquered only the Ilorin Town. Afonja was the Aare Onakakanfo the head of the Oyo empire Army. During the reign of Aole (Alaafin of Oyo).He made himself the ruler of Ilorin and refused to pay homage to Alaafin by making himself and Ilorin independent of the empire. The Fulanis came as strangers, out of hospitality culture, he accommodated them and gave them free hand anywhere.They had another motives. They were with him as brothers not as Jihadist against him until the war borke out. He sought assistance from the Oyo empire but was refused. Ibadan warriors later defeated them and sent them back. This is the reason no traditional ruler in Yoruba wears turban or Lawani in Yoruba language except the emir in Ilorin. This is just history. On Diya, Sani, Ishaya and Al-Mustapha will explain better. On the Mayfair roundabout and pot holes from Modake and Lagere roads or drainage. The writer is well done. The roads are okay, maitenance is an ongoing thing. Anybody passing through Ife town from Ife/Ibadan road will notice that these roads are maintained in dry season. The Yoruba culture is a celebrated culture. All the opposing views to Aregbesola gesture is out of jealous. They are the same people calling him islamic fundamentalist 1 Like |

bolajess: WHAT Indeed we have serious problems in Nigeria. I can't imagine how you all would hail something people in ILE - IFE considered a failure. I was there yesterday and was held in traffic for over 2 hours for a 5 mins drive when the Governor and all ACN members across the state stormed town like bees. This is a head that the politicians spent N50M on and it adds no real value to the people. Mind you I am bread and butter of ILE IFE and I keep regretting voting Aregbesola everyday .. this is a Governor who spent N150M on explosives(banger) during the yuletide. Now I can see the problem with Nigeria is not PDP, ACN or LP, it is the masses. Shame on you all .... A governor who hasn't commissioned a completed road project in 2 years came to a round-about block the town and disturbed our peace, yet you all think he deserves some praiseFor God sake, let us be constructive in our criticism. Do you have evidence to prove all these allegations? PDP don come again. God go save u yeye people. |

babaolofin: Bros, I know your problem is 2015. Be sure you will get it only if the fulanis you dreaded most allow it. So funny, you can imagine........ Do you know Aregbesola's sister is also a christian. This shows you that most Yoruba's don't really care about Christianity or Islam, we only hide our sacred world our-story traditional religion behind other religion. That is why our ideology to life and spirits are so different. Watch Yoruba movies and can tell. 2 Likes |

X-factoria: Tell that to bigots ooo. Ilorin went to Fulanis because yoruba force failed to send reinforcements to afonja due to internal rancor. |

good job again, Aregbesola. now all we need to do is to get the original Idol back and ofcourse we need some development aswell. |

PeterKbaba: the funny thing is i totally agree with this!! and i'm christian. The ironic thing is that the ones who denounce traditional gods the most will tend to be the ones guilty of pseudo-christianity. Why are they so obsessed and fearful of so called "powerless" traditional gods so much that all their christian life revolves around these so called gods and spirits they are perpetually in "spiritual warfare" with. clearly they still believe in their powers. my parents are guilty of this. and yeah, I watch a lot of yoruba movies. totally understand what u mean. |

tpia@: The Original is more beautiful than this bogus one- it purely shows the expertise of our ancestors and their natural beauty . .The artist that cast this huge replica should have made the 30feet replica of Ori olokun the way it is ,'not with distorted features to make it looks more modern look or negroid whatever ,The calmness catchy face of the original as if the head is smiling back when look at it is lost ..However i really appreciate what the Government has done reviving Yoruba cultural heritage

I can't expect much from modern African artist we are too lazy to strive for perfection 'We are more into abstract art than realism ."dancing to the tune of European assumption,' stereotype about nature of African art. |
