I protect Yoruba culture.
I love my freedom . I will never trade it with.
I don't want to share country with extremist and core Northern Nigeria.

Afonja was the most powerful Yoruba General ever. Are-Ona-Kakanfo.
He trusted Alimi, a Fulani cleric, with his entire security.
His blood brother Agborin warned him: "Don't trust them."
Alimi framed Agborin. Afonja killed his own brother.
Once the brother died, Alimi killed Afonja too and his son became Emir.
Ilorin is Yoruba land till today, but with an Emir.
The lesson? Never kill your brother to please a stranger.

There is no single account that is pro sharia in Yorubaland that did not campaign against Iru Ekun security network.
Every single one of them!
They want you defenseless against their foot soldiers.

Entrance of Ọọ̀ni of Ifẹ́, Olúbàdàn of Ìbàdàn, Déjì of Àkúrẹ́, Ṣọ̀ún of Ògbómọ̀ṣọ́ at the Capital Sage Holding's 10th anniversary, grand opening of global headquarters and Mega Exhibition. For a company that started 10 years ago as a micro-lending operation with just ₦100,000 in seed capital, this is massive.
They have since grown into a multi-sector enterprise group of more than 20 operating companies, operating in 30+ countries.

Nnamdi Kanu rallied the whole of South-East Ibo land to a regime of weekly 24hr Sit-At-Home and horrendous actions of terrorism, holding their economy and kpaing thousands of people for Five years and Nigeria barely noticed. Fulani Bandits and Boko Haram have been kpaing, kidnapping and holding the economy of the North for 15 years yet Nigeria is moving. Forget Lagos, ÌWÓ road is just an area in Nigeria's largest city of Ibadan, try shut it down or allow Igboho to dance disco there for ONE DAY, Nigeria will begin to collapse immediately. Shebi you think "One Nigeria" makes us mates abi???

IT'S OFFICIAL! LAGOS, GET READY! 👑
Months ago, a passionate son of Lagos wrote to us about the gele. He asked that it be honoured, protected, and given its rightful place on the Lagos calendar.
We listened. We affirmed. And today, we deliver.
The Lagos Gele Festival is here! 🇳🇬
The gele is not just a headtie. It is a crown. It is Yoruba. It is ours. Born of our mothers, perfected by our artisans, worn across the world, and recognized everywhere as a symbol of who we are.
This festival will celebrate the stylists, the fabric makers, the tiers, the photographers, and the generations of women who carried this tradition on their heads and in their hearts.
📅 Sunday, November 8, 2026
⏰ 5:00pm
📍 Eko Amore Garden, Lagos
Come crowned. Come proud. Come ready.
This festival belongs to all of us.
Lagosians and lovers of Lagos, your ideas and input are welcome. Tell us how you want the Gele celebrated. Brands and partners who share this vision, walk with us.

Gele 🤩🌷 Yoruba women, take your flowers! The beauty, artistry and legacy of our heritage deserve their flowers. 💐❤
@grok Gele is made from ANY stiff fabric, as per OED. University of Georgia, confirm Damask’s use for Gele since the 1960s. Aṣọ Ọ̀kè is not the only fabric.

Islamic extremist groups including Boko Haram, ISWAP and Fulani militias account for the vast majority of deaths, terrorism and destruction in Nigeria. ORFA data for 2019-2025 attributes 44% of civilian killings to Fulani terror groups and 12% to Boko Haram/ISWAP combined. No equivalent organized Christian extremist groups produce comparable tolls; Christians form a disproportionate share of the victims.

Yes, Ojukwu rejected land corridors for international food aid (Red Cross etc.), insisting on airlifts that also carried arms. His US PR man Robert Goldstein resigned in 1968, accusing him of using starving civilians as hostages for propaganda and talks.
Images of hungry children were heavily used in Biafran PR to gain Western sympathy.
The £20 applied only to unverified Biafran currency. Proven pre-war Nigerian bank deposits were repaid in full with interest. Awolowo also released saved East Central allocations (millions), gave monthly £990k subventions, and funded ACB (£3.5m) plus Cooperative Bank for recovery.

AJANKORO DUGBE DUGBE FASORANTI HAS TRANSFORMED INTO THE AFTERLIFE!
What a patriot! What a life of sacrifice, conviction and service to our nation, and to the Yoruba nation in particular.
Oh, Olódùmarè, Ọlọ́run Ọba Ọ̀run, please receive Baba Reuben Fasoranti into Your eternal embrace. Grant him mercy and let him find a place among the revered ancestors whose lives were devoted to the service of their people.
Oh, Jeremiah Obafemi Oyeniyi Awolowo, Leader Supremos, welcome him with praises! Baba Reuben did not let the Yoruba race down when it mattered most. At a time when others appeared willing to relegate the great questions of restructuring, true federalism and the building of a better, more sustainable Nigeria to the background, Baba Fasoranti stood firm. He held on to his convictions until the very end.
Agbe, bá wa gbé Baba déle! Alùkò, bá wa jẹ́ kí Baba kó ire l’ọ̀nà!
We shall not merely mourn you; we shall celebrate your life, honour your sacrifices and keep your lessons close to our hearts. Your passing must not become another occasion for empty tributes that fade with time. It must be a call to reflection, renewal and purposeful action.
The Yoruba nation must reorganise, rebuild its intellectual and political strength, and produce the next generation of leaders who will place the growth, security, dignity and prosperity of our people at the centre of their mission. We must not allow the ideals for which you stood to die with you.
Baba, as you make your transition, we place one final plea upon your shoulders: take our prayers to Olódùmarè. Ask Him to bless the Yoruba people, strengthen our unity, restore our sense of collective purpose and guide us towards a future worthy of our history.
This is a profoundly sombre and reflective moment. With the departure of Baba Reuben Fasoranti, we feel that another great chapter in the history of our people is closing. Perhaps some of the last towering figures of that generation of principled leadership are now answering the call of eternity. Their passing leaves us with a solemn responsibility: to preserve their ideals and find the courage to carry them forward.
One hundred years! A long, remarkable and resourceful life, lived in service to our people and anchored in conviction.
Thank you, Baba Reuben Fasoranti, for standing firm. Thank you for your sacrifices. Thank you for reminding us that leadership is not merely about occupying positions, but about defending principles, preserving the dignity of a people and refusing to surrender what matters.
Take your deserved place among the stars, Baba.
May Olódùmarè grant you eternal rest, and may the Yoruba nation be worthy of the legacy you have left behind.
Sun re o, Baba Reuben Fasoranti.
Your life was a testament. Your convictions were a compass. Your legacy must become our responsibility.

Think Yorùbá First Mourns Pa Reuben Fasoranti, Afenifere Leader Who Died At 100
Think Yorùbá First (TYF) has mourned the passing of Pa Reuben Famuyide Fasoranti, revered Yoruba elder statesman and National Leader of Afenifere, who died at the age of 100.
In a condolence statement, the group described his death as a significant loss to Yorùbáland, citing his decades of public service, political engagement and contributions to Yoruba socio-political affairs.
TYF extended its condolences to the Fasoranti family, the people of Akure, the Ondo State Government, Afenifere and the wider Yoruba community in Nigeria and the diaspora.
The group also called for his legacy of leadership, selfless service and political consciousness to inspire future generations.

On the Passing of Pa Reuben Fasoranti
When a person reaches the remarkable age of a hundred, they have witnessed their beliefs tested in countless ways. Pa Reuben Fasoranti experienced the complexities of colonial rule, the hope of independence, the turmoil of civil war, the struggles of dictatorship, and the triumphs of democracy. Through it all, he stood firm in his convictions.
First and foremost a teacher, his dedication to education remained at the heart of who he was. He established schools, including one that honors his beloved wife, who passed away in 1991. Later, we came to know him as a staunch advocate of Awoism, a significant figure in NADECO, a voice that could not be silenced by the Abacha regime, and a leader of Afenifere.
However, we should not allow his impressive titles to overshadow the personal sacrifices he made for his beliefs. In 1996, a regime attempted to take his life, and in 2019, gunmen brutally murdered his daughter. Yet, even as he celebrated his centenary this year, Pa Fasoranti chose to speak of faith, hard work, and selfless service instead of bitterness and grievance.
Having dedicated much of my own life to the fight for democracy, I feel compelled to say this: individuals like Pa Fasoranti held the fort long before it was safe for the rest of us to step forward. With his passing, we lose not only a visionary but also a standard-bearer for justice and integrity. It is now up to us to honour his legacy and continue the work he started.
My deepest condolences go out to his family, the members of Afenifere, and the people of Ondo State.

Awolowo said in his book, that one of the games Zik planned on Yorubas of that time was to get them to hate their leaders, get them to see their leaders as corrupt and incompetent, and then tell them leaders from other ethnic group can offer them better governance than their leaders.
Look at igbos today, that’s the same game plan.
Even tho their region is the second most backward, they will still tell you they have good governance to offer you.
Their game hasn’t changed, a lot of you just don’t read.
If you read books about the politics of first republic, igbos will never fool you. Because their game hasn’t changed still.
