To all the people saying he had money before. That’s not the point. The point is children of politicians can no longer read the room. They don’t promote any causes, charities or even live quietly. Funny enough we now expect more from celebrities than we do from politician kids.

Asọ Òkè isn’t Top Cloth

The name came about because coastal Yoruba people had to travel far to the hinterlands to get it.

Oyo Empire was so feared that when Akyem under Ashanti empire (both in present day Ghana) was seeking the help of Dahomey for freedom, Ashantis were not worried, it wasn’t until Akyem asked Oyo for help that Ashanti decided to invade Dahomey. They beat Ashanti woto woto in 1764

Took me so long but I finally connected the dots.
This it Timi Mosunloye, the Timi of Ede, a town in Osun state.
He ruled for 7 years after Timi Lagunju was deposed for the 3rd and final time in 1892.
This picture was taken in 1893, during Sir G.T. Carter’s travels in Yorubaland.

Anyways I like posting old pictures of Yoruba land. Thanks to the Yoruba people who continually made connections to their people in South America. The Amaro and Aguda (NOT SARO) came back home to build these beautiful places after the King gave them land. 😍 circa ~1890s-1910s
If not for the igbo tribe, Amuwo Odofin and larger parts of lekki and Ajah will remain a slum.

10 years after his tragic death, Steven’s brother, Cary Stayner became the Yosemite Serial Killer. He brutally killed 4 women in 1999, including 2 minors, all within 6 months. He asked for child p*rn in exchange for his confessions
One was a victim and hero, the other a villain.
14. At age 7, Steven Stayner was kidnapped by Kenneth Parnell, a pedophile who abused him for seven years and convinced him his family couldn't afford to keep him. When Stayner was 14, Parnell kidnapped a new child named Timothy.
Afraid for him, Stayner ran away with Timothy

No, pro-Yoruba sentiments has been in existence since the 1800s. A lot of S.A. freed slaves and scholars began the Yoruba renaissance because Yoruba in W.A. stayed connected to the freed slaves and gave them a home when they came back. Yoruba loved their own as they do till date

Instead of cursing out the youths, he found a solution.

Iborun is the Yoruba word for head covering, draped over the shoulders and used to cover the head, Gele is a specific piece that can be used alongside the iborun, it’s hold cultural/spiritual significance to the Yoruba people. Educate yourself and stop diminishing other cultures
My hot take is that no tribe owns what we currently refer to as “gele”
Gele is a Yoruba word that describes hair ties, a cultural staple for women in most Nigerian tribes.
Each tribe styled them differently, but recently, the styling has become uniform and flavorless imo.
