Yoruba Ronu, this is Worth Pondering

If you tell Oranmiyan that Oyo is now a mere state and has no autonomy over its affairs, he would say; When i founded Oyo Empire, i envisioned its greatness not its current state

If you tell Sango to bless a certain Chukwudi, a compatriot from Nigeria, he would ask; who the h*ll is that? And what the f**k is Nigeria? (fuming with fire gushing outta his mouth)

If you tell Moremi Ajasoro that Yoruba people are now readily called “cowards” by neighbouring ethnic group, she would say; I solely rescued Ile-Ife from its oppressors, why are my descendants letting me down this much?

If you tell Alaafin Aole that Yoruba people are now in partnership with Hausa-Fulani he would say; Olorun-maje!(he would snap his fingers over his head three times) saying; I committed suicide when Afonja partnered Sheik Alimi, i couldn’t live to see that.

If you tell Alaafin Abiodun that Oba of Oyo is now a mere undignified title he would say; I don’t like expensive jokes please, don’t ever repeat that!

If you tell Timi Olofa Ina that Yorubas are now being killed at will even in our land, he would say; I thought i passed on my gene

If you tell Kurunmi that Yoruba is unable to defend its territory from apparent threats from invaders he would say; During my days as Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, my cavalries were always on standby safeguarding the Yoruba territories, I don’t know what you lot do these days

If you tell Madam Tinubu that Eko (Lagos) is now being called “no man’s land” she would say; The last time i took a glance at Lagos, I was so close to tears. she would further say; where did you lot get your leniency from? during our days, we didn’t take crappy bulsh*t from no one

If you tell Herbert Macaulay that Yoruba’s political party is now in a merger with northern parties he would say; I founded the first political party in that country just to give Yoruba people a superior edge

If you tell Awolowo that Yoruba graduates can barely solve the simplest Bodmas equation despite his educational investments, he would ask; Really? Is Obasanjo still alive?

If you tell MKO Abiola that Bola Tinubu has returned Yoruba people to the Northern Emirates hegemony……… he would just begin to weep”
