Our Elders talk about the insolent child who stands afar to point with the left hand at his father’s house as he describes it to the people who accompanied him.
They say he is a FOOL and most assuredly a bastard otherwise he should have learnt from his fathers that it was very wrong.
All the updates and feedbacks I got on this character called Mayegun suggest that he is another small-minded man of little brains, vanity-possessed and a butterfly who thinks itself a bird.
So he lives in Scotland with an European wife, his existence and survival balanced on followrship and traffic on monetized social media channels typically Youtube a scheme
which is essentially boosted for him by the IGBOS.
It can’t be a coincidence that his colleague, the analogue lawyer called Dele Farotimi is also contending via YouTube on social media where the majority of his ardent followers and sponsors will be igbos. He also has set up a studio. It has to be about the money.
It’s the same way you have men like Debo Adedayo aka Mr. Macaroni, skit makers, musicians and other artists whose livelihood is delicately balanced on social media followrship traffic, all of them worshiping at the feet of the Igbo Zionists who have some how managed to use sheer weight of population to overwhelm the internet spaces.
These Zionist guys can make and destroy you within hours unless they don’t know the source of your livelihood and if it doesn’t require their inputs somehow.
Do you know that when as a YORUBA MAN, you do, say or act anything in anyway that attracts the commendations of this mass of rascally IGBO ZIONISTS population you have just been a GREAT FOOL????
You are a FOOL, just being USED and will be DUMPED like a rag doll along the way.
I tell you this without fear of contradiction.
Now let’s take the words of Mayegun in this particular video.
In one breathe he posed as a defender of the the Yoruba customs and in the next breathe he completely desecrates the same institution, dragging our customs in the mud, talking down on adherents of our Òrìsàs and literally tagging the entire Yoruba race as being stupid.
He associated Islam with Jihad, Christainity with fanatism, both of them contending to influence politics, then suddenly he said “our traditions shouldnt have anything to do with politics just as you know that religion shouldn’t have anything to do…but they have weaponized all of that “
For me, the sad irony you see in men like Mayegun and Dele Farotimi is that when they set up to act the Ọmọ Alè in their lives they will come out all fully decked in the image of Yoruba.
I stumbled on a video this morning, Dele Farotimi was in his own studios cooking up his own version of stories, meals for the delight of his Zionists sponsors. He started by saying that he was born in IJEBU-ODE of a father who was from ÌMÈSÍ ILÉ and mother from FÌDÍTÌ
He was presenting to you the image of Omolúàbí as his credentials to speak into your hearts, you Yoruba people. A man without INTEGRITY, whose words count for NOTHING, who has BROKEN HIS OWN WORDS severally, trying to lay claim to Omolúàbí. I couldn’t bear him after that introduction There was no need to listen to him. The foundation was already fraudulent, no need to bother checking the structures he was going to build on it.
In Mayegun’s case he took his time to wear Aso-Oke complete with Ilẹ̀kè to send the impression of legitimate Yoruba son who is well-grounded in our history and customs.
Whereas and quite apparently he is just an ignorant fool.
And these men and others like them can’t be left alone to run with his stupid notions lest they mislead our Innocent and impressionable children who we hardly have time to teach the true versions of our history, culture, customs and traditions.
We can’t allow Mayegun run with this idiotic activities of bending our story.
Our Elders say when you look on and allow the mad man do with his mother’s corpse as it pleases him, he is liable to roasting her for dinner.
You must rescue the poor old woman’s corpse from him and give her a decent burial befitting of humans.
I will therefore attend to Mayegun.
Can somebody help me tell Mayegun to educate his diseased mind.
- CULTURE which is called ÀSÀ in Yoruba is a WAY of life of a people. Example is Fashion, Partying, Music etc.
It is dynamic. A people can decide to upgrade, remove or do anything they feel will make it generally good or better for them.
2..CUSTOM is called ÌSE in Yoruba. It is the totality of who we are, the very system which runs our life as a RACE of people. It is like a collection of supremely unchangeable codes which regulates the affairs of a people for smooth running.
Examples are Obaship, Òrìsàs, ìtẹfá, Sacred Cults, Naming, Burial, Marriage rites etc.
They are immutable. They have been, should NEVER be touched and must continue to be, unless, as it has turned out for us, we desire to become a troubled people.
Everything is detailed in the IFÁ CORPUS
- It is from culture (ÀSÀ ) and customs ( ÌSE ) that the word ÌSÈSE was derived along the time.
ÌSÈSE will therefore be defined as our way of life in relation and according to guidance by the set rules of our ancestors.
- TRADITION is basically a system or mode of transmitting our culture and customs through generations. Example of tradition is the various festivals we have in Yoruba land, e.g Osun Òsogbo, Ọdún Ifá, Odun Egun, Odun Ìlú are traditions aimed at transferring knowledge from generations to generations.
When you go to Osun Òsogbo Festival for example, each man who is an adherent of Osun goes with his children. In the course of the Festival the children are SHOWN a lot of things and they learn. That is how the father and mother learnt it from their own parents and it has been so thorough generations.
Ojude Oba is a tradition. It is a channel which allows for the transmission of our culture and customs that is why it has been same way for over 100years.
- But Mayegun apparently doesn’t know the difference between these things and so he carelessly and very irresponsibly muddled up things up in his confusion.
For example, he said ” I participated in our culture, in our tradition and in our religion in such a way ….”
Which culture? How do you participate in culture? You are BORN into a culture.and will be raised in it all your formative years and for as long as you stay inside the environment of THAT culture.
Which religion? Do the Yoruba people have a religion in the true sense and definition of the word? Our ancestors didn’t do religion but spirituality which is built by religious PRACTICES.
- Then he brought ORÒ into the fray.
What is ORÒ?
It is an aspect of our CUSTOMS.
The primary duty of the Orò cult is to ENFORCE CURFEW for various reasons as determined by the rulers of the land.
The cult is made up of ONLY men for some reasons amongst which must be the simple need of ensuring total purification which may be tampered by menstruating women, a physiological condition outside even their own control.
You activate the ORÒ CULT to enforce curfew when you need to cleanse the land and for which you need clarity of space and prevention of prying eyes.
It is our CUSTOM.
The other day at the Coronation of King Charles III he had to be covered away from view so certain things could be done.
You also activate ORÒ CULT in times of great danger and threat to a community in which case the men have to come out and have adequate space.
In this particular case in reference, the IGBO ZIONISTS have indicated an evil desire which they consistently pursue to OVER RUN YORUBA LAND by the instrumentality of POLITICAL CONTROL which they aim at.
The same people have used the instrumentality of DRUG FUNDS to run our Yoruba people out of their various trades and livelihood.
In other lands, particularly in Igbo and Hausa-Fulani spaces, it could easily have met with violent resistance.
In the reasonable Yoruba land of Lagos the people only demanded their FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS TO ELECT THEIR OWN LEADERS AND DETERMINE THEIR OWN DESTINIES, things the IGBOS have tenaciously determined to challenge even while living on their ancestral Awori, Ijebu, Ẹgba and Ègùn lands.
These are GREAT EXISTENTIAL THREATS which needed to be stopped.
The people rose to DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS and they were ready to fight for it.
ORÒ CULT will normally be the first call amongst others, to clear the way so all men can see themselves clearly in the battle field.
Mayegun’s in his stupidity expected the Yoruba people to have folded their hands, looked on so today Peter Obi and Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour who couldn’t speak Yoruba will be telling us where we can put our feet in the land of Lagos.
In his myopia and selective amnesia he forgot that in Anambra State and the whole South-East, it took ONLY a single man, Nnamdi Kanu to SHUT DOWN the whole region, 52 MONDAYS OF THE YEAR such that men could hardly dare to come get fresh air from outside their bedroom doors.
Men like him were seen hailing Giringory Obi as he went from churches to churches mobilizing Christian votes to win elections in Lagos.
You watched the same Obi as he was going about exercising his Harvard MBA Market-to-Market degree around all the Igbo Garrison networks called markets in Lagos.
You failed to see all of that.
But Mayegun foolishly thinks ORÒ CULT is a religion which can’t partake in the political process to safeguard their lands, people and interest.
