Omo Oba of the Source , nice pictures. Egbon mi, e lucky o. Na only you dey waka up and down for festival? I wish I was that lucky. I'm not impressed with the environment at all..... why does the SW give me an eyesore? Isn't it about time that the ancient region modernize? Must we set up rules and laws before we start seeing nice looking buildings? See as the dirty walls, dusty roads and brown roof just spoil the whole thing for me. Who go come here for tourism? PS: Is that you in your profile? Handsome dude #YorubaBoys for days. Iya mi, the waka no be am o but as omo ile olorisa, it has to be done. What you're seeing is Ife interior. Where students call 'indigene area' LOL. Outside o mf this place, there are really 'mad' areas in Ife - Parakin, Aba Iya Gani, Fajuti, Ede Road and so on. Moore, Ilare, Ilode, Igbo Itapa, Iloro and co are idigene settlements and old houses are purposely retained in these locations. Lol! Yes, that is 'I'. I thought, since I'm with family here, we need not hide. At least I do not have any reason to hide behind a random avatar.

Omo Oba of the Source Lovely and pure live pics. Typical Yoruba setting and background. I love this, mehn! You too much, baba! In which state did the festival hold? Ẹjẹ ki a tẹ siwaju l'ati ma gbe aṣa ati ede wa l'arugẹ! Thank you bro, there are much more photos. I'll upload them when I get the chance to move them to my PC. It happened in Osun state, Ife to be precise.

Besides, Madam "Posh", don't you think some of the dirty walls and brown roofs should be preserved as monuments? They remind us of our past, you know. . It's like saying you want to destroy the church of the Nativity just 'cos it's archaic. If you want to see beautiful houses and well tarred roads, you'll find them in Lekki, Victoria Island and Ikoyi. These places are still part of SW.

A le nu gan!It is a fact, Osun state is the hub of Yoruba culture but we're paying for it in terms of education - the average Osun child born and bred in Osun is a much more of a walking barrel of charms, incatations and the likes but it is education though not just 'western'.

There's something seriously wrong with us Yorubas. If na ritual and gods festivals, na we do am pass. But when it comes to fighting to make our language a required criteria in our region, we cower to the foolish #oneNigeria nonsense. I still see some Yoruba ediots on social media fighting for #NonYorubas, while the other tribes won't even blink an eye to fight for us or our people. Until Yoruba becomes a required credential in our curriculum, I'm unwilling to take " tradition still supreme" serious. As for the fake boogie Yoruba folks forcing English on their children at home (in Nigeria) and not letting them speak Yoruba, your kids still have Yoruba accents. So stop assuming that by doing what you're doing, they'll have more opportunities. They don't. They still sound like normal folks that speak Yoruba. How can we make the language a required criterion when there are millions of Non-Yorubas living with us in the South-west? Can you please, expatiate on that, Madam Ileke? Yoruba is already in our educational curriculum. I had a B3 in Yoruba language in my O'levels . Even the Ajepakos now enforce English-speaking on their kids. SMBH. I go just dey laff when I see them. But I think Yorubas still dey try when compared to other tribes. Also, with respect to names-giving, I think Yorubas are still repping. Most Yorubas I know, even the lil' kids, all have Yoruba first names. Ileke, what Yoruba name do you have in mind for yOUR first child?

Let's be honest, our indigene settlements can be cleaned up a bit to look presentable to potential tourists. No you don't need to hide that handsome face of yours jare Looks like you're older than me o. No dey call me "yeye osoronga" anymore lol.

Who cares about the millions of Non-Yorubas living within our midst? When they first came, they adjusted and assimilated within our culture. When you go to Rome, you behave like Romans. If dem like like am, dem for pack to Abuja. See what I mean? The #OneNigeria is is messing us up. @bolded, I think it's currently an option, not a requirement. We want it as a requirement. Imagine how una dey trade our native language for French. French of all languages. Ah o ma se o. Just B3? I scored A1.......Now you know your oga lmao @ red. No comment. But why are we giving our kids Muslim names? Christians Yorubas, go Yoruba names that alludes to their religion. But Muslim Yorubas go use "aishat", "shakirat" "mooshirat". Ki ni gbogbo iyen? Lol @ "yOUR". You no dey tire? No wahala. I don't count my eggs before they hatch. IF I end up having a child, he/she is gonna have a Yoruba name.

A village doesn't have to look that dirty. Have you been to Ekiti? The posh title goes to Mr. Peckham. We've talked about this nau. lol We need a Lekki/Ikoyi/VI in every Yoruba state.

'Mad areas' is a Naija parlance for high end neighbourhood or serious ghetto depending on what context it is being used. By cleaned up, you mean what exactly? The roads or ancient structures of mud? Evey Yoruba town has high end areas where sons/daughters of the town go back to erect structures. These mud houses or indigene settlements are left mostly for history/reference purposes. At least as rich as the Oonis can get, their ancestral compounds are like these too, untouched.

Look I've driven through the SW, from Lagos to Ekiti as early as 2014. Unless you're telling me that the whole SW has been left for historical purposes, the face of the region needs to be redone. Driving through Ibadan made the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina look like a carnival. For my sanity, I've chosen to stay away from any thread that'd expose me to how retrogressive the SW has become. Even the overhyped Ikoyi/VI (best looking locations in Nigeria) look like a low-class American city. Been pessimistic about the SW for the past few months. I'm like mentally tired. Lol if I should voice my opinion, una go hate me for here. *back to my Health/Fashion section*

You've said it all. Despite the fact that you live in USA, you can write in Yoruba and Ekiti dialect. Thumb up for you. Yoruba parents need to stop forcing their children to speak english instead of Yoruba as first language. I also noticed, for the first time, you called Elu "Egbon" when you saw his supposed pics. Lolssss. Eluu na Baba Agba oooooo. And our brown roof, e don tire me too jarey. Brown roof everywhere. We'll have to demolish those buildings to eradicate brown roof in SW. New buildings are being built with aluminium roof or stone-coated stepped tiles.

Hahahahahahaah Ileke, you need to visit Mokuro, Bankemo, Parakin, Aba Iya Gani, Eleyele, Road 7, Ede Road, Igboya etc to see for yourselves. There are lot of beautiful structures at Ife. We also have Igbo Itapa, Arubidi etc. Now you know Elu is a GrandPa lols. No more "Aburo Mi Bawo Ni" lols.
