The 138th Year in the Era of Oríburúkú
138 years ago, the Berlin Conference destroyed Africa. Our language became a vernacular, and our people were separated from their brothers and sisters across alien borders.

Euroasian borders are changing even till now.
Here is illustration of borders dynamism from 1100s to 2012, African borders stopped changing after 1885 except for few from ⚔️. Sovereign Yorùbá Country addresses this.
At the Berlin conference in 1884, states that were supposed to be together were forcefully disintegrated, and states that were supposed to be disintegrated were forcefully united. Africa's political structure is nothing more than a European business plan, and it will remain so.
The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 |NB:The video is only for education purpose. What we have are European countries In Africa not African countries.. While the gatekeepers of Europeans will fight tooth and nail to preserve the borders made by this.

YORÙBÁ communities in Delta North called OLÙKUMI.

-Ugbodu was founded as UGBODUMILA.

-Ukwu Nzu was founded as Eko-Efun due to the presence of abundant kaolin or native chalk there. ImageImage
They are said to the the oldest people in Delta North and their Igbo speaking Neighbours call them ODIANI which in Igbo language means the "ANCIENT PEOPLE" and you know what it means for your neighbours to call you ancient people.
Geographical they share common boundary with Esan (Ishan) people to their North, to the south they share common boundary with the Ezechime clans and to their east is the River Niger.

Yorùbá Drums and Sound Energy as means of Ancestral communication.

Written by @blockofbuilder for @ThinkYoruba_1st
Music has always been viewed as entertainment, a feel good mood.

uplifting beat that can transform your emotions from sad to happy and vice versa. At times,it’s just a noise when the beat is out of rhythm. So we can all agree that music definitely have something special, something unique, something that transcends just purely entertainment. Image
In the Yorùbá world there are specific drums for specific Orisa veneration. The drums are percussion with different techniques to produce different tunes. It’s a skill that is often transferred from generations to generations.

Àsàkẹ́: The Lyrics, The Culture, The Renaissance and Yorùbá.

A MUST READ: 🔥💯💥

A THREAD 🔥
A quick listen to Àsàkẹ́’s music will captivate you and transport you to the climax of entertainment from the beginning to the end of each track. While his music is a fusion of Afro beat, Fuji music, Rap and pop culture, the epitome of Àsàkẹ́’s melody is deeply rooted in the
enigma of his lyrics. His ability to wound complex messages into a 3 minutes track is not easily deciphered by the novice.
Perhaps Àsàkẹ́’s Organize track is one of the best visual albums of recent. While the track is a pop culture darling, very few will agree that the album was Image

"HISTORY of the term "No Man's Land" tag on LAGOS".

A THREAD from the excerpt below 👇

At the same I953 conference, Nigerian delegates again became painfully aware of the
serious political differences which tended to mar the evolution of harmony between various sections. The controversy over Lagos, Nigeria's capital and leading commercial centre, caused more bitterness in I953 than it had in 1950. During the 1950 and 1953 conferences which
discussed this issue, delegates from the Eastern Region made it clear that they regarded Lagos as a 'no-man's land'.
The Western delegates, however, regarded Lagos as a Yorùbá town which they wanted to administer on their own terms. During the 1950 General Conference, the

YORÙBÁ cultural centre commissioned in the historical YORÙBÁ state of LAGOS ( Eko-Aromi).
Note: Urbanization must show Footprint of the civilization of the people, Goto china, Japan, Russia 🪆, India etc, their urbanization showcase who they are, Infact, we have Gothic, Islamic
, Indian, Chinese, japanese even Russian architectural styles, urbanization isn't westernization and Yorùbáland must do better to showcase Yorùbá civilization in our urbanization, lest our land is called "No man's land", our urbanization must be Yorubanized even in the face of
Cosmopolitanism.
Ilé-Ifè should attain Pilgrimage status as well as it is in the classical period of Yorùbá history, Ilé-Ifè used to be holy city which attracted pilgrims from Yorùbá and non Yorùbá world.
