Almost all mainstream reconstructions of ancient Egyptian pharaohs completely miss the mark.
And no, Cleopatra wasn’t pharaoh. She was a Greek queen of a Roman protectorate.
The real Pharaohs ended 200 years before her. & they were Black.

Update! Update!! Update!!!
Yoruba people, Ẹdíra oo!
These forces are determined to undermine our identity, weaken our cultural heritage and erase our ancestral traditions. I urge all Isese adherents to remain vigilant, united and committed to protecting our indigenous spirituality.
We have been raising this alarm for a long time. Do not allow anyone to intimidate you into abandoning the spirituality of your ancestors. Once we lose our cultural identity and connection to our roots, preserving our heritage becomes even more difficult.
That is why we must be wise and understand the implications of narratives such as “Ẹ pa ìnọ́, Adébọ̀rẹ́.”
Yoruba people, wake up! We are neither Arabs nor Jews by ancestry. We must not allow imported religious ideologies to become instruments for erasing our indigenous identity, culture and traditions.
Yoruba people ,É ja ra yin ..

What I will say now is not going to be popular: Is it a big deal that #Nigeria has won the #U17WWC? Not really. No major football nation celebrates these titles, as African countries do.
Don’t get me wrong - winning is a good thing. But U17 and U20 tournaments are primarily about discovering talent for further development and building strong SENIOR national teams in the future. They are not about winning trophies. The bigger question is what will these players become in the next 5-10 years? Will they be in a better career or personal place?
Will the @NGSuper_Falcons become a team that can compete for a WWC title, as a result of Saturday’s win?
Nigeria has won many #U17WC titles and medals since 1985, in China. Has it turned the @NGSuperEagles into WC contenders, in the 41 years that have followed? Let’s think carefully and act seriously, if Nigerian football is to develop properly.
One more thing: rewards. Players under the age of 17 are CHILDREN. If they are given scholarships and maintenance grants for further education, that’s in order. Plus, (MAYBE), an immediate TOKEN cash gift.
If they are to be given any significant financial reward, it should be in the form of an investment that can only be used after the age of 21. Not before.
That’s me done. What do you think? 🤔🙂

This is impressive, i still wonder how this small boy could memorise this Ẹsè Ifá. For those that do not know, this ese Ifa belongs to the class of Ẹ̀wọ́-Ifá which are long esoteric words of IFA. You will see it has more than one Adífáfún....

Gyokeres gets a goal and assist against Slavia, then Havertz starts against Hull.
Arteta has his favourites. It's getting so obvious now.

James Carville makes the priority clear: not Medicare for All or DEI, but humiliating Donald Trump.
It was never about quality of life. It was never about affordability. It was always about revenge.
The strategy: “If it moves subpoena it.”
That won’t lower anyone’s grocery bill. But according to Carville, that isn’t the reward his base is looking for.

Fetterman was setting himself up to switch parties and play kingmaker, and now he’s the least important person in Washington, D.C.

As a Yoruba graduate, going to Anambra and other SE states to serve in 2026 is a dumb idea.
Stay in SW and compete for available jobs right from the get-go.

Ibori handed over a criminal enterprise to Uduaghan and that one continued from the disgraceful Ibori government and handed over to Okowa who ensured that every available state resources are stolen and used to support Atiku's dead ambition. He went on to hand over to Sheriff the most confused human to govern a state.
The only thing the people of Delta state can remember their governors for since 1999 is stealing of their resources. No plan. No agenda to achieve sustainable development.
The people of Delta state are more worried about what happens in Lagos state with a clear implentable master plan.

The way Rufai will interview a guest if they were in the LP or NDC, isn't the same way he will interview the same guest if they were in the APC, PDP, or ADC.
His aggressive interviews are tαrgeted. He doesn't know how to carry himself as a journalist.

OBASANJO SPEAKS TO THE MINDSET OF YORUBAS
OBASANJO: Taking your culture seriously, if anybody says your identity, does not matter, then he wants to enslave you.
why is it important? Because our culture, our tradition, they all embrace the totality of our way of life. They include our language, our food, our dress, our greetings, our all that. And therefore, they actually determine who we are.
It is what differentiates us from other people. It is what determines who we are. Once who we are is extinguished or destroyed, then we are nobody. And you know, that’s the way to enslave any group of people, just obliterate their identity.
That’s why you have people who originally came from Nigeria, from Yorubaland, now they are Mr. Stone in America. Their identity have been destroyed through slavery.”

In Geopolitics, this is called soft power.
This is the power Yoruba civilisation have given Nigeria, West Africa and Africa in order to influence the world.
Before Chinese technology permeated Africa, Jet Lee, Jackie chan and Bruce Lee already won the souls of millions.
Before American power became omnipresent, Commando and James Bond already won hearts and souls of millions.
Yoruba civilisation is the soul of Africa, a soft power second to none!
