FEATURE: Yoruba Nation

The Yoruba people, also known historically as the Omoluàbí , form a distinct nation with 26 Tribes and shared ancestry and with deep historical and cultural roots traced back to Ile-Ife, the ancestral home of the Yoruba civilization.    Despite recent claims by some subgroups denying their Yoruba identity, historical and genealogical records confirm that they remain Yoruba by ancestry. Their origins, traditions, and cultural practices all point to a shared lineage that cannot be erased by modern political or social narratives.    The Yoruba nation consists of 26 distinct tribes, each contributing to the rich tapestry of Yoruba heritage: Yoruba-Ife Yoruba-Oyo Yoruba-Igbomina Yoruba-Ekiti Yoruba-Owé Yoruba-Òwòrò Yoruba-Akoko Yoruba-Ijesa Yoruba-Owo Yoruba-...

HISTORY:Ghana Must Go

Image
 By Victor Olubiye         History should not be used as a weapon of revenge but rather as a means to prevent future mistakes.    If you grew up in Ghana, Nigeria, or another West African nation, you've probably heard of the "Ghana Must Go" bag, commonly used by travelers for packing their belongings. You might wonder why it’s named "Ghana Must Go" instead of something else. This name stems from historical events that occurred back then.    In 1983, during President Shehu Shagari's democratic administration, the Nigerian government initiated a mass deportation of illegal immigrants, mainly targeting Ghanaians who moved to Nigeria seeking better opportunities during Nigeria's oil boom, while Ghana faced significant economic struggles. This expulsion, affecting over 2 million people, didn’t happen overnight, and I'll provide more context on what led to it.    Nigeria and Ghana had a long-standing friendship, but this relationship...
