IRU EKUN: WHY ARE THE YORUBA PEOPLE STILL SLEEPING?

IRU EKUN: WHY ARE THE YORUBA PEOPLE STILL SLEEPING? Jìjì nimú jí… A wake-up call has become necessary. In this powerful and thought-provoking Yoruba commentary, Biodun Olawuyi takes a deep look at some of the issues confronting the Yoruba people today—our unity, security, leadership, internal divisions, jealousy, distrust, political differences, cultural values, and our responsibility to one another. At a time when ijinigbé, insecurity, division and internal conflicts continue to raise serious concerns, one question must be asked: Are we truly listening to one another? Why do we struggle to stand together when the challenges affecting us are greater than our individual differences? This is not simply an attack on anyone. It is a call for reflection. A call to remember who we are. A call to learn from the wisdom of our elders. A call to look beyond political differences. A call to protect our heritage. A call to think deeply about the future of the Yoruba people. As our elders say: “Gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ ló lè sí, ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ kò làá fèsì sí.” Not every matter demands a response—but every word carries consequences. Watch this video to the end and tell me what you think. Are the Yoruba people sleeping? Or are we simply facing problems that require a different kind of awakening? 👇 Drop your honest opinion in the comment section.
