Islam and Yoruba Culture: Where We Draw The Line Over the past two days, my timeline has been filled with all sorts of vituperation from self-styled "Yoruba Nationalists." To them, there is no place for people like me in Yoruba land because I openly speak against certain cultural practices. They claim that to be fully Yoruba, you must swallow everything whole without questioning it. I find that deeply appalling, and it is exactly why I want to make this categorical statement. First of all, I am a fully blooded Yoruba man. My Parents are fully blooded Yoruba. I was born in Isolo, Lagos, and I spent over 25 years of my life living, learning, and building in the South West. If there were physical stakes for being a Yoruba, my stakes would be incredibly high. None of you holds a greater monopoly on our heritage than I do, so you can keep your tribal gatekeeping to yourselves. Beyond my ethnicity, I am a Muslim. I identify with Islam completely because I believe, with absolute certainty, that it is the only path to eternal salvation. Having said this, let me clear up a massive misconception: Islam does not come to wipe out a people’s identity. It never has. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) arrived in Arabia, he did not systematically destroy the existing culture. He met a people with deep traditions in poetry, hospitality, trade, and respect for kinship. Instead of erasing those customs, Islam embraced, refined, and validated them. The Prophet famously affirmed good cultural values, saying he was only sent to perfect good character. Our beautiful Yoruba values (e.g: the respect we accord elders, our communal solidarity, our rich attire, and our industrious spirit) are entirely aligned with the spirit of Islam. Islam leaves room for culture to breathe, thrive, and beautify our lives. But as Muslims, this is exactly where we draw the unyielding line: Aqeedah (Faith and Monotheism). Culture is beautiful until it attempts to compete with the sovereignty of Allah. A custom is acceptable for a Muslim up until the exact moment it crosses into Shirk (associating partners with God), or requires us to validate traditional incantations, ancestral covenants, and pagan rituals. You cannot claim to submit to the Creator of the universe on Friday, and then celebrate Egun, Eyo or the invocation of Ayajo or traditional spells on Saturday under the guise of "cultural pride." When a cultural practice directly violates the clear commands of Allah and His Messenger, that culture steps down, and our faith steps up. My identity as a Yoruba man is an accident of birth; it is a geographical reality. But my identity as a Muslim is a conscious choice of submission that dictates my eternal destiny. I will continue to love my language, my people, and the noble virtues of our heritage. But I will never compromise my Aqeedah (creed) to appease a tribal sentiment. If standing firmly for the oneness of Allah makes me a rebel in your eyes, then so be it. My loyalty belongs to my Lord first, and everything else comes a distant second. Allah knows best.

Apart from me, was there anyone that admonished Lateef against prostrating?. Out of mischief, you want to make this about Ilorin Muslims when in fact, some Muslims attacked me for the tweet below attached. When I said it, I didn't make any exception or what part of 'any human' do you not understand? Do you know how many times this has been condemned amongst Muslims? Two of the most highly revered preachers in the history of Ilorin and scholars of their time, Shaykh Kamaluddeen Al-Adabiy and Shaykh Adam Abdullahi Al-Iloriy talked about this. Al-Adabiy most especially gave a verdict on it. In this same space, I made a similar comment on an Emir in Arewa whom people bow too as though they're making sajadah. You also maliciously claim we called it shirk. Kindly show me where in the tweet attached below I said so. You want to show some people's 'double standard' but the only way to do that is to make up lies? FYI, doing it to show respect in and of itself is a sin. It becomes shirk when worship is intended. The fact that someone highly respected does it does not change the fact that it's still unlawful. Some of these people you see that do it know this too, they are just overcome by social pressure, whims and perhaps love for validation. It is amusing how the minds of Yoruba firsters work. An e-diot wanted to badly gotcha me with this.

You are the one with the lazy line of thought here. You're being held based on your claim, the Isese adherents have always claimed to have supernatural powers which can be invoked at will, this is a great opportunity to wield such powers and win tremendous converts. Abrahamic religions most especially Islam never have such claims, the islamic claims is to follow the path of struggles against evil and pray for Allah's support for triumph.

When the noise goes down, remember there is no special status for being Yoruba or being any other tribe in the afterlife. But there is for being a Muslim. You cannot stop being Yoruba if you already are, but you may end up being non-muslim, if eternal punishment is your portion—may Allah save me and you from this. The real blessing for all mankind is Islam. PS: it is fine not to agree, I understand.

One of the folktales of Yoruba is that your father, Oduduwa migrated to Nigeria from Makkah. Interestingly, there was never a time in history before people migrated to the KSA in droves, when Yoruba was spoken in Saudi Arabia. The language of Saudi Arabia is Arabic. You either can tell me that the origin of Yoruba is a myth or the Yorubas adopted a foreign language in place of the original language of their father and now worship their gods with the same foreign language. By your kindergarten logic, Arabs owned your father too. Jokes on you.

Let a woman do gelede or lead oro then let’s talk about rights.

As I formally declare my intention to seek re-election to continue serving the good people of Oshodi-Isolo Federal Constituency II in 2027, I want to make one thing very clear: leadership must be built on competence, capacity, and results, not ethnicity. Too often, election conversations are reduced to questions of “whose turn it is.” But the more important question should always be: who can truly deliver for the people? Since assuming office, my focus has remained on purposeful representation, people-centered policies, and sustainable development across every part of our constituency. Through legislative interventions, motions, constituency projects, scholarships, empowerment initiatives, human capital development, and skills acquisition programmes, I have worked tirelessly to ensure that no ward is left behind and no community is ignored. From road rehabilitation projects to classroom construction, boreholes, transformer installations, youth empowerment programmes, and educational support initiatives, my commitment has always been to serve every resident of Oshodi-Isolo Constituency II regardless of background, tribe, or affiliation. Governance should never be about division. Development does not recognize ethnicity, and neither should quality representation. As I seek another opportunity to serve, my focus remains clear: - Expanding economic opportunities for our youths and SMEs - Increasing access to education, digital skills, and ICT training - Driving completion of critical infrastructure projects - Maintaining an open, inclusive, and accessible constituency office I believe representation should be measured by impact, accessibility, and results. I will continue to stand on my record and allow my work to speak for itself. I remain committed to issue-based politics, inclusive governance, and the continued progress of our constituency.

One of the more revealing crises in Nigeria is not merely political instability, but the collapse of critical comprehension and intellectual culture. The reaction to my comments on the Biafra question, including the deliberate distortion, selective interpretation, and emotionally charged misreading, demonstrates how fragile public discourse has become. Too many people no longer engage ideas analytically; they approach discourse tribally, emotionally, and defensively, often substituting outrage for comprehension. The result is a political culture where coercion, mob intimidation, and performative hostility are deployed to silence nuance and flatten intellectual independence. That culture does not intimidate me. It merely confirms the urgency of rebuilding Nigeria’s educational and civic foundations. I am an academic. A social scientist. I reserve the right to interrogate national questions, including Biafra, identity, nationalism, memory, federalism, and belonging. And yes, I am equally entitled to engage those issues through the lens of my lived experience as an Igbo woman within the Nigerian federation. That is not extremism; it is citizenship, scholarship, and democratic participation. A society that cannot tolerate intellectual plurality without descending into hysteria is confronting a far deeper problem than disagreement.

Some people claim they did so well in Ebonyi but no stable light in Afikpo fo over 20 yrs Is that governance

My own is that they should not turn this Tunde Global Brand to a Yoruba Brand. He should not let it happen. That's what happened to Ogbeni Dipo. The guy was a professional development brand for the globe on this App until you guys forced him to become something else today. It now looks like only Yoruba people patronize him. I remember when they listed him as a speaker with Seyi Law in one Yoruba thing. There's nothing bad with that, but make una no do that nonsense to Tunde. I pray he doesn't fall into that trap. Make una leave that guy. Once he starts defending himself or tweeting that he's dragged because he's Yoruba, that's how Dipo went. You people should leave that guy alone.

Some black dude turned up to a public museum dressed like a retard and played chess against himself and other blacks are congratulating him in the comments
