In our value system money is number six

What are the first five you may ask?

1. The first is làákà’yè - The application of knowledge, wisdom & understanding... (ogbón, ìmò ati òye)

2. The second is Ìwà Omolúàbí - (integrity) Someone with integrity is a man/woman of their words.

If you have all the wealth in the world but lack integrity, you are not worth a thing. Integrity is combined with iwa (character) which we regard as Omolúàbí.

3. The third is Akínkanjú or Akin - (Valour).

That is why Balóguns is second-in-command to the leaders in Yoruba land.

Balóguns are people that can lead them to war.

To lead with great courage in the face of danger, especially in battle.

Yoruba people have no respect for cowards.

4. The fourth is Anísélápá tí kìíse òle - (Having a visible means of livelihood).

A person must be identified with a visible means of livelihood that guarantees a lawful income or sustenance. His or her profession or job must be open and legally approved by society, and not through cheating or forcefulness.

5. The fifth is iyi - (Honour) Yoruba people place a premium on the gait with which individuals carry themselves and public reputation.

That is why Yorùbá people usually say when you set out to look for money and you meet honour on the way then you don't need the journey anymore, because if you get the money, you will still use it to buy honour.

6. The last in the Yorùbá value system is owó tàbí orò - (Money or wealth).

If putting money ahead of the other five, then you are nobody in Yoruba land of the olden days.

Newton2024:
Unfortunately, this is being pushed to the front burner nowadays due to the erosion of our value system. Drug lords, kleptomaniac politicians and money ritualists have destroyed our value system beyond remedy.

Above all, Yoruba l'agba.

Naijaboy18:

All due to the influence of the WEST.

WhiteNRed:
But they remain the most corupt in the Nigerian system.
Many may not agree with this, but that is the fact.
Check the administration and regimes of any organization when a Yoruba person is the head. That is when you will see the highest rot in that organization.

True, upholding respect, values, maintains the peace and sanity in southwest. A region that puts money above it's values will be destroyed. As capiitalist as America is, the law, and values is upheld higher than money still. Yorubas maintain your ways of respect, speaking truth and civilized nature, south west will continue to grow from glory to glory. I was really impressed how Yoruba elders came together and handled the ighoho issue, avoiding unecesary destruction and insecurity in the region.

T9ksy:



How exactly did the Yoruba elders handled the Igboho issue, that was so impressive to you? Was it by making series of attempts on his life which eventually culminated in him now in exile?

Being dumb you won't understand, dumb people don't understand discretion, and they are destroyed because of their foolishness. No one man is worth the peace of a state or people. Persons or people die to uphold the state not vice versa. If a man wants to throw a state into chaos, better to disown or kill the terrorist. Only fools will allow one human being lead them to hell. Kudos to yorubas, wise sound people.

leanonme82:


Dt guy is clearly dumb and has no wisdom. He is comparing us to a man dt allowed 3 million of his tribesmen to be killed senselessly.
In Yoruba mythology, the Aare Ona Kakanfo is expected to die a warrior in the defense of his nation in order to prove himself in the eyes of both the divine and the mortal as having been worthy of his title.

creativehubb:

Thank you, men, soldiers, kings die for their land and nation to thrive, the nation do not destroy itself because of one person or a group of people. That is an anomaly...it is foolish bigots that destroy themselves because of one terrorist.

leanonme82:


Better 1 man (figuratively speaking), than all men including innocent women and children.

Naijaboy18:

All due to the influence of the WEST.

OhuDealer:


Ohu rest.

Apt, 💯.
Revolutionaries and freedom fighters live a life of sacrifice for nation, they do not sacrifice the nation or state for their selfish sake.

igwebuike01:

The revolutionary is just a figurehead. The revolution is for your benefit as a common person. Over here people died during resistance against fulani, you claimed they died because of Kanu. Today they are the one enjoying cow free farms

creativehubb:

We hear of kidnapping and killings everyday, so it's okay if it's not herdsmen doing the killings, right?

From frying pan to fire.

Excuses for cowardice, No wonder Ilorin is gone forever

igwebuike01:

All data show SE as safest. Continue hearing from your useless propaganda machine

creativehubb:

We know history and we know brave empires, to have an Empire you must have brave warriors, when men were brave in the 18th century conquering towns, we didn't see your people there

We are in times of nationhood, with national armies, we don't fight like barbarians anymore, even if we want to, the police, army and state will restore order.

We know the Empire states and tribes in Nigeria, the brave ones who conquered others, stop capping kid. You are cowards.

igwebuike01:

Yorubas are comedians, we are still waiting for isese in Ilorin

igwebuike01:

We understood empire building ahead of you. Empires are not built with guns but with money. It's not built by Kings but by marchants. It's not restricted to your ancestral geographical territory to spread wordwide.
Yoruba never had any empire and never ruled over another tribe
