Ojudu, rightI have pondered on this for a long time, and I must now give voice to it—before we are once again used and discarded, before we are called out, not to think, but to chant. In less than two years, another round of elections will arrive. And, like clockwork, those who sit in power—feeling threatened—will summon a familiar refrain: “Yoruba Ronu!” Think, Yoruba, think! But is it really about thinking? Or is it just another ploy to manipulate and distract?
