Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, has attributed the lack of progress within the Yoruba race to the failure to honor deities and celebrate ancestors.Adams expressed this view on Tuesday during the 2024 edition of the Ogun Festival held at Ikorodu Town Hall, Lagos.
The Yoruba generalissimo called on Yoruba monarchs to align with the cultural promotion agenda of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC). He reaffirmed that the organization, under his leadership, remains dedicated to restoring the Yoruba race’s pride of place among the global community.
“In Yorubaland, we have lost our pride of place because of our failure to honor and identify with our deities and ancestors,” Adams said.
“We cannot make meaningful progress as a race if we continue to disrespect the sanctity of our traditional religious beliefs while using foreign religions to denigrate our culture and tradition.https://www.vanguardngr.com/2024/12/why-weve-not-been-making-progress-as-a-race-gani-adams/
