Topic: “Yoruba Women in History” – Prof Bolanle Awe (Guest Lecturer)
11 comments on “Yoruba Historical Conversations (Part 1 of 4)”
The programme should have been done in Yoruba not English since it is called "Yoruba Historical Conversations". There should have been more awareness of the programme all over West Africa so that people could be in attendance. Yoruba people are not just in Nigeria but in West Africa so the programme should not be limited to only South West of Nigeria. What about other States in the Northern part of Nigeria, Kwara, Kogi, Some parts of Benue, Niger, some parts of Kaduna, some part of Zamfara, some part of Nasarawa which were the old Oyo Empire before the Fulani Jihad of 1800? Please create more awareness so that you can get a lot of historical resources to develop the programme. Professor Bolanle Awe is a very dynamic and resourceful woman.
This indeed is a laudable programs which I believed should be a very massive initiative which every Yoruba speaking nation should participate fully so as to understand their roots. I would personally want to thank the DAWN COMMISSION for this well overdue program………
Mama, used to come to my mom's shop at Mokola market to buy foodstuffs when she was a commissioner . She is educated , kind, beautiful and highly intelligent . Mama seeing you in those days gave me a lifeline to achieve great things in life.. First Nigerian safety officer in the Far East. E ma pe fun wa ma.
All Speakers were well loaded and discharged but time and situation couldn't give way to its fullest. The little heard and grasped within the shortest time was enormous. Thank God for his life and unrivalled legacy left behind. In my submission, Education is power, it is knowledge, it edges one out from mediocrity to a gallant stride as leading and serving would be easier and better. How I wish all African States, Nations, Communities should borrow a leaf from it and move up. Thanks so much for your contributions and the Moderator too, Prof Adesina of the University of Ibadan. God bless you all.
Im so stressed to anyone that wants to here this… I wish Yorubas would be come scholarly in their own tradition, with their own writings, their own history and oral history. As a Nigerian born and living in America, i feel so disconnected since my parents decided not to teach me about history willingly. I live in the Midwest. If NIDO in the U.S. can outreach to people like me and educated me with one true candid history, not just the appealing stuff, but the brutal and treacherous histories too, I would do more for the culture and I feel that it would have an impact on how the yoruba tribe/race could develop. Otherwise I would rather go my own seperate way and detach from any Yoruba community. What is the point of being a people if there are lies and hidden secrets within the community.

Poor video quality. DAWN commission is badly led. The event itself is incompetently handled.
