This is just so stupid. When have we started calling Police on those studying Arabic and Islamic studies? Like, do you call Police on those who go to Goethe-Institute to learn German? Do you call Police on those who go to Alliance Francais to learn French? Do you call Police on those who go to Confucius Institute to learn Chinese? And who told you when many finish from these institutions, that is the only thing they do? None of them goes to universities, or polytechnics or learns a trade? So, if anyone goes to Theology School, we should start calling Police on him. Like, what sort of Islamophobia is this that you make a video of people in a learning institution and ask "government" and Police to be wary.

When discussing Yoruba history with the ThinkYorubaFirst or Yoruba Nesan guys, one of the things I came across is the cognitive dissonance in being receptive of the fact that one's ancestors may have committed terrible acts. They accept that Oyo collected tributes from several towns. They accept that Oyo sacked towns that refused to bow to its will. They accept that Oyo sold people into slavery. What they don't accept is that, Oyo which did all these could at one point have persecuted its Muslims, even when Lander and co who were in Oyo in 1825/1826 reported they were told Muslim preaching (before the Afonja/Hausa revolt) increased to such a level, in Oyo that traditional worshippers caused the King to slaughter some of them. And several Muslims in Oyo were being sold into slavery, even when there was an initial standing order about Abaja tribal mark bearers to not be sold. Some have even dispelled the notion of a "Male Rebellion" in its entirety, even when it's a recognised Brazilian event. To these folks, Because Nigeria is accommodating, we must deliberately dispel the fact, that the same country once did "Ghana-Must-Go". There are several families of Oyo descent, now resident in Ilorin, who fled religious persecution, and yet some will seek to argue endlessly. The Yoruba Purists gleefully say they speak Oyo dialect of Yoruba, insist their Pamu-Pamu dance is from Yoruba, their Kengbe songs is derived from Oyo, but don't agree they were persecuted. Why bother to establish "Oke-Sunna" as a Muslim settlement, in the first place if they were so free during that decade. Anyways, the point is simple, all those who revolted had an axe to grind with Oyo. Afonja who had an axe to grind because he was sent on a suicide mission to Iwere-Ile. Persecuted Oyo Muslims, who were being killed and sold to slavery. Sabaruma Hausa slaves on whose backs Oyo's Calvary standing depended upon as they loved servile lives. Oyo provincial warriors who chose to seek independence away from Oyo and who stopped sending tribute. Ooo, Add up the Egbas before 1780,under Lisabi Agbongbo Akala. Add up the Baribas (Kaiama) in 1783. Add up the Nupes, in 1791. Add up the Dahomey (King Gezo) around 1823, that gained independence from Oyo and refused to send anymore tributaries. Here is a foreign take about the Male Rebellion of January 1835 (Ramadan Rebellion) led by Yoruba Muslim slaves. The Male Rebellion was not called "ANAGO" which would have implied every single Yoruba irrespective of religion. They were emphatic it had a religious character, and Brazilian Museums still hold the artifacts of those Muslim slaves.
