Today, the world is riddled with complications and challenges, prompting the search for solutions and sparking agitation. Several social ideals have abnormally been undermined by the gradual change in conceptual holdings and the unfair aspirations of some over others, putting many of the underprivileged majority at a disadvantage.
More particularly, the instinct to preserve integrity and communal rights was the basis for the Yoruba resistance and agitation against other ethnic groups that undermined their dominance and sovereignty, as well as values core to Yoruba custom. They were never afraid to fight when needed and were always ready to speak out when necessary. The Yoruba’s activist spirit also manifested in their resistance to colonial conquests during the colonial era.
To maintain these spirits in the face of unpleasant situations, Yoruba culture instils these values in every individual, regardless of gender or age. This is why, at some points, agents of social change within Nigerian history have included women from both elite and low-influence groups that protested despicable situations. One notable example was the women’s protest against the colonial government’s imposition of unreasonable taxes on Egba women, led by Mrs Ransome Kuti.
I offer my congratulations to the Atanda family for keeping alive the memory of Professor Atanda; Professor Godwin Emmanuel Oyedokun, the Chair of the Conference Organising Committee and all his team members, the close to three hundred participants, and Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor of Lead City University.
