There is need to reorientate the youths on the significance of culture and preservation of ancestral tradition to our existence regardless of our faith.
Honorable Prince Samuel Adesegun Egunjobi has raised alarm on the dwindling participation of youths during cultural and traditional festival in Southwest Nigeria. Many of them are justifying their reasons for not involving in cultural festival on their faith and religious affiliation.
Religion is a system of beliefs that is designed to link a man to the heavens as a medium of spirituality. But culture is a collective identity that distinguished a group of people from another, and shape their behaviours, characters, values and way of life.
Despite the widespread acceptance of religion and foreign culture into our society, we've witnessed high tense morale decadence and behaviours that are alien to our society.
Our mistake was that we accepted religion and the culture of the owner of such religion, not knowing that culture and tradition were interwoven in these religions designed to suppressed the culture and tradition of such society.
The acceptance of Yoruba culture, tradition and spiritual system in the Brazil, Haiti, Cuba, Americans and other part of the Carribeans is an eye opener and urgent call to address gradual extinction of the African culture and tradition in the motherland.
Honorable Egunjobi Samuel Adesegun addressed the youths standing by the roadside during the Annual Ekusi Owo Egungun Festival 2025 to sustain the legacy of their various families and need to respect not only political authorities but also traditional authorities.
