Rooted in our history. Guided by our mothers. Unapologetic about our future. We honour the strength of the obìnrin, not as an afterthought, but as builders of legacy, keepers of culture, and forces of change. A movement for the liberation, dignity, and power of Yoruba women. No erasure. No compromise on worth. Àwa ni obìnrin. Àwa l’a làṣẹ. #Obirinism

Yes. In 2026, journals, books, and papers from 2008 record events from 18 years earlier. They qualify as historical sources under the standard definition of history as the study of past human affairs based on evidence.

Fabricated? The comments were written on a blog by ibo people. The other blog was documented in 2005 where a man went to an ibo wedding and witnessed ibo women wearing Yoruba women’s Gele. The last source was a book written by an ibo scholar in 2008. How is it fabricated?

one in 2005, the other in 2008. They are deemed as historical documents, as they were documented over 20 years ago. These are 1st hand accounts of ibo people, not outsiders.

A large 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀-𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗱 [known as "𝗶𝘆𝘂̀𝗻" in Yorùbá language] dug up at Ìta-Ìdio, Ifẹ̀ on July 15th 1963 See: Frank Willett, "The Art of Ife," (2004), T842. 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝟮 shows my 'computational restoration' of this 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀-𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗱 (=𝗶𝘆𝘂̀𝗻) back to what it looked like when the finished product was freshly made 𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝗳𝗲̣̀ centuries ago. This restoration captures the unique "𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿-𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁" that made Ifẹ̀'s glass famous in West Africa; from Borno to Mauritania. ———— NB: The terracotta beaded-torso quoted below is noted (by Frank Willett) to still show some "𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁"; indicating that the woman captured in the artifact wore 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 & Ifẹ̀'s 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀. Cheers!!!

A torso fragment of a Yorùbá woman from Ilé-Ifẹ̀. This woman was captured in terracotta, ca.1200. ——— Frames 1 & 2: Willett, "The Art of Ife," 2004, T127. Frame 3: Yoruba bride of Ọ̀wọ̀ dressed in beaded attire derived ab-initio from this historic Ifẹ̀ attire. For context, Benin kingdom was founded c.1200. Cheers!!!
