A powerful statement aimed at promoting peace and understanding has gone viral on social media platforms. A Twitter user, known by the handle @RayoKasali, called on individuals in the Yoruba community to remain calm and respectful towards one another, urging that those who seek to create tension and conflict should instead adopt a peaceful and silent stance.
The message, which resonated deeply with many, was also reposted by popular Nigerian artist Shola Allyson on her own Twitter handle, spreading the call for peace even further. In her repost, Allyson emphasized the importance of calmness and harmony in our interactions, particularly in challenging times when misunderstandings and differences often arise.
“Eleda rinu yin, O si maa san esan rere fun yin. Awa t’orin yin n bukun emi wa naa sin finu sure fun yin” – This profound Yoruba phrase, which translates to “The Creator will bless you, and He will repay your kindness with goodness. Our voices are blessing you, and we are sending our prayers for you” – serves as a powerful reminder of the power of unity and goodwill.
In a tweet by @RayoKasali, it was highlighted that only by staying united and peaceful can we overcome challenges. The call for Farasi and Sadusi (metaphors for those who stir up division) to “hear” the message was especially poignant. The message urges everyone to rise above petty quarrels, misunderstandings, and conflicts and focus on what truly matters: peace, understanding, and collective progress.
This thought-provoking message has garnered considerable attention and sparked conversations on social media about the importance of peace in our communities. Many have shared their support for the message, with several influencers, including Shola Allyson, continuing to promote it.
As the conversation continues to evolve, it is clear that the community is eager for change and committed to building a future that reflects the core values of unity, respect, and peace.
