== Invitation to Host Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 in Your Country ==
[[File:Wiki Loves Folklore Logo.svg|right|frameless]]
Dear Team,
My name is Joris Darlington Quarshie (user: Joris Darlington Quarshie), and I am the Event Coordinator for the Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 (WLF) International campaign.
Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 is a photographic competition aimed at highlighting folk culture worldwide. The annual international photography competition is held on Wikimedia Commons between the 1st of February and the 31st of March. This campaign invites photographers and enthusiasts of folk culture globally to showcase their local traditions, festivals, cultural practices, and other folk events by uploading photographs to Wikimedia Commons.
As we celebrate the seventh anniversary of Wiki Loves Folklore, the international team is thrilled to invite Wikimedia affiliates, user groups, and organizations worldwide to host a local edition in their respective countries. This is an opportunity to bring more visibility to the folk culture of your region and contribute valuable content to the internet.
* Please find the project page for this year’s edition at:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2025
* To sign up and organize the event in your country, visit:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2025/Organize
If you wish to organize your local edition in either February or March instead of both months, feel free to let us know.
In addition to the photographic competition, there will also be a Wikipedia writing competition called Feminism and Folklore, which focuses on topics related to feminism, women's issues, gender gaps, and folk culture on Wikipedia.
We welcome your team to organize both the photo and writing campaigns or either one of them in your local Wiki edition. If you are unable to organize both campaigns, feel free to share this opportunity with other groups or organizations in your region that may be interested.
* You can find the Feminism and Folklore project page here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Feminism_and_Folklore_2025
* The page to sign up is:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Feminism_and_Folklore_2025/Project_Page
For any questions or to discuss further collaboration, feel free to contact us via the Talk page or email at support@wikilovesfolklore.org. If your team wishes to connect via a meeting to discuss this further, please let us know.
We look forward to your participation in Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 and to seeing the incredible folk culture of your region represented on Wikimedia Commons.
Sincerely,
The Wiki Loves Folklore International Team

Dear {{PAGENAME}},
Hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out with some exciting updates about '''[[m:Feminism and Folklore 2026|Feminism and Folklore 2026]]'''. Thanks to the amazing support from organizers like you, the campaign has grown into one of the biggest and most collaborative initiatives in the entire Wikimedia movement. Your efforts have played a huge part in that, and we’re truly grateful. We’re hoping to make the 2026 edition even larger and even more community-driven.
We’d be very happy to have you join again as an organizer. The sign-up process is simple this year:
#Create your local event page (you can copy from the [[:m:Feminism_and_Folklore/Sample|sample]])
#Set up your Fountain or [https://tools.wikilovesfolklore.org/campwiz/ CampWiz] campaign.
#Add your campaign link to the 2026 '''[[:m:Feminism_and_Folklore_2026/Project_Page|registration list]]'''
The focus of the campaign remains the same - creating or expanding Wikipedia content on feminism, women’s issues, gender topics, and diverse folk traditions from around the world. International and local prizes will continue as before.
'''Special Prize for 2026:'''
Every participant will receive a Wikipedia 25 digital postcard as a token of appreciation for contributing to the global movement during Wikipedia’s 25th anniversary year. This will be sent to all contributors who take part in the campaign.
We’re also adding an optional one-time internet and childcare support for organizers who may need extra assistance to carry out their local campaign. This is entirely optional and meant to help those who might otherwise face challenges in organizing. More details will be shared soon.
If you’re unable to organize this year, no worries at all - please feel free to share the invitation with others in your community who might be interested.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss plans, you can reach us on the [[:m:Talk:Feminism and Folklore 2026|talk page]] or by email.
Looking forward to collaborating again,
'''Wiki Loves Folklore International Team'''

;Invitation to Organize Feminism and Folklore 2026
Dear {{BASEPAGENAME}},
We are pleased to invite you to organize the '''[[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2026|Feminism and Folklore 2026]]''' writing competition on your local Wikipedia.
The international campaign will run from '''1 February to 31 March 2026''' and aims to improve coverage of feminism, women’s histories, gender-related topics, and folk culture across Wikipedia projects.
;About the Campaign
'''Feminism and Folklore''' is a global writing initiative that complements the '''[[:c:Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2026|Wiki Loves Folklore]]''' photography competition. While Wiki Loves Folklore focuses on visual documentation, this writing campaign addresses the '''gender gap on Wikipedia''' by improving encyclopedic content related to folk culture and women.
;What Can Participants Write About?
Communities can contribute by creating, expanding, or translating articles related to:
* Folk festivals, rituals, and celebrations
* Folk dances, music, and traditional performances
* Women and queer figures in folklore
* Women in mythology and oral traditions
* Women warriors, witches, and witch-hunting narratives
* Fairy tales, folk stories, and legends
* Folk games, sports, and cultural practices
Participants may work from curated article lists or generate new article suggestions using campaign tools.
;How to Sign Up as an Organizer
Organizers are requested to complete the following steps to register their community:
# Create a local project page on your wiki [[:m:Feminism and Folklore/Sample|(see sample)]]
# Set up the campaign using the '''CampWiz''' tool
# Prepare a local article list and clearly mention:
#* Campaign timeline
#* Local and international prizes
# Request a site notice from local administrators [[:mr:Template:SN-FNF|(see sample)]]
# Add your local project page and CampWiz link to the '''[[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2026/Project Page|Meta project page]]'''
;Campaign Tools
The Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced tools to support organizers and participants:
* '''Article List Generator by Topic''' – Helps identify articles available on English Wikipedia but missing in your local language Wikipedia. The tool allows customized filters and provides downloadable article lists in CSV and wikitable formats.
* '''CampWiz''' – Enables communities to manage writing campaigns effectively, including jury-based evaluation. This will be the third year CampWiz is officially used for Feminism and Folklore.
Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. '''[https://tools.wikilovesfolklore.org/ Click here to access the tools]'''
;Learn More & Get Support
*For detailed information about rules, timelines, and prizes, please visit the '''[[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2026|Feminism and Folklore 2026 project page]]'''.
* Join the office hours on 23 January 2026 and connect with the international Team. ([[:m:Event:Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 Office Hours|sign up now]])

You may also include expenses related to local prizes and other forms of recognition for contributors, where appropriate.
Please review the [[:m:Grants/Rapid|Rapid Grant application process]] and prepare your application for the upcoming cycle.
'''Once you submit your application and it appears on Meta, please share the link to your Rapid Grant application with support{{@}}wikilovesfolklore.org and copy team{{@}}wikilovesfolklore.org.'''
This will allow the Feminism and Folklore team to endorse your application when the Wikimedia Foundation Grants Team reaches out to us for confirmation.

== [[Sama Raro]] ==
Hello
Having deleted the promotional content [[Sama Raro]] hope your life is better now? Nigerian pidgin language Wikipedia will never be able to make waves. Firstly, British Empire is not a promotional material but you deleted it, secondly [[Isaiah Ogedegbe]] and others are promotional materials yet you leave them. When talking about Creoles or pidgins such as this, mention is always made on what they are based on, even if not explicitly but implicitly. For instance, other language Wikipedia, the article about Nigerian pidgin is always classified as English creole or English based creole which means that forever people will know the parent language of such a pidgin or creole. Activities on this Wikipedia is always monitored and articles about Isaiah Ogedegbe has repeatedly been deleted on English language Wikipedia, German language Wikipedia, simple English Wikipedia and others but is here. So the international standard organization will be too glad that they assigned iso 639-1 language code to Haitian creole (ht), iso 639-2 language code to other patois and creole such as Jamaican patois (Jam), Sierra Leone creole (sil), but iso 639-3 language code to Nigerian pidgin language (pcm). I wonder what Nigerian pidgin orthography is without proper English. Look at some commands and menu in this Wikipedia, you will still see proper English language in everything concerning this Wikipedia. Did you see Yusa kontribushons? View Yusa groups? Even the mistake of writing the contents of the Babel userbox as it concerns Nigerian pidgin language user is written in proper English. What is the history of this language without mention of English language? By the way, Benin language, Scottish, and some others are standalone languages but they fail to make it into Iso 639-1. Scottish even has its own orthography but it nothing written in Scottish Wikipedia can ever come top on search engines. Scottish is not the same language family with English, the two languages have different histories. Yet Scottish is never promoted. Naijá language will never see the light of the day. The British will see to that. With more resources more than you or anybody else interested in this stupid and useless Naijá language Wikipedia and useless orthography. Mark my words ([[Yuza:Haussawa|Haussawa]] ([[Yuza tok abaut am:Haussawa|tok]]) 09:15, 5 January 2024 (WAT))
:every language changes to a standard form over time, except in situations where the language is dying. Consider these old English orthography and sentences:
:In Wycliff'e Bible of the 1380s, the verse Matthew 8:20 was written: Foxis han dennes, and briddis of heuene han nestis.
:Decipher this:
:Englischmen þeyz hy hadde fram þe bygynnyng þre manner speche, Souþeron, Northeron, and Myddel speche in þe myddel of þe lond, ... Noþeles by comyxstion and mellyng, furst wiþ Danes, and afterward wiþ Normans, in menye þe contray longage ys asperyed, and som vseþ strange wlaffyng, chyteryng, harryng, and garryng grisbytting.
:So maybe Naijá language will end up dead sooner or later as you want it to remain mundane.

Dear Organizer,
I hope this message finds you well.
First and foremost, on behalf of the International Team I want to extend my gratitude to you for your efforts in organizing the '''Feminism and Folklore 2026''' campaign on your local Wikipedia. Your contribution has been instrumental in bridging the gender and folk gap on Wikipedia, and we truly appreciate your dedication to this important cause.
As the campaign has ended I wanted to inform you about the next steps. It's time to commence the jury process using the CampWiz or Fountain tool where your campaign was hosted. Please ensure that you update the details of the jury, campaign links and the names of organizers accurately on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2026/Project Page|sign-up page]].
Once the jury process is completed, kindly update only the top 3 winners details on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2026/Results|results page]] accordingly. The deadline for jury submission of results is '''April 30, 2026'''. However, if you find that the number of articles is high and you require more time, please don't hesitate to inform us via email or on campaign Meta Wiki talk page. We are more than willing to approve an extension if needed.
Should you encounter any issues with the tools, please feel free to reach out to us on Telegram for assistance.
Your feedback and progress updates are crucial for us to improve the campaign and better understand your community's insights. Therefore, we kindly ask you to spare just an hour to collectively share your progress and achievements with us during our '''[[:m:Event:Feminism and Folklore 2026 Post-Campaign Office Hour|community feedback session]]'''.

== [[Sama Raro]] ==
Hello
Having deleted the promotional content [[Sama Raro]] hope your life is better now? Nigerian pidgin language Wikipedia will never be able to make waves. Firstly, British Empire is not a promotional material but you deleted it, secondly [[Isaiah Ogedegbe]] and others are promotional materials yet you leave them. When talking about Creoles or pidgins such as this, mention is always made on what they are based on, even if not explicitly but implicitly. For instance, other language Wikipedia, the article about Nigerian pidgin is always classified as English creole or English based creole which means that forever people will know the parent language of such a pidgin or creole. Activities on this Wikipedia is always monitored and articles about Isaiah Ogedegbe has repeatedly been deleted on English language Wikipedia, German language Wikipedia, simple English Wikipedia and others but is here. So the international standard organization will be too glad that they assigned iso 639-1 language code to Haitian creole (ht), iso 639-2 language code to other patois and creole such as Jamaican patois (Jam), Sierra Leone creole (sil), but iso 639-3 language code to Nigerian pidgin language (pcm). I wonder what Nigerian pidgin orthography is without proper English. Look at some commands and menu in this Wikipedia, you will still see proper English language in everything concerning this Wikipedia. Did you see Yusa kontribushons? View Yusa groups? Even the mistake of writing the contents of the Babel userbox as it concerns Nigerian pidgin language user is written in proper English. What is the history of this language without mention of English language? By the way, Benin language, Scottish, and some others are standalone languages but they fail to make it into Iso 639-1. Scottish even has its own orthography but it nothing written in Scottish Wikipedia can ever come top on search engines. Scottish is not the same language family with English, the two languages have different histories. Yet Scottish is never promoted. Naijá language will never see the light of the day. The British will see to that. With more resources more than you or anybody else interested in this stupid and useless Naijá language Wikipedia and useless orthography. Mark my words ([[Yuza:Haussawa|Haussawa]] ([[Yuza tok abaut am:Haussawa|tok]]) 09:15, 5 January 2024 (WAT))
:every language changes to a standard form over time, except in situations where the language is dying. Consider these old English orthography and sentences:
:In Wycliff'e Bible of the 1380s, the verse Matthew 8:20 was written: Foxis han dennes, and briddis of heuene han nestis.
:Decipher this:
:Englischmen þeyz hy hadde fram þe bygynnyng þre manner speche, Souþeron, Northeron, and Myddel speche in þe myddel of þe lond, ... Noþeles by comyxstion and mellyng, furst wiþ Danes, and afterward wiþ Normans, in menye þe contray longage ys asperyed, and som vseþ strange wlaffyng, chyteryng, harryng, and garryng grisbytting.
:So maybe Naijá language will end up dead sooner or later as you want it to remain mundane.

Each organizer/jury who gets support will receive $30 USD in gift voucher format, even if they're involved in more than one wiki. No dual support will be provided if you have signed up in more than one language. This support is meant to appreciate your volunteer support for the contest.
We also invite all organizers and jury members to join us for office hours on '''Saturday, March 2, 2024'''. This session will help you understand the jury process for both contests and give you a chance to ask questions. More details are on [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2024_Office_Hour_2 meta page].
Let's celebrate our different cultures and work towards gender equality on Wikipedia!

Dear Organizer,
I hope this message finds you well.
First and foremost, on behalf of the International Team I want to extend my gratitude to you for your efforts in organizing the '''Feminism and Folklore 2026''' campaign on your local Wikipedia. Your contribution has been instrumental in bridging the gender and folk gap on Wikipedia, and we truly appreciate your dedication to this important cause.
As the campaign has ended I wanted to inform you about the next steps. It's time to commence the jury process using the CampWiz or Fountain tool where your campaign was hosted. Please ensure that you update the details of the jury, campaign links and the names of organizers accurately on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2026/Project Page|sign-up page]].
Once the jury process is completed, kindly update only the top 3 winners details on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2026/Results|results page]] accordingly. The deadline for jury submission of results is '''April 30, 2026'''. However, if you find that the number of articles is high and you require more time, please don't hesitate to inform us via email or on campaign Meta Wiki talk page. We are more than willing to approve an extension if needed.
Should you encounter any issues with the tools, please feel free to reach out to us on Telegram for assistance.
Your feedback and progress updates are crucial for us to improve the campaign and better understand your community's insights. Therefore, we kindly ask you to spare just an hour to collectively share your progress and achievements with us during our '''[[:m:Event:Feminism and Folklore 2026 Post-Campaign Office Hour|community feedback session]]'''.

Greetings,
The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C)]] seeks candidates for the 2026 election. The U4C is the global committee responsible for overseeing enforcement of the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]]. Elections are held annually, if elected a committee member serves for two years.
This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates. You can find more information in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026#Call_for_Candidates|call for candidates on Meta-wiki]]. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.
The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will be a week in between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/SecurePoll|SecurePoll]], successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026|the 2026 Elections page]], including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

Dear Feminism and Folklore organisers,
We are happy to invite you to start preparing for the '''Feminism and Folklore 2027''' edition!
The next Wikimedia Foundation [[:m:Grants/Rapid|Rapid Grant]] application cycle, Cycle 3, starts on '''1 November 2026'''. If you are planning to organise Feminism and Folklore in your country or region in 2027, we encourage you to start working on your project plans, Wikipedia workshops, community activities, local events, and budget ahead of the application period.
In particular, organisers are encouraged to consider activities that support participants in creating and improving Wikipedia articles and other Wikimedia projects related to feminism, women, gender and local cultural heritage. You may also include expenses related to local prizes and other forms of recognition for contributors, where appropriate.
Please review the [[:m:Grants/Rapid|Rapid Grant application process]] and prepare your application for the upcoming cycle.
'''Once you submit your application and it appears on Meta, please share the link to your Rapid Grant application with support{{@}}wikilovesfolklore.org and copy team{{@}}wikilovesfolklore.org.'''
This will allow the Feminism and Folklore team to endorse your application when the Wikimedia Foundation Grants Team reaches out to us for confirmation.
If you have any questions or concerns about the Rapid Grant application process, please contact support{{@}}wikilovesfolklore.org.
Thank you for your continued support and for all the work you do to document and celebrate the knowledge, stories, and contributions of women and gender-diverse communities around the world. We look forward to supporting your applications and working together towards another successful edition!

Dear Organizer,
I hope this message finds you well.
First and foremost, on behalf of the International Team I want to extend my gratitude to you for your efforts in organizing the '''Feminism and Folklore 2026''' campaign on your local Wikipedia. Your contribution has been instrumental in bridging the gender and folk gap on Wikipedia, and we truly appreciate your dedication to this important cause.
As the campaign has ended I wanted to inform you about the next steps. It's time to commence the jury process using the CampWiz or Fountain tool where your campaign was hosted. Please ensure that you update the details of the jury, campaign links and the names of organizers accurately on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2026/Project Page|sign-up page]].
Once the jury process is completed, kindly update only the top 3 winners details on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2026/Results|results page]] accordingly. The deadline for jury submission of results is '''April 30, 2026'''. However, if you find that the number of articles is high and you require more time, please don't hesitate to inform us via email or on campaign Meta Wiki talk page. We are more than willing to approve an extension if needed.
Should you encounter any issues with the tools, please feel free to reach out to us on Telegram for assistance.
Your feedback and progress updates are crucial for us to improve the campaign and better understand your community's insights.

You may also include expenses related to local prizes and other forms of recognition for contributors, where appropriate.
Please review the [[:m:Grants/Rapid|Rapid Grant application process]] and prepare your application for the upcoming cycle.

'''Here's what we would like you to do:'''
* Read the manual for more detail on the tool and the tasks you can perform: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Language_Onboarding_and_Development/Starter_kit
* Access the Starter Kit tool: https://starterkit.toolforge.org/ and log in with your Wikimedia account to try it out.
* Sign up for one of three virtual meetings: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Language_Onboarding_and_Development/Starter_kit/Office_hours#Office_hours, where you can:

=== Popular music ===
Afta dem establish republic and comot from [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] for 1961, di Afrikaners goal be to promote dia culture, so at first, di SABC choice of popular music reflect di [[National Party (South Africa)|National Party]] government initial conservatism, especially on di Afrikaans channel, with musicians like [[Nico Carstens]]. But dem also ostracise Carstens by di SABC, as im music get influence from di [[Coloured]] and [[Cape Malay|Malay]] communities of Cape Town.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2MU1vxkY16EC&dq=Nico+Carstens+sabc&pg=PA143 ''Sounding the Cape: Music, Identity and Politics in South Africa''], [[Denis-Constant Martin]], African Minds, 2013, page 143</ref>
Eventually, musicians break di barrier, wen di young, English-speaking Jewish musician and composer, [[Charles Segal (pianist)|Charles Segal]] collaborate with di older Afrikaans lyric-writer, [[Anton Dewaal]], to write songs.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=kFfpAAAAMAAJ&q=Charles+Segal++Afrikaans+lyric-writer,+Anton+Dewaal,++.

''[[The Star (South Africa)|The Star]]'', 1999, page 173</ref> But, censorship dey tight over all broadcasts, especially of pop music, with, for example, di music of [[the Beatles]] wey di SABC ban between 1966 and March 1971.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=yz4IAQAAMAAJ&q=south+africa+ban+1966+ ''John Ono Lennon: Volume 2 1967–1980''], Muff Andersson, Ravan Press, 1981, page 281</ref>
For 1966 di SABC establish external service, wey dem know as [[Radio RSA]], wey dey broadcast for English, Swahili, French, Portuguese, Dutch and German. For 1969 di SABC hold national contest to find theme music for di service. Di popular [[South Africa]]n pianist and composer, [[Charles Segal (pianist)|Charles Segal]] and co-writer, [[Dorothy Arenson]] win dis contest. Dia composition, "Carousel" remain di theme song for Radio RSA until 1992, wen [[Channel Africa]] replace am.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=6cRzAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Channel+Africa+replaced+the+station+Radio+RSA+in+1992%22 ''South Africa Yearbook''], South African Communication Service, 1995, page 292</ref>
For 1986, di SABC run competition to promote South African music.

=== 1996 restructuring ===
For 1996 di SABC carry out significant restructuring of dia services. Di main English-language radio service become [[SAfm (South Africa)|SAfm]]. Di new service, afta some initial faltering, soon develop respectable listenership and dem see am as flagship for di new democracy. But, government interference for di state broadcaster for 2003 see further changes to SAfm wey reverse di growth and put am in rapid decline once more.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} Today e dey attract only 0.6% of di total population to im broadcasts. Dem change di main Afrikaans radio service name to [[Radio Sonder Grense]] (literally 'Radio Without Borders') for 1995 and e enjoy greater success with di transition.
By contrast, SABC Radio competitors, like [[Primedia]]-owned [[Radio 702]], [[Cape Talk]] and [[94.7 Highveld Stereo]] don grow steadily in audience and revenue, while other stations like di black-owned and focused [[YFM]] and [[Kaya FM]] don also attract black audiences.

== Background and how e rise to power ==
Dem found Ijaiye around 1785 and e dey for di road between Ibadan and Iseyin.<ref name="bbc_yoruba"/> Afta [[Fulani jihad|Fulani]] forces sack [[Old Oyo]] for 1831 and di subsequent restoration of [[New Oyo]] under Alafin Atiba Atobatele, wey come to di throne for 1837, dem reorganise Yorubaland around series of militarily powerful successor towns.<ref name="vanguard2018"/> Atiba appoint Kurunmi as Aare Ona Kakanfo, di highest military title for di Oyo state system, while e appoint Oluyole as Bashorun of Ibadan.<ref name="vanguard2018"/> As Kakanfo, custom require say Kurunmi must reside outside di capital, so e make Ijaiye im headquarters.<ref name="vanguard2018"/>
Missionary accounts from dat period describe Ijaiye under Kurunmi as town of considerable size and economic activity. Reverend Henry Townsend, wey visit for 1852, estimate di population at about 40,000 and describe di market as di finest wey e don encounter for Africa. Missionary R. H. Stone, wey reside for Ijaiye for six years from 1859, estimate di population at about 100,000 and note say trade caravans from di interior meet those from di coast for di town market.<ref name="tribune2026">{{cite news |title=Trump and the ruin of Kurunmi |url=https://tribuneonlineng.com/trump-and-the-ruin-of-kurunmi/amp/ |newspaper=Nigerian Tribune |date=12 January 2026 |first=Lasisi |last=Olagunju |access-date=18 February 2026}}</ref> Stone describe Kurunmi as "haughty, despotic, ambitious and cruel" while e also note say e be "firm, just and reasonable on most occasions."<ref name="tribune2026"/> Townsend, wey write for 1852, note say although Kurunmi claim say e no like theft and kidnapping, e dey use armed force to compel trade caravans make dem pass through Ijaiye so dat e go collect toll of 200 cowries per load.<ref name="tribune2026"/>
Missionary and historical sources from dat time indicate say Kurunmi compound cover about eleven acres and e get storage rooms, accommodation for about 300 wives and 1,000 slaves, and one big enclosed space wey dem dey use for public trials and executions.<ref name="tribune2026"/>
== Di dispute over Adelu succession ==
By Oyo custom, di eldest son of one deceased Alafin suppose die with im father. Wen Alafin Atiba dey near death, e summon im principal chiefs and instruct dem make dem install im son Adelu as im successor, and dis one depart from di established practice. Ibadan accept di instruction. Kurunmi refuse, on di ground say di installation of Adelu violate di constitutional order of Oyo.<ref name="vanguard2018"/> Wen Atiba die for 1859 and dem crown Adelu, Kurunmi no gree attend di installation ceremony or pay homage to di new Alafin.<ref name="vanguard2018"/>
Series of incidents later sharpen di dispute between Kurunmi and Adelu. Wen one woman for Ijanna, one town wey dey under Ijaiye, die without heirs, Adelu send representatives to collect di estate, as na di entitlement of di crown under custom. Kurunmi ambush di Alafin party for Jabata, kill number of dem, and take 240 as captives wey e declare slaves. Wen Adelu seek dia release and offer payment, Kurunmi demand twice di rate wey dem offer. Adelu pay di increased sum. Entreaties from Balogun Ibikunle of Ibadan and oda Yoruba chiefs fail to persuade Kurunmi make e change im position.<ref name="vanguard2018"/> Adelu later send emissaries wey carry di edan ogboni, symbol of peace, with gunpowder wey represent war, and e invite Kurunmi make e choose between di two. Kurunmi kill all but one of di emissaries and return di ogboni symbol to Adelu, and dat mean say e choose war.<ref name="vanguard2018"/>
== Di Ijaiye War ==
Di war wey follow no be only Ijaiye and Ibadan matter, e draw in range of oda Yoruba states. Di Egba ally with Ijaiye against Ibadan, same with di Ijebu and one Fulani contingent.<ref name="bbc_yoruba"/> Balogun Ibikunle and Basorun Ogunmola lead Ibadan for di field. One oda dimension of di conflict be long-standing personal grievance: Kurunmi don capture Ogunmola before, hold am captive for Ijaiye, and feed am on ashes during im detention.<ref name="nation2013"/>
Ibadan forces encamp for di bank of River Ose, about thirteen miles from Ijaiye. Di Ibadan army use drum signals wey Ijaiye troops dey use to draw Ijaiye soldiers across di river, where dem ambush dem. Dem kill Kurunmi eldest son, Arawole, for dis engagement and dem send im severed head to Kurunmi.<ref name="bbc_yoruba"/> Di Egba forces later withdraw from di battlefield without tell Kurunmi, and dis leave Ijaiye without im principal ally.<ref name="nation2013"/>
Ibadan also cut off Ijaiye supply routes, including access to Iwawun, im principal source of food and water. British commercial interests reinforce di blockade, as dem provide Ibadan with access to modern firearms through trade routes via Lagos, while dem restrict Ijaiye access to di same.<ref name="bbc_yoruba"/> By 1862, di combination of military defeat, di loss of all five of Kurunmi sons for di war, famine, and di collapse of allied support don render Ijaiye unable to continue resistance. Di war end with di destruction of Ijaiye as political entity.<ref name="bbc_yoruba"/>
== Death ==
Di precise circumstances of Kurunmi death still no clear. One account talk say e die by suicide through ingestion of poison, afta e conclude say continued life no get purpose afta di deaths of all im sons and di defeat of im town.<ref name="bbc_yoruba"/> Anoda account wey dey for local oral tradition talk say e die for im house afta di war end and dem bury am near River Ose, with three slaves dem bury with am according to custom.<ref name="nation2013"/> Third account suggest say e die for battle and dem carry am go Ijaiye for burial. Dem never identify any confirmed burial site. According to one account wey oral tradition keep, na only im daughter, Iyagbogbo, know di precise location of im grave.<ref name="nation2013"/>
== Legacy and commemoration ==
Ijaiye, wey some sources dey call Orile Ijaiye, still be small agrarian town for Oyo State. Residents and historians of di area don note say monuments and relics wey connect to Kurunmi and di war don deteriorate, including di shrines for im compound and inscribed memorial stones for Ijaiye High School, wey dem report for 2013 say don fade reach point of near-illegibility.<ref name="nation2013"/> One monument to Kurunmi and separate monument to Reverend Thomas Bowen, di Baptist missionary wey establish di first Baptist church for Nigeria for Ijaiye for 1854, stand for di school premises.<ref name="nation2013"/>
Di masquerade regalia wey connect to Kurunmi, wey dem talk say e include carved wooden masks and di skulls of animals, don dey maintained through inheritance by members of di Kurunmi lineage. As of 2013, dem report say di material dey for di custody of Tijani Salami, wey tok say dem don pass am down through successive custodians since di warrior death.<ref name="nation2013"/>
Kurunmi be di central figure for two significant works of Naija dramatic literature: ''Kurunmi'' by [[Ola Rotimi]], wey dem first publish for 1971, and ''Ijaye'' by [[Wale Ogunyemi]], and both of dem reconstruct di events of di Ijaiye War using documented historical figures and events.<ref name="nation2013"/>

Ibadan also cut off Ijaiye supply routes, including access to Iwawun, im principal source of food and water. British commercial interests reinforce di blockade, as dem provide Ibadan with access to modern firearms through trade routes via Lagos, while dem restrict Ijaiye access to di same.<ref name="bbc_yoruba"/> By 1862, di combination of military defeat, di loss of all five of Kurunmi sons for di war, famine, and di collapse of allied support don render Ijaiye unable to continue resistance. Di war end with di destruction of Ijaiye as political entity.<ref name="bbc_yoruba"/>
== Death ==
Di precise circumstances of Kurunmi death still no clear. One account talk say e die by suicide through ingestion of poison, afta e conclude say continued life no get purpose afta di deaths of all im sons and di defeat of im town.<ref name="bbc_yoruba"/> Anoda account wey dey for local oral tradition talk say e die for im house afta di war end and dem bury am near River Ose, with three slaves dem bury with am according to custom.<ref name="nation2013"/> Third account suggest say e die for battle and dem carry am go Ijaiye for burial. Dem never identify any confirmed burial site. According to one account wey oral tradition keep, na only im daughter, Iyagbogbo, know di precise location of im grave.<ref name="nation2013"/>
== Legacy and commemoration ==
Ijaiye, wey some sources dey call Orile Ijaiye, still be small agrarian town for Oyo State. Residents and historians of di area don note say monuments and relics wey connect to Kurunmi and di war don deteriorate, including di shrines for im compound and inscribed memorial stones for Ijaiye High School, wey dem report for 2013 say don fade reach point of near-illegibility.<ref name="nation2013"/> One monument to Kurunmi and separate monument to Reverend Thomas Bowen, di Baptist missionary wey establish di first Baptist church for Nigeria for Ijaiye for 1854, stand for di school premises.<ref name="nation2013"/>
Di masquerade regalia wey connect to Kurunmi, wey dem talk say e include carved wooden masks and di skulls of animals, don dey maintained through inheritance by members of di Kurunmi lineage. As of 2013, dem report say di material dey for di custody of Tijani Salami, wey tok say dem don pass am down through successive custodians since di warrior death.<ref name="nation2013"/>
Kurunmi be di central figure for two significant works of Naija dramatic literature: ''Kurunmi'' by [[Ola Rotimi]], wey dem first publish for 1971, and ''Ijaye'' by [[Wale Ogunyemi]], and both of dem reconstruct di events of di Ijaiye War using documented historical figures and events.<ref name="nation2013"/>

Adedeji Atiba, one scholar from Ogbomoso wey dey live for Europe at di time of di animal death, tell TheCable say wen e identify imself as person from Ogbomoso, di pipul e dey talk to go ask about di tortoise before dem ask about di king.<ref name="cable"/> Toyin Ajamu, Private Secretary to di reigning Soun, Oba Oladunni Oyewumi, confirm say di king spend im personal resources to provide for di animal welfare and say two members of di palace staff dey assigned exclusively to im care.<ref name="cable"/><ref name="punch"/>
== Di age claim and wetin experts talk ==
Reptile specialists dispute di claim say di tortoise be 344 years old at death. Tim Skelton of Bristol Zoo describe di alleged age as impossible, and e tok say although giant tortoises fit, for exceptional cases, survive reach about 200 years, di African spurred tortoise get typical lifespan of between 70 and 100 years.<ref name="bbc"/> John Wilkinson, one professional [[herpetologist]], describe di claimed age as unlikely in di extreme, and e suggest say di most probable explanation be say di palace don, over time, replace one tortoise with anoda without changing di attributed identity or age.<ref name="bbc"/>
Different figures circulate at different times. One 2011 bulletin by NTA News24 place di animal age at 330, wey for dat time go make am 338 at di time of death; di same broadcast separately cite di figure of 325, and dis produce internal inconsistency.<ref name="cable"/> Palace attendants, for 2018, tok say di age be 347, wey go place am at about 348 at di time of death.<ref name="cable"/> TheCable note say no definitive record of di animal birth dey and say carbon dating go dey required to approach any reliable estimate.<ref name="cable"/>
Di BBC report say di oldest living tortoise and di oldest individual animal on record at di time of Alagba death na [[Jonathan (tortoise)|Jonathan]], one giant tortoise wey dey live for [[Saint Helena]], and dem estimate am to be 187 years of age dat time.<ref name="bbc"/> TheCable also note di case of [[Adwaita]], one tortoise of Seychelles origin wey die for [[Kolkata]], India, and dem attribute alleged age of 255 years to am, though dat figure also get uncertainty.<ref name="cable"/>

'''Cadaver''', wey pipul also dey call '''corpse''', na dead human body. Doctors, medical students, and scientists dey use cadavers to learn about di human body. Dem also dey use dem to find out wetin cause person death, or to find signs of disease inside di body.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.rxlist.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=12491 |title=Definition of Cadaver |work=RxList |access-date=2018-12-03}}</ref>
Medical students dey cut open cadavers to learn wetin dey inside di body. Dem dey call dis one dissection. Pipul wey dey study old bones, wey dem call archaeologists, also dey sometimes study cadavers. Art students dey study dem too, to learn how to draw di human body correct.
Dem also dey use cadavers to test new tools wey dem dey use for surgery, and to help make cars safer.
Di word ''cadaver'' come from di Latin word ''cadere'', wey mean "to fall".
== How body dey break down ==
Afta person die, di body dey slowly break down. Dem dey call dis one decomposition. Scientists dey study di stages of decomposition to find out how long body don dead.
E get three main stages:
=== Stage one: Self-digestion ===
Di first stage na autolysis. Dis na wen di body own cells stat to break down. Liquid dey form inside di body and e dey make di skin peel. Flies dey lay eggs for openings of di body, like di eyes, nose, and mouth. Di eggs dey hatch into small worms wey dem call maggots, and dem dey eat di body.
=== Stage two: Bloating ===
Di second stage na bloating. Bacteria inside di body dey break down body parts and make gas. Di gas dey build up inside di body, mainly for di stomach area. Dis one usually dey happen about two weeks afta death.
=== Stage three: Rotting ===
Di third stage na putrefaction. Dis na di longest stage. Di organs, muscles, and soft parts of di body dey break down and become liquid. Afta several years, na only di bones remain. For soils wey get plenty acid, even di bones go later dissolve.
How fast decomposition dey happen depend on temperature. Warm, wet place dey make body break down faster.
== Tori ==
Di use of cadavers for learning get long history.
Around 300 BC, two Greek doctors wey dem call Herophilus and Erasistratus cut open dead bodies for Alexandria to learn about di human body. Through dis work, Herophilus discover plenty things, like di difference between sensory and motor nerves, and di parts of di eye. Afta dis two men die, di practice of cutting open dead bodies stop for many years.
E stat again around di 12th century. For 1231, di ruler of di Holy Roman Empire tok say make dem cut open human body once every five years for teaching purposes. Dis na di first time dem allow am officially. One doctor wey dem call Mondino de Liuzzi be di first to publicly cut open human body since 300 BC.
For long time, di only legal way to get cadaver na from di bodies of criminals wey dem hang. Plenty pipul vex about dis one. Sometimes pipul fight to stop dem make dem carry di bodies of criminals go.
Bikos bodies no dey enough, some pipul stat to dey steal bodies from graves. Dem dey call dis one grave robbing. Di pipul wey dey do am, dem dey sometimes call dem "resurrection men".
For 1788, riot break out for New York City afta pipul find out say doctors dey use bodies from graves. Di riot grow reach 5,000 pipul and six pipul die. Afta dis one, dem pass new laws to allow unclaimed bodies to be used for dissection. Massachusetts be di first state to do dis one, for 1830.
=== Burke and Hare ===
For Scotland for di 1820s, two men wey dem call Burke and Hare run one house where pipul dey stay. Wen one of dia tenants die, dem sell im body to one doctor for seven pounds. Afta dat, dem kill 16 pipul and sell dia bodies too. Dem later catch dem. Hare agree to tell on Burke in exchange for make dem no punish am. Dem find Burke guilty, hang am, and later dem cut open im body in public.
=== Bishop, May and Williams ===
For London, three men kill three children and try to sell dia bodies to one doctor. Di doctor suspect and e send for police. Dem arrest di men. One of dem tok say e don steal between 500 and 1,000 bodies during im career.
== For art ==
Artists don dey study cadavers for hundreds of years to draw and paint di human body more accurate.
Leonardo da Vinci be one of di most well-known artists to do dis one. E stat to learn how to draw di outside of di body as young student. Later e stat to cut open bodies himself, and e do about 30 dissections. Through dis work, e draw di first accurate pictures of di fetus for di womb, di umbilical cord, and di uterus. E also study di skull, di brain, di foot, di ankle, and di shoulder.
Anoda man wey dem call Andreas Vesalius use bodies of executed criminals to study anatomy. E work with artists to make drawings for im book about di human body. E also find mistakes for older books wey dem write about di body.
== How dem dey use am for science and medicine ==
Cadavers don help scientists discover plenty things about di human body. Herophilus use dem to find out how di heart valves dey work. Erasistratus use dem to study di veins and arteries.
Today, dem still dey use cadavers for medical schools. Students dey cut dem open to learn about di body. Surgeons also dey study dem before dem do new types of operations.
Dem also dey use cadavers to help find di cause of death for person. Doctor fit cut open dead body, wey dem call autopsy, to find signs of disease or injury.
== How dem dey keep body for use ==
To keep body for good condition for study, dem must keep am cold or treat am with chemicals within 24 hours of death.
=== How dem dey use chemicals ===
One way to preserve body na to fill am with chemicals. Dem dey call dis one embalming. Common chemicals wey dem dey use include formaldehyde, phenol, methanol, and glycerin. Dis chemicals dey stop di body from rotting and dey keep di tissue soft enough to study.
Formaldehyde be di most widely used. E dey kill bacteria and e dey stop di body from decaying. But e fit make di skin turn grey and im fumes fit harm pipul wey breathe am.
=== Plastination ===
Anoda way to preserve body na wetin dem dey call plastination. One man wey dem call Gunther von Hagens invent am for Germany for 1977. For dis method, dem dey replace di liquid and fat for di body with plastic. Di result na hard, dry body wey no dey smell and wey easy to store.
Di process involve say dem go soak di body for chemical wey dem call acetone, wey dey remove water and fat. Den dem put di body for bath of liquid plastic, wey dey fill di empty spaces. Den dem harden di plastic.
Plastinated bodies dey last long and dem safe to handle. But no be all schools fit afford to use dem.
== Cadavers and car safety ==
Before dem invent crash test dummies, dem dey use cadavers to test how car crashes dey affect di human body. One man wey dem call Lawrence Patrick be one of di first to do dis one for di 1930s.
Dem dey attach small measuring tools to di bones of di cadaver. Den dem go hit or drop di body for ways wey copy wetin dey happen for car crash. Afta di test, dem go check di body for damage.
Dem find out for 1995 say improvements wey dem make to cars through cadaver testing don prevent about 143,000 injuries and 4,250 deaths.
For 1993, pipul find out say one university for Germany use about 200 cadavers, including children bodies, for crash tests. Dis one cause public outcry. Dem order di university to prove say di families of di cadavers agree to dia use.
