Olamide Advocates for Yoruba Culture at Movie Premiere

Nigerian singer Olamide defended Yoruba culture and traditions during a speech at a movie premiere. He stated that African heritage should not be viewed as evil or something to be ashamed of.

Olamide emphasized that African traditions should be understood and respected rather than condemned due to misconceptions. He asserted that cultural practices should not be automatically associated with evil, promoting the idea that people should take pride in their roots and cultural values.

Olamide remarked, “This is really just promoting the culture and trying to sensitise people that our culture and our tradition is not diabolical. Our culture and our tradition is not to be demonised.

And we are proud of who we are, where we are coming from and everything about our heritage, our tradition and our culture. I’m a Yoruba boy; if you give me black soap, I’ll gladly collect it.”.
