A photo of Obafemi Awolowo walking with two women was captioned “Yoruba Steeze is eternal.” While many people admired the cultural pride it portrayed, one insensitive comment read: “wearing things that look like old bedsheet is now steeze?” This remark is disrespectful to Yoruba traditional attire, which carries deep cultural and historical significance. Such mockery reduces heritage to ridicule and undermines the pride attached to it. Traditional dressing is not just fashion—it is identity, legacy, and pride. Respecting cultural expressions helps preserve unity and appreciation among communities rather than fostering disdain.
