World Esu Day !

[Omowale]

Today is World Esu Day!



As you may know today is Èṣù awareness day. In Yorubaland, people partake in a peaceful walk to spread to campaign against the misrepresentation and ignorance brought about by the Abrahamics (followers of Christianity & Islam) due to colonialism.


Today many are taking a stand.

Translation by @Fẹ́mi :

Èṣù will support me, the owner of 1400 gourds
Alagajiga
Èṣù will save me, the owner of 1400 gourds
Alagajiga
Èṣù will save me, he'll save my friend
Èṣù ọ̀dàrà
He'll kill, he'll kill my enemy
Èṣù ọ̀dàrà
Èṣù may you save us, the owner of 1400 gourds
