Flavour is a new dad but it’s not at all something he’s comfortable talking about.
In an interview with Saturday Punch, Flavour said fatherhood is not something he’s comfortable talking about. He also said he’s not ready for marriage and explained why he flaunts his body on social media. Excerpts below…
“I don’t like to talk about being a father but I don’t have any plans for marriage right now and it is because my career is very demanding. I would always want to spend time with my family and it is not something I can do now because I am all over the place. I was raised in the proper way with my parents always watching over me and I want to do the same to my family. For now, I don’t want to get married.”
About why he flaunts his body on social media, Flavour said;
“If I am not doing music, I love to work out and when I do that, I am confident enough to show my body on my social media accounts. If you call me a sex symbol, you are not lying. I feel it is a good thing for people to believe in themselves and be confident. I believe in hard work and it shows in my music and the way I work out at the gym. I exercise a lot and take out time to keep fit and maintain my physique,” he said.
On Jaap Verduijn and Brenda Beek’s books.
I have now had the chance to read Jaap Verduijn’s books.
The books annoy me. And I am slow to get annoyed.
I consider sùúrù one of the most important human qualities.
But the publication is what we call, “Ó tán ni ní sùúrù.”
In other words, it is written with an attitude to dissipate any form of sùúrù.
It has no redeeming aspect to it.
Is it the constant misspelling of Yoruba words, in which “Ire” is spelled as “Iré,” not only once but throughout all the volumes?
Is it the dishonest claim that the book is not about Yoruba Orunmila, yet one sees Opon Ifa illustrations, with Odu signatures, all stolen from Orunmila corpus, in Brenda Beek’s illustrations?
In what other traditions, apart from Orunmila, does one find these Opon Ifa iconographic images?
They are disgusting books.
They demonstrates a European arrogance and lack of respect for African cultural matters.
I am sorry I bought these books.
I want my money back.
Jaap Verduijn should really be ashamed of himself.
He is misleading and abusing his poor apostle, Brenda Beek.
I do not recommend these books.
Mr. Verduijn should desist from attacking African cultures.
He should not release any more of these insults upon indigenous cultures.
If he continues with this practice, he invokes the wrath of the Iyami on his Ori.
I really do want my money back.
Do not buy these books.
They do not represent any African cultural praxis.
They are a mockery of Africa
And they bring shame to the authors.
Second Odu
We invite the Awo to post Odu Ifa to complement the image of Ọ̀YẸ̀KÚ MÉJÌ.
Orunmila will support us.
This is the way for us to build the intellectual library of Ifa University.
