2025: My New Year Resolution

I have an unshakable passion for Yorùbá culture—so deep that it often keeps me awake at night.

There are moments when I can’t rest until I’ve poured my thoughts into an article or delved into some research.

It’s a restless drive, only soothed when I’ve completed a cultural project.

Over the years, Yorùbá culture has suffered immense damage, and sadly, Yorùbá Nollywood has contributed to this by misrepresenting aspects of our rich heritage.

Since the year 2016, I’ve written hundreds of articles on Yorùbá culture and history.

Many were originally published on my former website, but they’re now available on my website, johnsonokunade.com.

Despite my dedication to cultural preservation, I never considered reviewing movies or critiquing harmful portrayals—until I watched House of Ga’a.

The glaringly misleading history and cultural inaccuracies in that film were too much to ignore.

Writing that first review not only drew attention but also opened doors to exciting opportunities.

Since then, I’ve reviewed films like Lísàbí, Seven Doors, and The Blacksmith (Alágbẹ̀dẹ).

This year 2025, by God’s grace, I’m prioritizing reviews of Yorùbá culture-themed movies.

I plan to share them across my website, YouTube channel, and all my social platforms.

Together, we can celebrate and protect the beauty of Yorùbá culture.
