"That’s not a gift it’s called AROKO in Yoruba .. they should be careful."

Explaining further, no_creative_username_found wrote:

"Aroko is a Social Symbol of Communication Among Yoruba Natives, mainly before the coming of western culture. The cutlass might symbolise war as it’s synonymous with Ogun, who is god of war and cutlass is one of his military weapons."
