I get to understand that the ANAGO word actually means i no go. The word was developed during the slave trade and it was passived by the indigenes that people captured by the Frech slave traders are treated better than the English slave traders, so in protest, the slaves will be shouting I NO GO when being sold to English slave Traders, which was pronounced ANOGO. Thanks, a bit of Lagos history from late grandmother. 3 Likes |

cogitoErgo: my heart skipped a bit on reading d jihad part! Yorubaland was nearly overrun by those jihadists, had it been that Nupeland was strong like the Tiv people, the game would have been different. Internal strife was the major undoing of the Yoruba kingdom then, it wasn't as if Fulani could have overun Yorubaland so easily but because of the division it was easy to conquer village by village. The table turned when the great warriors of ibadan intervened and sent fulani back. 1 Like |

funnyx: That may not be entirely true. War is bad no doubt but it also allows for a lot of inventions that are converted to regular, daily peaceful use after the war. I imagine the internal strife of yoruba city-states led to people being forced into alliances and building city walls, organising armies, greater metal works, organising markets and securing them etc. Do you know how much "internal strife" there was among European nations up until as recent as 1945, the end of WW2 Would you say Europe is undone? We should stop thinking in simplex mode and try to look at things from a very comprehensive perspective. |

Yorubaland was nearly overrun by those jihadists, had it been that Nupeland was strong like the Tiv people, the game would have been different. The opening post has a load of falsehood. Islam remains an integral part of modern Yoruba history. That is how people like moi exist. |

9jacrip: Not quite correct. Islam made its way into yoruba land through commerce. It was the same way christianity came into Nigeria. First by commerce. Later war, annexation and colonisation. The commerce with the fulanis included slave trade that ended up in Arab land. |

Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by Nobody: 5:54pm On Jun 21, 2013 |
anonimi: I'm talking about islam becoming prevalent as a widely accepted religion. Yoruba had contact with muslims but they did not become converts, there was even a mosque at old oyo but used by itinerant muslims (visitors or traders) and yorubas didnt islamize till the jihad. In a nutshell, your point only states exposure of yorubas to muslims/islam not their being proselytized. |

Youruba people originated from Saudi-Arabia and migrated to Nigeria through Egypt. In the past they broadcast news in yoruba from Egypt. We also have yorubas in Brazil. Alots of them found thier way back to Lagos after slave trade.That's why You hear names like; aganga pinhnero from Lagos. |

Talking about copying western culture i don't think so especially on this dispensation we are shaking off it unlike 10yrs back.Nigerians are now defining there own outfit now.Even musically etc-the problem now is these western characteristic attitudes-no more respect for yha elders. |
