I don't know what's wrong with Nigerians. Ijebus have a lot to be proud of but most of this list is either wrong, completely made-up or unverifiable (what does "origins from bible days" mean?) Why start a discussion of Ijebu history but not mention Sungbo's Eredo, the largest single fortification on the African continent and one of the earliest sites of political centralization? http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/20/world/eredo-journal-a-wall-a-moat-behold-a-lost-yoruba-kingdom.html |

ShyM-X: These guys are looking for your attention. There's a whole thread full of fantasies and hyperbole about their group but they don't seem to have any interest in that. You're better off reading and then writing about (verifiable) Ijebu history and culture if you're that passionate about it. |

Ijebu land was where Blood-Money Ritual was first discovered in the whole Africa. I mean we want to be factual with history, but why would you want to be known as the 1st for this? |

Err... Let me add factual info. to the list.... The richest black woman in the world, Mrs Folorunsho Alakija, is an Ijebu woman from Ikorodu Lagos(waterside Ijebu)... The only black man(Chief Obafemi Awolowo) Sir Harold Macmillan(former British PM) thought could rule England was an Ijebu man... The first black/African nobel laureate in literature, and probably the only black African to have won the prize, Prof. Wole Soyinka, is also an Ijebu man... Proudly Jebusite!! Eweso!! |

Re: THE PRIDE OF Ijebus: Unbelieveable Facts... by Sirniyeh(m): 8:35am On Apr 28, 2013 |
[quote author=PAGAN 9JA][/quote] . OP, you claimed tha all the facts are false, why not provide the correct or right answer. Dont be confused, Ijebuites in the bible have their origin in Ethopia. And the history of Ijebus in Nigeria is traceable to ethopia. Ijebu migrated from ethopia to nigeria. Even when Awujale celebrated his 50yrs coronation anniversary three year ago, people from Ethopia including their paramount ruler was present and shed more light on the history. He said the ijebus in ethopia and nigeria are brothers. So those who said it is false should go and study history. Simple. Great ijebuites, dont mind them, body dey pepper them |
Re: THE PRIDE OF Ijebus: Unbelieveable Facts... by tpia5: 10:13am On Apr 28, 2013 |
You should be able to state which ethiopian tribe you're referring to, since ethiopia in itself covers many different ethnicities. Amharics generally have a very distinct horner look, maybe you mean the afars or one of the other negro tribes present there. |
Re: THE PRIDE OF Ijebus: Unbelieveable Facts... by Sirniyeh(m): 1:12pm On Apr 28, 2013 |
tpia@:. Why are you after Ijebu so too bitter? Has any Ijebu lady duped you? Why body dey pepper you? |
Re: THE PRIDE OF Ijebus: Unbelieveable Facts... by tpia5: 11:40pm On Apr 28, 2013 |
In short, you have no answer. Cant look it up either. I suspect you're not even nigerian, but just trying to drum up trouble. |
