owobokiri: They will rather turn the whole of southern Nigeria into another Kwara than confront their colonisers at Ilorin. Witness how some posters above are trying to spin themselves dizzy, making it look like a simple issue. Kwara is an insult cowardly accepted, a diisgrace willfully ignored, a century old sore still festering. [b]Maybe the whole southern Nigeria should contribute troops to free kwara [/b]otherwise the fear of the fulani will always force our SW brothers into all sorts of unholy alliances with far reaching implications for every southern group.

The Emir is more yoruba than fulani, infact it has been that way for a long time but our friends from the east do not know this. Ilorin is a yoruba town and the state is led by a yoruba man.

emmalexabl: That is mission impossible.
When descendants of usman dan fodio conquers you.,u remain a slave til infinity..
knowing yorubas so well, i know they wont dare..

KIRIJI: Is it suffice to say that Lagos is under benin control because the ruling houses of: Eshilokun, Adele-Ajosun, and Akitoye are all descendants of Ologun kutere, the daughter of Ado, a benin prince? Can we also say that Lagos is subjugated by the benins because the Eletu odibo's, Obanikoro's and other king makers in Lagos are descendants of Benin chiefs. CERTAINLY NOT!

ezeagu:

The comparison doesn't show us anything, and for several reasons:

1. The Benin kingdom is far less powerful and influential than the high seat of Sokoto.
2. The Benin kingdom is no longer militaristic and aggressive, unlike elements of the Fulani militias that have terrorised Nigeria recently.
3. The Lagos Benin connection is closer because of culture, and the history is also very old so the families have been assimilated.
4. The politics of both relationships are very different, in present day Nigeria where there exists a dangerous extremist Islamic threat to national security and who are funded by the unknown, and where we have dagger-wielding Fulani farmers decimating communities because of one cow, having a stronghold for a kingdom who are suspected to be even close to these threats in your home is not ideal.

ezeagu:

Democratic Republic of Congo = 5 times the size of Germany.

Irrelevant information.

KIRIJI: Kwara state, just like every other yoruba state has a considerable mixture of christians and moslems. The assertion that kwara state is an islamic state is false, kwara has a huge christian population. Pastor Tunde Bakare is from kwara state, pastor David abioye is from kwara state, Bishop David Oyedepo, the owner of winners chapel and covenant university is also from kwara state.

T9ksy:

But why is it any concern of you Igbos? Don't you guys have better things to occupy your minds with? Like why are your youths deserting your homeland in droves to become nuisances all around the world.

Akinmail:

OYO state's land mass = the whole SE's land mass.


No fighting o. Just stating facts.

superstar1:

You hen. You are too nice to be in politics session. Those Igbos don't appreciate this your gentlemanliness.

They are savages and barbarians and should be treated as such.

Eziachi: Good questions. Ask your brothers Why they are so obsessed with Ikwerre is not Igbo This and That and other nonsense about Biafra make up. while You had Ilorin colonisation to keep them busy.

collynzo2: Saraki ("I am Abubakar Olusola Saraki, but that has not made me a Yoruba man. I speak Yoruba because it is my mother's tongue"

That is called sucking up to your slave master.

Mzsolex: Will this case ever be solved? you should watch when this Emir comes out, na so people go dey fall ontop each other shouting 'sheu' 'sheu'. An Ibo girl new in town then once asked me "why are they calling him eseu" I laughed my arss out. Am telling you those mumu in Ilorin don't wanna be free, they worship that man. Kwara is a notherner state, end of discussion.

Orlando Owoh:
By Igbo do you mean this?

KIRIJI: I challenge all you mischievious ignorant dolts, that claim Kwara is under fulani control, to mention one fulani political office holder in Kwara state. Even if it is a local government ward councillor. I also challenge you to mention one area in the whole Kwara state where the fulbe language is spoken.

Mzsolex: I pray 9ja doesn't disintegrate, but if it does you're a northerner bro 'cuz dat's where they'll throw ur state. No hard feelings

geeez:

The Fulanis will claim Anambra, Nnewi and Ebonyi before they will ever consider laying siege on Ilorin

They know who the real cowards are

They've seen which farmers react when their crops are destroyed by the Fulani herds men's cattle

They know where to draw the line(s)

KIRIJI: I pray Nigeria disintegrates. You havent answered my question; Mention the name of one fulani political holder in Kwara state, mention one area in the whole Kwara state where the fulbe language is spoken. Even at the palace at ilorin, yoruba is the language spoken

Mzsolex: who care's 'bout the language spoken, what am saying is Kwara is a nothern state. answer this question, why is the title of your king referred 2 as 'Emir' and not 'Oba' and 'shue' instead of 'kabiyesi' just like other yoruba lands. Ilorin particularly is sold-out, igbominans and other towns are still better.

Are you suggesting that cowardice is what is driving Tinubu and his co travelers into this alliance with the caliphate?
