For now they can stand firm with their Northern masters but when push comes to shove they will discover they're standing alone. The Yoruba's should be grateful to Fayose for standing his ground and not allowing them all to be sold to slavery entirely.

The 3 top public figures representing Yorubas---- Obasanjo, Tinubu and Oba Akiolu... While Tinubu is corruption personified and Oba Akiolu has a leaking mouth... Obasanjo is corrupt, has a leaking mouth and has destroyed his own family with his incestuous nature. How can a man sleep with his Son's wife

Anyway i repeat again, the only thing the Yorubas have over any region from the south is population, e nor pass like that. Their hatred for other tribes apart from their Northern masters is appalling to say the least.

So who are the 3 idiots representing ndi Igbo?

Not all yoruba are from oduduwa. The oduduwa story is created by 'WE' oyo to show supremacy, and this story was propagated by the likes of samuel johnson and co. If you check earlier writings like lagos census you will notice that it is only OYO that is call yoruba and others were represented with their own name too like the ijesa,igbomina, ekiti,ijebu etc there is even evence that it was the hausaa/fulani jihad that named the oyos 'Yoruba' which later change to 'yoruba'. To those that believe in oduduwa story what are you going to call the ekitis that never appear in the history of yoruba but appear in the more-guilded Ifa literary corpus that even oRunmila once lived and ruled before going s
What do you know about history and ekiti people. I am an indegene of ekiti. Or do you know the origin and history of ekiti people more than the ekitis and their traditional ruler s who are the real custodian s of their historical origin? Or you just want to believe what white men and politics want you to believe? For your information, every ekiti Obas agree and share in the history of how their communities came to be that they migrated from ile ife. No one can rewrite their history. You don't start propagating what is untrue of a people you know nothing about just because you read what some gullibles want you to believe away from reality. When you want to know the origin of a people, you ask the traditional ruler of such communities. Ok?

IF YOU ARE NOT IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW TALL YOU ARE NOBODY NOTICE YOU WHEN YOU PASS. BUT IF YOU ARE HIGHLY INDISPENSABLE, NO MATTER HOW SHORT YOU ARE EVERYBODY NOTICE THE SLIGHTEST MOVE YOU MAKE. YORUBAS ARE HIGHLY INDISPENSABLE, THAT IS WHY THE HATERS WANT TO DIE. IF THEY LIKE LET THEM LOVE US, IF THEY LIKE LET THEM EXPONENTIATE THEIR HATRED FOR US. THEY ARE BORN TO HAVE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ON YORUBA ISSUES, LET THEM CONTINUE HATING WHILE WITH CONTINUE MOVING AHEAD. I WOULD HAVE BEEN CRYING BY NOW IF IM NOT A YORUBA.

To be honest it's now I realised goats are plenty in NL no wonders big guys hate coming here for anything so pathetic indeed.

Someone just did a write up about a tribe called Yoruba in just a second my own people quickly digress it to tribal rants. I can even read an Idoma guy even talking abusing the Yoruba it's Unbelieveable people are talking a idoma person(are they not the agatu and igala people) too is talking so funny indeed I won't go further on that anyway.

Guys the poster of this thread has done no wrong and the thread is not about hate it's simply piece of information if you don't like it snub it and give us your tribe history or jump to something else it's not by force to talk Ok.

Tifnubu is a thief yes, OBJ is corrupt yes according to a guy here but yet same people from.my region are saying igbo did not vote wisely, same people carrying witchcraft broom around, same people saying in apc we stand, same people want Okorocha by all means and yet yoruba are bad, Tifnubu is corrupt, OBJ is bad and yet my people still carry broom please what is the common sense in your hate for these people absolutely nonsense. I know I have pour salt on their wound but I don't care mine is anyone that preach hate against yoruba or igbo here I will stand against him or her.

get your history well, yoruba has been existing before oduduwa came.

Really shows he was banished,yet his son lineage still rules benin up till date#Figure that!

bro/sis you never negate my point. I never said I know the history of ekiti better than you. What I am saying due to military and political power the oyos has over the ekiti before the ekiti parapo war has made the Oyo to distort history to prove their superiority and 'pureness'. Go and read samuel johnson, youw will think ekiti is not 'existing' prior to the rise of Ibadan. Ekiti is one of the 'pureress' yoruba tribe because of the terrain in that part of the country which make ekiti an enclave but we oyo treat them less before the ekiti parapo. If you go to the babalawo for consultation, you will hear them chanting ese-ifa or ayajo, and in these literary corpus you will hear them talking about ekiti and orunmila and other Gods telling you how old the ekiti is but in the oduduwa history Ekiti is neglected for the powerful kingdom 'then'

It's so sad that Nairaland is now a forum to spread hate, tribal and religious propaganda. A tread intended to educate has turn into tribal war zone. That's why the section I enjoy most on Nairaland is the romance and sexuality section because most times its free from religious and tribal sentiment. The funny thing I noticed from most of the comments is that the Igbos hate the yoruba's. Because yoruba ppl chose to vote for Buhari in 2015 doesn't make them the devil. Where were the haters when the Yoruba ppl voted massively for GEJ in 2011. That didn't make the Yoruba's slaves to the south in 2011. Am youruba but I don't hate any Igbo man. But I prefer to do business with a hausa man a hundred times. Because they are straight forward and trust wordy. Even my Igbo friends in the north love it here and can't cope with the lies, cunny behaviour and Dubious character of their ppl when they go back home. They see them as outsiders. An Igbo man doesn't trust his kinsman. My Igbo brothers Yoruba ppl don't hate Igbo ppl.

I heard the same story while I was in Edo state also, but it is obvious that oduduwa never migrated from Benin. Its just a mean to gain more importance, same way the Yorubas believe that it was Oranmiyan who founded Benin. He might be from either Mecca, Sudan or Egypt
at the rate people love to claim Oduduwa
He could even be from China grin grin
