Holyfield1: -Stop this your jebusite nonsense! that's typical of *b*s -Ijebu is not the largest ethnic group! Ijebus are not larger than Yorubas, Igbos or Hausas -Awolowo was not ijebu, he was remo from ikenne -The first Nigerian to play in the premier league is Efan ekoku Bottom line is the chest beating is unneccessary 2 Likes 1 Share |

macof: Indeed it is. When I think about the colonialists/missionaries, I shake my head because they did a damn good job. They took the slave trade and chains of slavery away but reached for the minds of black women and men - perpetual enslavement. 1 Like |

Aareonakakanfo:Fool, can't u just get sense for once..I am Ijebu,Ilisan which is just a 50 naira bike to Ikenne.....''ijebu is not the largest ethnic group! Ijebus are not larger than Yorubas, Igbos or Hausas''...What is the difference btwn Ijebu and Yoruba....RIYE abi wat is this one saying |
Re: 20 Facts About Ijebu's by Nobody: 12:11am On Jul 25, 2015 |
Holyfield1: Stfu! kneegrow . ilisan is remo not ijebu. there are 33 remo towns. ilisan and ikenne are one of them thief! so because ilisan is close to ijebu in distance makes it ijebu right? if ijebu is the largest ethnic group in nigeria then why categorize it under yoruba again. is yoruba not an ethnic group? and monkey know your history. ijebu is different from yoruba. Ask your foolish king. |

Re: 20 Facts About Ijebu's by Nobody: 2:04am On Jul 25, 2015 |
tawa89: Mofo i'm well versed regarding anything yoruba so mark this name. This one is not about shymexx. its about fact! why wait for shymexx. are your fingers weak? and besides these are not my words. these are awujale's words. tawa's opinion on ijebu doesn't count |
Re: 20 Facts About Ijebu's by macof(m): 11:53am On Jul 25, 2015 |
Aareonakakanfo: Complete nonsense. It's a known fact that remo is under Ijebu as Ibolo is under Oyo And certainly you are a confusionist to claim ijebu is different from yoruba. 2 Likes |

Re: 20 Facts About Ijebu's by Nobody: 3:41pm On Jul 25, 2015 |
macof: This is the problem i have with people who won't get their facts right before typing garbage. Remo use to be under ijebu but not anymore. Remo people today are being ruled by the Akarigbo not Awujale. As regards ijebu and Yoruba well. of all the groups in Yoruba land, ijebu is the only group that has no ancestry with Ife. don't forget remo has. I don't want to go back and forth because i know this is controversial. but i will ask you a question since you claim there's no difference Are ijebus yoruba by blood or by association? |

Aareonakakanfo: I love my ijebu people but d truth is IJEBU LAWUN [stingy] |
Re: 20 Facts About Ijebu's by Nobody: 5:03pm On Jul 25, 2015 |
reallest: I actually have no issues with ijebu people plus i don't really believe in the stereotypes. They're everywhere and have contributed enormously to yorubaland. my real problem is the chest-beating OP who clearly due to his insecurity and "we're different from them" mentality said ijebus are this and that. At first he claim ijebu is an ethnic group and i replied to him that Yoruba is bigger since yoruba is also an ethnic group. he in turn responded to me asking if Ijebu is not yoruba. if ijebu is Yoruba as he's claiming then why make it distinct . why didn't he replace all he said with Yoruba. its people like this that stir up hatred in yoruba land |
