Kwara use to have Obas, but it wasn't a Yoruba state, l guess... Igbo state. Today they have Emirates, the Emirs, so your people betrayed your there own to the North?

oh shut up dummy


there's only one known emir in kwara but countless Obas


Ilorin is just one town, and kwara is not exclusive to Yorubas. .. nupe and Bariba have their ancestral lands

in fact yoruba extended to kwara initially by defeating the Bariba and Nupe and taking their lands

2. Yorubas defeated the fulani in present day osun and Oyo

3. Yorubas defeated the ashanti of the present day Ghana and Togo

4. Yorubas defeated the nupe
present day jeba

5. Yorubas defeated the Igbos at ore

kwara war was nt a yoruba tribe war,afonja betrayed oyo empire nd decided to secede nd form his own empire,so he was left alone.afonja fought alone against the whole fulani tribe.its just like enugu fighting against the whole fulani tribe.stop re-writing historyjust to masturbate urself to orgasm due to hatred for yoruba
Don't argue with him, he does not know history.

It would be difficult for any group to defeat a united Yoruba as we have it today.

Those wars lost were fought by dialectal Yoruba groups e.g Ilorin.

With a united army that converged in Ogbomoso, the Fulanis were masacred and pushed by to Ilorin.

In 1843, the Yoruba Infantry led by the Ibadan Bashoruns massacred the invading Fulani marauders (with their Calvary) at Oshogbo. The Fulanis thought because they had blocked Yorubas access to horses that they could deal a death blow on the Yoruba nation BUT the Fulanis didn't realize that the Yorubas had unhindered access to guns from the Dutch, French and British (especially the British).

The battle was not really a battle because the Yoruba infantry MASSACRED the invading Fulanis while having little or no casualities because they stopped all the Fulani warriors from a distance.

Ikeg48:
For months now, I keep seeing yorubas claiming they have won several war throughout history. They have defeated several tribes throughout history. Till this very day ice yet to learn any they have excluding themselves.

I asked this and it became a hard task for them therefore, I open it to anybody. Can someone name the tribes yorubas fought a war with by themselves and defeated.

Some facts
*********
Ilorin is the only place in Kwara where they have Emirs.

Every other part of Kwara has Obas.

Ilorin was a town founded by the Great-grandfather of the slave-born Aare Ona Kankafo (Afonja) who later betrayed the Aalafin because he thought he had a chance of being Aalafin (Afonja's mother was a slave while his father was from one of the ruling houses at that time).

Even with the downfall of Afonja (after his treachery and assasination)... Kwara is still a Yoruba state because at least 70% of the locals are Yorubas...

This topic is not opened for purpose of historical review but rather an attempt to mock and ridridicule Yoruba Greatness.

Topics like this we should always skip.

Nigeria is a geographical and political mix and match of non-matching races of people the colonialists can find in this region, from the highly civilized like the Yorubas to the backward and barbaric like the Igbos. Within this ill-natural composition of political merger the Yorubas have never failed to continously demontrate superior intelligence, brevity, diplomacy and above all balance, even when sometimes others are at favor. In the heat of armed confrontation during civil war Yoruba soldiers stood out and demonstrated skills and put up gallantry at the war front that earned them international commendation. The gallantry of Adekunle defeated Biafra in Port Harcourt and the riverine coast. The savviness of Awolowo weakened and killed the Biafran spirit. The persistence and determination of Obasanjo to eradicate the top echelon of the enemy led to the Biafran General absconding in the dead of the night, saving his own neck and that of his family and leaving his followers to their fate against Obasanjo.

If we go back in history and in the times of Imperial African Kingdoms, this was the era before Nigeria when each race of people determined its fate against ambitious aggressors from nearby and far away kingdoms, the Yoruba was a force to reckon with amongst the Empires of the Soudan Belt. No where in the history of African Empires is Igbo or Ibo listed. In the record of wars and battles between peoples there is no mention anywhere of Ibo.....in fact Ibo is missing in the list of political powers in Africa, regionally or continentally.

So what is the significance of discussing Yoruba Greatness with an unknown, unrecognized, unfound clans of fruit gatherers dispersed on the foot of Udi hills who came into our knowledge through efforts of missionaries spreading the gospel of Jesus?

Yorubas should engage Ibo when necessary and skip them when obvious it is a waste of effort.

May God continue to bless Yorubaland so Ibos will forever find refuge in our land. Without Yoruba where would Ibo be today? From time of Ajayi Crowther teaching them gospel and instructing them on the articles of their language to the time of Tinubu mentoring and injecting them into political administration to develop in them skills in urban and public administration.

May Oduduwa bless my people and prosper them forever, Ase!

Yoruba is The Greatest!!

Correction to some inaccuracies I observed.

There is a response claiming Yoruba defeated Fulani in Osun and Oyo. I am adding that Yoruba defeated Fulani all the way up to River Niger where many of them and their horses were drowned.

Ilorin had never had an Oba, Afonja was not one, and so we omitted installing an Oba in Ilorin. There was no need for it. It was a costly decision.

After the defeat of Fulani from Yorubaland, Ilorin included, and they were sacked upland into Nupe territory, the Moslem jamaah of Ilorin, which comprised of Yorubas, Malians, Fulanis, Baribas were left without a political head. A moslem community cannot exist without a political head. In the vacuum they appointed a Fulani mallam as the Head of Ilorin Jamaa. Years later and without close management from Oyo, the head of the Jamaa eventually was turbanned and given flag as an Emir. This is how Ilorin ended up under Emirate. The Emir of Ilorin cannot trace his bloodline to Dan Fodio like other Emirs in Gwandu, Katsina, Zaria, Kano and so on can because his bloodline came out of an ordinary Islamic cleric appointed into political leadership but ultimately turbanned to solidify Islamic presence in a foreign land.


The other correction is the notion of the Ife classic on Moremi and the Ugbo people.

The people referred in that story is the Ugbo people under the domain of present Oba Akinruntan in Ondo State, and the pronounciation and name is different from the Igbo people of Eastern Nigeria.

OFFA is older than Ilorin and still wear crown till date,Igbomina,Oro,Ibbilo etc wear crown and pronounced as Oba . The only place is still contentious is Ilorin central where Yoruba exist with other groups. They can't come out and be proud to say it that they are from one tribe or the other. The Ilorin Yoruba will tell you that he is Yoruba, that is the difference. And Yoruba still have a lot of stake there till date, go to Kwara site and the prologue you will see is......

It truly amaze me when Ibo men on this forum continue to abuse and use derogatory language on a peole that helped those residents in Yoruba land before,during and after the war... Or do you Ibo had of anyone being killed in Yoruba land of Ibo stock. Yet you will come out here with your half baked brains and churn out unfettered words against your host community. I am of the opinion that most of you that uses foul languages in this forum did pass through one state or the other in Yorubaland one way or the other. Some of you might even be born in Yoruba land still you rant your smelly mouth against a tribe that mean no harm to you.... Anyway Tell your story of Africa conquest .After all Yoruba's Kingdoms are a reference point in today's Nigeria AMD west Africa. Let Ibo tell us their story.. Lobatan

You ask your mothers what Benjamin Adekunle did to Ojukwu, the Biafran army, your parents and grand parents during the Biafran war.

Whoever started this topic got more than he bargained for.

What Yoruba parents were too shy to discuss and even apologized for have now been provoked by children looking for the spoil of war from Yoruba children.

Please note that this generation has been pushed to the limit. They have no choice but to fight back.

Nevertheless, there are Yoruba and Igbo embarrassed by these dirty but necessary and provoked history.

Why would anyone dare Yoruba known throughout world history?

The igbos were better warriors with the Abam warriors being so skilled that they were hired to fight in the igala-jukun war. The Yoruba were also very strong through the oyo empire but without horses their army was essentially useless it was the Igbo that mastered battle on foot with spears and muskets in the forest. Both sides influenced the Benin empire although the yoruba influence is more soundly pronounced in the Bini religion.
