The OP has tried. If there are gaps, its only human to err. However, the major problem of Kwara state is Ilorin-Islam conspiracy. If you are not first from Ilorin or second a Muslim, you will be marginalised in terms of employment or political relevance. Thanks to the sarki dynasty. The whole state is impoverished because everything of value is situated/sited in Ilorin. I respect Offa people, they are the only community group that seems to be able to face Ilorin. The Igbominas are too divided religion wise to make any stand. If you are not a politician in Kwara state you are poor. I hope those who are not from Ilorin will wake up to develop their own area. This can only be done if they unite especially the Ibolos and Igbominas. Let no one come to you saying "Eyin omo 'iya mi" 4 Likes |

fratermathy:alimi is not the son of usthman dan fodio, both fulanis but not related, alimi's son swore allegiance to the caliphate after he deposed the rulers of ilorin, also Afonja was not the founder of ilorin, to the myth that ilorin is a mixture of fulani and yorubas, thats not so true, most of the elites less than 10% of the population are fulanis, just like fulanis rules Nupes, Kano hausas, Igalas in the name of Islam, thats the same situation in Ilorin. 1 Like |

Pattybm: It's been up to a year since I last visit kwara but I can tell you most of the roads I see there are bad. You need to see the roads that link oro to offa. Then you will know what I'm talking about. The state government is trying but what the sarakis family did to that state is too bad |

Nice article @ op but ur statement that : 'However, Omu-aran has one of the best electricity supply in the whole state. Omu-aran has at least 20 hours of light on a good day' is highdoubtable because Jebba in Moro LGA has at least 21 hours on a good day( probably because of the presence of Jebba Hdyro Power Plant in the town and the now -moribund Nigeria Papermill). U also didn't lay much emphasis on the relatively low cost of buying foodstuff in the state. |

moneybag100: Kwara state is trying but not up to. The companies are not really vibrant as not everyone both visitors and residents are aware of these companies. Most of these companies are just patching up. Coca-Cola has left Kwara state. |

fratermathy: The best you could do is to ignore "YourNemesis" as he called himself. . Ilorin of old is divided into quarters i.e. Yorubas quarters, Hausa/Gobir quarters, Fulani quarters, Kanuri, Nupes and other tribes quarters. . If he indeed knows Ilorin as much, he wouldn't deny that very few family houses could be ascribed to Yorubas and I mean no disrespect, yet many more of Fulanis including the ruling family houses and few to the remaining tribes. . Because everyone speaks Yoruba, hence its easy to be fooled that the majority are of that ethnic stock, but like every other territories ruled/conquered by Fulanis, Fulfude isn't used as lingua fraca except for the likes of Adamawa, most often, language of the community or its environ is adopted and in this case, Yoruba, being the language of conquered territories south of Ilorin. . Lastly, ethnic ownership of the town is rarely debated as the binding force of the different tribes in the town is far greater than ethnicity i.e. the Love of Islam. Yes you would find Yorubas especially from SouthWest fighting for claims on historical ground with help from a few agitators from the town, most of whom are politically disadvantaged. . You did a great job and I love it. 1 Like |

fratermathy:Good write up but some facts are not true: Offa is the head of Ibolo and not Igbomina which under Ajase, Oke Oyi is a separate and distinct Community, Ilorin is not predominantly Fulanis but Yorubas (it is only the ruling class that are predominantly Fulanis) |
Re: 10 Interesting Facts About Kwara State by Bollove: 6:31am On Jul 16, 2016 |
fratermathy:Oga, I am from Offa and we are not Igbomina, our dialect is Ibolo which is spoken in communities both in Kwara and present day Osun states ... Offa is the headquarter of Ibolo communities. Kindly adjust your Op, because we Offa are not Igbomina.... the remaining communities you mentioned are Igbomina but Offa is never Igbomina. Offa and Igbomina are both Yoruba speaking communities in Kwara State and both are located in Kwara South.... But never classify Offa under Igbomina, it is academically and Politically wrong.... Offa is one community which is the headquarter of Ibolo dialect of Yoruba, Igbomina is a tribe in Yoruba ethnicity that can be found in Kwara and Osun state just like Egbas or Ekitis. Offa is never part of Igbomina land and Igbomina is never Offa. |
