haha, this thing don they affect my governor again. ekiti part of Biafra, from where to where?

I am sorry for the entire Ekiti people for having a dullard as their governor despite the level of education the Ekitis are known for. I don't know how people like late Prof. Sam Aluko the great Nigerian prof. of economics will be saying of dullard Fayose in his grave today.
I know when the time comes he will come to regret his actions but it all be too late for him to cry.

SIRmanjar:

I am not talking of sacrifice here am talking about there ancestors..where there ancestors migrated from,and again trying to point out there different way of life in terms of food..Ondos and sum part of ekiti eat dog meat back in the days which other yorubas don't. Do your research well,u will see.
I want a peaceful united Nigeria but if we can't live together as one then anybody is free to go.

I get you but you are not getting me and you should. Dog is associated with Ogun which is very popular deity in Ekiti, Edo and Ondo perhaps the reason why they ate it. hmm?
Nigeria is not existing on it's own power otherwise it would have separated since. The universe has us bond and if you're connected directly to the universe like most of us you will see it. Any individual is free to leave Nigeria, tribe, family, club or association to identify with another entity that is also recognized by the universe. Some of us already have a dual nationality some have denounced Nigeria for the other under whatever circumstances. It's no biggie and not new. You grab?

My broda Nothing tactical or sharp about his move......shows how shallow Fayose's thinking is.......

politeboy:
he is looking for every way to escape justice, i think biafra will accept ekiti so that fayose can evade justice and home with his loot. highly tactical move from fayose the sharp guy

Fayose is a biafra tug.

Fayose is just playing with the emotions of the ipods. He knows the very well.and understands their level of reasoning is quite low. They don't engage in critical thinking, only sentiments and emotional gibberish.

If fayose says ipods should forget about biafrua.d tomorrow, same flattinos praising him will curse him to death.

Nah..pounded yam(inyoo) ad dog meat has bin the traditional food of ondo ad ekiti people. other yorubas eat pounded yam but ekiti ad ondos have been eating it for ages.
Mind u Ondo is not a pure yoruba state..Other yorubas copied the food from Ekiti ad ondo.

sorry to burst your bubble but Pounded yam is ingrained in other Yoruba groups as well. The Ijebu and remo people also mastered it as well. There is a special variant of iyan that Ijebu people are well known for as well as other yam dishes like ikokore and ojojo. Mind you, it's not due to influence because they were notorious for their strict isolationism compared to other Yoruba. Foreigners were not allowed to enter their kingdom. Iyan is simply Yoruba. Igbos didn't influence Ekiti culture and it wasn't until colonialism that they were widely known in Yorubaland. The similarities you see is due to correlation. It's a well known fact that Ekiti has a Christian majority with also the highest percentage of Catholics among Yoruba.


oh and as for ondo people not being "pure Yoruba," well I guess you don't know that the some of the oldest Yoruba settlements are not found in oyo, but in Eastern Yorubaland. And you should know that people from ondo speak dialects that are the closest to the original Yoruba language. Even among the distinct Ilaje, there exist the ugbo clan. Many of them would tell you that they are the original Yoruba.

Pomo cutting Clown,u will tell us if u own ekiti state

. Useless gov of my state. How will he not be talking like a drunken man when he rules the state like an emperor. He is the only one that knows the finance of ekiti state. He has no commissioner of finance and accountant general in ekiti state. He is all in all. His sins will find him out when the time comes. Let him do his affiliations to any part of the world. He can not escape justice.

wirinet:
Fayose is just speaking for himself, he cannot speak for all Ekiti citizens, only a referendum can determine whether ekiti people want to join Biafra.
So according to IPOB youths, Ekiti people must decide in a referendum whether they want to continue to be slave of the Fulani or choose freedom with Biafra.

This is the main problem with Nigeria too many real and social media illiterates,nothing like a referendum in the Nigeria constitution or did you not do government in senior secondary school? 2/3 of the senate must approve any exit, 2/3 of each state house of assembly must approve to it and lastly the president must give his consent to it,which in my view is a near impossible task,the military did every thing by decrees that was why they were able to get away with what they did,the last time the civilians or politicians created any state was in 1963 when they carved out the mid western region (former Bendel State)now Delta and Edo States respectively from the old Western region, so those arguing for biafra must be on mental Crack and living a pipe dream,breaking up Nigeria has nothing to do with the president, the constitution has laid down the rules the people just have to apply themselves to the civil procedure if they do really want to exit Nigeria. Start a movement to get the senate to move a motion for secession that is the only way. Brothers go and get a life if you really care about yourself and family and forget these lazy man ideology of biafra.

you are right @ the bolded, in my town (ondo town)
house is Uli
yam is usu

now Uli is the original word for house in Yoruba language

Here we go again..Of course Other yorubas eat pounded yam but they learnt it recently from ekiti ad ondo..Ijebus are known for garri not pounded yam you can ask any elderly ijebu man u know..Who thought the people of ondo and sum Ekitians the act of eating dog meat?There ancestors did..Which were not yorubas.

All the clan u mentioned as the oldest yoruba clan in ondo weren't pure yorubas back then.. They mixed with yorubas from osun ad ibadan and ogun state and I know dip inside you know that.Ok! even if they were pure yorubas back then that means that other tribes from bini,Ijo ad other eastern people migrated there and mixed with them..Through konkwest or maybe as refugees.
Which ever way it goes the bottom line of our discussion,is that they are mixed people because it's a border state..Mind you the word yoruba was first given to the people of oyo state by there hausa and nupe neighbours.

where did he say it. this is why i hate naija bloggers. thunda fire una there

seunmsg:


Oga, stop talking nonsense. I am from Ekiti state and I have absolutely no connection with biafra or ibo people. Fayose can claim biafra for whatever political gains that he can get from it but it should end there. Ekiti people are proudly Yoruba's and they are not connected or related to the ibo's in anyway.

I wish I can give u a million likes

Amarabae:
IPOB will soon release a statement on how EKITI is originally called EKITIOMA, it was changed by lord lugard to Ekiti. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.*hide for cover*

You're a retardd

I personally do not understand Governor Fayose, is this another drama or trying to play politics, I think his radicalism is going beyond normal.

That means the oil and other mineral resources in ekiti belongs to biafrans since the oil in Bayelsa belongs to jigawa.

yepah....Fayose is mad again......maybe na im papa get ekiti

Lol it's obvious Ijebu love their garri and it would be wrong to say that that's the only food Ijebu are known for. I guess you haven't heard of iyan olomi. Ijebu mastered the art of cooking with the water yam which is grown abundantly in the region. Lol dog meat is a regional cuisine, that's all. Yorubaland is filled with regional cuisine.

I laugh at your attempt to distort other people's history. Yoruba expansion was not from west to east but rather east to west. Eastern parts of Yorubaland had the original Yoruba populations and settlements including Ile-ife. Yoruba people expanded in a westward direction. The displaced populations you were referring to were much more recent during the kiriji wars. Yes there are people with mixed origins. In Akoko, there are some communities who acknowledge their Bini ancestry and the Apoi and Arogbo who acknowledge their Ijaw ancestry. However this doesn't change the fact that the oldest Yoruba groups were from Ife-ondo-ekiti axis.

Which ever way it goes the bottom line of our discussion,is that they are mixed people because it's a border state..Mind you the word yoruba was first given to the people of oyo state by there hausa and nupe neighbours

Wrong again!!! The Songhai first gave the first accounts of "Yoruba." it was popularized by the Hausa. It referred to the Oyo empire which made up of Oyo, Ibolo,onko,yewa and igbomina speaking peoples. And in your attempt to distort history you forgot to realize that Igbomina were also referred to as Yoruba. The closest people to Igbomina people are the Ekiti not Oyo.
Next time pick up a book and not regurgitate rumors and self-made theories.

Sammy07:

exactly
uli and usu are also used in Owo.
in the original Yoruba language "u" can be used to start many nouns. This feature is found in Ondo, Ijebu, Ekiti, Ijesa, ife, and as far as parts of Kogi and kwara. For example, in the old yoruba spoken in ife, Oduduwa broken down into odu to da uwa. "uwa" is used instead of iwa.
The people in Ondo state and the adjoining area preserved many of the features from the old Yoruba language such as the u feature as well as Gw, Gh... These were simplified by the Yoruba who migrated westward into I and W respectively.
Another fact you should know is that many of the royal thrones in Ondo state predate Oyo. The Akure and Idanre throne for example predate the Oyo throne by several hundred years.

If yoruba expansion started from the east that means Benins,Ijaws or any eastern group masterminded the movement.
Evry tribe have there own delicacy and ijebus are known for garri..Ekitians taught the ijebus the art of eating Iyan olomi and again dog meat belongs to people of the far eastern part of Nigeria ad you know dem so for that food to find its way into ondo ad ekiti means that it was introduced by the easterners.
Bro hausas not shongai empire gave yorubas dere name..Dont forget that Hausas where under shongai empire.

Very funny thread. I had my fair share of laughter here . Nigeria is made up of irredeemable clowns who think the world revolves around their aspirations.

ONDO state has Easter.n blood.. Their progemator was from the Igbo extraction whose a trader and married a Yoruba man from Ondo...
