Fulanis are dead flies in illorin. They are cowards, no one is afraid of them.
Saraki is the major stumbling block, if he dies, the alliance of Fulani to Ilorin dies.
Yorubas will correct the mistake of Alimi no matter how long it takes

ballerin:
It will shock you. The era of emir in Ilorin is coming to an end. The people of ilorin will practice Islam with a Muslim Oba on the throne of their fathers.

Absolutely @ballerin!

The Egbas ALONE were able to defeat Dahomey
3 good times in the 1800s. Ibadan military
might also defeated the Fulani/Yoruba Muslim
forces in Osogbo,
Otun-Ekiti, and some other battles towards
the borders between Osun and Kwara where
the "Fulani" were defeated again.

But Ibadan was also fighting other Yoruba
subgroups on other battlefronts. If the Yoruba
had not been suspicious of one another after
the rumblings in the Oyo Empire... and the
had combined their forces based on the
sophisticated weapons that they had( Schneider
Guns and Cannons/Gun powder), they would have defeated any invader with ease and taken
the war to Sakwato (Sokoto).

Stop spreading hate speech and trying to caused confusion among yorubas. Yorubas are not confused, they are smart enough to know that religion is personal. Else don't have identity crises we are just more liberal and more bonded by our ethnicity than any other ideology

HomeOfMe:
You àre very right. I was chatting with a northern customer of mine at a major market in Lagos who sells,yams.We were arguing about the price of things and I said,"Sebi na your brother be president?".he got very angry and said,me I no be Fulani,I be Hausa,he no be my brother. Let me just leave out other things he said.

babacletus:
Notice how these tread (Yoruba vs Fulani) is filled with comments from sotherners, but not a single Fulani, speaks a lot about that group's tactics, the Igbos are learning quick sha, destroy this yoruba-fulani relationship

Mogidi:
Wow! This is super!
This is why Buhari remains Tinubu's Alimi?

The fear of Alimi is the beginning of wisdom so they say at Bourdillon road Ikoyi. .

You have spoken the bitter truth about the Hausas. It may shock you to know that am one of them. The fulanis used religion to dethrone our Hausa kings and my people stupidly allowed it. Till world's end I refuse to accept Fulani dominance over me, it may not change anything but still I'll pass this truth down my line. The Hausa culture is almost dead due to this nonsense, what we have today is fulani culture portrayed in dances and Islamic monarchs dressed like Arabs. The Amirs have replaced our Sarakuna. Very few people know the original Hausa culture like our one week long traditional weddings, harvest festivals, e.t.c. I wish I can turn back the time and give sense to my people just before the Dan Fodio Fulani Jihad, the world would have known the real Hausa man and not the zombies we have today.

TEEBLUE88:
Nowenure... You are sooo on point, am from southern kaduna. we were told that when our fathers were under zazzau(zaria) emirate, they MUST submit a parcentage of all their harvest(just like tithe) to the then emir of jema'a(kafanchan) who is directly under the emir of zazzau plus bundles of grasses(meant for roofing tatched houses) every year, they would trek from the lenth and breadth of southern kaduna to do so . they were literally slaves in the own land. THANK GOD FOR THAT GENERATION THAT FOUGHT FOR US, the Afonjas must get this, that for them to reclaim their throne, BLOOD MUST FLOW!

ballerin:
Saraki is not fulani, he has no fulani ancestry. stop arguing needlessly.
I have had a number of encounters with ikwerres & their reactions to being Igbo isn't a pretty sight.

Actually Yoruba muslims should show us where this mosque was located in Osun 500yrs ago and how they have been practicing Islam with facts, from history books in Nigeria we where told that Usman dan fodio came to Nigeria and spread Islam from the North to northern fringe of yorubaland, that is why Islam is found more at the northern part of yorubaland and it decreases downward to Ondo and very small in Edo where it terminate. Christianity increases from Eastern Nigeria down to Yorubaland also and the north.

Fulani people also boast about how they introduce Islam to Yorubas openly without any objection in any manner both written or verbally from yoruba muslims, one notable Fulani man even said it openly in an interview media chat that when they came to Ilorin that they kill the locals and force them to abandon their Idol worshiping and embrace Islam, it is all there in national newspapers.

poseidon12:


And you took him serious? Do you think that all those poor Northerners shouting Sai Baba are Fulani? They are Hausa, Kanuri, Nupe, Gwari. Come 2019, they will still vote Buhari.

TheKingIsHere:

Well, from what I read from history, the fulanis will first appear as if they are your friends. They will behave and make you believe that they mean no harm, after which they will strike.

The fulanis did it to the hausas. They also did it to the yorubas.

Most of the lands the fulanis are currently occupying in the core north belonged to the hausas.
The fulanis came like innocent visitors before launching jihad on the hausas.

As for Afonja, he wanted to win a war against his fellow yoruba so he sort help from the fulanis (his biggest mistake).

He(afonja) won the battle with the help of the fulanis but lost the war, their lands, their throne to the same fulanis that were supposed to help them

Nowenuse:


Saraki could actually be hausa or fulani by ancestry. Is Saraki a Yoruba name? No it's not. It is a corruption of the name SARKI, (which means king in Hausa). So, how come the name?

Nowenuse:


Nupe and gwari muslims will still vote Buhari again of course. They have lost their identity to islam. However, the christians among them will not. Kanuris and hausas value Islamic bond more than anything, so, no need to even consider whatever they say.

The only muslims in Nigeria who do not play politics with religion are the yorubas and Igalas. Ebira muslims are just like nupe muslims, islam means more to the majority of them.

Nwades:
Nnamdi KANU said and I quote " Yoruba's are cowards" Nnamdi is known to be right in most cases, could he be right again?

hes right nnamdi kanu (husein Bolt) the brave warrior that ojukwued.

Nowenuse:


Wow! Am shocked to see a hausa man being as open as you are.
I highly doubt you are a muslim hausa. Perhaps you are a Christian Maguzawa hausa. If not, then, am shocked!

However I believe it is not too late. You can still do something for your people, no matter how small or minimal it is, don't just throw in the towel.

Sometimes I get so frustrated at my own people (middlebelt and northern minorities), at the docility, foolishness and identity confusion and uncertainty of our people, but I don't think I would easily give up without a fight.

In the future, I hope to form a very strong group to mobilize our people together and redefine a new identity and consciousness for them.

Nowenuse:


Those ones are fulanis or partly fulanis or hausas or nupe by ancestry. Don't be deceived by the fact that they speak yoruba or have yoruba names. They are bot of yoruba origin.
The pure yorubas of Afonja lineage will never claim to be fulani or accept the tag

ballerin:
You're daft. Religious correctness is a mere charade, a tool to corrupt the tribal identity of the people just as the case of Hausa/Fulani bullshit. A Yoruba is a Yoruba while a Fulani is a Fulani no matter the religion.

me69:
From your story fulani is evil while afonja is kind-hearted. You are nothing but a tribal and religion bigot

Windflower:
This is long overdue,am tired of people referring to me as non Yoruba because am from kwara state. I have to start explaining history to them

ayoxelee:

Exactly, But those pure Yorubas are minority in Ilorin, majority of people in Ilorin have either Fulani, Hausa or Nupe lineage.

abdulwastecx:


How can pure Yoruba be few in Ilorin when Ilorin was originally a pure Yoruba village?
Majority of Ilorin indigene are pure Yoruba while majority of her elite are hybrid Yoruba-Nupe-fulani-hausa.

In terms or heritage, Tue largest group are Yoruba, followed by Nupe, then borqu people of kebbi, then Fulani, then very small Hausa.

Looking at the location of Ilorin you will know that it will be easier for immigration from Yoruba heartland than immigration from far away kano, sokoto etc. The Oyo's are a majority in Ilorin

ayoxelee:

Are you from Ilorin or d u have a very close person from Ilorin

Adebowale89:




small sense you know get, you lack comprehension that's if at all you read the article. what am I even saying will u read the article and come back to ask baby class QST

Yoruba lost Ilorin due to the traditional political disagreement btw the king of Oyo empire then and afonja and their over accommodating led them to loose the Royal control


the man said Fulani don't forgive, like say Igbo do forgive too. no other region would tolerate any region settlement again after what befall them in the past but here are still many igbos running down to southwest for settlement and doing eze ndigbo in another's man land



if you don't even like that region, respect them for over tolerating and heart of forgiveness. as bad as Igbo tagged Muslim, I still feel safe with Yoruba Muslim than the unforgivable igbos

Puffydon1:
Kwara means Palm tree in Hausa language .
Why is it that the State was not named after the Yoruba's if truly they owned the state
