I think that a look at how the Yoruba people valued women prior to the intra-tribal wars would help shed some light on the topic. Perhaps the men have forgotten and their mothers disregarded their place. |

@Ileke-Idi and Dapobear, you guys have the time to argue and reply to what Aloy is saying. Did you happen to see his second name? Its Emeka, can u imagine an Ibo guy come on a thread like dis to say that most Yoruba women are not educated! What a laugh, i hope you do know that your tribe as we all know is the second most uneducated tribe after the northerners, as we all know the northerners seem to be catching up now. I work in the mist of Ibo's and i shake my head at their level of reasoning. For starters they are the most complex pple u can ever associate with, their men crave for we yoruba women, but they know that a yoruba woman cannot take the trash they give their fellow Ibo women. Aloy is here feeling like one local champion, i'm sure in ur clan u must really feel good as u can count those of you that are educated. Your talking about education, when your from a tribe that does not value it. At a young age when they are supposed to be attaining educational development the parents due to poverty wld send their child to Lagos to go slave away for years all in the name of apprenticeship. In ur state how many schools and universities are there, lols, and u talk education to we yoruba pple. Even a yoruba woman selling leaves in the market would make sure her children graduate with flying colours from the university. Let me school you on the difference between a yoruba woman and Ibo woman, a yoruba woman right from time has been taught from the beginning the art of independence, meanwhile an ibo woman is being brought up to think she is the most valuable asset of her family, where by she'd be sold to the highest bidder. A yoruba woman whether her husband is dead or isnt capable any more of being the bread winner would be able to take care of her children. Not so an Ibo woman, she can't because right from the start she has always been a housewive, baby factory and the only thing she know how to do well is cook and be dependent on her husband. When he dies tomorrwo she is left with nothing cos the relatives of the man would come and kick her out and since the woman is usually illiterate, she wouldnt know how to fight for her right, thereby going back to square one with the burden of the kids and all. I could go on and on, as for polygamy or divorce evry woman should be independent, empowered and enlightened. It helps in the preparation of whatever. |

@base 1 There was no need for any stereotype and tribalism and you could have resisted the temptation since you have the gift of free will. |

@Amor4, nope, the truth jes had to be spoken, it doesn't make sense for an individual(s) to come on here talking about things that we see around us with our eyes everyday, trying to make us see otherwise. How can a Nigerian guy come and say in the whole of yorubaland Ekiti women are the most uneducated, it doesn't make sense. I'm an Ondo girl and everyone knows that in the whole of yorubaland Ondo is the state that values education the most, back in the days a house must have at least a professor or that family was looked down upon. It was a taboo to have someone be an apprentice of any trade, it was surely frowned upon. The Ondos just loosened up recently because they got a little bit of enlightenment. Now my point is Ekiti came out from Ondo, and being that we are brothers and sisters we still share the same values. So in essence education has got nothing to do with divorce or polygamy. We need to bring up reasonable points that would enable us learn how to tackle divorce in yoruba land which was what this thread was all about before some dude tried to derail it |

Re: Investigating Divorce Cases In Yorubaland. by oyinda3(f): 9:38pm On Dec 31, 2010 |
the polygamy thing is more common with yoruba muslims. It has more to do with their religion. Although there are many yoruba muslims who are monogamous esp. in lagos. for divorce, I think it's higher among yorubas mostly because yoruba women are very strong headed compared to women of other tribes. like base1 already said, we are generally independent and self sufficient (at least compared to others in the country) so it is easier to walk out of an unsatisfactory marriage. There are many women who stay in polygamous marriages and like it though. marriage is different for everyone. In fact I heard that some rich man might buy a house for each of his wives and provide all her needs. He will visit once in a while. Many women don't mind this independent life in polygamy. |

[size=22pt]Oni, Afe Babalola, Ogunlade, others diagnose Ekiti[/size] February 13, 2010 By Wale AKinola In the 1950s and 1960s, the main agenda of the Ekiti people was education. So high was education on the priority list of Ekiti, then in the Western Region, that virtually every household had a professor. But, with time, the situation changed. The Ekiti people no longer paid attention to education. So bad was the situation in the immediate past that the people now in their own state (Ekiti) were ranked very low in public examinations. Not quite long ago, the state was said to be among the last eight in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The situation was frightening. The state slogan, Fountain of Knowledge, was becoming an anathema. But the man at the helm of affairs in the state, Governor Segun Oni, determined to reverse the situation, said the fortunes of education in the state were returning, thanks to the pragmatic policies of his administration. Oni linked the downturn in education in the state to the peoples poor economic status. “Before, an average Nigerian believed that to every household in Ekiti, there was always a professor or professors. But this trend has gone down because of the poor economic status of our people and that is why we are packaging a scholarship from primary school to the Ph.D level for our people to bring back the old glory,â € the governor said at a parley of the stakeholders of Ekiti where he rendered the account of his stewardship. It was the third of such programme by Oni aptly tagged, â €œState of the State 3″ since 2007 when he first assumed office. www.vanguardngr.com/2010/02/oni-afe-babalola-ogunlade-others-diagnose-ekiti/ |

Re: Investigating Divorce Cases In Yorubaland. by base11(f): 7:29pm On Jan 05, 2011 |
@Ileke Idi, gosh! A hug for you, you so nailed that shitty okoro dude. Lols, you see why i say education is really essential, even to an educated dude like excanny(just assuming, lols, cos the only thing he might be able to do is copy and paste and post a few links,) If he took his time to read thru his post properly he'd see that the educational state of Ekiti was being looked upon and taken seriously, and scholarships were going to be given out to encourage and achieve the dwindling educational glory of the state. Talk of an educated leader. Mr Okoro(s), while your leaders have never for once bothered about the state of education in ur state, other are working on improving theirs. It was said Ekiti was amongst the state that didnt do too well in WAEC, fine, agreed. At least the indigene sat for the exams and definately did well but ofcourse not to the expectations of the Old Ekiti we always knew, we thank God solutions are being proferred for that. In your state how many people wrote WAEC or even made it to Senior Secondary School level, instead while parents of other states (Western) were busy preparing their children for a better future, a future where they could stand up tall and raise their heads high amongst the best and be the best. Your state people were busy preparing their kids for instant gratification and a life of permanent hardship and struggles, a life where they cannot stand up tall and speak for themselves, a life where they are the lowlives of any community they are found in, a life of complex cos they find it so hard to express themselves wherever they are except amongst themselves, so they always keep hating on enlightened people, and now a life of drugs imposed on them by those who are supposed to be their leaders. People don't you just feel sorry for these people, **tears in eyes** life just isnt fair to them! Lols! @Oyinda, you couldn't have said it better, a yoruba woman has the resources to take care of herself with or without marriage. But not like our igbo counterpart, who usually gets elevated by marriage, who has never been useful to herself, one of the main reasons their husbands end up being disgusted by their ability to stay idle and not be productive, well except in the baby manufacturing process cos men! Do they breed like fowls. Yoruba women are just the bomb |
Re: Investigating Divorce Cases In Yorubaland. by excanny: 8:46pm On Jan 05, 2011 |
@ Base 1 The reason why I posted that article was because of this statement you made earlierI back in the days a I was also wondering when the article said that in the 50's and 60's every Ekiti household has at least one professor. Now, my question is, how many people went to school in those days to have resulted in such a claim? Even in this age and time when people have realized the importance of a formal education, I dont think any place in Nigeria has a professor to a family ratio, no? Honestly, I still find those claims hard to believe, except someone comes to prove it. |
Re: Investigating Divorce Cases In Yorubaland. by Nobody: 4:36am On Jan 06, 2011 |
excanny: Dont worry. We Ekitis welcome the analysis of our state. We welcome it and hope that it probes the minds of its citizens to understand the changes, that may be, that have occurred over the years. However, the same changes is occurring in your states and region. This is not to be rude or arrogant, but my own hope is for someone of value to conduct through investigation of your state before it because a drug mafia. You cannot honestly claim that Igbo's integrity of now equates or rates higher than that of the golden days. While Ekiti state might now have the same estimated amount of professors in Ekiti nowdays, it has that many more outside of the state. Ekiti people move around, they, if not the most populations of Nigerians, move to settle out of their states. So yes, education is still our priority, even if we move outside of Ekiti state to accomplish our dreams. base 1: You've said it all |
Re: Investigating Divorce Cases In Yorubaland. by base11(f): 2:32am On Jan 07, 2011 |
@Ileke- Idi, abi o! @Excanny, you can keep on with ur investigations, ur stress. Point is right from the time the yorubas had always valued education, thanks to Mentors like Awolowo who imbibed it into the yoruba people and made it compulsory then, he even offered free education and scholarships. Definately the universities then had those ekiti professors lols, if u do the maths then ul know the article was simply stating a fact. Apart from having professors, a household most definitely had someone in the family who was studying abroad. Abi ileke- idi, isn't it true. Don't mind all these Okoro people, when our leaders were enlightening us, what were their leaders doing? |

All these expressions of tribalistic sentiments, when will we say NO to hatred? It has been said over and over again that humans do not learn from history. Let me remind you that from these sentiments grew the Nazi ideology, genocide in Sudan, genocide in Rwanda, and many more. |
