Nigeria’s former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has said that he is not Yoruba. Fani disclosed this on Twitter while stressing that the word Yoruba is alien to his culture and not known in the Anago language while revealing that the name Yoruba was derived from “Yoruba” and that it means “shady and unreliable”

Fani-Kayode in his words said the “Yoruba” is alien to his culture and not known in the Anago language while revealing that the name Yoruba was derived from “Yoruba” and that it means “shady and unreliable”.

Two names that the Fulani gave to southerners: "Yamiri", in reference to SE and "Yoruba" in reference to SW. The SE rejected that name but the SW accepted it. The name "Yoruba" derives from "Yoruba" and it means "shady and unreliable". I reject that strange name and label...

.I am not a "Yoruba" or "Yoruba" but an "Omo Karo Jire" or an "Oduduwan" and my lanuage is not "Yoruba" but "Anago". We are what we call ourselves. We are not "shady and uneliable"(Yoruba) and we must not accept names that are given to us by our historical adversaries

Any Omo Karo Jire or Oduduwan that continues to call himself a "Yoruba" is lost and does not know the implications of what he is doing to his own people. He is simply affirming and confirming an insulting label which has deep sinister, mystical and spiritual connotations...

The word "Yoruba" did not even exist until the 18th century and even then most of the tribes of the SW, including the Oyo's, rejected it due to its origin and meaning. The word "Yoruba" is alien to our culture and not known in the Anago language. Oduduwans please take note.

Weed ooooo


Historians, oya come oooooooo

What weed can do


More weed roll it up !

He believes the shii that Yoruba was given to Oyo by Hausa, meanwhile there's no historical evidence to back up this claim

Only Oyo and Northern Yorubas referred to themselves as Yorubas before the 19th century.

It was people like Ajayi Crowther a returning slave who forged a single Yoruba identity amongst the "Aku" "Eku"(Today's modern Youbas) people which included those that referred to themselves as Nago i.e. Nago-jebu (ijebu), Nago-ketu (in Benin republic). Hence, even in Liberia, the indigenous Yorubas of mixed orgin who migrated there long ago still refer to themselves as "Aku" people.

FFK from Osun was never referred to as Nago, they were referred to as Ife.

Hence, Ife hunters who found themselves in Togo today are referred to as Ana-ife or ife-Togo, not Anago or Yoruba.

No wonder

Mad people in government....
Make we come fry fowl teeth for you?

Shady and unreliable

Anyway this is second time i will heard yoruba name was coined by hausa people. I will make a findings about this i will not rebuke him yet.

Too much weed.

What has been seen, cannot be unseen.
Afamed and t9ksy will not like this Sha.

Cc lzaa gmbuharii

yarriba or yoruba i'm proud of them

Ignorance could be a debilitating disease.

FFK and those that defined him should not include YORUBA in their lexicon.

Yoruba has been in existence as a name of a people before Hausa or FULANI became aware of one another.

Amed Baba was the first that we know to put it into writing in Songhai.

Their name truly describes them - UNRELIABLE.

You are absolutely right

Amed Baba even had his own interpretation of Yorubas as unruly people before Hausa gave it their own interpretation.

Fulani were the last set of people to come in contact with Yorubas from the North.

He is correct. It is a known fact that the name "Yoruba" originated from Hausa/fulani's and applied only to Oyo area before British colonialism generalized it to include the rest of the Yoruba speaking people..

Cocaine is indeed a powerful drug.

FFK nawa for you ooo your kinsmen are coming for you

Onijagidijagan:
Yoruba or yoruba i'm proud of them

Yes, courtesy of your royal fulani EMIR and masters

I have always maintained the fact that FFK is a lunatic that needs public pity rather than banter.

Attached is the original writings of the early 18th century that describes the Yoruba people even before the Dan Fodio Jihad. Most people problem is that they don't research and just regurgitate the nonsense online without reading. Only God knows how the lunatic FFK believed the Fulanis named the Yorubas and he keeps churning out the same rubbish through word of mouth.

When exacltly was the first time the Fulani came in contact with the Yorubas? Did FFK not know the first mosque was already built in Iwo in 1655 even before the Fulanis knew their way to the Oyo kingdom?
