Offa is why Ilorin Emirate did not extend Southward into present day Osun. What are you talking about? Which history?

Offa is the force that joined with Ibadan warriors to defeat Fulani.

They executed Yorubas in the Ilorin camp and drowned Fulanis and their horses as they fled the firestorm.

Offa is in Kwara....not every traditional title in Kwara is in the Emirate.

Offa has its own Oba Council...separate from Ilorin. It has never been under the Emirate....before or after Bamigboye.

You keep saying Christians will free Ilorin, was Mohammed Lawal a Christian?

No one has ever come close to toppling Emirate as Governor Lawal.

I said a Christain governor will free Asa, Moro & Jebba from Ilorin Emirates area of influence like David Bamigboye did with Offa allowing offa to have its own seperate council

The person that will free Ilorin is Ilorin people themselves

The Fulani Elites introduced Saraki to the local politics and held on tight by consistently providing muslim friendly yoruba government

It has nothing to do with christianity. I maintain, you do not know Ilorin or the Kwara people.

We have had two Christian rulers, Obj and Gej and yet persecution of Southern Kaduna persists under their watch.

What is a Christian governor going to do to remove Emirate in Ilorin?

Do you know who Mohammed Lawal was?

He was a direct descendant of Afonja.

You need an insider, a descendant of those that feel cheated in the power imbalance to ascent Governorship and get backing of the central govt.

Gov Lawal had eroded the Emirate's power so far that if he had secured another term the Emir would have been history.

Thats who you need, an insider....not someone from outside the family.

A governor comes in and grades the traditional rulers and take their jurisdictions out of Ilorin.

Next regime is another governor, he puts them back under Ilorin.

He is succeeded by one that separates them.

He is in turn succeeded by another that puts them back.

If your point is that Christianity is the rescue, you are misreading Kwara politics.

In fact Lawal, a muslim, did far more damage to Emirate than did David, a christian. Both were ex-military.

The upgrading , downgrading, upgrading, downgrading has been going on a long time. Its not a solution since a sitting governor can simply reverse what his predecessor did. See attachments.


Since 1999 there has not been a single christian governor. Kwara will be lucky to get christian governor succeed christian governor once....but will not happen twice. When it does happen....whatever anti Emirate policy they install will be dismantled when another muslim comes in.

Use facts on ground, not emotions, to understand Kwara politics.

See how the LGs have been tossed back and forth between successive govts.

What they need is an elimination of Emirate itself. That was Lawal's mission.

MetaPhysical

A legislation in the state's house of assembly should stop the back and forth. A willing governor sends a bill to the house of assembly and assist it to be passed, he then signs it into law. Overturning this would be an herculean task for any subsequent government.

Osaze007

The problem is not religious! There are lots of liberal muslims and muslims who don't like status quo in Ilorin, but lack political will from the successive governors in Kwara state. Getting a Christian governor in Kwara is close to impossible for now, and even if one manages to get there, would he want to risk rocking the boat? The military men were in a better position to change things. This their governor would even be more scared of doing the right thing, because he knows a Bukola Saraki is on his tail.

One thing am certain of is that the breakup of Nigeria would fix things. Fulani people would then be dished their own poison. They have amassed so many enemies, to the extent that in some west African countries, they are either killed on sight or arrested.

Are you from Ilorin? If no, then keep shut. I am from Ilorin and I know my history.

What is your history?
Everybody knows that Fulanis arrival in Nigeria is not up to 250 years.
Some Fulanis and Hausa who fled from the North,were formerly slaves in the Oyo Empire.

Why would anyone who really wants the good of his/her people be scared of death or reelection? These guys risk their life in politics but they are scared of carrying out the right thing? Anyway, one day the state would have someone who has something upstairs!

I don't know why you are all saying this.The problem was the godfather of Kwara politics.The senior and junior who has been cut down now.
They have done everything to portray Kwara especially Ilorin as a Gambari state.

It is because Saraki does not have influence like before that I think anything that will bring real growth can be done.
This emir in Ilorin will be the last.

MetaPhysical:


Bamigboye tried.

Mohammed Lawal was not Christian and he is the only one that has come closest to uprooting the Emirate.

If what Lawal did was today the Emirate will be history.


Ilorin people are made to believe that it is sinful to identify as an ethnic person. The person that does so stabs his Islamic brothers in the back and will not enter Al Jannah.

This Al Jannah....they have painted all kinds of pictures of it to enslave people and make them fearful of stepping across the line.

Ilorin muslims are slowly waking up. Little by little....

They will rather identify as muslim first, a Northerner second, then a Yoruba third.

The Emirate send preachers to read Quran and constantly remind them of the hellfire that kafirs will be put in. Any muslim who supports others against his muslim brother is a kafir.

So an Ilorin muslim must support a Northerner against his Yoruba brother. If he does npt he will burn in hellfire when he dies.

For a long time this was the program. Butlike i said Ilorin people are slowly realizing that its all lies and bullshyyte....so you have many of them now speaking up and opposing the Emirate.

The Emir himself is scared and full of anxiety that this throne is about to fall. If not in his lifetime....soon after.

I thought you are a Muslims, why are you speaking against Islam? Be careful mr.!

Very solid point!

What you suggested is a workaround the useless back and forth executive orders to grade and suspend grading.

If the House of Assembly passes it becomes law and is sustainable....but the Emirate will use backdoor to sneak in allies that will use a followup law to thrash it.

APC is not going to remain in power in perpetuity, if an opposition that is supported by the Emir comes in they will reverse the law.

So what we avoided in the executive will now repeat in the legislative.

You have a solid point...but do away with the Emirate and this problem is solved permanently!


Read this to get idea of certain stakeholders that have sold Ilorin to the North even in modern days. They work against their fellow Yorubas because they are allied with North. These type of people work behind the scene to thwart any movement for regionalism or restructuring.... I call them Northern spies and agents in our midst in Yorubaland.....

Lawal to Saraki: Don't Use OPC for Cheap Politics
>From Kayode Abdulwahab in Ilorin

Governor Muhammed Lawal of Kwara State yesterday said there was no
threat to the state's security from the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC),
warning Second Republic Senate Leader, Dr. Olusola Saraki to stop
raising false alarm meant to score cheap popularity.

He also warned Saraki not to create unnecessary problems between the
North and Yoruba in the state.

Lawal was speaking with a three-man delegation of the Arewa
Consultative Forum (ACF) on a visit to the State. Members of the
delegation are Major General Abdullahi Shelleng, former military
governor of old Benue State, Chief Gabriel Aduku and Air Commodore
Bernard Banfa, former Managing Director of Nigeria Airways.

He said as chief security officer of the state, "I declare with the
entire weight of my office and the entire weight of the people of
Kwara State behind me, that there is no OPC threat in Ilorin and
there is none in Kwara State."

Saraki had last weekend in Katsina vowed that the current threat by
the OPC to invade Ilorin, the state capital would be repelled,
saying no part of the state will be annexed to the Southwest.

The former Senate leader who was in Katsina at the head of an Arewa
Consultative Forum delegation said Kwara State has never been part of
Western Nigeria and nobody had the power to take it to the West.

He specifically referred to moves to install a Yoruba Oba for Ilorin,
vowing that there is no way for anybody, even the OPC to use force to
install an Oba in Ilorin because the town has never been ruled by an
Oba.

But Lawal described Saraki's statement as an attempt to cause inter
ethnic disaffection by "knocking two major ethnic groups' heads
against each other in the name of politics."

The governor said he was sure the Turaki of Ilorin would not
"condescend to score cheap political point especially at his home
base, he will not condescend to team up with mischief makers and
enemies of God, he will not condescend to the level of knocking two
major ethnic groups' heads against each other in the name of
politics, he will not condescend to the level of throwing peace,
harmony and dialogue into the winds in the pursuit of any
ambition."

Lawal however, said that although Kwara would remain a northern state,
it would work for the peace and tranquillity of the North along with
other parts of Nigeria.

Lawal said as the only authority to ascertain any threat to peace in
the state in view of his position as governor, he was certain there
was no threat whatsoever from the OPC in the State.

He said since Saraki also has his own ethnic group, he would not want
to knock his head against where his root is, pointing out that
insinuation of OPC threat would only create unnecessary tension in a
state where there is none.

Leader of the delegation, Major General Shelleng (rtd) had earlier
told the governor that his team was in Kwara to meet with interest
groups and government on the need to support the ACF and its
activities.

An OPC leader, Mr. Ganiyu Adams had at the weekend promised to lead
his organisation to install a Yoruba Oba in Ilorin. While addressing
a large crowd of OPC supporters in Ilorin, Adams, who was accompanied
by OPC coordinators in Ogbomosho, Oyo, Akure, Osogbo and Ekiti said
his group's faith in the success of their mission was unshaken,
adding that they were doing it "not for us alone, but for future
generation of our race."

According to him, "for a long time, the Fulani had, with the active
connivance of some few individuals, dominated Ilorin and subjugated
our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. They have cried without
nobody to their rescue. They have exhausted judicial and administrative
means to wrestpower from these Fulani feudal lords but to no avail but
now, we the Oodua Peoples Congress are ready to go the extra mile to
assist our people."

Adams stated that all stakeholders in the Yoruba Obaship issue have
been sensitised and prepared for the installation, which he said
would be done in grandeur.

It would be recalled that about a fortnight ago, the 19 northern
governors after a meeting, advised the OPC to hands off Ilorin. The
advice was however, dismissed by Adams at the weekend. Saraki, whose
position tallied with that of the Norhern governors and the Ilorin
Descendant Progressive Union (IDPU) made his declaration as a leader
of the ACF delegation touring north west zone of the country in Katsina
during a courtesy visit to the state governor, who was represented by
his deputy, Alhaji Ahmed Tukur Jikamshi.

According to Saraki, Kwara State has never been part of Western
Nigeria and nobody has the power to take the state to the west
because from time immemorial, Kwara and Ilorin its capital, belong
to the north and not Western Region as some people wanted to be
claiming.

He expressed surprise that some group called OPC wanted to install
an Oba in Ilorin wondering "how is it possible for an organsation
such as OPC to try to annex Kwara and Ilorin to the west. Such move
will never be possible in this country," he said.

The APP leader contended that Kwara and Ilorin are one and will
continue to be part of the north and it is going to be so for ever.
He said those agitating that Ilorin should have an Oba instead of
Emir were day dreaming and should stop such dream in their own
interest.

He then declared, "not one inch of Kwara and Ilorin will ever go to
the west and those campaigning for such move should stop it."

It would be recalled that Lawal and Saraki, the man believed to be
his political godfather, had been engaged in a running battle over
control of their party, the All Peoples Party (APP), in the state;
a crisis that at some point degenerated into violent confrontations
between the supporters of the two politicians.

However, a reconciliation between the two men was announced some days
back after Prince Abubakar Audu, the Kogi State governor intervened.
Lawal had risen from the meeting promising never again "to allow the
devil to use him against his political godfather."

The Lokoja peace meeting was also followed by another meeting in
Ilorin where elders of the town were said to have tried to force a
truce between the two men.

llakes4real,

It was Senior Saraki, Olusola, speaking in that article.

His son, Bukola repeated the same in last election and accused O to Gee movement of attempting to ally Kwara to SW. He said it should be opposed, Kwara remain Northerner. He then accused the current governor who was a candidate then of an agenda to depose and wipe away the Emirate.

In the background, Northern Emirs are actively backing survival of Emirate in Ilorin. When we have a Northerner in Presidency....they use him as a proxy to reinforce fulani in Ilorin. This is the case with recent nomination of Gambari as Chief of Staff to Buhari.

Gambari accepted a position below his rank but politically expedient to bring central force into play and stall and destroy forces opposed to the Emirate.

Governor Abdulrazaq has done wonderfully well in Governing the State, I doubt he will get a second coming....even though he has earned it and should get a landfall victory.

The fear is that once Buhari leaves a succeeding Yoruba in center will boost Abdulrazaq to try things openly that are currently kept hidden under cover.

I am an adept of Kwara politics. There are things there not worth bringing here to public. The Emir of Ilorin knows and Gwandu knows that something is brewing underground in the inner circle of the Emirate. They cant lay their fingers on it but it keeps them restless nonetheless.


Kwara Emirate did not come from Sokoto by the way, its from Gwandu. Thats another topic for another day.

Anyone relying on am a Muslim or a Christian who lose out, because there are so many people who are educated enough to see them for the scam that they are.

Osaze007:

You are not seeing anything! It is a problem extremism and politicking. Do you think a Muslim like Bukola Saraki is an extremist? The man married a Christian wife (you should learn this from people like him). He keeps playing on the side of the emir because he wants favour from those he feels are the most powerful in the country, and not because he his some extraordinary Muslim. Study things properly before jumping to conclusions.

One thing you should learn is that, Religious extremism wouldn't take you anywhere in Yorubaland! Everyone is merged into each other. Imagine being born in a family where your Father practice Yoruba religion, your mom is a Christian, and your best uncle is a Muslim. What can anyone tell you against your people's religion?

Take a look at the last election in Oyo state and see for yourself our Yorubas think. I would argue that that Oyo state is predominantly Muslim (I haven't carried out any survey, just a calculated guess). Seyi Makinde, whose religion I don't know (I won't assume he is a Christian!) beat his opponent who trying to play the religious card (the APC man was campaigning with a Muslim middle name). Mind you the incumbent governor was Muslim in public (this is very important in Yorubaland ), but his wife is a Christian!

David Bamigboye might not have been a Christian as you assumed -- bearing an English name doesn't mean you're a Christian.
