Having a discussion with you is repulsive, you fucking Muslims need to be recovert the religion is a plague..... We dont want it in Southern nigeria

If not for the yoruba Christians who still see you guys as brothers, on a norms you guys have no business with the southerners, you all belong to North just like kwara and kogi

Foolish dirty hausa-yoruba people

You guys are the sellout, we are having in Southern nigeria, the igbos were right, you all need to be reconverted or grouped alongside with the north we need no Muslim in d south here.....


Maybe henceforth before i have a discussion with a Yoruba person, i will first ask if he or she is a muslim, and if yes, there be no discussion from me.....


Maybe i will have to take a pictures of your yoruba muslim sisters and brothers in idp camps in benin, if dem nor tell you say dem b yorubas u will easily mistake them as hausas or fulanis

For your information, I’m a Christian from Ibadan and we love our Muslim brothers equally
Tribe before religion over here oloribu omo

For you Dundee afofungbemu to even mention north that my forefathers killed so many in osogbo and old Oyo as our brothers shows how empty, dull senseless worthless you are just like your afofungbemu senseless worthless oba of Benin

In Oyo state, we have 50 50 has regards Christian and Muslim and Oyo comes first okay because we are not eleribu like your lineage from oba of Benin

Oyo state is prospering today with more population, more success for its inhabitants more land, more resources unlike our dead wretched worthless nonsense Edo state even though Edo state is by extension Oyo land

Note this down, we oyos would come for our Edo state when we get our oduduwa republic and send your weak oba of Benin out of the palace even though he’s a Yoruba man as well

Oyo today is where civilization in Nigeria started. Same can’t be said about olosho and armed robbery state

History can’t be changed and it’s what it is

Oba of Benin is a Yoruba man and the first language spoke in the palace is yoruba language

I know that the truth is bitter to swallow, but the truth will always prevail whether you like it or not

For your info, I’m a Christian not a Muslim but still love my Muslim brothers abd we will both annex Edo state together when we get our oduduwa republic like we did in the old western state when we oppressed your forefathers and used your state resources to build cocoa house and so many others

My prove

1) if Benin spoke Yoruba as a language Benin chiefs and kings would still be having Yoruba names if the language happened to have died
Since those names and titles in the Benin palace
Are ancestral, but none of this ancestral names and titles are yoruba but Benin


2) Samuel Johnson made mention that Benin defeated the oyo army from ekiti,he never mentioned oyo ruling Benin despite also mentioning Benin supplied various Yoruba guns in d Yoruba war

Lastly if I have to bring a screenshot on the number 2, promise to give me my money
If you need the screenshot let me know

I want to disgrace you in front of the born and the unborn

But in order to do this you there must be an appetite to keep it going if you’re ready let’s set

BOTH DAHOMEY AND BENIN , OYO RULED OVER.


""This King ( Alaafin Ojigi) in order to show his undisputed sovereignty over the whole of the Yoruba country, including Benin, sent out a large expedition which struck the Niger in the north, near the Ibaribas,
(Niger State) and coasted along the right bank until they arrived at the coast and returned to Oyo by the Popo country (Dahomey). Great exploits were reported of the leaders.""



Actually Oyo lost in battle to the Fulani but Ibadan who are ethnic Oyos won the War.

So an Oyo man who happens to be a historian is lying but while u that relies on "my Papa tell me" is somehow correct...

Oyo has never lost any battle but they were defeated by the Fulani, Dahomey who brought the Empire down... Is there another definition of losing a battle?

Oyo ruled over Benin, Dahomey and it never lost any war. Dahomey is too small to bring Oyo down okay and Oyo through Ibadan warriors killed so many fulanis in osogbo in 1840

Let me shock you even more:

Benin, Dahomey , even Ashanti and the Ga of Ghana paid tribute to the Alaafin of Oyo in the days of Basorun Gaha

That partly explains how and why Basorun Gaha the Prime Minister became such an arrogant king maker ,king destroyer and tyrant .

Basorun Gaha may be the reason why Yoruba's hate but can wait patiently to outmanoeuvre despotic rulers. It cost 4 Alaafins their lives before the 5th Alaafin Abiodun outsmarted him and finally killed him burning. him to ashes.

He controlled all the territory from the West Bank of River Niger all the way to and including the Ashanti of Ghana and all the Coastline .
The territory was bounded in the North by the River Niger of the Bariba Country (Niger State)

He sacrificed his home town, oyo state to be humiliated that was is biggest mistake i made him regret it,

Lol, the newbie on the block, he should start reading and stop talking ignorantly and sacrificing is state for bashing
