Omo ale Yorùbá. This is what I've been saying to Yoruba Muslims that bootlick this Yoruba Christians, they're not your friends. They see you as a potential threat and they wouldn't hesitate to betray and mess you up.

You are just a retarded imp. That fool y oi u quoted is igbo. Always do your research before disgracing your lineage.

Lol....this confused social political climber.

The article is full of sophistry, falsehoods and fallacies sprinkled with half truths, sentiments and biases targeted majorly at diluting the indigineous people of Yorubaland while tactically not talking about the ethnic syncretic of the north. Yoruba's and northerners have absolutely nothing in common. From our ideologies and attitudes to life there's a big difference between both people.

We Yoruba's aren't known for religious extremism or terrorism.

Yorubas are largely progressive and socialist liberals. Hausa/fulani are largely retrogressive and conservative extremists.

Yorubas believe in orderliness and don't subscribe to grazing cattle openly destroying people's property.

Yoruba's live in cities and villages like normal human beings. Fulani lives in the forest reserves like wild animals with their cattle.

Yoruba's don't subscribe to oppressing our women or girl children, women in Yorubaland are given equal freedom and opportunities as men(too much freedom in some cases) and we also don't subscribe to child marriages.

Yorubas rich and poor believes alot in education and it's ability to advance societies. Hausa/fulani believe that western education is Haram.

We Yoruba's don't pardon yahoo boy's, terrorists, militants or bandits. Hausa/fulani believes that terrorists are humans like us and should be pardoned and reintegrated back into society.

We believe in freedom of expression; it's why bobrisky is still walking freely in Lagos. Northerners believe in breaking beer bottles and banning mannequins because it is Haram.

We produce Noble laureates, tech Titans, globally recognized scientists, athletes, execs and self made business people. The north produces military men, presidents with school cert results and a large voting population.

There might have been intermarriages and inter relations with neighboring Northern tribes but hausa/fulani are never one or the same people.

Lastly what really makes a person Yoruba apart from his paternal genes is his embodiment of qualities known to Yoruba's and the tribal loyalty you have towards Yoruba, it's people and it's interests, if you find yourself scheming against or working against Yoruba interest it's most likely that you're not Yoruba but either an imposter or a bastard. Yoruba isn't just an ethnic group but a religion, a state of mind and an ideology

Farooq A. Kperogi like most non Yoruba's are quick to talk about Yoruba history trying to delegitimize the rights of indigineous Yoruba people and pushing silly narratives and agendas but would hardly talk like this about their regions or tribes..... ibadan men like me will see straight right through your bvllshit Mr Kperogi.

No bad blood with Northern people but it's an insult to say yorubas and fulanis are alike. It gets me really triggered.

Oga stop wasting your time looking for whom you will convince that you Yorubas and Housas/Fulanis are brothers cos you don't know history more than Tinubu and FFK that already confirmed it that Yorubas and Housa/Fulanis are kinsmen and that explain to soft spots you Yorubas have where Housa/Fulanis any time they are having beef with great Igbos

Actually, Yoruba and Igbo languages are in the same group, they are tonal languages and might have been one in the past or descended from a common ancestor

God forbid Yorubas and Igbos being descendants.Oga better stick with your Housa/Fulanis kinsmen like your two drug Lord in person of Tinubu and FFK have already attested to.No wonder you Yorubas don't take eye see Igbos whenever they are fighting with your kinsmen Housa/Fulanis

Coldshisha:


Yes Naija - Congo Language source like Yoruba, Igbo, Fula, Shona, Sesotho and Zulu

The that's why we all use Baba, papa , mama

Ase!! Ise!!

Oga you people should stop attaching yourself by force with Igbos you Yorubas hate with passion

We don't have anything in common with Almajiris. Take note.

Even Yoruba Muslims are far different from Northern Muslims.

Stop forcefully associating Almajiris with Yoruba tribe

Go and tell that to yir Yoruba people I have heard so many times here that they are more related to Housa/Fulanis than Igbos here.You Yorubasy are unstable people

sulaak:


... there are Yoruba's that have become Northerners and Northerners that have become Yorubas, but that is no reason why the SW should be part of Arewa. We can have two seperates countries with some common interest.

Totally agree.

SlyDev:
Hausa sees Yoruba as brother and friend. Hausa prefer to work with Yoruba than the third one. Relationship with Hausa is more useful to Yoruba than Ibos.

Gbam!!!!

WesternOligarch:


You didn't read the article and the political connotations in it. I can't argue.

Oga which political connotations are you talking about?? The last time I checked I thought you Yorubas and kinsmen Housa/Fulanis shares politics such as Presidency and that Igbos that are not from Nigeria will not smell the Presidency ehhh.Anyday there is Biafra thread here you Yoruba have made it point of duty to alied with your kinsmen Housa/Fulania to attack Igbos

SlayerForever:
I always tell anybody who cares to listen that Hausa and Yoruba people are the same! I have looked at them and seen their close similarities in behaviour and thinking. They are the same! After staying in the North and I came to the West and heard Lafia in Yoruba greeting I just knew the two people are the same thing from that moment onwards. Kperoogi here proves me right.

This is exactly how to reason upside down

Nobody is trying to "forcefully associate" Yoruba with Northern Muslims. Your history with them, both social and political, speaks for itself.
Take for example the events between 1964 and 1966/67.
Igbo officers couldn't stomach the injustices that the North under Ahmadu Bello was dishing out to Awolowo and his Yoruba tribe, and acted to stop it, even endangering the entire eastern nations in the process.
Till today, all the participants in the coup say that it was a coup to make Awolowo the Prime Minister.
But most Yoruba reject that and stick to the "Igbo coup done by Igbo to take power".
The Yoruba still can't believe or understand that an Igbo can risk his life to save another Nigerian ethnic group albeit in the early '60s.
That is a proof of lack of shared values alluded earlier.
BTW, immediately Awo got out, he still found it easier to side with Northerners against the same Igbo that sympathized and saved him.
And when the war started, prominent Yoruba military officers (like Adekunle and the like) "carried Igbo matter for head" and fought Igbo bitterly as if they bore an old grudge. Adekunle was competing with Murtala Muhammed in Igbo hate.
In fact, if you look at the Nigeria army of post civil war (till today), it has really remained a Northern/Yoruba army.
The same alliance also produced Buhari in 2015, and may even produce Tinubu in 2023.
Notice that the entire East has HARDLY ever worked with the North for that long -ie DECADES.
I'm talking about decades and decades of working together to rule Nigeria.
Facts are facts.
Abeg no "chop and clean mouth".

TripleOh7:
Most people don't even know that there's a huge difference between the Hausa and the Fulani.

Yorubas traded very well with the various Hausa kingdoms.

The Fulanis have always been bandits inhabiting other people's forests, killing, maiming and raping with the view of taking over their land.

Tell us the difference between Hausa and Fulani.

Don't be confused and don't allow hatred affect ur reasoning.
I understand ur displeasure about the happenings in dis country but it should not affect ur 'Yorubaness'

What the writer said is true BUT not 100% correct.

Islam, brought by the Malians is the connecting point of SOME yorubas with the fulanis while TRADING is what connects many yorubas with Hausas.
In the olden days, our forefathers transacted with the hausas and there were no issues until everything fell apart (all thanks to the fulanis through islam).

Hausas naturally are welcoming, peace-loving, simple & honest so our fathers found it easy to transact with them compared to fulanis who loves power & conquest. Fulanis are power-hungry hence their quest to dominate by conquest and rule.

Ask an average, honest Hausa man, he will tell u how much they dey dislike fulanis & don't want to associate with them.

THE PROBLEM IS ISLAM

Ijaw areas going for Ijaw Republic.
These are the 65 Ijaw clans.
Each of these clans, have atleast 25 towns each.
The leaders of
Oron and Aminadokiari (Ndoki) Ijaws have visited General Ditari and the Ijaw Republic Liberation Movement Militant Forces that they are Ijaws and should be added to Ijaw Republic since they share boundaries with other of their fellow Ijaw relations.
Oro say they are Obolo Ijaw people, and Aminadokiari (Ndoki) say they are Ijaw people.
General Ditari say that he will add their areas to the country map.

illicit:


Actually, Yoruba and Igbo languages are in the same group, they are tonal languages and might have been one in the past or descended from a common ancestor

Linguistic Researchers say 50% of the Igbo Vocabulary are Corrupted Yoruba Words


“words that are similar in sound and in meaning. For example: Igbo imi/ Yoruba imu = ‘nose’; Igbo nti/Yoruba eti = ‘ear’; Igbo onu/ Yoruba enu = ‘mouth’; etc. Basic vocabulary words are essential words, such as words for body parts, for which every human language normally has its own native equivalents.

Thus, for instance, it is not likely that the Yoruba examples just given can originally have been borrowed from Igbo, or that the Igbo examples can originally have been borrowed from Yoruba. And so, the very many vocabulary words which are similar in sound and in meaning found across Igbo and Yoruba can only have resulted from the fact that the two languages are indeed from one and the same parent language.”

I totally agree with this write-up. The Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani have similar culture, the same level of IQ, similar pattern of thinking and behaviour. While that of the Igbos is totally different. Allowing the Igbos to have their separate country wouldn't be a bad idea at all. It will be a win-win for all.

I agree with you, Igbos have no real history. A primitive tribe plunged into modernity. They have accepted modern world but their challenge is civilization. They cannot accept the civil behavior that comes with development hence their criminality , greed and selfishness. They also pay lip service to morality and religion. It will certainly be a win for the rest of Nigeria if Biafra becomes a reality and all Igbos return to their enclave.

A clearer one.

Exactly why Buhari should let them have their Biafra!

Tomek09:

Tell us the difference between Hausa and Fulani.

So you don't know the difference between Hausa and Fulani?

Are you not a Nigerian?

Anyway, it's the Hausas that are indigenous to Nigeria and not the Fulanis.

The Fulanis are like dark skin Arabs who migrate around.

They colonized the Hausas in the North of Nigeria and took over their traditional systems.

What they did to the Hausas is what they are trying to do to the rest of Nigeria.

That's why the president is looking for non existent cattle grazing routes all over the country.

[/s]

There's nothing like Hausa/Fulani just like there's nothing like Igbo/Ijaw.

Second, Igbos seemed to have soft spot for the Fulanis when Azikiwe delivered the entire South into their hands so that he could become their house boy. The Fulanis didn't even need to fire a single shot.

Alex Ekwueme also didn't seem to mind serving under a Fulani president as his second in command in the 70s and 80s.

Neither did the Igbos mind Atikulating with Atiku in 2019.

Guess the only two tribes in Nigeria that used the word "dominate" with regards to other ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Guess the two tribes that migrate across the country in droves the most.

Guess the two tribes that are prone to use violence as a means of solving disagreements the most.

Guess the two tribes that have serious expansionist land grabbing tendencies the most.

So you see that Igbos and Fulanis have a lot in common as to be brothers indeed.

So what you are trying to say is that, Hausa hold a major stock in Yoruba kingdom? You better stop that nonsense
