As it is now, Kwara state is one of the states that is in the NORTH central zone. Others are Kogi, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau and Niger states. They are happy with that. They are happy that their state is multi ethnic comprising of Hausa, Fulani, Nupe, etc. |

Andre Uweh:Actually, no Historically,we have always wanted to be part of the southwest.see willinks commission and its diabolical report. In the case of the country dividing,trust me,we are going southy. |

Shud44:Are you for real. When part of Kwara was ceded to Niger state and another merged to form Kogi, one would have thought that the largely Yoruba Kwara state will join the south yet id did not happen. Stop dreaming, Kwarans are in the north and wishes to remain there. Respect their wishes. |
Re: Why Do Kwara Governors Wear That Silly Hausa Cap? by Nobody: 12:58am On Nov 30, 2011 |
^u see,the part that was ceded was not yoruba. We are comfortable where we are as the majority in a north central state. But when shit gets real,kwara south and central are going southy.kwara north is less than 20% of the population. I m telling this you as a bonafide kwaran. |

Shud44:Yet they remained in the north. North is their final destination. Accept reality. |

South/Yoruba, should just forget about Kwara, it's part of the Fulani empire. Was it even in the Western region? |

ezeagu:Never at anytime in the western region. |

Ehen now, even the British wey ke the thing didn't agree it was Yoruboid enough. |
Re: Why Do Kwara Governors Wear That Silly Hausa Cap? by Nobody: 1:36am On Nov 30, 2011 |
ezeagu: Its like you didn't know it was originally named ''west central'' at the creation of the first 12 states. Even the current governor knows he himself is yoruba. It was the sarakis that started selling the people off to the north systematically. Obviously to aquire selfish ends. I remember in the mid 90s when we used pick o.y.o radio station and osbc with so much clarity, whatever they did to the airwave. Also don't forget that former governor, Muhamed Lawal (R.I.P) almost repositioned kwara by demoting the current emir and installing an Oba in ilorin so the conciousness is there and i know that sooner or later, later will become sooner. There are about 80 yoruba kings in kwara and just 5 emirs, you can't tell me kwara is not yoruba!!! 1 Like |

This is bullshit, the regional fault lines are not sacrosanct, the north south regional line was created by someone it can always be changed with time, for instance in the united states, the Mason-Dixie line symbolizes a cultural boundary between the Northeastern United States and the Southern United States (Dixie) use to include Maryland and parts of pennslyvania. well now no one is going to call Maryland southern united states, the north south lines are colonial lines it no more exist, for all we know, the people of kwara, kogi, Benue are culturally becoming southern states culturally, 1 Like |

The Igbos on this thread are hell bent on separating Kwara Yoruba's from their kit and kin in the SW. No Presidential Candidate from another zone or bloc, would ever get elected once a powerful, more stronger and resolute bloc called or termed as " the Real South-Western zone of the country coming together as one bloc" which would consists of every state from Kogi, Kwara, Edo and Delta to the traditional Yoruba ones of Ondo,Lagos,Osun, Oyo and Ogun. The 25 million people in Lagos alone is an added advantage to this bloc, when add to the other states population, it would give a would be Presidential Candidate an enormous thrust which can be as much as over 55% of the voting populace. Whoever is endorsed in this bloc would have a 90% chance of clinching a Presidential race. This strategy could be Nigerian's answer to the US New England endorsement Primaries where whoever comes out on top as the Prime Candidate has won the battle half way.The wrongs of the Colonialist needs to be corrected. |
Re: Why Do Kwara Governors Wear That Silly Hausa Cap? by KnowAll(m): 10:57am On Nov 30, 2011 |
[size=18pt]Let us face reality here; there are only 3 zones in Nigeria 1. South Western Nigeria –Edo, Kogi, Kwara, Ondo, ogun, oshun, Lagos, Delta and Oyo States 2. South Eastern Nigeria, All states East of the Niger River and below the Benue River to the North. That would include all former Eastern region States and Benue State. 3. Northern Nigeria – All States above the Rivers Niger and Benue Rivers. Unfortunately States like Niger and Plateau are Northern States and they should learn to live with the Hausa/Fulani.

I always surprise that how can somebody has moniker of "KnowAll" and write 'all this kind of things around' Na u know, just tell your Governors to stop wearing that silly cap, it dosen't make them more Hausa than the Hausa man. The Hausas knows how many pickin them get and the Yoruba Kwaran people are not included. But for political expediency they would always come calling, and when they have got what they wanted they disapper into the thin air. 1 Like |

[size=18pt]The Travails of the Sarakis at attempting to run for the Presidency. I think it is safe to say no Kwaran would ever smell Aso Rock let alone occupying it.[/size] Governor Bukola Saraki’s attempt at ruling this country suffers the same fate like that of his father because of his identity crisis but ironically, he fails to learn from history. In 1983, Dr. Olusola Saraki made a frantic effort to contest for the presidency on the platform of the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN) but was told that the incumbent President Shehu Shagari was to go for second term but he was not satisfied because President Shagari was a reluctant candidate. The fallout of the power game led to a grand conspiracy and discrimination against the elder Saraki, which led him to seek a political asylum with the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN). To take his pound of flesh from the NPN, he directed his supporters to vote for the UPN’s gubernatorial candidate Senator C. O. Adebayo. Another attempt was made by him under the Social Democratic Party but had to chicken out for a more formidable power blocs formed by the late Chief M. K. O. Abiola and late Gen. Shehu Yar’Adua. Again, in 1998 when the presidency was zoned to the southwest to compensate for the injustice done to Chief M. K. O. Abiola, Dr. Saraki attempted the APP ticket but got disappointed by the northern cabal in the party who preferred to go into alliance with the AD for the 1999 presidential elections. How else does Dr. Olusola Saraki want to be told that he has overstayed is welcome in the north? If your religion cannot change you, then change your religion. |

So, ojukwu is going to be buried in feb? It seems his mother's people have to officially notify his hometown of his death or something like that. They say that's the tradition- dont know if anyone still practices that kind of thing anymore. Its obviously a slow news day which is surprising given all these events. |

Danladi7: You are the very ignorant one, how can you say Yoruba Ilorin people practiced Islam before Hausa and Fulani people when in Actual fact Fulani brought Islam into what is now called Nigeria. Fulani who migrated from Mecca forced many West African tribes into Islam through Jihad (Holy War) So you don't know the Alimi-Afonja story? 1 Like |

bakynes:your ignorance is complicated because you dont know you are ignorant! do you know yoruba name for Islam? It is IMOLE,coinned from the word MALI! Yoruba Islamic Historian will tell you Islam came to yorubaland from MALI,specifically through Malian traders in 15th century,during these period hausas are pagians the first two mosques in yorubaland were built in Oyo and Iwo in 15th century while uthman dan fordio west africa jihad happened in 1804 to 1808 which spread islam through hausaland. Islam also came to the southwestern Yoruba -speaking areas during the time of the Mali Empire . In his Movements of Islam in face of the Empires and Kingdoms in Yorubaland , Sheikh Dr. Abu-Abdullah Adelabu supported his claims on early arrival of Islam in the southwestern Nigeria by citing the Arab anthropologist Abduhu Badawi, who argued that the fall of Koush southern Egypt and the prosperity of the politically multicultural Abbasid period in the continent had created several streams of migration, moving west in the mid-9th Sub-Sahara .[10] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Nigeria Yorubas came in contact with Islam around the 14th century during the reign of Mansa Kankan Musa of the Mali Empire. According to Al-Aluri, the first Mosque was built in Ọyọ-Ile in AD 1550 although, there were no Yoruba Muslims, the Mosque only served the spiritual needs of foreign Muslims living in Ọyọ. [citation needed] Progressively, Islam came to Yoruba land, and Muslims started building Mosques: Iwo town led, its first Mosque built in 1655 followed by Iṣẹyin, in 1760; Lagos, 1774; Ṣaki, 1790; and Oṣogbo, 1889. [citation needed] In time, Islam spread to other towns like Oyo (the first Oyo convert was Solagberu), Ibadan, Abẹokuta, Ijẹbu-Ode, Ikirun, and Ẹdẹ before the 18th century Sokoto jihad. [ citation needed ] Several factors contributed to the rise of Islam in Yoruba land by mid 19th century. Before the decline of Ọyọ, several towns around it had large Muslim communities, unfortunately, when Ọyọ was destroyed, these Muslims (Yoruba and immigrants) relocated to newly formed towns and villages and became Islam protagonists. [ citation needed ] Second, there was a mass movement of people at this time into Yoruba land, many of these immigrants were Muslims who introduced Islam to their host. [ citation needed ] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Nigeria INFACT NO HAUSA FULANI HISTORIAN OR SCHOLAR WILL DE AR SAY IT THAT ISLAM CAME TO YORUBALAND FROM THEM 1 Like |

Danladi7:Remember that Fulani were not originally from this Geographical space called Nigeria they migrated from Mecca down to Mali, Senegal down to the old Songhai Empire. Even if there were traces of Mosque built in Old Oyo Empire majority did not practise Islam in Yoruba Land not until the Afonja-Alimi encounter that converted many Ilorin people and there after spread Islam throughout the entire Yoruba Land. Utman Dan fodio only continued Jihad in Northern Nigeria. Fulani had already started a Jihad in Mali and other West African nations way way before Utman Dan fodio was born. |

bakynes:it is a lie. islam grew independently of fodio jihad in yorubaland since its has been rooted in 15th century.My great great great grandfather was muslim long before fodio jihad! Get a good book on the growth of Islam in yorubaland and read and stop this conjectures! |
