I often see the fear exhibited by some tribes, as they feel geographically and economically intimidated perhaps colonized in some case. Lol.

It is clear however Amongst all who the superior race is, the cowards know their limit and will spend more time waring in words n tongue.

When the real war ensues, real men will reign 4eva supreme.

@Kingoflag, Human beings commit crime all the time regardless of their religion, what we are talking about is people killing for their religion. Don`t get it twisted. The christian countries of the western World is where all the muslims get so much love and affection not the Islamic countries. Black African Muslims get treated better in these countries than they do in Arab Islamic ones. Ask a Somalian or a Pakistani  where they would rather be when poor, must would choose Western christian countries because they are shown more love and treated with dignity, unlike their rich Arab brothers that treat them like slaves. Do a little research on how Pakistani workers are treated in the rich Gulf states.  

I am no christian because I see it as the slave masters religion, but if I have to choose between the two, I would choose the one that as shown me and many others like me lots and lots of love. Islama bad.

I hope Yoruba people will keep on leaving Islam in droves as they are already doing.

When you realize that neither of these religions is not that of your ancestors, then you'll be worthy of a response. Until then, all I se are the posts of a bigot, and I see it'll be a waste of time even trying to reason with you you or have you see a different point of view.
Re: Yoruba Christians, Yoruba Muslims. . . .what Is That? by okunoba(m): 7:16am On Jan 22, 2012
@Ndu Chucks, I guess you have run out of any thing tangible to write, so u have resulted to sarcasm. Why do u pity me? could it be because I do not believe in Islamic dogma of the dark ages, passed on from one ignorant generation to the next. Sad that the younger generation that should know better are still stuck in the past. Don`t pity me brov, I am no prisoner to dogma that as kept the North so backward. I pray for the day when my brothers across the Niger will abandon Islam and embrace the goodness in humanity.

Thanks for the sympathy, but I think u need to save that for the voiceless and oppressed Almajiris. Today they might be killing their brothers down south, but trust me very soon they will realize u the Northern elites are the problem. Giving them sharia but no education or any skill, how do u expect them to compete in the modern World? What have you done or doing to make life better for these poor souls? U will rather have them hail you branka dede, while they have to beg for food. People like you are the problem of the black race.

@kingoflag, U obviously find it difficult reading. I suggest u go back to my reply. I do not subscribe to either Islam or Christianity because I see both as the slave masters religion, but if I have to choose it sure wont be Islam, the most intolerant religion in the World. Tell me of any other religion that believe in killing for leaving it?But we all know Islam does. Get real brov.  Reason is beyond those that refuse to question dogma of the dark ages.

Yoruba tribe is the only tribe in Nigeria that based on respect and religious tolerance. Only in Yoruba tribe you can see Muslim christian couple happily married and staying together having kids without any problem.It's very in Yoruba land to see a family who don't have a relative Muslims and christian. undecided
Re: Yoruba Christians, Yoruba Muslims. . . .what Is That? by OLASODE2K: 6:35pm On Jan 22, 2012
when any tribe wants to criticise the yorubas' legendary tolerance, such people must look inwards first. If such critic is ibo, he or she should first search for the existence of osu caste system in yorubaland which the ibos are too proud to dismantle and the settler-indigene issues that possess more threat to the ibo unity and sanity than money and legendary ibo pride. If the person is an hausa, he or she should go to kano and publicly speak against the senseless killing of non moslems there and if he would survive that day.
Re: Yoruba Christians, Yoruba Muslims. . . .what Is That? by Nobody: 10:39pm On Jan 22, 2012
This is an interesting thread.
I have always envied the peaceful co-existence between Yorubas. I no know wetin dem Ibo guys dey yan about "inferiority complex", that doesn't make sense at all. As far as I know there is no other tribe in Nigeria that shows a great deal of maturity and mutual understanding like the Yorubas, and in fact that's why I dey date a Yoruba girl wink . Make haters and jealous people just chill. I must say that the Ibos and Hausas are very similar by nature. They are very adamant in their beliefs and are always quick to judge and dismiss others. An Ibo man sees a Muslim in the same way a Hausa man sees a Christian; as bitter opponents ( I swear that one na true!).  in fact Can u imagine that after all the good works Okorocha has been doing, some Ibo men NO WAN vote for him JUST because he was from one local government that was "not supposed to" contest during the last election?
I have nothing against the Ibos o shocked I love them all, even the Hausas wey don pursue me tire for North here, but e get certain things wey we need to put at check. Some very useless and unimportant things must go. In my tribe, people inter-marry people from across the nation; Ibo, Yoruba, Hausa, Ijaw,name them dey marry my tribal gals( and I am very proud of that.) Na God go judge everybody so all these muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Juju(ish), blablabla should end abeg ", judge not, that you may not be judged", the bible siad it all. wink

Ela will soon gather His people and Dawodu will lead us in worship.

In the meaning of the word Olodumare, these can be seen: the creation of man, and of woman from man; the folly of fornication and adultery; the marriage of Orunmila to His wife; why a husband and wife are one flesh; and the marriage of Yeshua and His bride. There will soon be a true revival in the Yoruba nation.

As for the practice of Ifa divination in the diaspora note that the Ewe (who were also enslaved) and Yoruba peoples are kith and kin. The Ewe people in Ghana, Togo and Benin have not forgotten their roots and did not have to learn Ifa from the Yoruba. For instance, much of the ewa agoyin sellers in Lagos are from Benin and Togo yet they know they are Yoruba and easily settle in southwest Nigeria as home is home.
Re: Yoruba Christians, Yoruba Muslims. . . .what Is That? by cffb: 11:00pm On Jan 22, 2012
I guess Chyz doesn't know what inferiority complex means, yorubas have held top positions in this nation since independence,we are a group of people that is unique,accommodating,and have everything it takes to stand face to face with any group around the world, we do not have reason to feel inferior -you may find out. Politically,education wise,and in business we are successful . We like our fellow Igbo race and every other tribe in the country. Really,we are first Yorubas before anything,yes we are xtians and Muslims but we don't kill people because Quran doesn't preach murder.
Personally,I love ibos and have them as close friends but I detest killing.

Re: Yoruba Christians, Yoruba Muslims. . . .what Is That? by mbhs139(m): 11:50am On Jan 23, 2012
Honestly, the truth be said, yorubas are more accomodating than any other tribe in this country. ask any non-yoruba person that either schooled or served in yorubaland they will tell you more.

the yoruba parents sees other people's children, irrespective of their tribe, as theirs and treat them well with the believe that since they dont know where their own children will end up one day, they have the assurance that he/she will receive the same treatment they meet out to others.

I have seen a couple of ibos too who are nice, or let me say a handful of other tribes i have been fortunate to meet and they are nice. which ever way you look at it, Yorubas are accomodating.

by the way, should there be any reason why we should not be tolerant of ourselves? Walahi, i dont deal with people based on their religious belief or tribe. I have met muslim brothers who duped me, who were not sincere with me in our dealings. likewise i have met non muslims and non yorubas who are my brothers till date. Honestly, i dont see any reason for this discussion given our present circumstances

@Sbeezy


Igbomina people have always been Yorubas and in fact have been since their earliest days,  Iggomina people and are in fact an hybrid of Yoruba tribes (Egba/Ijebu  people making chief composition of igbominas, because they fought them more than the other groups), Igbomina people existed before oyo empire and had to fight the oyo empire, What makes them Yoruba is by language extension the didn't assimilate at all, they were it!, In their fight against other groups, they were dispersed and had to spread to other parts of what is now a collective Yoruba land including Lagos

Igbomina people are also indigenous to Lagos by what many will call Egba but really are Igbomina,  Igbomina people are mostly on the mainland of Lagos,  Igbomina people were also subjects of Oyo and were among the tribes of Yorubas who took refuge in Lagos during intra tribal wars (It took Yorubas long to attain the unity we are proud of now), 

Egun people are not Yorubas by assimilation at all,  They are Yorubas independent of other Yorubas by extension because they come from same place Yorubas come from and settled in Badagry independently,

the reason why you resurate a dead thread of one silly poster is because one igboman turn muslim?

yotuba's and their hatred of igbos. anyway read below comments and see what the girl in question think about islam:


I can sympathize with why a Muslim may leave Islam, due to a lack of community – especially if you are non-white. No one comes to you, and invites you for iftar during Ramadan. No one introduces you to people they know in their family who are looking for a wife. I can be assured that if I walk into a local church, I would at least be greeted with a “hello” or a “welcome” and a smile by one stranger in the church. As for the masjid? Not so much. Are some masajid unwelcoming? Yes – and I have yet to find a welcoming masjid in my area. I desperately long for the feeling of community, acceptance, and support, which is so critical to building my faith. In the predominantly Desi/Arab masjid I have attended, as a black Muslimah, I am invisible – I exchange salaams with women who give me cold looks. At the end of jumu’ah, the congregation lingers, talking and exchanging greetings while I, on the other hand, walk away, and even question if anyone noticed my presence at all.
Re: Yoruba Christians, Yoruba Muslims. . . .what Is That? by 9javoice1(m): 6:59am On Feb 22, 2012
Honestly, if my faith alone rested in the hands of Muslims in my community, I would have left Islam long ago


she said this to inform us that muslims are not accomodating at all and they lack love and unity.
that is why yoruba muslim does different from hausa muslim.
if this girl came to nigeria and pratice islam she will left islam within 48hrs.

it also happen to yoruba muslim when ever they worship with the hausa's never greet salam to each other,and i wonder why.
Re: Yoruba Christians, Yoruba Muslims. . . .what Is That? by 9javoice1(m): 7:05am On Feb 22, 2012
However, the hostility has also occurred on the hands of fellow Africans. I can recall one instance when I stood next an African woman, not realizing that she was praying on her own before the calling of the adhan. I had just converted, and was still trying to understand how to perform salah. She later looked at me sternly and said, “You don’t know how to pray?” in front of others. Embarrassed, I made some excuse and apologized for the confusion. I was too embarrassed to announce to the entire group that stood around me that I had recently converted. She neither bothered to assist me nor to make me feel welcome. I never entered that masjid again.

this is why islam can never make any head way when compulsion is withered from among them.
