"We Support Oba Akanbi As The Emir Of Yorubaland" - Iwo People (Photos) by Mztarstrechy(m): 2:34pm On Apr 14, 2018
The people of Iwo trooped out to the street to stage a solidarity rally in support of Oluwo, Oba Abdul Rasheed Adewale Akanbi as the Emir of Yorubaland and Sheikh Yahkub Abdul Baaqi Muhammad, the first Wazeer of Yorubas.The rally was organised by Jama’at Ta’awunil Muslimen with the supports of all Muslims that made up 90% of the city's population. It took place immediately after the Jumat service with placards showing Iwo people are solidly behind their Emir.

Recently, Nigeria was engulfed with different speculations and false alarm that Oluwo was trying to cede his territory the way Ilorin was ceded to the North, which was debunked in the interview granted by the King himself and the statement released by his press secretary, Ali Ibroheem.

While speaking to the people, the Ta’awun National President, Sheikh Daood Imran Molaasan said,

“The rally is to prove to the world that every step taken by the Oluwo has the backing of his people in the town. Iwo is rich in Islamic history and not only in Yorubaland alone but in Nigeria as well, the history tells; and Islam has been making a great contribution to Iwo development.

“It has helped in producing doctors in various fields, assist in establishing different Islamic foundations providing work for the people, water for different homes and promoting memorisation of Al-quran among the children and adults which in the next five years Iwo will add to its crown as the city of those who have memorised the whole Al-Quran. So what makes Iwo special among its brother’s town are numerous and also lucky to have a king who has passion for what his people want. So why won’t’ we support him?”

Oluwo thanked his people and reiterated his support for Islamic development.

“If we stand with Allah, we will surely be triumphed. In Iwo, Islam has been launched and there is nothing anyone can do about that. Call me Oba, Emir even Egwe, they are all my names. It unites us and brings us together as one Nigeria. I was coming from somewhere, very close to Iwo and the Hausa people there were just shouting Emir! Emir!I was amazed but it makes me happy. They see me as one of them. If Yoruba call me Oba and the Muslims call me their Emir, that alone promotes national unity and shows I belong to my people. So why won’t I thank my people for their support” Oluwo remarked.

He then prayed to Almighty Allah to make Iwo the Medina of Yorubas.

I support an Emir in Yorubaland it's the first step towards moving the seat of the caliphate away from the extremists in Sokoto!

Emirship is tied to religion and 'Oba' is traditional. Since majority of Yoruba are Muslims then they have a right to be on the same level with the northern Muslims, by having their own Emir of Yorubaland

I can tell that this is a paid protest.

I can also tell that majority of the indegenes of Iwo are against this yahoo yahoo king

He is only using his influence as a king and an advantage of belonging to the extremist religion to stage support for himself.

I fear for Christian universities like "Bowen University "
because they will either be asked to pay heavy dues to the yahoo boy or they change their name to "Allahu Akbar Islamic university of terrorism "

One of d reason I feel guilty engaging Igbo here on nairaland.

The biggest problem of most Yoruba people is d inferiority complex.

The king makers that collected bribery to elect this fraudster king caused all this rubbish.

Shame on Iwo people

why not obliterate the name oba and install emir in all the Yoruba traditional seat.

Yoruba Christians hope you guys are seeing what your fellow Yoruba brother is saying.they rather support caliphate than to support their traditional rule and they despise y'all Christians.

Just view my profile and know why I despise Yoruba Muslims .. This is the alarm I have been raising since I registered on nairaland , but Yoruba Muslims keep jumping on my mentions up and down, probably to silence me. Their anger is because I say it in the public ... Lolzz

Funny enough that some of those protesters are Fulani Muslims living in Yoruba land. Yoruba musslims teamed up with their Fulani masters against Yoruba Christians, yet fulanis have refused to see Yoruba muslins as real Muslims despite all the @sss licking .The idiiot has even turned Yoruba land to home of Islam without considering the feelings of Yoruba Christians , yet Yoruba Muslims are happy about it ..Its a pity. Just look at the inscriptions on their banners. Smh.

Like I have always said ..... Yoruba musslims are disgrace to entire Yoruba race ..
Yoruba christians are in big trouble

are you north?must you copy north?

why are you yoruba Muslims suffering from inferiority complex? what is wrong with y'all.


are Christians the majority in the north??

when has emir been the traditional name in Yoruba culture?is that seat meant for religion or traditional purposes? ?

so long yoruba is concerned,both Christians and Muslim has got their population.

eehn?you see why y'all consider yourselves so inferior to your caliphate.

another kwara loading,Christians in Yoruba land should wake up.

No one is calling for the abolishing of the Oba title or seat. Can you say because you are now a doctor no one should address you as Mr or Mrs.

Both titles remain relevant.


An emir in Yorubaland will end a lot of bullying from the hands of the northern Muslims

why speaking with both sides of the mouth,from your understanding the title emir is good because of your inferiority complex,why don't you advocate for the abolishment of all the oba title in Yoruba and attach them with emir.
