Eko Ile:

Is it ok to assume that you've studied and researched Inter religion marriages in Yorubaland and you also have stats, data and figures to back up your ignorant rubbish.?

I wonder where NR get you useless jokers from....

asha 80:

well for someone like dele sobowale whom i respect his write ups on sunday vanguard to write such maybe there is something that does not seem right to him.

ishmael: And how many stats have u provided to prove ur own points here? No let me curse u o!

Eko Ile:

To start with, I don't need any stats because I did not make any point. Even if I foolishly did, must you foolishly do the same thing like an ignorant mumu follow follow?

You see how dumb and foolish you sound?

ishmael: Pls go play with ur toy, boy. Or go and recite ur ABCD. I don't have time for kids like u.

Katsumoto:

But you made an assertion. Whats do you have to support the assemption you are making, whether true or false?

Tesiday: @Ishmael, both male and female of these two religion do get married. The point is more often than not,muslim ladies who married christians do change,most of the time. While most of the christians who marry muslims don't, they still continue going to church. Most don't,eve if they marry an Imam or Emir,go to Makkah 10 times or whatever,more often than not,they won't change.

ishmael: what assertion did i make? I only said the truth about what i see in Lagos daily. I don't need any stats for that. And if any of u has any stats to use in proving me wrong pls provide the stats.

ishmael: Pls go play with ur toy, boy. Or go and recite ur ABCD. I don't discuss serious issues with kids who suck their fingers, like u.

Eko Ile:


Olodo, you made an assertion and there is no truth without facts to back it up.

Your statement was stupid and ignorant.

Katsumoto:

On Nigerian history, you take your ar.se whopping regularly, why do you want to make it worse by attempting Yoruba history?

The British never engaged Oyo or Ibadan. In fact, After the Ijaiye war in 1862, Ogunmola (the Balogun) took a British slave (Edward Roper) and demanded 200 kegs of gun powder as ransom. Despite British attempts to negotiate his release, it would take the British pleading to the Alaafin Adelu, who in turn pleaded with Ogunmola before Roper was released.

The British only engaged Yoruba forces on a couple of occasions and on both occasions, the objective wasn't to subdue but to relieve. Since you believe you know the history, can you tell us where these battles were held. Despite the fact that the British were in lagas for decades, they never moved beyond Ikorodu or Epe into Ogun. They would only move into the hinterland after the treaties of 1893 were signed ending the Yoruba civil war.

Second, You stated that the British whooped the Alaafin; can you tell us where and when?

Dede1:




Sometimes, I can not believe certain proclamations you profoundly make on this forum. I do not know which group is more pathetic than other, you or the delusional juju musicians. British stepped into the carnage to save Yoruba race from total destruction not only from the external forces but internal ones. Please do not arrogate any sense of relevance to yourself by insinuating the British government engaged Yoruba in a fight. Would British engage people whose large numbers were hiding under the rock?

Wars such as Mugbamugba, Kanla, Eleduwe and Owu had claimed many Alaafin(s) and numerous Oba(s). Some of the Oba(s) even died as refugees. It is funny you cited the handiwork of gbomogbomo to validate your cock and bull fairy tales about a missionary named Edward Roper.

I guess you could equally tell the undiscerning onlookers the essence of Olumo Rock with respect to decimated Yoruba society as a result of unbearable pressure from external forces.

Katsumoto:

Your attempts at obfuscation never work with me and you know that.

You stated that the British defeated the Alaafin (Oyo) and I challenged you to provide facts about the engagement. Instead you provided words that had little to do with your original points. Why did you state some of the wars that the Oyo fought? Were they fighting the British? You then went further talking about Olumo rock. Were the people of Abeokuta uusing Olumo rock as a defense protection system against the British?

The questions were simple and direct.
1. When and where did the British engage the Oyo?
2. When the British engaged Yoruba forces, which forces did they engage and where?
3. Did the British subjugate Yoruba forces? If so, where?

I provided an anecdote about an Ibadan warrior, Ogunmola, taking a British slave to demonstrate that even then, the British did not use force to subjugate the Ibadan or Oyo.

I correctly stated that the British only moved into Yoruba hinterland after the treaties in 1893 were signed.

Dede1:



I can not apologize if you misconstrue my statement in the previous posts. You and I know that British would not waste time flogging already death horse. The Yoruba and Oyo Empire were masterfully drubbed by the Fulani Caliphate and Yoruba warlords who were inherently treacherous.

Against the backdrop of your usual delusional post that British took over Yoruba land through series of treaties, I posited it was due to pitiful drubbing the Oyo Empire and Yoruba received from Fulani Caliphate and turncoats among Yoruba in Illorin Emirate and Oyo Empire too. I do not have to spell every statement in detail to you even though I have wrongly assumed you were holding the right end of the historical facts.

British had already moved into Yoruba land before 1893. In fact, Yoruba land had been declared the Protectorate of British Empire before 1893. In addition, the boundary between Oyo Empire and Benin Empire was decided by the British.

It is unfortunate you found certain ecstasy with the handiwork of gbomogbomo such Ogunmola. I did not expect anything good since you and follow Yoruba peeps regarded loudmouthed Benjamin Adekunle as a competent field commander.

Akiika: @Afam4eva and @Desola, are you guys for real? must you bicker ignorantly? neither of you have any verifiable proof to back up your claim so zip it!
@Dede1, pls. think before you hit the keyboard, you're simply not objective. You arguements are always sentimental rather than logical.

kettykin: I sincerely hope the type of Religous Tolerancein youba land is not the type that was in some Northern states before , during and after the civil war when the middle belters were in a state of dream Utopia when Gowon was in power and Gowon even told the world that Nigeria's Problem was not money but how to spend it meanwhile the Core northern folks were busy consolidating their hold all over the north only for them to give Gowon the boot by 1975.

Bring it to Lagos, i just noticed most of Lagos State Governors and Gubernatorial Candidates are muslims and Tinubu has taken it farther with his ACN winning all the states for muslims, While the Yoruba pastors are busy struggling to be VEEPEE under a Jihadist Buhari even asking , preaching and praying that Jonathan should Resign.

The only Christian Gubernatorial Candidate Funsho Williams was murdered by unknow persons also Bola ige another Christian Titan was murdered too as a minister, Apart from Mimiko the iroko is there really any Christian Governor in the south West possibily Ekiti state looks christian.

Well lets fold our hands and see how Far Lukewarmness can take the yorubas

in my home town,
there was a church situated on a street, 20 meters away from it, there was this mosque and almost opposite the church a shrine and by the shrine a joint.
there was never a clash.
