kindly amend the title of this post to "Kwara State: Fulani, Yoruba and the National Conference" . I believe this will attract more people, hopefully the intellectuals, so we can have more meaningful debate on this very important issue

Ilorin and other major parts of kwara has always been part of yorubaland

However Afonja who was over ambitious rebelled against the High king(Alaafin Oyo).

At the time the Yoruba dealt with slaves and we owned a lot of fulani slaves, and their camp was in ilorin.

Afonja an Illorin born Yoruba wished to get independence from Oyo, he trusted his Fulani friend(Alimi), and using the army under Uthman danfodio He pushed Oyo southwards and released Ilorin from all Oyo influence.

Alimi betrayed Afonja, and murdered him.

Alimi now ruler of Ilorin and commander of the Sokoto army waged war against Oyo, Oyo suffered so much until Ibadan came to help.

Ibadan and Oyo army were able to push back the fulanis but unable to reclaim Ilorin's rulership

That's the history

Done

Lol,someone needs his drugs on this thread. When intellects argue and put something good down,the dull ones try to troll and make no sense.

You need to go back to your history books. Ilorin is a yoruba land and Afonja the founder of ilorin was the 1st Aare Ona Kakanfo of yoruba land. MKO Abiola was the last Aare Ona ka kan fo. Its not just like any other title its reserved for only distinguish and very powerful yoruba indegines (warriors).

Afonja isn't the 1st Aare Ona-Kankanfo

Kokoro of Iwoye was the first

And Afonja's grandfather was the founder of Ilorin
Ile-Erin meaning home of Elephants was a hunting ground for Afonja's grandfather who was originally from Oyo. He was very rich on Elephant hide and tusks and established Ilorin

A lot of history on this thread.

Kwara state is not just about Ilorin.Taken that Ilorin has an Emir what about all other settlements in kwara, do they alos have Emir? The creation of Kwara and combining Yoruba in Kogi was a political fraud by government. The Emir that Alimi left was half Yoruba half Fulani and now that they marry Yoruba they are more Yoruba than Fulani and no issue with that.
The history of ilorin is different. From other towns and if a referendum is held today kwara and Yoruba Kogi will be in a Yoruba mega state.

Enegito: Thank God you know that some people like you need that.ode

I have reported you to the Mods.....I hope you are banned

Correct chap.

kwara state was conquered by usman dan fodio n d oduduwa indigenes wia forcefully converted to muslims..there is ntin oduduwas cn do again to reclaim it ,its either dt they hv to go to war wit d fulanis cuz d fulanis dont gv up witout a fight or n i knw dt d oduduwas ar cowards who ar scared of their slave masterz

Enegito: Thank God you know that some people like you need that.ode

Guy do you know you've not been making sense??

theSpark: Am not yoruba but let me chook mouth. Illorin people are just fulani by name, it is their town yes, they won it in war. It is only normal that they rule the town. They emir of Illorin is more yoruba than fulani, i dont see the need for a yoruba oba. It will just cause discord.

Kwara is geographically in the north, its based on geography that its in the North Central. Tribal sentiments are usually not followed when making such delineations. By the way, yoruba people as Northerners makes the country stronger.

You suggestion on 5 regions does not fly. It will cause more tribalism, and power struggle. Let it be made that states that want to unite should unite, those that dnt want should stay.

Which war was this? Please provide proper details.

Ndu Chuks is from the North, most likely Hausa or Fulani.

Really, when did Uthman DanFodio conquer Ilorin? Please share your half-baked knowledge.

Enegito: who told you idiot can a slaves win there masters?if you don't know the ans is BIG NO.YORUBA WILL ALWAYS BE SLAVES TO THE NORTH.SO GET THAT MONKEY

With your poorly constructed structures and poor diction, one can barely understand your points.

Please improve your use of the language so we can have a proper debate.
