DerideGull: What a laughable, baseless and unsubstantiated claim. Honestly, this thread has become a joke. |

Pukkah: It is true! Tilapia? Sorry, Tpia confirmed it. She is an authority as she has carried out an empirical research all over Yorubaland most especially Ogun state, even though she hails from Ondo. 2 Likes |

bokohalal: Don't go too far. Who founded Akure? A prince from Ile Ife did. What's the meaning of 'Akure'? It came from 'akun re', meaning the beads have cut or broken. It got its appelation of 'oloyemekum', shortened to 'oyemekun' following the incident in which one of the chiefs caught a tiger alive. Akures are Yoruba people. 4 Likes |

DeLaRue: It is interesting to see some folks, already sharing imaginary spoils in the event of a strengthened Federal structure. Hmm...I laugh. I laugh because these people who I guess are probably from Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos State think we are back in the 60's when Ondo (including Ekiti then) got a raw deal. |

Desola: It is many of such assertions that have turned this thread to comic relief. Lol. Unique bond between the Ijebus and Igbos. I laugh. Igbos marry randomly all over Yorubaland except these authorities on inter-tribal marriage care to share their statistics with us. Similarly, Yorubas marry across Igboland. It might make sense to say that the Ore or Owo people marry the Edos more (and vice versa) due to proximity and trade. It is expected. But to pull out a sub-group in Yorubaland as being the target for marriage by another tribe, without stating any reason (s) whatsoever is to say the least illogical and ridiculous. 6 Likes |

tpia@:Something like that. You will agree that the Yoruba tag does not sufficiently cover some groups with that label. There is a world of difference between an Ibadanman and an Ekitiman. Also, the Edo identification of people or group is based on their historical interaction with such and not colonial. OGHO (OWO), EKA (IKA), EKWALE (UKWUANI) are some others. |

jebus are the only clan in whole of SW that have similar characteristics like the " igbos" just that their fellow yoruba clans interfere in ijebus culture. I know one ijebu man that wish his clan where close to the wise men of the east,they could have been a lot better |

Sorry everyone, I started the thread and appeared to disappear. I didn't mean to be rude. I ran out of juice on my laptop and was hoping it would be back but up till now, nothing. I had someone over to fix my gen, but when I got home it still didn't work. As a final act of desperation, I thought to try a DIY on it, and presto, it worked! And no surprise, I see I have been attacked by the usual suspects. We shall see when the time comes! Just to clarify again, I rarely get involved in the usual e wars (though I've taken the bait occasionally), - check my records. All I am saying is that there is no reason why Akure cannot be the capital, in every sense. Lagos and Ibadan cannot keep taking and taking while Ondo and Ekiti remain behind. Bringing the capital to Akure will ensure that Akure, and hopefully Ekiti get accelerated development - surely this wiull be to the benefit of everyone, including our great Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo people. Of what good is Lagos and Ibadan, if everything around them remain more or less as they were in the 70's? |

I had someone over to fix my gen, but when I got home it still didn't work. As a final act of desperation, I thought to try a DIY on it, and presto, it worked! Why didn't you make a case for Akure being the capital city with grounds for your demands; from the onset? Rather, you came out baring your biceps showing your tiny muscle and asking for anyone to come and see if they measure up. Your approach was very wrong indeed. I am a Lagosian, but I make for Ibadan to stay as the capital because of not rich heritage and accomplishments. Now, this is not saying that Akure hasn't achieved similar feat but it does not boast of similar size and diversity as Ibadan. More so, Ibadan's dialect is standard and easier to understand. 1 Like |

I expect they will question my Yorubaness. But that changes nothing. And you having a field day thinking Yorubas are at war with themselves changes nothing too. There is no need hiding our concerns for fear that Igbos or anybody else will say we are disunited. If anything, this is meant to be an intellectual discuss. The bit about Ondo exiting the Southwest was just to draw attention. What is absolutely clear though is that we will not allow ourselves to be treated the way we were previously. We want a fair prosperous Yorubaland where every child, wherether s/he is based in Ogbomosho, Ikere Ekiti, or Ifon has equal economic and social opportunity, and social justice which is at the core of Yoruba values, prevail. In this scenario, there is no room for one group of people to lord it over others. PointB: lol, 1 Like |

May be my composition skills are not as good as yours. But this thread is all about Akure being a suitable and deserved capital and is specifically in response to comments on the other thread about Kwara. Please let us keep the insults aside for now. You talk of Ibadan. But Ibadan already has the 3rd largest GDP amongst Nigerian cities. It has less to benefit from being a capital thatn Akure, Ado Ekity, or even Oshogbo. Desola: |

Train is all well and good. But then, somewhere has to be the capital city of the region. That is the point of this discuss. django1: Let me help this op, you see in the case of a break up and an o'dua nation is formed, the first thing that would be done (I believe) is to build a high speed train network within the major cities, once that is done there won't be any need for this jittery, sebi |

I agree entirely. The idea that all Yorubas must be clubbed together in one administrative region is nonsense. We can be friends, but we dont need to run a government together, unless we can reach reasonable agreement. Pukkah: 1 Like |

Interesting thread. DerideGull: I honestly don't know or think Ijebu's marry Igbo's in droves. I can use my family tree and I don't think there's anyone married to an Igbo. But I can see a few Ghanaian women with Ijebu babies. I might be the first, who knows? However, Ijebu's do have unconditional love for Egba's and Awori's - and the bond is very strong. Anyway, I can say Ijebu's do get along with Igbo's, perfectly. Ijebu's are merchants and apparently they were the first to spend money in Nigeria. And getting money is Ijebu-esque. And I heard Igbo's do their little thing when it comes to money/business the informal way. So it's only right for the big brother and the original money-maker (Ijebu), to get along with his prodigy (Igbo). I know my pops has a lot of Igbo friends - and I'm also surrounded by a lot of Igboid people. Same with my brother and my uncles. 2 Likes |
