Doluseun:

Fulani never conquered any Yoruba town aside Ilorin

ogbomoso the nearest town to Ilorin from Oyo are predominantly Christians in fact 70% to 30% because they were stopped from furthering their jihad Ay ogbomoso border

That's the only reason you have to believe that Ilorin didn't conquer ogbomoso ?
But sorry, you are a little naive. Conversion to Christianity was a British colonial legacy and not of Ilorin subjugation of Ogbomoso. Ilorin went as far as sacking Oyo Ile, what more of Ogbomoso enclave - they will be lucky, if they escape the majesty of Ilorin cavalry. smiley

Not so, the first Yoruba Muslim lived in Afonja's time - Solagberu
any Muslim prior to that time were slaves not Yoruba
We've had Yorubas Muslims many years before the birth of Uthman bin Foodee(Dan Fodio). Muhammad Shitta Bey who is a rich man was born in 1824, some years after the Fulani Jihad started. His father was a Muslim yoruba scholar. Bey built mosques in Lagos and other towns.

Don't mind al this sofos spamming the thread.

Dragonking:

I am only correcting the lies so many people are spreading here..I know it is bitter but the truth be told. on the being ruled by Fulani's issh, your ancestors tried to drive them away, grow some balls and do the same instead of fabricating lies and fantacies that aren't true.

Bro, u can cry me a river ooh!
No one is fabricating lies here, i'll urge you to re-read the article you shared and see the resemblance as that of this OP. Just saying same thing in different words that's hard for u to comprehend.
On growing balls to overthrow the emirate council. Who gonna suffer am? No b us, the indigene.... not you bro, we don't care.
This 2015, reason along bro. What has yiur town benefitted from bn rule by an Oba that is missing in Ilorin, apart from the diabolical fetishes show whc we ain't ready for.
So, u just want war, and u'll be happy? Is that the summary of your rants?
U need more than Jesus!

Alright.

I think both Oyo Empire and Afonja committed the political blunder then.

I'm just annoyed that a Fulani is an Emir in Yorubaland.

That's my anger.

Lobatan.
Why are we so sure that other Obas are indeed Yoruba.? Once again what does Yoruba mean . People who cling on to that concept have no understanding or a distorted understanding of history . To create empire you gain somethings and you lose others. Genetically I suspect that many people who we know as Yoruba are indeed Tapa or Hausa slave descendants who dissolved into the Oyo empire. The Oyos themselves are distinct from Ekiti and Ijebu. Finally Oduduwa came into Yorubaland from outside established a dynasty and rewrote history. The story of Oduduwa is no different from Alimi if we analyse it properly. Oduduwa was not a indigene.But then who did Oduduwa marry and his children after him. The queen of England is of German ancestry German . This is how kings come about ,they have to lay some claim of superiority of difference

MrPresident1:


Oduduwa did not come from Benin, Oduduwa came from the East, Heaven. Oduduwa is also the progenitor of the Bini: and they all came from heaven. I can prove it from the Bible.

MrPresident1 - this una well-known fallacious Oduduwa story again? And who told you "Oduduwa is also the progenitor of the Bini"? Is that another Yoruba version (latest one now) or you're simply making it up?

Simply to accept events and incidents that happened centuries ago is soooo difficult for you guys. You often find ways to weave fabulous stories to tarnish others history and subtly elevating yours.

Sorry to DISAPPOINT - Oduduwa is NOT the progenitor of the Bini. He was a Bini prince who escaped to Ife. The East you guys are talking about is actually Benin.

pazienza:
The loss of Ilorin must be painful to the SW Yorubas, while the Ilorin people themselves, seem not to care, I can relate to the pain of the SW Yorubas, I pray that one day, they will be able to unite the whole of Yoruba speaking people, from Kwara and Kogi, and even the Itsekiris, if they permit.

Nothing is sweeter than for Brothers and sisters to dwell together, I envy monoethnic countries like Germany,Korea and Japan, it must be a great feeling sharing same country with just people from your ethnic language only, you can go to any part of the country and speak your local lect confident that everyone understands you.

pazienza - you are LIAR. And a big one too. Listen to me very carefully; ITSEKIRIS are not Yoruba speaking people. If you do not know the history of the Itsekiris, kindly go do intense research and read widely how a nation, town and people in a place become known as 'same tribe' in modern day.

Even you Yorubas of today DID NOT originate from same place, same time, same ancestry. The word "Yoruba" was used to describe you and bring you under same influence is more political than traditional and culture.

Most of you in Yoruba land easily get hoodwinked with lies and fables your elder are weaving about other tribes, because it make you feel 'superior'.

makosine:
yorubas has been nice to non indigene ,so dont let be fools again,lagos be ware and warned

makosine - please keep off this funnt tirade about "Yoruba nice to strangers" which you people started parroting some years ago. And why do you guys often mention Lagos you talked about Yoruba being nice and strangers?

Sorry, I know tribalism and hateful egos, will not allow you people accept the truth. Lagos was earmaked by the Federal Government as a Federal capital terrotory and Commercial Center of Nigeria. Therefore, to activate the twin-position, most Federal government projects were concentrated in Lagos.

That's why Federal government built the Sea ports. Oil receptor known as Atlas Cove... Airports... Bridges such as Eko and Third mainland bridges... Estates... Major military barracks... Major road networks... New towns and so on.

So people came to Lagos for this reason and NOT because Yorubas are nice to strangers. In fact, you Yorubas also came to Lagos to hustle. As long as you are not an Awori, not Epe, not Badagry - you are also a "stranger in Lagos"

And should you want to take Lagos back? Then kindly submit all the Government establishment in Lagos built with Niger Delta oil.

I am not a Yoruba, I am Igbo. But I know that Itsekiris always have a soft spot for Yorubas, that's why I said, "if they(Itsekiris) permit".

No. But Germany is a German only country, same with Korea( both North and South) and Japan. They are monoethnic. Wouldn't it be nice for Yorubas to have a Yoruba only country?

You are mixing up your examples firstly we have established that the Germans and Koreans do not live in one Country. So that example is irrelevant.There is no such thing as a Yoruba nation ,there was never a Yoruba country in History so whether it would be nice is a childish proposition. I already mentioned there are Anagos in Benin republic and they too were never part of a Yoruba project

It is you that don't understand my point.

The point I was making was that the Germans, the Japanese, and the Koreans all have a country where everybody there is of the same language stock. My point was never about if all the Germans, Japanese or Koreans live in the same country.

You are the one that introduced that argument. Cos I was well aware that not all Germans are in Germany, that knowledge is elementary.

If you are scared of a Yoruba only country, that's your cup of tea. What I know is that there must be an Igbo only country.

Thank you.
