MrPresident1:Which Fulani are you talking about You keep banging on about Fulani.Fulani from where exactly. There was no Fulani incursion. There was an Ilorin incursion(Marching south from Ilorin) and they were not Fulani they were mostly Oyo renegades with mercenary soldiers who were Hausa,Nupe,Fulanis etc that had lived in Oyo territory for ever.This was during the slave trade and Oyo was very cosmopolitan before the schism many were freed slaves and what they had in common was Islam they were largely Oyos. To the North of Ilorin are Gwari and Nupe Kingdoms so I must ask again where these "Fulanis" are coming from? This is a commonly held misconception but even to this day how many Fulanis are in Nigeria? Ilorin was not about Fulani suzerainty neither is it the case even in Hausalan where you have so called Fulani Emirs. I would say how is that different from Oduduwa and his sons were they Yoruba? Yes they established a dynasty but did they change the DNA? Have Fulani changed the DNA in Kano? If you are looking for Fulani ruling Fulani look at the Lamido Adamawa and guess what they now speak Hausa 5 Likes |

Hanibal: The Alaafin was the paramount ruler of Yoruba land, but, you might want to remove the Ijebus from that list, they were not really part of Yorubaland as such, they were more concerned about Lagos and the Seas than the hinterland, the hinterland Yorubas were also more concerned about the North than the Seas, the Ijebus really guarded the sea jealously. 4 Likes 1 Share |

hercules07: Man you got jokes As aptly put by Oonirisa, Alaafin's empire died a long time ago. Quickly, I am sure you did not know Ife is one of the few towns still occupying its original site for centuries? You also apparently did not know Ife and Ijesa have a strong bond and they have often rooted for Ife and vice versa - even Ijebu. 4 Likes |

MsNas: Lmao @ stingy Ijebu. Without them, the Egbas would still be in Ibadan as the owners - not where they are now. And you'd probably be from one of those hinterland Yoruba subgroups loool. Do you know a quarter of Ibadan folks are Ijebu? And the current Olubadan of Ibadan is also Ijebu? Looool. No beef here - just posting facts and kicking knowledge so other folks can learn from my scholarship about Yoruba history. Don't get emotional. Anyway, Ijebu means too much money, the money maker and unconquered Yoruba territory that never paid taxes to any kingdom. Not stingy. Bring ya ar.se here, let me smack it lool. 1 Like |

hercules07: Ijebu guarded seas? The awujale must have been Asari Dokubo pf that period LOL! The Ijebu played a pivotal role in Yoruba history; the politics, economics snd social aspects, all of it. Alaafin ruled many Yoruba towns exclusive of some - Ife, Ijebu, the whole of Ijesha land (which spread to Ekiti). 1 Like |

hercules07: Loool. Yoruba folks on these sides always disrespect the supreme Ijebu crown on Awujale's head. I dunno why but it is cos most of them don't know anything about Yoruba history. Imagine folks grouping Awujale with all these modern kings who got their crowns from Ooni in the 19th century - bwaahahahaha. Conquered territories. What insolence! Anyway, I rate both Alaafin and Ooni, and those are the only two Yoruba king I'd put over Awujale. Oyo: due to its size and the greatness it achieved. And Ife as the home of all. You lot need to sheathe ya swords - one love and one big Yoruba. One nation! |
Re: Picture Of Eleko Of Eko, In London, England Circa, 1950s. by MrPresident1: 6:41pm On Apr 13, 2015 |
omonnakoda: The Fulani horse was destroyed at Osogbo by the Ibadan army who were loyal to the throne of Oyo. In this war, many prominent Ilorins were captured, they were fighting under the banner of Islam and fully supported equipped and encouraged by the Fulanis. Fulanis being very crafty and full of subterfuge would have obtained the kingdom easily if the renegades had been successful. And just as Abdusalami invited the flag from Gwandu, the new conquerors would have invited the flag from Sokoto directly. |
