Your grandfather was from Mali, but your father's surname was Saraki: a yoruba surname; Your father's first name was Sola, he married a yoruba woman and he named his son: Bukola & his daughter: Gbemisola.
Now tell us how un-fulani can you get, stop dwelling on the confused foundations of Ilorin to peddle political lies. A real fulani man will never bear a yoruba name, because every African is proud of their heritage, and our names serve as a reminder of where we come from.

tonychristopher:
ROTIMI bears a yoruba name but he isnt...but why do you have issues...a man said that he is FULANI why are you still disputing that...nawa for people seff

lari03:
Remember Rotimi stated how his father cherished the name he was called. If you live in the north or have real fulani friends you will know that an average fulani man will never take up a yoruba name.
Secondly if the story was coming from Sola Saraki, then it would be more acceptable, but what Bukola is saying was the spin story they hatched to back up his run for the PDP presidential primaries pre 2007 elections, so my friend follow the trend and understand the game.
This is the reason a true northerner will regard him as a yoruba man or you think Abubakar an arabic name indicates fulani ancestry? Fulani is vertically different from hausa. It is easier to learn to speak hausa than to learn to speak Fulfude.
But if you believe his political deception well, no one can stop you, but the truth remains the truth.

Saraki is an Egba man from Abeokuta. His grand father was a Muslim scholar in Ivory Coast before returning to Nigeria and settling in Ilorin.

NDPVF:
Yoruba,all these lies wey una de tell,their is GodOoooo!.
Please respect Saraki for who he said he is!.
Stop fighting hard not to be seen as have been played fast one on,by Fulanis,so as to save face,for your utter stupidity and gross delusion.
Brace-up and accept the fact that,
1.President-Fulani
2.Senate President-Fulani.
Courtsey-Southwest stupidity.

tonychristopher:
but they had a yoruba mum...and she can name him any yoruba name but that doesnt change the fact that the man is a fulani...which he said by himself ...so why this argument?

seunmsg:



If the Yoruba mum is responsible for the children's firstname being Yoruba, how do you explain the Saraki surname then? Did they brought the Saraki name from Mali?

htconeline:
Ibo the lose tribe ahahhahahahah
They can as well call dino melaye fulani man......since everyone from north is fulani.
Even governor of Kwara is fulani according to ibo ideology.

OP, it seems the reality of Saraki being yoruba seems a bitter pill to swallow.

Do you think all African ethnic groups are not proud of their heritage like y1bos, that names their children names of other ethnicities eg Bamidele Azikwe -- that is even the first born of the greatest Y1boman that ever liveth.

His name is bukola.

His surname is saraki.

His father's name is Olusola.

His mother's name is Morenike

His sister's name is Gbemisola.

I love this "One Nigeria Fulani Family" then. They were so captivated by the alluring Yoruba names, languages and culture, that they embraced it in its totality.

tonychristopher:
they will claim everything just like the oduduwa ...failing from sky, from middle east. from benin


confusion everywhere but i think i will take what the man said about himself...HE SAID HE IS FROM FULANI in that interview and any other story is false or attachee

You idiotic bastard why is yoruba always Givin u headache? Everyday you dream yoruba

Yoruba never said any such thing about Oduduwa

And Saraki is a Yoruba man with fulani ancestry...a man who doesn't even know a word of fulah but speaks yoruba

We are nt like you fools from ur village who have been isolated for centuries

crisngige:
So the Emir Kolapo of Illorin is not Fulani because of his Yoruba name abi?Fulani adopt the names of the people around them in order to politicaly adapt and it works for them. There is nothing shameful about that.

masseratti:
saraki is not a Yoruba name for God's sakes.the name saraki is same as Turaki.

superstar1:


Revisionist.

Saraki in yoruba is an important personalty, an eminent person.

crisngige:
In the North Fulani speak Hausa. In Illorin they speak Yoruba; but they have their own language called Fulfude which they speak to among themselves. That Fula or Fulfude is the native language of Buhari and Atiku and Saraki and Tambuwal and Ribadu. Fulani are the geniuses of political organization.

But be is right ..:just like saying oba is a Yoruba name but its edo
