Well as a Hausa person myself its not in anyway a Hausa State. Although the name of the state is clearly of Hausa origin to me. |

Yoruba. Fula isn't Hausa and they constitute but a minority in that state. There's probably more Ebira and Nupe in Kwara sef. |

macof: Jebba was not founded by Nupe. Founded in 1703 by two brothers, Adebola Adebara and Odaso Adebara from Ajasse-Ipo in Irepodun local government area of the state, who were in search of greener pastures, Jebba town, a gateway to the Northern and Southern parts of the country, is bounded in the North by River Niger, in the West by Gata, in the East by River Osin/ Bacita and in the South by Alagbon.

Kwara can't be more than 70% Yoruba. Other ethnicities like Nupe, Baruba, Hausa, Fulani etc also exists as very important minorities especially Nupe and Baruba. |
Re: To You,is Kwara State A Yoruba Land Or Hausa? by Junior66(m): 7:02am On Sep 26, 2017 |
Opiletool:Yes I do! Although I don't believe you understand it much. If an emir exists in Kwara state how do you want me to express it? Is Ilorin not part of Kwara state anymore? I know where you are going though, it is only Ilorin town that is ruler by an Emir. It still doesn't negate my point. Thank you. |

Kwara state has 16 local governments, 12 out of those local governments are Yoruba l.g the other four are baruten, kaiama, edu and pategi and we have four primary languages in Kwara state which are Yoruba (16 l.g), Nupe (2 lg) Bariba (2 lg) with minority Fulani in Ilorin west. Kwara west and central is 98% Yoruba with the remaining 2% for the Fulani minority and kwara north is dominated by the bariba and nupe. Kwara state is formerly known as west central state which was later replaced with Kwara ( Kwara is a local name for River Niger by the Nupe). Mind you, Ilorin was never conquered at any point of time because Afonja the progenitor of llorin was the Are ona kankafo ( war commander)of the defunct Oyo empire and the head of Ilorin province in the Oyo empire, he had a misunderstanding with the Alafin of Oyo and he formed an alliance with a Fulani warrior and Islamic cleric Alimi to help him fight the Oyo empire. After the war, Afonja made Alimi the Islamic teacher in Ilorin and after the death of Afonja and Alimi, Alimi ground son Abdulsalam became the first Emir of Ilorin. Kwara is not Ilorin, Ilorin is just a city and capital of Kwara state and there other major Yoruba's towns and cities in Kwara e.g Offa, Erin ile, omuaran e.t.c. there is no indigene of Kwara that is Hausa and there is no Hausa languages in Kwara state. The Fulani in Ilorin are not up to 10%, the Fulani in Ilorin speak Yoruba and cannot even speak Fulani, even the Emir himself does not understand Fulani because the linguafracal of the Ilorin's palace is Yoruba and the Emir has a Yoruba's name, the current emir's name is Ibrahim KOLAPO Sulu Gambari. Just like almost all Yoruba's land has Oja oba (King's market) beside the palace, Ilorin also has Oja oba not Emir's market. Ilorin is ruled by a Fulani man but is a Yoruba's land just like Kenya man Obama ruled U.s.a before. Emir and Emirates system of government belonged to the Arabs and not the Fulani it was only adopted by the Fulanis after they accepted Islamic religion. Ilorin is different case entirely to some Hausa's towns and cities that was conquered by Usman Dan fodio because llorin was never conquered by the Fulani fyi, Am a Yoruba man from Ilorin, my dad is from isale bani, Alore, Ilorin and my mum is from the royal family in llorin and her name is Toyin and she see herself as Yoruba cos she can't speak Fulani she also has Pele tribal mark just like other Ilorin people has Abaja, pele, gombo tribal mark. even the minorities 10% have inter marriage the Yoruba Ilorin. I speak Yoruba dialect of Ilorin just like the Offa speak ibolo dialect, just like the Erin ile speak Igbomina dialect and the Ekiti Kwara speak ekiti dialect. The Ilorin Yoruba is almost the same with Oyo dialect Yoruba though, there is few exception like 'faaa' which is Fulani influence. 13 Likes 6 Shares |

I've noticed that Hausa/Fulani always tend to be happy whenever they meet Kwarans, maybe it's due to the fact that they know they have a foothold there. 1 Like |

They can barely make a complete sentence without referring to my part Yoruba blood, I mean one of your parent's family perpetually referring to you as Omo Yoluba, Ndi Ofe manu etc. Meanwhile, I don't have such issues among the Yorubas Ezigbo madu means good person. 7 Likes
