In a nutshell , Afonja was a Yoruba traitor who helped to destroy the Oyo empire and handed over Ilorin to the Fulani jihadists in exchange for a promise of cooperation to install him as the Yoruba leader. He was promptly kicked out by the Fulanis, who till today, rule Ilorin which is 98% Yoruba. That is why you have Olusola Saraki, Bukola Saraki, and Agboola Gambari , Fulanis with fake Yoruba names and outlook, lording it over these "most educated" of Nigerians , right in their own land and with their acquiescence. Yet today, in order to spite their Igbo rivals who they helped the Alimi tendency to defeat in Biafra, they shout to the rooftops that the Yoruba race had never been defeated!!
As for Aalafin Aole, after being sentenced to commit ritual suicide by the Oyo Mesi( the Yoruba Parliament), he cursed the Yoruba race and predicted that they will be carried to the four corners of the earth as slaves and that their former slaves would rule over them. He fired four arrows to all the four corners of the compass. That is perhaps why at least 80% of the black slave diaspora, from Brazil to the Caribbean, to Cuba and the USA is of the ethnic Yoruba stock, a really sad situation, which is unfortunately celebrated by some "educated" Yoruba people as a sign of Yoruba dispersal all over the world.
You have a Yoruba name, so please read the book, "A History of Nigeria" by my mentor, the late Professor F. Ade Ajayi and also the seminal work "The Black Mans Dilemma " by Areoye Oyebola and you will learn that the rain started beating the Yorubas and Nigeria from a long time ago and has not ceased after several centuries. Epelle OO!!

it's obvious this op is a pained tribalistic attention seeker

but is there any atom of truth here

I have always wondered why the Yoruba's of Kwara are called Afonja's descendant, now i know.

sampaiolukap:
Not All The Yorubas In Kwara.. There Are Descendants of Afonja in Ilorin And that's a Place by the name IDI-APE,very close to the Emir's Palace... The Former Governor of Kwara The Late Mohammed Lawal got the Blood of Afonja Cuz Pple do Address him then as "Ekun Omo Laderin" And u Know Laderin is the Father of Afonja if I got it right.. The Afonja Descendants are Entitle to two chieftancy title in the Palace which is Baba Isale(Godfather) And Mogagi Aree(the Aree was Gotten from the word Aree Onakankanfo).. So the Mogaji Aree is the Head of Afonja Descendants who represent them in the Palace... Ilorin History is somehow that you Hardly Know the real One.. Those who can clear all Doubting Issues about the City are no More and those that has Knowledge won't talk about it..

BishopMagic:
Any of you who had the privilege of a descent secondary school education will understand the "frog in water" theory.

The Frog in water theory stems from the lab experiments done in biological classes to show how cold blooded reptiles depend on their surroundings for warmth.

It basically involves two stages;

The first stage involves putting the frog in a beaker of hot water. Naturally the frog jumps out of the beaker due to the hot temperatures.

The second stage involves placing the frog in a beaker of cold water and slowly heating it up on a Bunsen burner. Remarkably the frog just sits there oblivious of what is going on. It will continue in this state of oblivion until it dies from the steaming water.

Now, when we apply this frog in water theory in our political landscape I see only parallels with the SW political class and general populace who never see beyond their noses.

It usually takes sweeping and drastic changes for the SW electorate to react just like the frog when placed in hot water but the SW is usually oblivious to slow and latent changes.

For how can we reconcile how the SW will suddenly again root for Buhari after 3 decades? The last time Buhari arrived on the political scene, he was supported heavily in the SW because at that time Shagari's govt was so vilified by the SW press that any "change" no matter how undemocratic or unconstitutional was welcomed.

Fast forward to present day and we can see how a well oiled propaganda machinery steered the SW voting block back to buhari.

They were made to believe that Buhari has since repented (this is the cold water stage) and can not act despotically in a democratic setting.

But since Buhari was sworn in he has never even bothered to tour the SW and show his gratitude for the enormous and crucial support they lent him. It is obvious that the SW press and media consultants were able to re-brand an old duara goat like Buhari to appear as a docile sheep.

Now that Buhari is slowly showing the SW that a despot at 40 is a despot for life they still cling stubbornly to the change rhetoric and Buhari's mythical puritan disposition.

The SW may never know they have entered one chance just like our frog sitting in the beaker of lukewarm water.

Op, you are suffering.

You have twisted facts and it is very glaring in your story. That means your story has no value and it is completely useless.

You see, that is the danger of not eating enough palm oil. If you had been eating enough palm oil, your brain would have adequate LDL and it would have been more functional.

Boy, try another trick next time. This one is DOA ( Dead on Arrival)...and make sure you eat enough palm oil before posting next time; it will help you to think and write better.
