That does not make them less Yoruba!

Really?If that is the case we should be counting people like Olauda Equiano as one of ours.

For real! So it is no longer one's father nativity that determines ones nativity, it is where one has travelled to and returned from. Double hail for your logic.

Fathers nativity is reflected in his surname and the kastbtike i checked these names aren't African

It does,you can't be counting on freed slaves as native Yorubas while you ignor our own freed slaves like Olauda Equiano and numerous others.
Mbanefo was born and bred Igboman likewise Akanu Ibiam.

He was born in Sierra Leone to an ijesha father, his elder brother is Oguntola Sapara, fact that the man decided to use Williams does not change is nativity. Sapara is the father's name.If your analogy does not apply to Louis Mbanefo for bearing a Louis it should fail for Sapara Williams. Last time I checked Louis is not an Ibo name. Take away Sapara Williams next ten after him will still be yoruba.

I told them that Sapara was a Yoruba name, they didn't believe me. They said it was Creole. cheesy Even me that I am not a Yoruba person, I can see that it is not an English name.

When you allow those you are discussing with begin to draw knowledge from you, you have missed it. No one will oblige you, go and do your research and return to tell us Sapara is not a yoruba name.

Point of correction Sapara Williams was not a slave and there is no way you can get a formal British education without travelling out of Nigeria. Slaves cannot be called to the English bar. Where did Mbanefo study? Aba ! shey? Nuff said.

Oh really? Were you not the one who said: "All those names are not native Yorubas..." I simply pointed out, that one of them was a Yoruba name.

paramakina202:
Quote-The first Yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first Igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937. Again the first Yoruba medical practitioner, Dr. Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first Igbo medical practitioner, [b]Dr. Akannu Ibiam, [/b]graduated from another Scottish University in 1935. Again I ask, where did the ignorant hypothesis of the backward Yoruba race who needed development by the superior Igbo race come from? For the sake of our generation and posterity we need to teach factual history and not just cook up some rooster and bull ego-centric concoctions as facts. The attitude of recycling long tales steeped in empty arrogance should be discarded before you miseducate your kids with fictions.
All those names are not native Yorubas but freed slaves while Mbanefo and Dr. Akanu Ibiam are native Igbos.

Nathaniel King assisted Ajayi Crowther in the interpretation of English Language to Yoruba, same Ajayi that gave Ibo it's primer to be able to read and write Ibo language. Same people now have the temerity to say ish about their teachers. Yoruba are intergalactic miles ahead of Ibo, it is a cold hard fact.

So when something is not native to Yoruba it can't be anything else than English or Creole?Anyways I need confirmation that Sapara is Yoruba.
Na wao.

Adedapo Kaypde, FFK 's grand father was called to English bar in 1922 after graduating from the one and only Cambridge university. By that time mbanefo must be in a diaper if at all he has been born at all.

This argument is plain silly. Your people migrate to Lagos everyday which for all the arguments spewed above remains a South Western state. Y'all could just stay back and prove that your impact would be missed by developing your second rated cities. If Lagos is so "ownerless" just cut it from the map and place it next to Ebonyi State.

Nonsense arguments on both parts. Imagine having to travel long hours by bus to develop a "no man's land"
