Wow! this is interesting because...as far as I know, Fon is more spoken in Benin republic than Yoruba.

Wouldn't it be so lovely to see the Yorubas in Benin republic merged with their kith and kin in Western Nigeria? These guys are just exactly like us. And they are very hard working.

I just can't wait for that time when we'd have Yorubas from all parts of the world including places like Brazil, Togo, T&T, Cuba all in SW Nigeria smiley

Y'all need to see how much influence Brazilian returnees had on our architecture and the development of Lagos particularly. These are the people we need here. We should send these potor bricklayers developing the whole planet with Abiama cement to wherever they came from. I'm tired of seeing tennis racquet heads and bearded, mullah-looking women in Yorubaland. I'm tired!

Anyway...

yorubber muslim sorry i did not know this will pain you this must.but na question i ask and i still dey ask,how are those yorubber that side behaved,are they cowards like the one we have here in nigeria.

I'm not a Muslim as I don't believe an Arabian self proclaimed prophet has anything to offer me and I'm not a Christian because I don't know why a Jewish carpenter needs to die for my so-called sins neither am I a Jew as I'm already a proud Yoruba man. cheesy

You on the other hand is a study in confusion. Ohafia Muslims are increasing, wawa Christians are being discriminated against, aba Jews are praying to their ancestral gods in NRI evil forests while anambala Christians are still exporting powder to develop Asia cheesy

I'm sure you're one of the OSU that are not even considered human enough to live with or intermarry with cheesy

This is a welcomed development. The Yorubas of Benin Rep should form close to the same proportion as those in Nigeria at around 17.8% of the population according to their 2006 census. They are mainly native to Central and Southeastern parts of the country and they speak various southwest Yoruba dialects which form a dialect continuum with Togo.

Yoruba movies produced in Nigeria are popular among Yorubas in Benin. The Alaketu of Ketu once said that his people tune into Ogun state tv because it's broadcasted in Yoruba as opposed to the French language only programs offered in Benin.

There are notable Beninese of Yoruba ethnicities in Benin. The former president, Boni Yayi is from the the town of Tchaourou(Shaworo). Other notable Beninese of Yoruba origin include Angelique Kidjo who was nominated a total of 11 times, 3 of which she won. Samuel Oshoffa, the founder of the Celestial Church of Christ is also Beninese.

Yorubas are just very influential! They are native to 3 African countries and they have significant influence spanning 3 continents.

If Northern Youths, by a mere declaration, no violence, nor rioting, no attack but just holding a press conference, and in the aftermath cause Ibo elders to begin tremble with fear and issue their own counter declaration condemning the Biafra of Ikemba, then I wonder if there would be an Ibo today at all should Dan Fodio had visited you with jihad.

Amen. Do you know that till date, they still play and enjoy all Apala and Sakara music more than in Nigeria ? Most of their popular musicians are yoruba and always lace their lyrics with yoruba.

Trash from an accursed flatron head cannibal who hail from a tribe labelled as the curse of Africa. Who cares if your cannibalistic tribe is recognized in Sudan, you should go create a thread for it instead of pouring smelly spits everywhere like a castrated gorilla. You are even hiding under a name of those you hate just like ojukwu of cursed memory who ran away dressed like an Ajegunle Olosho. Shameless human eating animal

The report given by the nation's ambassador is what you claim to be false ? A statement made on behalf of the government ?
Apparently, you must have a mental problem. Since when do google become a raportoire of instant occurences all over the globe ?
Anyway, your mental state has assigned the job of satan to you. I pray you continue without an end. Satan does not rest because of Gods' lucky and happy children. He is only at rest with the dregs of this life.
Since you have willingly assumed his role of running helter skelter over other peoples' success, i pray for more grease to your restless elbows.
