KwaraRat:
The word "Yoruba" does not have any meaning in the language of the Olukumi People but traces it's origins from the mockery the Hausa/Fulani jihadist used in describing the once great race after they had sacked Oyo Ile (the capital of the old Oyo empire) and annexed Ilorin for the Sokoto Caliphate.

The word Yoruba is derived from the two words: Oyo and Oba and from the Hausa/Fulani dialect was pronounced "Oyoroba" and was a direct mockery of how they (Hausa Fulanis) captured Ilorin, killed Afonja and the Oba of old Oyo.

How the Olukumin peope will accept a known derogatory mockery as the name of their race baffles me.

Leave the Yoruba's alone, go and face the Fulani's Army who are littered all over the East. The same Fulani have been conquering the Eastern Region for ages.
They conquered them during Ojukwu, the Coward had to run out of the Country. They also conquered the East during Nnamdi Kanu, the coward ran away just like every Igbo chest beater will always do.

Fulani Army are presently opressing your people in the East, in the name of Python Dance and none of you losers could do shi.t. Na to dey form Rambo online una Sabi.

Oyoruba

Only you lost a whole province to Sokoto

Only you had your capital sacked and pillaged to the ground by Sokoto

Only you witnessed Jihadist expansion in the south and YET you still have the audacity to call others cowards?

Oyoruba, do you even know the origins and meanings of the term Yoruba?

Bighead9:


You have lost your entire Region to Aboki and their Army.

Ibadan began as a refugee camp

Oyoruba is a derrogratory term used by the conquering Fulanis in mocking your people. It is a combination of two words: oyo and oba and when pronounced by a Hausa/Fulani comes out as oyoruba which is now shortened to Yoruba.

Your very collective name which you use to identify your cowardly race was given to you by your fulani masters after sacking Oyo Ile and killing your Oba.

Pathetic!

wakaman:


You are only trying to displace your grief over your people dying more from hunger rather than bullets!
Sadly, you have not learnt!
Yanmmiririinnnn.

Trash. Address the issue at hand.

Modern day oyoruba owe every single aspect of their mutt culture to the Fulani conquerers. Without them you won't have the name yoruba or your slum ghetto Ibadan.

The Fulanis not only conquered and annexed Ilorin for themselves but went as far as sacking the old capital of Oyo empire.

The Yorubas did a tactical retreat from their pillaged capital of Oyo Ile and headed south, fleeing 90 miles to Ibadan - a then small remote town.

The new settlement then doubled as both the capital of the declining Oyo empire which was facing the ravages of an Islamic Jihad by Sokoto and also as a major refugee camp serving to host fleeing Yorubas from across the old Oyo empire.

The Jihadist had conquered the very capital of old Oyo empire and had annexed Ilorin for themselves so it wont be any surprise that smaller Yoruba settlements and towns in the old Oyo empire where being sacked with little resistance.

It is from the fleeing Yoruba population that Ibadan grew from a small town to one of the largest and densely populated areas in Africa.

We can forgive the British in defining Ibadan as a city when they first approached Ibadan but the honest truth is that Ibadan was nothing but a refugee camp.

Only two other local domains where described as ''Cities'' by the British and they relied on the classical definitions drawn from European antiquity.

The term city comes from citadel and it refers to a heavily fortified castle or town with watch towers. Ibadan had no such artificial defense unlike the cities of Kano and Benin.

The British used contemporary 19th century definitions based on population density and relative cosmopolitan makeup of Ibadan to arrive at the description of Ibadan being a city. Kano is famous for its surrounding walls which at some points was described by a British explorer as being up to 40ft thick. Benin was both walled off and had a complex moat encompassing the walls as a first line of defense.

So please lets not call Ibadan a city any more but rather refer to it for what it truly was - a massive refugee camp!

You have made this up. I refuse to read it.

TylerDurden:

Was oyo ile not pillaged by the fulanis?

Igbo with propaganda. This write up will amount to nothing. Trying to divide ppl. what of those whom u love with passion who took ur grandaparents to Euro for farming during slave trade and ended up giving u religion and lifestyle which u're very pleased and proud of today?

adecz:
Every city or town that the
Fulani 'captured' ( usurped) was always
through treachery & backstabbing.

The fulani, who were a wandering
ppl had no marketable trade. They were
either wandering herdsmen or clerics.

When they become comfortable with
the hospitality of any society, they begin
to plot against such a society..

That is the true nature of the Fulani
psyche, lazy, treacherous & betraying by
Character.

Check out all their major so-called 'conquests'
its always at expense of ppl who accepted
& accommodated them.

Coronabirus:
Is this the lies ur pastor feed u with?
u're bigotic ungrateful ppl. Everywhere u go in the core North there are native hausa or fulani Christians and they accepted the religion through Christian missionaries mostly of Igbo descent and set up ECWA Church. They didn't experience Persecution or harassment when spreading their gospel and until now nobody write any conspiracy theory abt thm. Igbos are the greatest evil in this nation always wanting to heat polity or set ethno-religious conflict. Igbo can't replicate what core northerners have done to the Igbo Christian missionaries because if today u convert to Islam in Igbo land u'll face Persecution & maltreatment similar to the people of ignorance.
I know the biggest pain of Igbo is seeing half of Yoruba ppl being Muslims because this will always kill their sinister plan.
U can't write other people's history by guessing and perception. Fulani issue is giving all ipigs HBP.
