Pick any Hausa history book and check the 7 banza states of Hausa, you will be surpriesd to see them include Yoruba.

Some history books record it as Oyo while others as Ilorin.

Whichever one, the abokis see Yoruba as banzad

The man is known to be irrational.

on behalf of nnamdi kanu, and ipob and Aisha buhari , u r now an igbo man

lol

Waiting wansign me...

This FFK is not as well-read as I thought.

He believed one account of many accounts. And the account he believed is the one that comes entirely from hearsays.

People don't seem to get the undertone of his post and what he is stylishly saying/doing- He's indirectly advocating for Oduduwa republic, just like IPOB, read between the lines.

Chisos! No wonder!

Femi Fani Kayode needs help before dementia take him over. He is just like his treacherous father. Who made him a minister in the first instance. He must be made to return his loot to Nigeria before he is sent to a rehabilitation home. Hard drug concoction is really working in the system of the bastard.

So treachery and unreliability is in their blood? No wonder they continue to endlessly suffer from Fulani deceit.

They need to take this man back to history, firstly let him find where Yoruba originated from, secondly let him find the named YAHABA and thirdly let him find what relate YAHABA And YORUBA.

if he get answer to all this, maybe he can come back to his sense.

It's true Hausa people call igbo = iyanmiri which means ibo man and called Yoruba people = berebe which means Yoruba man.

Have you always thought about where the word Yoruba originate?? Have you heard many misconception and misapprehension that left you baffled?? That was what got hold of me too so I decided to dig into it.
What is the meaning of Yoruba? Does it have any inclination to our language? This is a thought provoking topic that needs profound reasoning and intense research for better understanding.
It is time we faced the monster that keeps trailing us whom many try to ignore. In Yoruba culture, appellation is often derived from a prerequisite factor or foretelling. For fact telling, some name their child Owolabi hoping the child will bring fortune to the family, another one is that almost all Yoruba towns have their names derived from an event or a factor as illustrated in; Eba-Odan – Ibadan, Abe Okuta Olumo – Abeokuta and Ibi ti Ile ti yo – Oyo and so forth. However, these factors appear not partake in the word Yoruba.
I asked a lot of people to define Yoruba, nobody had a clue so I decided to return to history and I delved into what Yoruba scholars of the past centuries had written. Slowly I began to unravel the mystery of our name.
The first hint I got was from an ordinary search which spouted Yoruba. What does that mean?? I carried on, I moved on to the always ready Yoruba dictionary written by Samuel Ajayi Crowther which defines ‘Yoruba’ as a bastard and deceitful person.
Another came from the one I found on a scholarly written journal of Dr Taiwo Ayanbolu who insisted Yoruba is a name derived from Hausa language which means deceit. He claimed he found the definition at York Museum in England dating to the 19th century.
Before I go further here, I would like to stress how the name came aboard. It has been recorded that the Hausa-Fulani who had been in contact with the Yoruba even before the rise of Oyo Empire had for some reasons chosen to call us Yoruba, or Yaribansa.
Perhaps this might have been a result of Yoruba people’s bargaining skills which often made the Fulani traders fall victim of trade by barter. Another one I stumbled on was narrated by another scholar who said the name Yoruba started protruding during the clash between Yoruba and Fulani that steered the lost of Ilorin to them in the 18th century.
The Igbos had cleansed themselves off ‘Yinmiri’, a name the Hausa-Fulani had technically given to them. The igbos have today refuted Yinmiri to be a derogatory word, however, the reverse is the case for the Yoruba. From findings I have made, Yaribansa is a Fulani word meaning Bastard. An extremely derogatory word in Yoruba discourse.
I read one of Professor Ade Ajayi’s book “Yoruba Warfare in the Nineteenth century” where he insisted that during the indirect rule era, it was necessary for the imperialists to give a unique name to the entire towns and people who spoke Yoruba language.
Somehow, they settled for Yoruba. Yoruba is a deviation of Yoruba which the Yoruba people of that century rejected. The Ijebu, Ijesa and Egba rejected this name vehemently but because during the Kiriji war (the Yoruba civil war) where the collapse of Oyo Empire commenced and the signalling factor the imperialists used to prompt the rule over Oyo from covers. The name Yoruba was foisted on Oyo and Ibadan mainly on documents and slowly the name Yoruba was enshrined in our culture and hence, our appellation.
Research shows that the Egba were the last to accept Yoruba as their appellation, reason coming from facts emanating from the first newspaper published in Yorubaland in 1859, goes: Iwe Iroyin Fun Ara Egba Ati Yoruba. This indicates that the Egba refused the name Yoruba as at 1859.
Furthermore, I have read the Odu Ifa and I have familiarised myself with many Ogede Ofo, Iwure and Ewi of the past generations and I have never heard where we were referred to as Yoruba, rather, as Omo Kaaro Ojiire, Omo Oduduwa or Omoluabi.
I am penning this for us to know the origin of the word Yoruba, it is a bitter pill to swallow especially now that the name has travelled far and wide, should we try to augment our appellation Yoruba? certainly too late to make any sort of modification. We might as well just carry on dealing with it.

I have always maintained the fact that FFK is a lunatic that needs public pity rather than banter.

Attached is the original writings of the early 18th century that describes the Yoruba people even before the Dan Fodio Jihad. Most people problem is that they don't research and just regurgitate the nonsense online without reading. Only God knows how the lunatic FFK believed the Fulanis named the Yorubas and he keeps churning out the same rubbish through word of mouth.

When exacltly was the first time the Fulani came in contact with the Yorubas? Did FFK not know the first mosque was already built in Iwo in 1655 even before the Fulanis knew their way to the Oyo kingdom?

What is this one saying

The Library of Congress. There are thousands of historical facts about Nigeria that is well documented sometimes up to the 17th century.

The problem of most Nigerians is that we are not student of history and we all believe to much in hearsay which explains why there is no known factual history about Nigerian written by Nigerians.

The white man documented every aspect of their contact with the black man and most of those ancient documents are well preserved in print on the Library of Congress, the Australian library archives, and the recent one down from 1850s in the New York Times.

BuhariAdvocate:
Anyway this is second time i will heard yoruba name was coined by hausa people. I will make a findings about this i will not rebuke him yet.

Prof please do this Search for us all ODUDUWA is uniquely meaningful and I'm proud of it

Armaggedon:
He is correct. It is a known fact that the name "Yoruba" originated from Hausa/fulani's and applied only to Oyo area before British colonialism generalized it to include the rest of the Yoruba speaking people..

Isn't that contradictory? They were speaking "Yoruba" and the Hausa/fulani brought it to them...

Rubbish!

I have true source of historical fact (in real print) that made mention of the Yorubas as far back as the 17th century even before the Hausa/Fulani made contact with the west.

Those are well documented in the library of Congress Mr. Man.

FFK is a deranged fellow with little knowledge about history, all he ever known was majorly hearsays which do not have any historical backing.

How can the white man know Yoruba with the name as far back as the 17th century and FFK now came out to say the Hausa/Fulani gave the Yorubas the name in the 18th century.

Many are mad but few are roaming, FFK is one of the few!
