It was an Elderly man from Kwara State that told me,
You know I served in Kwara State, Bacita precisely,
So I'm acting based on information (Right Source) if You Know You Know

odigbosky:


Mama hep me tell dem ooo.
Mama I sent a message

mercyville:


These are the only cowards in Nigeria not empire builders like the Great Yorubas.

Tomide007:

Akoko edo in edo state speaks yoruba.

Born2Breed:


Don't the Akoko deceive you.

stonemasonn:
they're mostly Yorubas

OmoManU:
.
hope you know what you talking about sha, in a state where out of 16 local governments 12 is Yoruba, hope you are not mad and you will allow hatred in your heart let you see sense

NaijirianKing:


It's not about the name of the village or city. If an Ijaw man moves to a Yoruba area and adopts it as his village, that doesn't mean that the Ijaw man is Yoruba.

Sarah even said it.

"My great-great grandfather originated from Mali and I am talking about some 150 to 200 years ago. And they are Fulani and that is where we got our Fulani connection from. My great grandfather settled in Ilorin preaching the religion of Islam."

He is a Fulani, many Fulani are settlers. They're not truly from the place they "settled."

NaijirianKing:


You have to understand the Fulani man, anywhere he settles he takes on a bit of the culture and language of the host community.

In fact, in the core North some Fulani have become so "Hausanized" that they are almost indistinguishable from the indigenous Hausa people. It's a common occurrence.

Yup they speak Benin.

Why are u foaming in the mouth
Truth is bitter.
Read ur history
Kwara was conquered by the fulanis.
Yorubas are mere 2nd class tribe in kwara

NaijirianKing:


At one point in time, the ancient Oyo Kingdom founded that city and helped it develop. However, the Sokoto Caliphate began to wage war on weaker kingdoms in their immediate vicinity and the Oyo Kingdom with all of its riches was a prime target.

The Brittish invasion halted the Sokoto Caliphate from engulfing Oyo, and a line was drawn between the two mighty empires where Illorin stayed on the side of the victors, the Fulani.

The descendants of the victors stayed in their newly acquired territory and are still in prominent positions today.

technicallyrich:

remember a small minority tribe in ss/se conquered the derty afonajas.
Benin people conquered the afonjas i hope you know.
Fnally i am an ijaw man and not igbo.
I wont reply you agin wxcept you show me prove that you are no longer a weakk koward.

NaijirianKing:


Not entirely. The place was founded by Yorubas from the then Oyo Kingdom, however these original inhabitants were displaced by the new arrivals, those being the Fulanis and other groups from the Northern part of Nigeria who accompanied the Fulani in the raids.

That's why those people are now an amalgamation of different groups who adopted Yoruba as a lingua franca of communication. However, not everyone in that geographical area is a Yoruba person.

That's why they voted to stay with their brothers in the North when they had the chance to cast ballots as to which region they would belong to.

Iceberg3:


Hey pay attention!!! Don't mistake comrade Lzaa for some zombies.
I'm pretty sure you qouted the wrong person. Better recognise, thanks.

NaijirianKing:


I agree. Kwara is a Fulani state, but only has Yoruba names and language because that was the culture of the people who used to reside in that area, those people were displaced, but their cultural heritage and remnants still remain.

It's the same reason Lagos is called Eko, and Eko is Beni, but Yoruba took over the area but left the name intact. The same way Fulani and other Northerners now own that area and it is part and parcel of the North, but has ancient elements from Oyo.

NaijirianKing:


You're correct, Afonja caused confusion and betrayed his blood. A sad tale and a lesson to others to never betray your blood.

Yes, this is true, but the Sokoto Caliphate would've conquered the entirety of the Oyo Kingdom as Oyo was in a weak dynastic period plagued by many internal problems.

The point is that what happened in Kwara would have happened in the entire SW as well if the Brittish didn't show up and start fighting the Sokoto Caliphate.

mohlanforex:
Kwara state have 16 Local government area

12 Local government area belong to Yoruba

2 local government area belong to NUPE/TAPA

2 Local government area belong to Baruba

since 1999 till now all Kwara state Governor are all Yoruba

since 1999 till Now Kwara have 4 Governors, which one of them is from AFONJA family in idi ape, his name Muhammad Alabi Lawal

if Nigeria is to separate today, 12 yoruba local government area of Kwara state will automatically or by Referendum join oduduwa republic..

I'm from Ilorin
that's the fact.

NaijirianKing:



Kwara is not part of SW, they are not Yoruba, language doesn't make tribe, otherwise we English speaking Nigerians would be English.

Some Yoruba migrated their, but it's not a Yoruba state, otherwise it would be in the SW.
