That's not possible now. He can say who and who doesn't become the next governor of Lagos.

Story. He is now Apc and pdp joined together..tell me another tori.

THIEF, MURDERER, BASTARD, FOOL, NINCOMPOOP, OLOFO, ASIWIN, OLORIBURUKU, ASIWERE etc...

It means Bastard* !!!

I'm not a tinubu supporter but this agenda is dead on arrival.

oyinkinola:

BeLookingIDIOT:

He should have used PIGS instead...

oyinkinola:

Formerly in Kwara State, now in Niger State, courtesy IBB.

Is that fair?

Sir Borgu was actually conquered sir

It was when Oyo was conquered than Baribas were conquered.


And Yes Ilorin was never recognized as an Emirate until the arrival of British on Nigerian soil.

Borgu is even far larger than Bruten and Kaima in kwara state, they occupy a decent portion of Western Niger state and Northern Benin republic.

The history of that area is muddled if we even go deep. Let me break it down. The Fulani did not really come down to conquer those areas as people may think. Only a few Fulani fighters joined the push. But majority of the Jihadist were indigenes. In Bida for instance, the leader of the Jihad was a Nupe. He was even the first Emir of Bida Emirate until a Fulani leader spring up to take power.

Consequently, in Ilorin Afonja lead the Jihad there. Rebelling against Oyo was to make Ilorin an Islamic town. A lot of people don't know that Afonja was a Muslim. He joined forces with Alimi to achieve this task. However, the palace coup that happened in Bida, was what happened in Ilorin. Alimi plotted against Afonja and had him assassinated. It was in the demise of Afonja that Alimi made his son Abubakar the first Emir of Ilorin. It was he Abubakar that structured Ilorin into the Balogun houses. But inspite of Ilorin being ruled by Alimi it wasn’t recognized by Dan Fodio until the coming of Sultan Bello when Abubakr went to collect the Jihad flag. And it was this period that Islamic scholars added Ilorin to the Banza Bakwai Hausa history.

For the other Emirate such as Borgu, it was the British who joined the Bassa emirate in present Niger with that of Kiama emirate in present Kwara into what we know as Borgu emirate in 1954. However, it was the Bassa emirate that fought Lugard tooth and nail before they were defeated. That was why Lugard made Bassa the head of Borgu Emirate. For the Baruba people, there are scattered in Kaima and Bassa. But they dominate Baruten LGA in Kwara north.

Jagaban means chief slaver : that is, the slaver of South west.

Someone asked me same question yesterday and this is my interpretation for such name in yoruba language:

Awon agbara ti won nje gaba ni ori igbega ile Nigeria....meaning....powers that are ruling over and limiting the progress of Nigeria.

helinues:
It's a chieftaincy title.

Jagaban of Borgu land

gbagan, Borgu is a town located in niger state north central nigeria...go check it

When has pdp ruled Lagos? Ambode was the former governor but lost in the last APC primaries to sanwolu because he( ambode) had misunderstanding with Tinubu.

yarimo:
BORGU is in north central, a local government in niger state. kainji dam is located in BORGU. the late emir haliru dantoro who was senator when bola Ahmed Tinubu was senator also . the late emir was BUHARI best friend.

Late Emir of Borgu, Alh. Haliru Dantoro, I believe.....used to be in the news in the eighties.
Looked a bit like Buhari.....they were very close friends.

EdoDefence:


You Afonjas and fabrication of history, Borgu was never under Oyo Kingdom and Oyo was never an Empire

Indomie generation. This is why history needs to be brought back to school

In his miserable life,no one know that fool in igboland.

Yet your people are all over the place shouting his name as if he ever lived in your land or ruled your land before, you people must be really insecure to keep ranting about a man who has never ruled your and has never asked for your useless 5%votes before.

Ibadansun1:
Borgu kingdom use to be under the Oyo empire and the Jagaban of Borgu was the right hand of Aare ana Kankafo(army chief of Yoruba land) in fighting wars against Oyo enemies.

Jagaban is the simply the army chief of Borgu Kingdom.

Lie kill you there!
Borgu kingdom is in Niger state and that’s where Tinubu got his chieftancy title from.
