Yoruba Cultural Belief Will Save Yoruba Land by mowapa(m): 1:11am On Jan 28, 2021
*Hausa man write on why Yorubaland will never be conquered*

If you carefully study the Yoruba people, they have a very strong ethnic bond which is very hard for external perpetrators to break.

I read their history especially about wars, I also lived among them some years ago. To my own knowledge, the only reason why Yorubaland wont be conquered is because of their traditional power, nothing again!

When fulani invaded hausa territory in 18th century, I couldn't comprehend till now why a foreigner will just come to your own land and conquers you. My historical research reveals that hausa people also practices traditions and there are Traditionalist in hausa land before Fulani Jihadists attacked them and conquers the territory. As an hausa man, I write with regret that we are confused in my land. The fulanis has mixedup with us. You cant identify an hausa man from a fulani, kanuri etc. We have lost the power to fight back.

Come to think of Yoruba people, the history recorded that the same fulani that conquered the hausa kingdom never succeeded in Yorubaland. Why?

I need to be sincere by putting aside religion, the traditional fighters in Yorubaland saved the yoruba Territory. The fulani attacked the yoruba kingdom suddenly and unprepared, but these men fought back to retain their Territory. They fought not with islam or christianity, they fought with both guns and Traditional power.

Write this down today for record purpose, yoruba will never be relevant again in life any day they do away with their culture or traditional practices. I have been to some countries where I saw yoruba cultures and Traditionalist, they are special especially in the western world.

Pastor Adeboye is not special because Christianity is a western religion, how can he be special when he's practicing a foreign religion. Christianity is like Islam that is well known. So you can't be special in that field. The same thing goes to the various sheikh, imams etc in Yorubaland. They are not special because islam is a popular religion brought to them. Just like almost all Africans.

If the fulani had met on Christianity or islam in Yorubaland when they invaded them in 18th century, then Yorubaland would have been like hausaland. But these Traditionalist fought with their powers by defeating the fulanis in various wars. I have read that fulani and yoruba are enemies historically.

Let me expose a secret, the fulani fears the yoruba people because of yorub Traditional power. Those practicing Islam in Yorubaland will be very easy for fulani to penetrate exactly the way they penetrated hausa people and Kanuri in the North.

Hausa was unable to fight back the fulani because of religion. Both fulani and hausa practices islam, so there is no a secret power in Quran that hausa will use against fulani because both of them knew about it. Look at the yorubas, they have something different which is known to them. And this is why they were able to use it against any foreign invaders.

Do not get me wrong, am not saying fulani, hausa or igbos etc in Nigeria doesn't have culture or Traditional powers. My point is that they didnt take those powers important, unlike the yorubas who made it important as their religion. Most of their kings are spiritual. How many of my Emirs have that type of power? Were there not hausa leaders in hausa kingdom before fulani conquers them? Why didn't they succeeded in Yorubaland?

The Amotekun, OPC and other yoruba security groups in Nigeria, do you think they just carry all guns and went to the forest?

When yoruba said they will mercilesly deals with Bokoharam if they (Bokoharam) ever tried to attacked their Territory, do you think this statements came from a pastor or Imam? It actually came from yoruba Traditionalist.

The fulani and other yoruba enemies have been looking for a way to penetrate Yorubaland, but this traditional power is their fear. Quote me anywhere. I know what I am saying! I am not a fool!

You dont compare black people with whites, we are different. We need to look back at history, I am an educated hausa man who knows much about history.

The day all yoruba becomes Christian's, Muslims or atheists will be the day Yorubaland will become ordinary and not culturally relevant like others. Then their closest enemies will come back and conquers them eventhough they fail to conquers their fathers in history.

Southern Kaduna is suffering death today because they have no special power for self defense. You can see how they keep killing them. Do you think if Southern Kaduna had been a yoruba Territory, OPC, agbakoya etc wont have confronted those killers?

Hausa is not the one killing them In kaduna, our people dont have that time. The miyetti allah and fulani should be questioned.
