THE DAY OF OMO BURUKU
1.When Afonja rebelled against his overlords, the Alaafin, many of the regional rulers supported him.
2. When Alimi staged his bloody coup against Afonja, many top Yoruba generals, including Balogun Alanomu, were with him. Afonja was killed with the help of Yoruba soldiers.
3. Alaafin decided to lead his troops to battle to reclaim Ilorin from the hands of the Fulani. At the thick of battle, Onikoyi, his strongest general, changed side and joined the Ilorin host. The Alaafin was slain.
4. After the defeat of the Ilorin hordes at the battle of Osogbo in 1840, the Ibadan sent a powerful division to Offa to defend the city against the siege of the Ilorin. But some Offa chiefs, opposed to the Olofa, opened their city gate to the Ilorin forces. The Ibadan retreated with the Olofa who was assisted to set up a new town, Ofatedo, near Osogbo. The Ilorin commander, after seizing Offa, denounced the Offa chiefs as traitors and ordered them executed.
5. During the First Republic, the forces that were used against the Action Group were mainly Yoruba politicians and judges.
6. During the Second Republic, the forces were again mobilised to thwart the aspirations of our leaders.
7. During the current dispensation, voices of elders that should be voices of sobriety and sagacity continue to preach division, hatred and fear.

We need to know that the enemy is at the city gate like in Offa of old. However, tackling the challenge requires the bold step of loving our neighbour, and looking at him in a different light. Until we conquer hatred with love, we are going nowhere.

Tinubu or Igboho....

The two of them are ‘omo buruku’ as far as I am concerned but they have their usefulness...

Like for Tinubu or share for Igboho.

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnn


Yorubas hate theirselves so much more than any other ethnic group in Nigeria and they can oppose each others interest to the extent of aligning with the enemy...


They are the weakest link to penetrate the south.

The are weakest link to penetrate the south

U are right Bros, betrayal and treachery has long been in the blood of the Yorubas. They are by far the weakest link in the south and Nigeria as a whole. I am Yoruba by the way. It is highly disappointing

Anybody can write anything.
Tinubu is not a true representation of we, the Yoruba people.

You may think it’s wokeness by opposing Yoruba interest because you don’t like some people, but know that you’re only playing to the benefit of your own enemies. They will support you to attack one of your own and when they achieve their aim, they will turn on you. Yorubas, be guided. “Abo oro lanso f’omoluabi, toba denu e, adi odidi”.

Moferere:

This is not about Tinubu, the writer is talking about backstabbing and treacherous nature which is inherent in Yorubas for more than 2 Centuries. Yorubas are known for joining forces with enemies to fight their own.

Who are the forces?

And who are the forces at the old offa road?

I believe he is not implying fulani

Fulani is not the problem of the yorubas.

Who can remember vividly that during Goodluck Jonathan time, yoruba people didn't occupy any strategic post in his government

The reality is that his post is inciting hate on fulani people while also preaching love your enemy.

I wonder what sort of philosophy is that.

Fulani has never been yoruba problem.

If you're into politics you'll know it happens where you can join forces with your enemy to remove someone.

If not for the Intervention, between Rochas and hope duel

Didnt you know Rochas has joined forces with iheodia to remove Hope?

thebosstrevor1:
Yorubas have no leaders, they jump on any train because it benefit their personal interest.

Sunday Igboho is an example, he is not a defender of yoruba people but a defender of his bosses for 2023.

In 2023, he will be rewarded with a position under the pdp or be discarded.

Aboki with 15the century mentality.
If you guys can single handled make president,Buhari should have been president since 2007

Without one of the south support you guys can't make anyone a president

And BTW, it doesn't matter if its ibo or Yoruba or Niger delta.
As long as its southerner, everyone is okay.


Oya lemme see your tears

The Muslim terrorist King in Iwo comes to mind

I think we should get history straight.

Didn't Afonja revolt against Alaafin because he wanna be independent?
Same way the Ekiti parapo and ijeshas revolts against Ibadan because they wannabe independent?

Oya lemme see your tears

In Nigeria, no single tribe can make itself a president.

There is what is called pragmatism, even if you dont like your opponent, you can still do business together...that is how politics works.

When goodluck Jonathan was president, he didn't give the yorubas any position, but he was from the south

Sure, no single tribe can make a president.
But one thing is sure.
If we're to go vote by regional lines in North vs South

South will win north hands Down.
Not all middle belts will votes in line with North.
There is no single Hausa/Fulani state in the middle belts

thebosstrevor1:

Yes he didn't give any position to us.
But him don wise now and the entirely south.
We were doing father Christmas and forming one Nigeria in the south before not knowing you guys are tribalist to the core.

You are just chestbeating.

You think other southerners care about yoruba people?

Goodluck was a southern, he was president, did he give the yorubas any position? No. Yoruba elders went to abuja, a million times, complained with their press, till he finished his tenure, he didn't listen to them.

The reality is that the fulanis and hausa have always been generous to the yorubas anytime they are in power.

The richest woman in Africa is a yoruba woman, got that riches because she was close to a hausa family( abacha)

Maybe Legendhero can help with the actual history but the author of the OP is a well respected journalist and historian.

However, Afonja was not a freedom fighter in the mould of Fabunmi and Ogedengbe who fought the Ekitiparapo war. Ekiti existed long before Ibadan and was never a vassal state to Ibadan so the war of independence was justified. In Afonja’s case, Ilorin was a vassal state of the Oyo empire and he was even a war chief of Alaafin Aole. Ilorin was also not under Oyo slavery unlike Ekiti people under Ibadan ajeles. So, Ilorin and Ekiti/Ijesha situation were different.

There is nothing like he don wise, he knew what he was doing.

Why didn't he give yoruba people position when he was in power? That should be the question.

Continue deceiving yourself, the yorubas are also tribalist even among themselves, a yoruba man from ekiti can not get a job in osun state. Never.

Your politicians wont agree with your statement.

Every pragmatic person in politics understands the need of every tribe support.

Only extremists do not understand that.

Fulani people are not your problem, yorubas are the problems of yorubas.

All i know, fulanis are not the ones killing yorubas for rituals, you guys do it on yourselves

Rituals is different which is been addressed

What about heardsmen killings?
Need of every tribe supports yet you're killing those that,will support you on their farms?

How many times do you see any Yoruba man killing you on your farm in the north

In fact it is a known fact that an Hausa man carries knife everywhere and he's prone to violence.
This is the truth you can't refute

An ijebu man is hated by other yorubas

An ibadan man is also hated.

This guy says an ijebu man is hated, Ibadan is hated, ondo etc.

Kuku say all of our clans and tribe hate each other.
Lemme show you screenshot of a recruitment of kwara state teaching service

So tell me if Yoruba still hate each other, this is just kwara state that is even 70% Yoruba employing none indigenes, not to talk of full Yoruba states, this is to tell you, its in our blood we are free to everyone
