Instead of Odualand i think the name that will fit the yoruba nation is democratic republic of yoruba. Endorsements needed.

Pipe dream.

It will represent an heritage of all yorubas all over the world.

Sounds good to me,

Eko Ile:

Sounds good to me,

yes. all the yorubas from south america,u.s,u.k,carribean will come together for democratic republic of yoruba

it sounds good though. . .we are all sons and daughters of oodua. i will prefer oodua rep. as a nation and yoruba as the ppl.

Not all yoruba worldwide can relate to odua but they proudly call themselves yorubas.

You all are even more dumb than your pipe-dream.sons and daughters of oduduwo? How are you all sons and daughters of someone who came after your tribe already existed?lol. Dummies.

better give it a name that the white folks can pronounce right.

Edo and Benin Republic will gladly be a part. Where is musiwa?

You see? We heard you the first time, we basically ignored you.

Find something better to do with your time like crying and begging for speaker position or what ever that's eating your grapes or will make your life complete.

hey say Aruba.
Now say Yoruba.

Sounds a little ignorant and colomental. Do you think they give a damn about you knowing how to pronounce their names? There are terrible sounding names all over the world and they are pronouncing them very well.

don't you want it to be part of the globalization taking shape? on the contrary, yes they do give a damn about how their names are pronounced if you say it wrong they will always correct you. well this goes for any educated person.

All hail the Oduduwan mou-mous.

I don't think it sounds good. It's like saying Democratic Republic of English.

I think Odua Peoples Republic sounds better. or Democratic Republic of Odualand.

Your preponderance for contributing idiocy to threads that are of no concern to you is certainly getting worse by the minute. Why don't you let the Yoruba people worry about what to call themselves. Afterall, no one quarrelled with you when you decided to go with a local moniker like Chyz*.

Do you think citizens of the following countries care whether you can pronounce their country's name?

Uzbekistan
Turkmenistan
Azerbaijan
Kyrgyzstan
Kazakhstan

What about you doing same? Are you scared of the white man or do you feel inferior and insecure about your name?

Sounds like you have serious complex issues,

Whats personal about this? if you are having a bad day throw it out elsewhere. the point is it better get a name that everybody can pronounce. you seem to have no sense of humor at all, asking me if I feel inferior to whites just cause I mentioned them.

I am blur, whats the third one?

I think Odua Peoples Republic sounds better. or Democratic Republic of Odualand.

 
An english man is from england and scottish from scotland. But yoruba is not english.
not all Yorubas relate to Odua. Allover the world they see themselves as yorubas.

I don't get your point. Are you creating for the Yoruba in Nigeria or for the Yoruba in Latin America and other parts of West Africa? So you are going to choose a name to accommodate those that are unlikely to move to Yorubaland at the expense of those that currently live in Yorubaland?

In any case, creating Yorubaland and just inviting Yorubas from all over the World is not a decision to be taken just because of the Sentimental value. It must be well thought out.

Your name is your name, your name is your identity, it's part of your make up and culture and you can not switch around your identity just to please other people?

Btw

Where is the humor?

@mbatuku2, don't mind those omos. They are living in a how do say,virtual reality,lol.

You dont have it. If really the State was to exist I would personally prefer something with Ile or orun in it. something like Ile-Ife.

Don't have what?

It makes no difference to me what you prefer, twisting your name and identity around to please other people just doesn't make sense, you are basically compromising your identity.

Is love king not edo.

I guess people dont realise he's making fun of them.

Thats what you know. The last input was not directed at you to have a difference in what I prefer.

Obviously, you are not making any sense.

We were never children of oodua,

According to most incantations and Yoruba poetry I have heard, oodua doesn't have any whereas Obatala does, Oduduwa is a political entity and I'll rather pay homage to Awolowo. His poetic existence was and still is a propaganda. Try raising the issue among Yoruba elders who are rather into the spiritual aspect of Yoruba people; they will explain everything clearly and tell you he is of no importance to Yoruba people generally but to a specific group people, All the story of coming down from with a rope blah blah is an Ogiso (Benin people's) myth that their leaders came from heaven etc, Oduduwa actually almost successfully divided Yoruba land into fragments of it's own. even up until recent 2 decades, the impact of his divisive policies were still recurring,

We are not children of Oduduwa instead we are children of Orunmila, So therefore, The Yoruba nation can't have Oduduwa as a word in her name,

I disagree with the two names. If i were to suggest, i think Peoples republic of Awolowo will make more sense since Awolowo contributed a lot to the development of Yorubaland.

@POST

I shall even volunteer as a mercenary to fight for the declaration of such republic if the people concerned will ever muster enough courage and intestinal fortitude to embark on such epic endeavor. 

However, I shall take my cues on the part of history with regard to this lofty and wind aided imagination.

I am only for Republic of Yoruba. Awolowo was a political damaged good via SL Akintola.
