This is ordinary common sense that doesn't need research

Due to geographical proximity , Dahomey (Benin Republic, Togo), Hausa (NorthWest , North Central), Nupe , BIni, Edo , Istekiri (Midwest) and Middle belt (Gwari, Baji) close to Kogi are our cousins in Yorubaland


In reality due to river Niger and huge gap, Yoruba and Ibos share absolutely nothing together


.

You're a huge disappointment. Yoruba shares no similarities with Hausa/Fulani in anything you can think of.

Beautiful nonsense

WesternOligarch:
Lol....this confused social political climber.

The article is full of sophistry, falsehoods and fallacies sprinkled with half truths, sentiments and biases targeted majorly at diluting the indigineous people of Yorubaland while tactically not talking about the ethnic syncretic of the north. Yoruba's and northerners have absolutely nothing in common. From our ideologies and attitudes to life there's a big difference between both people.

We Yoruba's aren't known for religious extremism or terrorism.

Yorubas are largely progressive and socialist liberals. Hausa/fulani are largely retrogressive and conservative extremists.

Yorubas believe in orderliness and don't subscribe to grazing cattle openly destroying people's property.

Yoruba's live in cities and villages like normal human beings. Fulani lives in the forest reserves like wild animals with their cattle.

Yoruba's don't subscribe to oppressing our women or girl children, women in Yorubaland are given equal freedom and opportunities as men(too much freedom in some cases) and we also don't subscribe to child marriages.

Yorubas rich and poor believes alot in education and it's ability to advance societies. Hausa/fulani believe that western education is Haram.

We Yoruba's don't pardon yahoo boy's, terrorists, militants or bandits. Hausa/fulani believes that terrorists are humans like us and should be pardoned and reintegrated back into society.

We believe in freedom of expression; it's why bobrisky is still walking freely in Lagos. Northerners believe in breaking beer bottles and banning mannequins because it is Haram.

We produce Noble laureates, tech Titans, globally recognized scientists, athletes, execs and self made business people. The north produces military men, presidents with school cert results and a large voting population.

There might have been intermarriages and inter relations with neighboring Northern tribes but hausa/fulani are never one or the same people.

Lastly what really makes a person Yoruba apart from his paternal genes is his embodiment of qualities known to Yoruba's and the tribal loyalty you have towards Yoruba, it's people and it's interests, if you find yourself scheming against or working against Yoruba interest it's most likely that you're not Yoruba but either an imposter or a bastard. Yoruba isn't just an ethnic group but a religion, a state of mind and an ideology

Farooq A. Kperogi like most non Yoruba's are quick to talk about Yoruba history trying to delegitimize the rights of indigineous Yoruba people and pushing silly narratives and agendas but would hardly talk like this about their regions or tribes..... ibadan men like me will see straight right through your bvllshit Mr Kperogi.

No bad blood with Northern people but it's an insult to say yorubas and fulanis are alike. It gets me really triggered.

God bless you immensely for this wisdom.

SlyDev:


Absolute nothing, what pain me is dat Yoruba will leave these cousins to force friendship with ibo they share nothing with.

Who is your cousin? Your head is paining you.

TripleOh7:


So you don't know the difference between Hausa and Fulani?

Are you not a Nigerian?

Anyway, it's the Hausas that are indigenous to Nigeria and not the Fulanis.

The Fulanis are like dark skin Arabs who migrate around.

They colonized the Hausas in the North of Nigeria and took over their traditional systems.

What they did to the Hausas is what they are trying to do to the rest of Nigeria.

That's why the president is looking for a non existent cattle grazing routes all over the country.

Thanks for the sincere answer bro.

Tomek09:

Thanks for the sincere answer bro.

You're welcome.

By force by �, the parasitic north have started using style to beg Yoruba to accept them as one. The facts that similar tones and words are used in calling a particular items doesn't mean that you are one. People have always moved up and down the globe trading and intermarriage has always occur...language is the most transmitted culture in the world and that still don't reflect that an immigrant is no longer an immigrant. You can be a landlord in a foreign land and prosper very well but your root will always be there as your origin.

Please Northern parasites should stop this systematic maneuvering so as to be accepted in Yoruba land....the last time Afonja thought he was being smart by harbouring these northern bandits in Ilorin, we all can see the repercussions till today. Hausa Fulanis are Devil and necessary evil....if you must eat with them, please take a very long spoon because they poisonous and more deadly than scorpion....they come as a timid son of a dog but turn to stab you at the back when you least expect. That's the summation of Hausa Fulani people.....Dangerous and very dirty people....

The hausa/fulanis and the yorubas actually have a lot in common but I don't think it's enough for them to unite politically the two ethnic groups don't have the same destiny. The austrians, germans and the switzs have a lot in common but are in separate countries.

SlyDev:
Hausa sees Yoruba as brother and friend. Hausa prefer to work with Yoruba than the third one. Relationship with Hausa is more useful to Yoruba than Ibos.

But na una de she'd each other blood for Shasha,Fagba,Mile 2,Ife,Lasu area etc while Igbos do not have any history of bloodshed with the yorubas.

No they are not from common ancestor. Igbo likely migrated from Kongo or Cameroon. Their attire (leaves and grasses) oftentimes not distinguishable from tribes in Central Africa.

The reason we share some language together is that igbo are gatherer, they quickly gather other tribe culture and language and adapt to it fast

Yoruba language is a contagious language, very popular in all of Southern Nigeria, the igala and itsekiri introduced Yoruba language to Ibos. Igala through enugu and Anambra then spread to other Ibo clans, the Itsekiri also.

We share nothing in common except civilising you ancestors

How did ur ancestors civilized igbo ancestors? You people sef with unnecessary pride and chest beating very dumb reasoning.

But They Both Share And Practice Islam As A Religioun Even Though The Yorubas Dilute Their Islam With Some Cultural Practice And Are Highly Infidelity

Igbo language is too superior to borrow anything from Yoruba language. I don't see how someone that can't pronounce HOUSE properly believe he has a superior language. Igbos are the only people that pronounce any word from all local languages in Nigeria.
Words have been borrowed as a result of living together for decades. Wahala is Hausa used by everyone, that doesn't make Hausa a superior language.

That western oligarch might even be a descendant of Fulanis who settled hundreds of years ago in Yoruba land. If many of you do an ancestry.com check, you will find that you have cousins sharing the same lineage in tribes you hate. Silly thing to be tribalistic and yet compalin against racism.

This is ordinary common sense that doesn't need research

Due to geographical proximity , Dahomey (Benin Republic, Togo), Hausa (NorthWest , North Central), Nupe , BIni, Edo , Istekiri (Midwest) and Middle belt (Gwari, Baji) close to Kogi are our cousins in Yorubaland


In reality due to river Niger and huge gap, Yoruba and Ibos share absolutely nothing together


.

Hausas do not share proximity with Yorubaland. Do you know how far the Sahel is from Yorubaland. Prior to this crazy merger, no Yoruba man ever saw the gates of Kano. We are well aware of the gates of Dahomey, Nupe, Bini, Itsekiri, etc. We don't know those desert camel people

onumadu:


I agree, too.

The Yoruba share far more with Hausa/Fulani than with Igbo, and this fact is clearly visible to any careful observer.

That fact has consistently reflected in the politics of Nigeria such that one cannot reasonably see any future Yoruba country without the Hausa/Fulani in it.

This is reality.

Absolute crap, we do not share linguistic family, we do not share genetics (R1B for Hausa), we do not share climate, we share all those things with the Igbo

Racoon:


https://www.farooqkperogi.com/2021/10/arewa-and-oduduwa-more-alike-than-unlike.html?m=1

Wonderful !

onumadu:


Okay, just consider these historical facts.
How can you uproot those Fulani who have been there for centuries?
I mean, lets be real.

The first part is about Borgu, That has nothing to do with Hausa. We Yorubas know Borgu, they are in upper Kwara and Niger state and Alaafin historically has an alliance with the Borgu king. Twice, Borgu and Alaafin joined to fight of the jihading Fulani. It was the second time that the Borgu king died in the battle. So no, any mention of Borgu does not make us closer to the Hausa, if anything it reminds Yoruba of a time in history when the Borgu were equally angry at Fulani incursions and jointly moved to simply wreck them.

The second part is just trade. There is an ancient city of Kaiama where a lot of trade was conducted for many ethnic groups in the region, even the Dagomba. Nothing special there. The Yoruba trade routes went up to Raba in modern day Niger state, nothing dipping into Yorubaland

Tomek09:
Very nice, educating and interesting write-up.

Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis have/share many things in common.

No wonder Tinubu confirmed the assertion when he visited Kano which is an Hausa-Fulani dominated State.

YORULANI IS REAL.

It's just propaganda. Read what WesternOligarch wrote again for clarity

SlayerForever:
I always tell anybody who cares to listen that Hausa and Yoruba people are the same! I have looked at them and seen their close similarities in behaviour and thinking. They are the same! After staying in the North and I came to the West and heard Lafia in Yoruba greeting I just knew the two people are the same thing from that moment onwards. Kperoogi here proves me right.

Don't be daft.

SlyDev:


Absolute nothing, what pain me is dat Yoruba will leave these cousins to force friendship with ibo they share nothing with.

Lol.. you need to clear your head over there. Who is your cousin?? Hausa are Afro asiatic, R1B genetic group, Camel riding desert people, and their music sounds Somali. I think you are confused

SlyDev:

You can't just pull research out of your ass. It is more likely that Yorubas and Igbos formed from the same group due to our language and genetic similarities, likely split along the confluence of the Niger and the Benue or elsewhere closeby and Bantuesque elements in Igbo language (leading N, chi) probably came from association with other bantuesque language groups down the line.

Igboid:


This is falsehood.
Ndiigbo are not separated from Yorubas by River Niger as Ndiigbo exist in both sides of the River Niger.
Ndiigbo are separated from Yorubas by the Edo.
That's the boundary between Ndiigbo and Yorubas.

Exactly, there are less ethnic groups between the Yoruba and Igbo then between Yoruba and the camel racers of the desert

Tomek09:
YORUBAS AND FULANIS ARE ANCESTRALLY BROTHERS.

No.
