This article makes sense. If you take the West African map and trace the Niger River, a few truths stare at you.

Queseda:

Why are you trying to dispute what a professor with more knowledge than you trying to say. Nobody is forcing anything on anyone but the facts in that write up speak for itself that among the 3 major tribes, we share a lot in common compared to the 3rd.

SlyDev:


Your husband fulani is the one holding your leash, he turn you around as he pleases. You will jump on fulani lap for a crumb of akpu

Dumburudeen omodopemu, this your stupidity is why yorubas are the only tribe in the south conquered by fulani with their emirates all over yorubaland as their symbol of conquest..

SlyDev:


You are going no where iboman, until Tinubu finish 8 years

JOemmy:
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.

DD29:
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

NubaVertigo:


The fukk is that supposed to mean?

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.

Tomek09:
YORUBAS AND FULANIS ARE ANCESTRALLY BROTHERS.

SlyDev:


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

HedwigesMaduro:


When your ancestors were still wearing palm fronds tapping palm wine mine were watching the first television station in Africa. So, who's the monkey now you flat headed braindead Igbo puke?

goatandyam:
Nonsense story written by another closet Muslim terrorist masquerading as liberal.

Won't be surprised if this cow is the formal nairaland epistle terrorist called Gbawe

putin2:
Already Fulanis is part of Yoruba nation. All the Yoruba state has Fulani indigene but many don't know.
For those who don't know Yoruba Muslims control Yoruba land and the power is from the Yoruba fulanis.
Go and check.



you are all fools awon were both putin and co

SlyDev:


It was igala that introduced Yoruba to you. Apart from dat the south east Yoruba also spread Yoruba to Anambra to other igbo clans

wallrichy:
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....

NetValueFX:

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.

NubaVertigo:


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

NubaVertigo:


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

NubaVertigo:


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