Very good one

Omoawoke:
Ooni of ife is doing his best to unite Yorubas all over the world.

We have our people in Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago and many other South America and North America countries

They have long be gone but still kept their ancestry and trace their origins to Yoruba lands
Their ancestors taught them where they come from and they are proud Yorubas , they won’t forget home

No Yoruba Child Would Forget Home ... The Ties is too Strong Especially if You are Royal ... You Can't do Anywhere without Your Root... You would be Lost and Perish ... !

BentizilL:

Because Igbo are the main proponent of Lagos is no man's land and always want it taken out of the western zone.. From jaja wachuku, Azikiwe till today , their obsession with Lagos keep on increasing...

Is ikoyi, lekki and Victoria island not part of Lagos? So wtf are you saying..

What's the population of Igbo in Lagos compare to the yorubas in Lagos?

The Bleep am talking about is that,outside ikoyi,lekki and Victoria island,Lagos is NOTHING,so that be to proud.

OriOko88:

Its a lie. Others are not doing bad Atal. Eg Ogun and Oyo,their GDP alone dwarfs those f the entire east. Why do u think we have more ibos in south west than any other place.

How does the GDP affect the people of Ogun and Oyo?
The only thing Lagos has its population.
Remove the population of Lagos,Lagos is no different from jigawa state

No one does it better than this man in his categories
No other kings even get welcoming of fellow 1st class kings out side Nigeria talk less of presidents

But he has done it consistently

Invictuse:
Being a Yoruba is the greatest gift I can ever wish for as a Nigerian. No wonder haters want to die n perish in Yoruba land claiming it's no man's land.

Lagos is a no man's land. How many land ur papa get for Lagos?

OLULAW:



No, you got it wrong. The Ndigbos, as the lost tribe of Israel, are relocating to Jerusalem.

Wow.
When?

Oba of lagos did not see this one , as e dey pain dem, e dey sweet us, let him be rubbing shoulders with fake politicians in Nigeria

If Yoruba were to be a country,would have the best passport in Africa. We would have the best human resources of any African country.

Nigeria contraption has really dragged us 100 years behind. Sad

Very true though… the harnessing of the South West properties for Nigeria by Aguyi Ironsi stunted our astronomical growth. Imagine first television station in Africa, even before France, they gave it to NTA and the rest is history.

The Eastner gave Nigeria anything but war…yet they claimed they developed Lagos. While out fore fathers were busy developing Lagos and the entire southwest, their fathers were busy fighting the civil war promoting ethnic strife…. Today this discord of strife and ethnic struggle is deep seated in the heart of all Igbos.

AntiChristian:
Why are there many Yorubas in Brazil?

. If you take a boat from Bar Beach in Lagos straight you land in Brazil and it's environ. That journey has been on before 1770 AD

cocolacec:
Our Brazilian brothers and sisters can replace nyanmirins when they relocate to the East in Yorubaland.
Yorubaland must be great.

Do you even know what nyanmiri means? Well, the Igbos were killed in numbers and a particular incident happened when an about to die Igbo man requested for water from the Nigerian army by saying "nyem mmiri" meaning "give me water." The Nigerian army killed that man without giving him water. This is what you are making fun of decorated with bigotry. One thing, we will all leave this world with nothing. May God forgive our souls

Proudly yoruba

Moniya4Real:

Tribal bigot

it is called self preservation,infact the Brazilians will have a right of return to Yorubaland to invest,buy and inter-marry their kith and kin.No more ungrateful nyanmrins in Yorubaland.Nyanmrins can relocate to England,the founder of Nigger area.

Like for the Ooni, share for Yoruba land

Really?!!! Don't be shy, Please wave the banner high! "Oodu'a a gbe wa ooo!"

most Brazilians are genetically falling to the igbos and calabar side of Nigeria.


But the twist was/is, SW especially Lagos, was the place that hundred of thousands of Brazilian blacks settled in the SW. Another twist is that the chances of a good percentage of igbos among those returnees is high.


igbos alone were almost 5 million slaves taken. We were the forefront of fighting against islamic expansion. The whole Angola was almost 2 million slaves taken. The yorubas were traditional like the igbos, calabar, and even Benin. But when islam was pressing up on the yorubas, and oyibo people had already started their conquest; one of the deals that oyibos did with arabs during their african conquest years was that they will not enslave the muslims to Europe or wherever they were.vBut the arabs were still enslaving Africans. So, the yorubas began doing tribal marks to make the slave traders differentiate between them and other tribes that were not converting, because they (yorubas) were still newly converting to islam, but were being traded if caught in the wrong places. So, they decided to find a way to differentiate from others.


One of the cases of two street gangs wey be like cult, underground but very valid, many people know about them in Brazil, Ade gang vs mgba mgba gang. Bloody drug and territorial war. They run cool down now like 3 or so years ago, now peace organizations are building skating boards, basket ball courts, etc for their neighborhoods. Before that, serious something. Steady back to back hits.


The Brazilians are now knowing that they are from many parts of Africa and many tribes, so this oni visit, is not deeply emotional like it would have been just 10 years ago. Before that, they only knew about yoruba tribe. Am not saying yorubas were not enslaved to Brazil, but not that much. DNA is proving it as I speak, in Nigerian side alone igbos dey beat yoruba 4 to 1 or more, remember there is still Congo as a whole, with over 8 million slaves taken. Am going with realistic numbers, many books point this out. - The Europeans like to lower their numbers, to minimize their past damages.


Igbos should be reaching out to Brazilians more, and other countries. Our people taken as slaves are everywhere, and our people like to explore for other means of progress, so even in africa, igbos are genetically spread. Many igbos have been sucked in to other tribes, especially outside Nigeria. We need to be more creative with our tribal retainment. In Nigeria, out of fear, many igbos hide their identity. In foreign places, there is the case of lack of cooperation.
Remember, igbos were the first African tribe, to say they are going back to africa, when the slaves in north Carolina noticed they were igbos, they spoke the same language, then decided to go back by any means; when they found out that there was no way, they decided to die than continue to be slaves, so they walked into the water coast and many drowned, over 100 . - this was in the 1600. So, the whites did not put two igbos in the same farm field or sleeping quarters. But the twist to this, is that a few yoruba slaves, I think New Jersey, were the 1st slaves in the 1800, to organize in their slave town, to rebel against their masters. It lead to a mini war for a couple of days. They were not the only tribe that participated, but there were the leading people that did this. It was after this that returnees was passed to go back to africa, which ended up being liberia.


The igbos in north Carolina, and Virginia, also revolted many times and ended up joining with other igbos to form the country of Haiti. Igbos are also the leading dna on the Nigerian side, in jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, Dominican republic, mexico,, brazil, etc.

The yorubas hosted many returnees, who in turn, assist other returnees, and also the British at this time, preferred to relate with the returnees more than the locals, remember those were the equivalent of house slave - not field slaves who were mostly the locals, due to language and culture understanding. The yorubas hosted many returnees, not really by choice, but because the British ran things then. During this returnees period, igbos have always fought the colonizers, which made igbos susceptible to slavery. Any igbo caught were enslaved or killed, because they were fighting. The British was the only people that the igbos ended up surrendering to in the early 1900s. That's how christianity started getting in more and more, then the biafran war- really expanded christianity amongst the igbos. THe red cross and all these churches that were feeding people. The igbos didn't utilize war mines then.


Anyway, I think the igbos gave up after so much losses due to technology, but also the breakdown of Africa. Before the oyibos, igbos were giving the arabs and their african foot soldiers, a new look in africa. Impenetrable. No converting. Even when the Europeans came, igbos were not locally colonized until 1902.


Many yorubas, especially the Christian ones, were mostly the Brazilians, Returnee afrobeat europe, and other west Africans. Many igbos also need to realize that some yorubas are us, that flipped to yoruba due to environment. I mean every tribe has small flips, but am talking a little over small.


*disclaimer: these are my opinions, the way I understand them are from various books and research materials I had sought to understand; in the midst of my personal and professional life. Igbos should do some awareness and future direction reflections.

Actually, the main purpose of Aguiyi Ironsi's coup and dissolution of regionalism via his draconian decree 34 was to stop Yoruba's Western region progress and advancement that was nonexistent in his own region. Yoruba land must be great again. 👍
