You keep saying other groups but you fail to name these other groups.

It will not be long before a serious war breaks out in Yorubaland betweeen Christians and Mohammedans. Signs of war has always been there. The Chapel of Resurrection saga would have triggered a serious war but it was well averted.
The problem now is, how prepared are the christians?.

Until Yoruba Muslims allow more Yoruba Christians to be governors, then I'll believe there's One Yoruba and not Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba Christians.

Let me educate this ibo boy talking rubbish as if he never saw the four wall of a classroom.

If I have my way, posters with no basic knowledge of politics/political history will not be allowed to post in this section. Imagine someone uttering the kind of statement up there.

Thank you, DK and Bluetooth for schooling him though.

urhhhhh
Majority of People in Ilorin were not a yoruba group and never were. they were actually Bariba and Nupe muslim prior to Yorubas reaching Ilorin and then Fulanis. so Ilorin being Muslim because of "conquest" makes no sense, Igbomina aswell, Majority back then were NOT yoruba- but today they have assimilated into being yoruba with Language/culture Mainly Language.

Some Kwara people will tell you they are not yoruba- cause they technically aren't - Thats like calling Eguns in Lagos, yoruba- cause many dont speak Egun but only yoruba- they still arent yoruba.
I have Ilorin family that are NOT yoruba but technically Nupe/Bariba and call themselves yoruba because of assimilating.

Whether ilorin is Yorubaland or not varies from opinion to opinion.

I am from the north and i envy the Yoruba model.Its exceptional and commendable.Not only Africa but the entire world needs such a model.Don't be deterred and don't let any enemy or agent of violence or discord sneak into your midst.
You are on the path without doubt to peace and glory!!! The simple problem with the Igbo maybe that they want reliable allies via religion because its the only thing that can associate them with others.That apart they are ethnocentric.They know it!
I think alot of them are trying to create religious morons for them to ride on the divide. so that when they eventually decide to revenge the biafran and so many other loses they can do it with ease on there bitter rivals (Aka the north).I don't think they like the other tribes as much.They are just playing the religious card simple.Going by the fact they didn't see anything to rejoice over when there neighbor is peaceful and welcoming.Also they don't see the fact that in SW leadership they speak Yoruba and not Muslims vs christian grammar eg in the North and SE especially.We are a typical example in the North.That religious divide today has brought us to destruction!Don't take that path.Just ignore this bunch of moronic agitators.

tpia@:

Sbeezy i think you need to shut up with your everlasting cry of nobody is yoruba originally.

Maybe your own ancestry were whites who migrated to your hometown and settled there permanently but that doesnt mean you should type rubbish here all the time.

Werent you the one proving (together with your felllow rascal exotik) that there is no look that can be called nigerian?  That shows how mischievious you are.

exotik:


so what countries are yorubas in apart from african countries that were recently demarcated by europeans? the so-called yorubas in the diaspora were taken there as slaves and they are not entirely yorubas so to label them as yoruba is dishonest. anyways, slaves didnt have any reason to fight amongst themselves due to religious differences when they had a common enemy to unit and fight against . . . . the slavemaster. so i dont see how that is a point. and yes, african-americans are classified as an ethnic group. and apart from the us govt, they classify themselves as an ethnic group. unless na u wan define their identity for them.

exotik:


the problem is that u are limiting religion to only christianity and islam. well, that is not the case. a lot of groups in nigeria still worship their indigenous gods even though they have christians and muslims amongst them, and they all co-exist peacefully. and the fact that yorubas have a higher amount of muslims does not score points because it only takes a few amount of people to use religion to stir trouble. and btw, americans dont have one religion, they have all sorts of shyte they believe in. and they even modified christianity to suit themselves and they have the mormons. the current republican front runner mitt romney who would likely run against obama is a mormon. and as for the indians, i dont think they are all one ethnic group, but u can always correct me if i am wrong.

Yoruba must deal with the issue of increasing number of Muslims among them. The case of Afonja is still fresh in our collective but historical memories.

ola_pluto:

Funny how anyone on this thread will ever imagine Yoruba fighting over religion. Over time, the extremists have always been put in their place. Moreover, someone expressed concern over the 'swelling' number of muslims in SW. That person is ignorant to say the least. How many families in Yoruba land are indigenously christian? compare that to indigenous muslim families. In my village, I can point to less than 20% indigenous christian homes. They swell over time with conversion. Offcourse this figure will be different in places like Ondo and Ekiti states. However, Oyo, Osun, Lagos, and Ogun states used to be predominantly muslim.
Having said that, I think Yorubaland is a model for peaceful melting pot of religion. Perhaps it is education that makes us see beyond religion, or upbringing.  

T8ksy:

And what the hell has that got to do with you? If you are so concerned about this issue of increasing numbers of yoruba muslims, why don't you deal with the "problem" otherwise just STFU.

Of course, we know how fresh the case of Afonja is in your (ibos's) collective memories as Ojukwu tried the same trick sending banjo's to be the 21st century Afonja. Fortunately (and unfortunately for ojukwu and his BLF) we didn't fall for the same trick.

I just knew you wouldn't let the chance to have a go at Dede1 pass.

Andre Uweh:

It seems you were searching for an opportunity to bash Ndigbo before you saw this thread. This thread has nothing to do with Ndigbo so your mission is a failed one. You and your northern group pose more threat to the West than the east. Was it not your northern group who has fought bitter wars with OPC in Lagos?. Is it Ndigbo or the east?. How about slain corp members of Osun origin last May?. Who murdered them in cold blood?.  The common enemy the south west faces now and always has been you and your group. The middle belt knows it and has now detatched herself from the north. Whatever the case, the south west and the East will still stand shoulder to shoulder against this common enemy of progress-haka_nai and group of losers.
