The Yorugbas should be happy the Fulanis did not take Oyo state. So Yorugbas should just forget Kwara state. Yorugbas lost it even when they had Oyo empire, now that they are cowards, it will be worse. Let them not dare the Fullas.
@the bolded! But its the yorugbas that majorly dominate that state or am i missing something?

No, the yorugbas dominate southern kwara e.g offa. central kwara is multi ethnic e.g ilorin while northern kwara has less than 1% yorugbas e.g pategi.

I think development is not about how much people you are able to get into your own side.
But much about the ability to harness your scarce resources to the betterment of your citizen.
Re: We Are Taking Illorin And Offa With Us, North Dares Yoruba by Olaolufred(m): 9:06am On Mar 06, 2012
Ilorin has become a mixed state. Referendum will determine their fate If Nigeria disintegrate.
But their is nothing Northern in Offa.

In your dreams, Offa, Ilorin and in short Kwara is lost to the north. The real middle belt includes Benue, Kogi,Plateau maybe Taraba and the Gwaris in southern Kaduna, FCT then MAYBE again Nassarawa.

I am from Offa, born and bred there, an active 'youth voice' in the community, having written a number of articles on the politics of the town.

We are Yoruba, no controversy about that; we are northerners too, at least since 1914.

I'm particularly indifferent about where we end up, in the event of split. North or South, I'm ok.

I suspect that your mum is Hausa.

No full blooded Yoruba with their congnitive faculties in order would make such utterance. Don't care if you end up in the North? Only an aboki would make such a statement given the inhumane attrocities currently being perpetrated by the abokis.

Sheesh!

Lesson, There is nothing monolithic about the Yoruba people. Each group has its own language, history, land claims etc. After this dream splitting of the country, the Yorubas may end up splitting into 50 more pieces for there to be peace.

You people are already e-attacking Jarus for not being a detribalized Yoruba man.

I see Aigbofa flexing e-muscles and sharpening his e-RPGs already. olodo cheesy

I'm not attacking Jarus.

But I think it's wise if he keeps his propaganda to himself. I think the man might be a bit confused sha. The Ofa ppl are just like the Olukumis in the SE; they speak Yoruba but do not identify themselves as Yoruba.

I know we have Ekiti ppl separated; some in Kwara, some in Ekiti. However, you dont hear us claiming North.

LOL @ divided into 50 pieces. Were grin
Re: We Are Taking Illorin And Offa With Us, North Dares Yoruba by Nobody: 10:20pm On Aug 12, 2012
I am a Yoruba man, my father was a core Awoist.
But the last time I checked, Kwara(plus us Yoruba there) is North Central, not SouthWest. If FG were to appoint a 6-man board of a federal parastatal now, one person from each Geo-political zone and I get nomination, will I be counted as SW rep? No. So why would I claim to be a southerner when officially I am a northerner?

Sunday Awoniyi, Chairman of Arewa Consultative Forum, was a Yorubaman and one of Sardauna's most endured loyalists.

No big deal, we have no problems being in the North and that doesn't reduce our Yorubaness

LMAO! It is not up to fools to lecture Yorubas on unity. If you want to take Offa or Ilorin, you should be prepared to fight for it.

Calm down, no one is taking Offa anywhere, we shall all live or die in this our Nigeria.

so semantics lo cause wahala lati aro? North is a geographical expression afterall smiley

Don't be silly! The loss of Yorubas to Benin was as a result of colonisation and and the greed between the British and French. That we were ripped off by those evil colonial master does not mean we would let the barbaric, senseless and inhuman hausas get away with it.

Yorubas in Benin Republic were taken away by people who had superior weapons. If you have superior weapons you too can take Offa and Ilorin, but they will not be given to you on a platter.

We Offa can still be gotten back, at least we don't deny our Yorubaness and we never claim to be any other tribe than Yoruba.

But Ilorin, forget! You(ok, we) have lost Ilorin. An average Ilorin person sees himself as Fulani, even if he doesn't speak any other language than Yoruba and his name is Bukola. Trying to reclaim Ilorin? I'm afraid another bloodied nose reminiscent of the Afonja/Alimi/Solagberu of old will be recorded. OPC tried it and had themselves to blame. Let sleeping dog lie. 80% of Ilorin people see themselves as Fulani.
Re: We Are Taking Illorin And Offa With Us, North Dares Yoruba by Ufeolorun(m): 10:32pm On Aug 12, 2012
Religion has a strong role to play on his perception-some Yoruba-Muslim fervently crave northern endorsement because they feel this is one of the ways to be a real Muslim.This is what some Yoruba Islamic leaders have fought against in the past-ensuring Yoruba Muslim don't kowtow or see themselves as second rated to Northern Muslims.
The northern establishment have been using religion as a political tool for so long and have always tried hoodwinking Yoruba Muslims to swell it numbers hence political strength
Like Ileke said the Igbominas would disaGREE with his take but people have the right to choose which direction they feel comfortable with.
