IamPlato:
My Daughter Can Marry Any Tribe But Never In This life Will I Allow Her Marry A Muslim

LegendHer0:
God will bless you.

I have noticed something among the rest of the Nigerian tribes. Everyone of them always blame the Yorubas for their inefficiencies. Why they chose to do that still remain a mystery to me.

The Igbos want Biafra, their governors, house of representative personnels, senators, leaders, businessmen are all against it but they always choose to attack and blame the far away Yorubas for their misery.

The middlebelt was attacked by the Fulanis and they all suddenly started blaming the Yorubas for the action of the barbaric Fulanis.

The SOuth-South even with the 13% derivative still remain economically disadvantaged due to the corrupt nature of their leaders, but they will also backtrack and blame the Yorubas for their own inefficiencies.

I was actually taunting some of them by saying we are gonna use their oil until it dries up, I’m just trolling them coz I know they can easily be controlled by remote-controlling their emotion.

Lagos port has been in existence since 1913, we have the housing estates of Odua Groups, free education, free healthcare, cocoa plantations, first TV, first stadium, first skyscrapers, first region to increase minimum wage from 1.9shillings to 5shillings, first region with a coordinated tax systems, and a lot more progress. All this was before the stupid crude oil they all thought built the Yoruba lands.

The Yorubas should continue to remain discrete, we shouldn’t show them our next action, we should let them hate and predict what’s next for us. But I’m sure the spirit of our ancestors still live within us and no matter how much hate they nurture, they will never be able to conquer our spirit.

Ishilove:
I love this language. Doesn't sound remotely Yoruba

Ishilove:
Egwa is beans jn my language

RedboneSmith:
Now this is what I was suspecting.

It didn't seem plausible that the ancient Ondo people would create a word for something they didn't even know.

franchasng:
You are talking bullshyttt, nonsense useless Yoruba and Hausa abokkiii useless talk.


if you don't want Igbos in your midst, then allow Nigeria to divide, allow Igbos to secede as they have been demanding for decades and then you have the full right to order Igbos out of your territory and don't issue visa to any Igbo man seeking for your impoverished cocoa nation visa after division, but so long as you greedy, selfish Yorubas want Nigeria to remain and keep joining force with Hausa-Fulani to fight every region seeking for freedom from your failed Nigeria, then you have no freaking right to order any Igbo or Ijaw or Urhobo or whoever out of your state because it is Nigerian state, and if you dare nonsense, you will realize that 1966 is not 2020something...


Look at the ewedu smelling mouth talking like he is doing Igbos a favor...so long as you fools continue to say you want one Nigeria that has failed and keep fighting Igbos for trying to leave you and your cow loving Hausa-Fulani masters, then you have no godammn right to talk nonsense about Igbos living in your land, because every part of Nigeria belongs to Nigerians, and Lagos in particular is built by Nigeria's collective resources, so stop bragging about Lagos and brag with Osun, Ekiti, Ondon, etc

Go and ask your brothers that tried nonsense in Okota....go and ask the ones that tried it in Alaba some years back, go and ask those that tried it at Ladipo.....what nonsense!!


You use resources from South-south and southeast to politically develop your barren region and then turn around to talk nonsense!!!

Now they are using Nigeria's collective national resources to construct railway for you ewedu loving evil supporters, and you still have the useless gut to yan dust, why not allow Nigeria divide peacefully and use your cocoa resources to run your region and watch if anybody will dare step a foot in your barren region.

Yoruba land is what it is today, all because of crude oil from Niger Delta and Igbo people's business and entrepreneurial spirit, tell me how many properties or houses or industries or schools Yorubas own outside Lagos and some Yoruba state, but count how many Igbos own in your own land and in Hausa-Fulani land and also in Igbo land and you will know the people holding the progress of Nigeria today. Nonsense, evil loving, injustice embracing savage of a selfish tribe

VaughnSangrey:
Hausa you have to understand is an amalgamation of a set of ethnicities. Including Abagayawas and other people of sahelian stock, Part of the hausa identity was morphing into the hausa culture a great subset of which is the religion. They are simply maguzawas, not hausas.

myobjective:
But I am Yoruba from birth, would you know Yoruba more than I do?

Ondo and Ekiti state is the only Christian majority state in the southwest and even in these state particularly in Ondo state, Muslim is still a majority in the Akoko axis a geopolitical zone with like four local government, there sizeable Muslim in Ondo town and Owo. Muslim will be at least 25% to 30% of Ondo state. The last governor of the state was a Muslim by birth.

Oyo is the most populous state by the indigenous population in the south-west, they are a majority Muslim state 60%

Osun state are majority Muslim state 70%

Ogun 55%

Lagos is hard to call but among Yoruba there, about 45% should be Muslim.

Since around 75% of Kwara population is Yoruba, Muslim should 75% of the Yoruba populprodominatle

Kogi west is predominantly Christians

alfredo1:
Kano, Katsina, zamfara, jigawa and Sokoto are pure Hausa/Fulani states with a very few indigenous Christians.
Other northwestern states have other minority tribes that are predominantly Christians with fewer Muslims. There are also few Hausa Christians in these states.

Southern Kaduna is predominantly non-hausa who are mostly Christians with few Muslims. There are also Hausa Muslims in southern Kaduna. Kaduna state deputy governor is a Muslim from southern Kaduna.
There are also Hausa Christians in northern Kaduna.

The bottom line is the north is predominantly Hausa Muslims with a sizeable Hausa and non-hausa Christians.

Osaze007:
Having lived in Yoruba land myself

I don’t mean to cause any divide but Yorubas are still a majority Christain group
Lagos - has more Yoruba Christians than Yoruba muslims with a significant gap
Ogun - has more Christian with a significant gap most Muslims here are ijebu (Egba Awori yewa) are xtains
Ekiti - you sef know they are majorly Christains
Ondo- you sef know they are majorly Christains
Oyo - Oyo is very much split ile kewu and aladura are every where I can’t say who has more but whoever has more is more like 51% to 49% for argument sake let’s say Muslims
Osun - Osun has a majorly muslim population but with a minor lead over christains
Kwara - it’s the opposite mirror of ondo majorly Muslims
Kogi west - majorly Christains Infact 99% I have been to kabba myself

I know you guys don’t divide yourself based on religion but it’s my observation

Yorubas are still majorly Christians group with a significant Muslim population however all of you still visut babalawo for juju so nobody takes Yoruba Muslims or Christians serious and you still intermarry each other

Can anyone guess the name of this animal and is it edible for human consumption?

bigfrancis21:
Badagry people are actually part of Benin Republic and they are called ‘Egun’ or ‘Ogu’. Their language is totally different from Yoruba. The Nigerian-Benin border divides them into two. One half in Nigeria and the other still in Benin. Most of them on the Nigerian side are bilingual in Ogu and Yoruba. The other indigenous Lagosians are the Aworis and they are a Yoruba sub group.

gregyboy:
Oyo empire was trash ,it was not even an empire ,it was a kingdom....
How did they defeat dahomey and how did they rule over them ,no war was fought so how did they occupy thier areas

Oyo never extended beyond neighbouring yoruba nations those other part it extended are frictions claims

RedboneSmith:
Which empire was defeated by female warriors? The exhausting thing about you people on this forum is that you people will not read and yet you want to come here and argue things that are beyond your ken.

The Dahomey army never marched against Oyo
Write that down. It was the city-state of Abeokuta, and not the Oyo Empire that faced off with the Dahomey women warriors in the 19th century. By that time Oyo Empire had collapsed. And Abeokuta successfully beat back the Dahomey Amazons many times. Get off the internet for a while and go and read actual texts by professional historians who know their stuff.

Yujin:
I'm Igbo not Benin or Edo.
Till date, Benin kings still rule in some Yoruba communities especially in Ondo and Lagos State. Tributaries were in some cases, while in others, sons of the soil were made kings. In Idoani, the son of Oba Ozolua still reigns as king.

babyfaceafrica:
how can you have word for something that doesn't appear in yorubaland,please enlighten me?..

baby124:
You mean hail? Snow? Doubt it.
Yes. I think they mean hail.

RedboneSmith:
Hang on a second now. Ondo people have a word for snow? Are you sure this word doesn't refer to something else?

Basher8583:
YES it's a crime if you use it for treasonable felony..........
I don't know where you live but power's constant at my residence but ofcuz I have a prepaid metre to manage my consumption.

IDeyNL:
As a Yoruba Muslim, I support Sharia in SW.

Alhamdulilah.

Basher8583:
Good for you. Believe what you must.. no one cares. Sowore is still languishing in detention solely based on his youthful stubbornness.

BlackfireX:
Leave the woman alone you jobless, propaganda media..... The money she was accused of stealing ,is it your Father's money

BlackfireX:
Case study : ganduje.
He was recorded stuffing money inside his agbada,obviously a bribe.


What happened: he won reelection, the president campaigned for him, EFCC became a deaf and dumb watching an ordinary citizen usiing bullion van on the election day.
Sanusi was nearly disgraced for speaking against the govnor...

Now you want people or UK government to support you in grandstanding in our diezani matter.... No way you hypocrites.

Now I ask you, are you alright

pazienza:
Lol! The sins of Igboman is unpardonable. He is condemned for acting and for not acting. He can't catch a breath.

He decides to look after his brothers. People say he is too tribalist and hateful of others. Other groups do same, we are told that those groups are sophisticated and play better politics.

The Igbo decides to not embrace his own brothers, but to embrace outsiders whose interest aligned with his, like Jim against Ekwueme in PDP primaries of 1999. People will say Igbos are foolish and will remain backward in politics, because they cannot act as one. Others do same, they are praised for being detribalized and being pan Nigerian.

You see, it's a case the man, his wife and the horse. There is no winning the Nigerian prejudice for that Igbo man. The enlightened ones among us know this, hence our violently Igboist stand. We are never going to please our prejudiced detractors, why waste effort on such stupid venture when we can invest in fortifying the Igbo nation against their prejudice by establishing a very visible line between us and them and then defending those lines vigorously.

Someone said Igbo not speaking Igbo language outside Igboland is a mark of inferiority complex.
You see the issue we are dealing with.
If as Igbo you start speaking Igbo outside Igboland with another Igbo and in midst of other non Igbos, the Non Igbos become apprehensive and feel threatened,you will be accused of being tribal with sinister plans. I have been a victim of this many times. Their mood change whenever I see an Igbo and start speaking with him in Igbo. But when other non natives do same, no one feel threatened.
Nigerians have carefully created a scenario where the Igbo must be guilty no matter what he does. Guilty of not being united if tries to play non tribal politics, and guilty of being tribalists should he play tribal politics. Guilty of being a supremacist and not integrating with host communities,and having sinister plans should he insist on communicating in Igbo language outside Igbo land.
Guilty of having inferiority complex and not liking Igbo language if he decides to converse in English or his host language instead of Igbo.

It's a lose-lose situation for an Igbo man as long as Nigeria is concerned,the blame game has been rigged to always make sure he has something to apologize for. This is why I remain strongly anti Nigeria and pro Igbo(Biafra).

pankere:
OP you are very wrong. I don't know why you people like to distort history based on your personal sentiments. Let me correct you. In the whole of Yoruba kingdom and history, Owo and ifon were the only Yoruba/ondo towns that was dominated by bini, they paid tribute for years and had emissaries from bini kingdom ruling them and they even assimilated their culture, evidence can be seen from owo festivals and cultures till today. Let me give a few with pictures. The first is igogo festival in owo town. Look at how men are dressed like bini king and cheifs, the second pic is normal owo traditional dancers that you will see in any party or festival in owo till today. You can obviously see the resemblance to bini ways.

Nowenuse:
Almost everyone in Kwara speaks and understands Yoruba, even the minorities, but this doesn't make them ethnically Yorubas. Most Moro indigenes speak Yoruba, but it is not their ethnic group. This is similar with Ilorin where many indigenes there are of Hausa, Bariba, Fulani and Nupe origins but they speak Yoruba.

There are Nupe communities in Ifelodun too.

chennaija:
I'm telling you that what is happening in Ondo is like what is happening in Edo and Kwara. I 'll touch on Kwara, like Ondo like you said, Kwara is also run by Hausa-Fulani but doesn't mean that they own the state. Yoruba own Kwara but they don't run it. Likewise Ijaw own Ondo but don't run it. Likewise too Edo with Igbo blood are the true owners of Edo but Edo with yoruba blood run it.

starbuck:
Afonjas and titles are like ọka na ubé

DesChyko:
Man, what troubles me more is that it is gradually being streamlined to be an Igbo thing, and it ends up causing issues for all Nigerians.
It is just unfortunate that the US do not recognize that majority of them are from a specific tribe. It would have been good to limit the restrictions to them, so that this nonsense can be tackled as an indigenous problem back home.
This is just too pathetic.
