You mean there was place like Hanjul, Mongolia, China etcetera?

ademijuwonlo:
Really?

forgiveness:
A larger proportion of Yorubas are either Muslims or Christians.

ademijuwonlo:
The Ijebus have an eulogise that says ; Ijebu takes care of concubines tenderly like they have never seen women before, but they have twenty-thirty wives at home. who would give out his/her daughter out in marriage to people like that?

aribisala0:
...The Yoruba idea is ALL ethnicities ,ALL humanities came from Ile-Ife. That is where the first man arose. It is not exclusive to Yoruba even the Chinese and Arabs all came from Ile-Ife.
In other word Ile-Ife is the Yoruba version of the Garden of Eden.

phineas:
Yoruba share lots and lots of similarities with ancient Egypt including words and cultures.The one I find most amusing is naming the mother after her first child's name Mama x. Ancient eygyptian

phineas:
For those who say the great Yoruba migration came from within Nigeria (Benin or igbo Land) as opposed to North Africa, please note travelling far distances within Nigeria (Abeokuta-benin) on foot was not unusual even in recent era that is the early 1900.There were no cars or few cars then.

Ask your grandparents and great grand parents and some will tell you how far they walked carrying stones
To build those granite houses and churches you see.

My point is no Nigerian of that era will count a journey from Benin to ife or Igbo land to ife as a great migration. The Yoruba migrated from the Middle East. Oral traditions corroborated by independent 3rd parties corroborate those oral traditions. These recent rewriting of history on the origins of the yoruba have no corroboration from early sources in any place in the country. Not in the Obama of Benin palace or any Ibo monarchs palace until recently. These are the figment of fictitious minds.

It is said that a bastardized describes his father's house with the left hand. To destroy a nation you attack their identity by attacking their history and their culture.I implore all to address these matters cautiously as we are custodians of a great heritage.Let us not destroy it.

Productive for WHOM

If it was not productive then why is it productive now?
There is a reason , a very good one why we have different tribal marks

There is a reason why many Yoruba circumcise their women and Ijebu do not.
When we "UNITE" would we speak Ekiti or Igbomina

The Yoruba say
Ki a ko ko le akata lo ki a to fi abo fun adiye


The only reason why there is "Yoruba" is Nigeria

Even at that some jokers always try to impose their will on other

Let me give you ONE example

Lagos State

Jakande
Fashola
Ambode and now
Sanwo Olu


None of them are Lagos indigene

Now Lagos cannot even produce Senators from within .

So which yeye unity are we talking about?
An Araoke Unity?

Before we accept any such mission let it be defined.
Let Lagos state revert to its indigenes then we can talk of unity.

Let them declare Yorubaland as an enclave for Yoruba traditional religion then we can talk of unity

There are dozens of Arab speaking countries and there is a very good reason why they are SEPARATE.

All of a sudden we are talking of Yorubaland which is a euphemism for resurrecting a dead Oyo empire.
There is nothing like Aare Ona Kakanfo of Lagos

It is in Oyo and does not even reach Ibadan who are superior to Oyo militarily

Guy you need a lot of education about history

The Oyo have greater affinity for the Nupe Tapa and Hausa and are very different from Ekiti and Ondo or Owo even though they share much in common

forgiveness:
Where did you get this from?

aribisala0:
..He met some people on ground in Ife and at the same time there were already people on ground in Ijesha Ekiti Egba etc doing their thing.They are not in anyway related .
Ifa traditional religion had been on ground for centuries before Oduduwa arrived
Yes their are Ifa myths of creation and a person falling from the sky but that person was not Oduduwa thought the story has been corrupted to include him

LazyGold:
They are just lying and trying to falsify everything as usual, even the Oba never said Oduduwa migrated from Benin

Their claim that Oranmiyan was the son of Oduduwa was even wrong, Oranmiyan was the Grandson of Oduduwa

LazyGold:
You are wrong, the Oba didn't say Oduduwa came from Benin but mecca

Amadaz:
are you...

forgiveness:
Can you please explain? Thanks

PrecisionFx:
Wail online.

IGBOS Are waiting for u offline in Lagos.

Konki:
Crap!

IN this age and time?

What law supports iyaloja and babaloja?



Culture of imposition/impunity taken too far.!


Pay per post spotted! Lol.

gypsey:
exactly! And it is most likely he commited the crime.


Even God should be Against criminality, what kinda God would support Stealing from people?

Gudiza:
anyway, maybe if we can separate 'true' africans from brainwashed religious dogs. only then can we get that sense of definition.

HeyCorleone:
So tribalism is discrimination. Wha about racism?

And do you dare deny the existence of tribes in Africa? Do you even have any idea what tribe means?

And it's so unfortunate that my point literally went over your head. Everyday in Nigeria here, we suffer one form of discrimination or the other. Even within the continent. Look at the South African case. In Angola last week, a Nigerian was stoned to death for being more successful than other Angolans.

So why should I be worried about how I'd be perceived by whites when even those with the same skin colour like mine would readily hang me for speaking a different language or sharing a different religion?

Nigerians today stand petrified at what confronts them on a daily basis, talkless of the dark , bleak tomorrow.

What confronts you is a house that has fallen, fallen because the contractor attempted to build on a fraudulent foundation.

Rather than make the necessary corrections early enough and at important junctures, he his head in sand( much like what people like you are doing ) , continues to use much cheaper construction materials to patch the obviously cracked and leaky foundations. The house is nowhere near completion. He is too dishonest to start afresh, and continues to delude himself that " by the grace of God " his house will stand, even against the laws of gravity.

This house will fall .
No "hail marys" about that.

Your president is presently out the country for 10 days now . The Nigerian public does not know exactly where he is, what he is doing and when he will be back.
He supposedly travelled out on a private visit, but with taxpayer planes, taxpayer entourage, and presently accumulating taxpayer expense liabilities.
He subverted the constitution, first by not formally writing the national assembly , and secondly by not handing over control of the government to his vice president.
