You make me laugh. . . . .

The Ndigbos are the biggest cowards in the country since 1970.
I remember them running with their tails between their legs during the Abiola riots in 93 as they thought another Civil War was bound to start.
Many of them left their houses, shops and properties - many never returned as they died on the bad roads to their towns/villages.

That's a bit of history for you Mr. Dede1.

Why are you insulting Ndigbo in this beautiful thread?. It seems you are not happy with this historical thread or do you want the easterners to derail it.
Biko, respect.

Nice one.

Katsumoto:
Why are you so scared

You are with Onlytruth on this? A comment from someone (onlytruth) whose people settled communal disputes through wrestling contests when Oyo and Ibadan had some of the most advanced Infantry and Cavalry units in Africa[b]. The first set of rifles purchased by Igbo people were the 12 rifles Ojukwu boasted about just before the start of the civil war. [/b]

Your comments about sword swinging is ignorant at best. Yoruba had been using guns in warfare since the 17th century.

Quit trolling.

How on earth can you chat the above. Anyway, since you do not know, most Aro wars with the British and eastern Nigerian groups in 19th century were fought with modern weapons. Apart from the Aros, the Afaras, Ibekus, Ovims, Uzuakoli, Oboros and other Umuahia groups fought with modern weapons. All this weapons are there till date at War museum Umuahia. Go and see things there for your knowledge.

There is nothing wrong in landed property. Most of the world's billionaires do not have much cash but landed properties.

Should we have a Nairaland version of Kiriji wars where i would be kicking the Ekiti parapo armies butts.

Who would be the Ogedengbe, the Fabunmi, Sodeke, the Kurunmi, the Latosa, the Ogunmola etc

Ektbear might end up being the leader of the Ekiti army on NL or Ufeolorun, you want to challenge him?

Who is the Ijesha to represent Ogedengbe etc?

Say no to the above. The Hausa-Fulani will seize that opportunity to sack the entire Yorubaland. That has always been their wish.  There is no ethnic group in this Africa that hates the Yorubas more than the Hausa- Fulani.
The Yorubas should be united at all time to withstand Hausa-Fulani aggression.

Well said.

@OP

Look for a book titled the History of the Yorubas, you will find it compelling, Ife could not have sacked Modakeke as the Modakekes were on Ife Land, the Modakekes sacked the Ifes several times (remember the modakekes had fought the fulanis and were battle hardened).

This is the correct version.

@Musiwa, try another map because the one here included 3 non western states into Western Nigeria. Is this a land-grab exercise?.

@RGP92,
Some of the accounts I have read did not claim that Ife at any time sacked Modakeke. It is just the other way round.

There are so many books about this war. You may check out for books written by Prof Emeritus J. Ade-Ajayi, Oguntumisin and others at the famous Ibadan school of History.
Goodluck.

Negro_Ntns:
I am surprised you will call that nonsense written by Ekitikan a fact, I am even more shocked that you will call Ekitikan a Yoruba. What makes him a Yoruba, having Ekiti in his name? I guess if I register as Nwabuzor I automatically become Ibo, right?

Negro ntns how far naw?. I can remember you promised to quit tribalism at the end of 2011. Mind you, this is 2012.

Obiagu1:
Biafra (SS/SE), a constant nightmare that torments the SW.

I know that the day Biafra is created, so many Yorubas will commit suicide.

The modern day Yorubas do not commit suicide except the case of Ikenne 87.
Anyway, I feel happy being in the same country with the Yorubas.

Ibe is also common in my own part of Igboland e.g
Ibeawuchi.
Ibekwe
Enyeribe
Onyeribe
Ibegbulem
etc

Jose Mourinho is now history as far as the bridge is concerned. We have to look forward without Mourinho. No second chance for him. Mourinho will still insult and fight with Roman until he is shipped out.

Nice.

There is nothing political about this thread. To the waste bin please.
Igbo people all over the world has and is still doing a lot in promoting Igbo language and culture yet no one cares about those developments. Only for fools to come up all the time to downgrade our efforts.
Get a life poster.

The U.K has not yet divided. Scotland is not gone yet.
Dividing Nigeria will not solve our collective problem. I prefer a one unified Nigeria with improved understanding.

haka_nai:
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.

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.

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.

[size=14pt]CALL IT YORUBA INFLUENCE[/size]

The whole truth and nothing but the truth.
@Sbeezy8, nice one.

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?.
