Lol...it's funny how people who know close to nothing about Ilorin history claim to be an authority on Ilorin. Some people, having read some discredited works claim to know Ilorin even much more than the Emir. so funny.


First and foremost, The Sarakis claim to originate from Agbaji Quarters, specifically at "Ile Agoro". Further checks on Agbaji itself and Agoro shows that the progenitor of the Agoro compound is NEITHER Fulani Nor Yoruba. In fact, He's a SHUWA ARAB who migrated from a Sudan via Mali to Ilorin. The name Agbaji is a Yoruba version of the town they come from "Al-barji" in the Sudan.

However, Most people classify SHUWA as FULANI just because of the close similarities between them.

one thing of note is that there's a Fulanization of the shuwa/tuareg in most Emirates. most shuwa, on account of close similarity with the Fulani, would just subsume their identities under that of the Fula identity, and interestingly they're welcome. Also, They're culturally Yoruba because they've assimilated the Yoruba culture, to a great extent.

So it is true, to an extent, that Saraki is a Fulani and a Yoruba man. it is also true that Saraki is not a Fulani nor Yoruba. However, what is true at all time is that Saraki is an Ilorin man!

Thank u

That's what I was telling that guy,he has Fulani ancestry his forefather 200 yrs ago was a Fulani from Mali who migrated into Ilorin but years of marriage to Yorubas has made him a Yoruba man.

Saraki is a Yoruba man with Fulani Ancestry.

Malawian:
There is something you people probably don't know. Yoruba people also bear "BUHARI" as surname. One Yoruba woman came to photocopy her National ID card in my office yesterday, I was just dumbfounded.

Are you sure it's not "BUSARI", that's what Yoruba bears.

9jaDoc:
Not only that, that was money she had STILL left in the banks when the EFCC finally moved in. She knew they were coming so she had been disappearing money as fast as she could.

True and she still has other offshore accounts in foreign countries. That Woman is a very big thief.

Is like most of y'all don't know what $31.4m Cash means, not her Net worth but Cash. Damn!!! that a lot of fucking money at hand.

She is a very big thief.

BAILMONEY:
SARAKI IS A FULANI MAN

I have proven to you he is a Yoruba man though I do recognize he has Fulani Ancestry. His Fulani fore-father that settled in Ilorin married Yoruba and since then it's been generations down the line marrying Yoruba that makes him a Yoruba man.

Now prove to me he is a pure Fulani Man.

BAILMONEY:
SO MUSTAPHA CHIKE OBI THE SON OF LEGENDARY MATHEMATICIAN (CHIKE OBI) IS A MUSLIM ABI GET SENSE UNA NOR GREE GET

Mumu better get sense yourself because I have one, I know you feel good telling yourself he is not a Yoruba man. I don't have time to argue over a fact. A man has a Yoruba name,his father has a Yoruba name,his siblings all have Yoruba names,he named his Children Yoruba names and you say such a man is Fulani does that sound logical to your brain. I think you are a mad man.

Markfemi:
Be deceiving yourself

We argued this issue long ago I don't have time to argue it with you again.

ALHAJI ABUBAKAR BUKOLA SARAKI IS A CONFIRMED AND CERTIFIED FULANI MAN

Stop saying rubbish, the man is a Yoruba man with Fulani Ancestry. Just like Ross Barkley of Everton FC is a White English man with Nigerian Ancestry.

His Elder sister is Gbemisola Saraki,his Junior brother is Laolu Saraki, his Father is Olusola Saraki, his daughter's name is Tosin Saraki, his Son's name is Olaseni Saraki and you say the man is not a Yoruba man.

You see why those IOC have refused to relocate their HQ from Lagos to the Niger Delta.

ipobslayer2016:
But yorubas got the vice president; senate president; and other key portfolios. Ipobs should learn how to play politics from their masters Yorubas instead of beating their hairy chest in vain

They will soon tell you Bukola Saraki is not a Yoruba man but a Fulani Man but we know better.

Ironsi stopped the coup so as to annex power for himself .

We all know in military law that any toile coup plot is punishable by death.
What judgment were given to the Igbo coup plotters?

They were kept in Enugu prison and were later released.

seunmsg:
Yes, we should blame Yoruba and Fulani for the coup. They killed everybody but forgot to kill their own brothers. This talk of Agunyi Ironsi foiling the coup is nothing but bullshit. It was an Igbo coup the succeeded in installing an Igbo president. So, how did the coup fail? We can only say the coup failed had Irosnsi supported the existing democratic institution by backing the hand over of power to Dipcharima. But instead, he hijacked power and fulfilled the mission of the Igbo coupist.

All fingers are pointing to the fact that, it is an Igbo coup, why did Irons not Court martial the coup plotters. The rule anywhere in the world was to court martial coup plotters and they face firing squad. Instead he kept them in the prison in Enugu.

Ironsi also forced the head of the Care taker head of Govt to surrender power to him and form a Unitary system which every region will have its own military governor under his command.

Mr Iwuanyanwu let's not go down this road again, the coup clearly looks like an Igbo coup because the core masterminders were Igbos.

We would have believed you, if Zik was killed but he decided to have his vacation to the Caribbean around that period also with the fact one of the Masterminders of the coup was his cousin(Ifeajuna). Michael Okpara(the then Eastern Premier)was also not killed and no single gun shot in the East.

They lay Siege in the North and West and killed their Premiers but the original plan was to lay siege in all the three regions and kill their Premiers, why was no single Political or military leader from the East killed?

The issue now is about how key is the appointment the South got, the SW deserved it anyway but I think the SE should be contempt with what they got. They didn't vote the man so they shouldn't expect to hold key positions.

The President was wrong to have mentioned the 97%/5% but the truth is that even in developed countries,you prioritize the people that voted for you over the people who didn't vote for you.

Lloydfather:
what do people used in Measuring this called populatio. Nigeria population statistics is a propaganda the government is using to marginalized the eastern people, i bet u if the government can conduct a geniue census the population of. Eboyin will beat that of Ogun state even with the massive migration outside igbo land. What u people has in ur land mass is bush areas (oko). About ss no city in south west minus Lagos can match any city as with exclusion yenagoa.

You yourself know the SE is empty, everyone has left there just d few commercial part like Onitsha,Aba,Nnewi.

Which Ogun state are you talking about is the one Igbos are now migrating to because of its proximity to Lagos ?You know SW is bigger than SS and the SE is just about the size of Oyo state alone so we still have enough lands.

Aside PH, Uyo,I don't think any city in the SS or SE can match Ibadan.

Lloydfather:
Mr man this ur lies are for the people who has never visit ur so call south west. My business has took me to all the major cities in all the east, west, south south, north central and some part of the north. Apart from Lagos, Ibadan and ilorin. No cities in south west can match Abakaliki not to talk of other major cities in south east.

Obviously u've not visit any south east state other than reading about them on the pages of news papers.

Have you been to Abeokuta to see the massive world class roads and over head bridges the Governor built.

Anambra has 3 Overheard bridges and Abeokuta alone has about 6 overheard bridges, 1 overhead bridge in Ota, 2 in Ijebu-Ode. What of Akure? In terms of Infrastructure SW beats the SE only the SS is in competition with the SW.

I have visited 3 SE states and what I can say is that region is disserted, the population there is very small. Ohaneze should do something about the migration 70% of Igbos live outside the SE. The SE is not any better than the SW or SS.

ElsonMorali:
Legendary status? Hahaha... I laugh in pidgin. Wasn't it this same woman that had a love child for Shina Peters?

Yeye dey smell...

She didn't have anything to do with Shina Peters o, it was Clarion Chukwura that had Clearance Peters(the music video director) for Shina Peters. Onyeka Onwenu and King Sunny Ade were lovers in the 80's .

Igbo people will never change, they are the most biased and sentimental people I have ever seen in my life. Most of the people supporting her behaviour in this thread are Igbos.

Tribe apart alot of people have attested to the fact that she is snobbish. Which is a bad behaviour, it's called Pride which is one of the characteristics God hates.

Lomprico2:
Make we dey see naa

Nothing to see, all Nigerians of all tribes will be allowed to own properties but I can assure you preference will be given to Yoruba Elites over other tribe elites because we own the territory.

Oba Saheed Elegushi, Oba of Oniru and many other kings in that territory, whose land they are developing will be allocated some houses and apartment.

Igbos say they are marginalized just 3 years ago, Igbos were controlling the govt and we never heard anything about marginalization or Biafra so it is now that their candidate lost they are now marginalized. Why did they not address the marginalization when they were in top positions of govt?

dearsly:


Don't know them, neither do I know Alimosho nor do I know the Mod dat pushed his village news to fp..

Smh

This one has never in his life been to Lagos before, posting from one stupid village in Alaigbo saying trash. If you know Lagos you know Alimosho.

So who them for employ before, IPOB?

people that will own 40% of properties there? Keep fooling yourself.

Which 40% ? Without even paying many Yoruba elites will be given free Apartments and houses for free. The likes of Tinubu, Ambode, Obasa,Fashola,Oba Saheed Elegushi, Osinbajo,Eleganza boss Razak Okoya,Bola shagaya, Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola,Wale Tinubu etc

Alcatraz005:
Exactly. Igbos are hurting themselves but they think we are the ones hurting. It would take years to heal the wounds of the past five years which was mainly instigated by the igbos. I thank God all Yorubas have woken up to the igbo threat. They are on a losing game already.

Yes, we are a very accommodating people and less tribalistic to other tribes but Igbos hate, chest beating and insults changed our relationship with them, during the Civil War, the tribes close to igbos seized their abandoned properties but we gave them all their properties back and welcomed them with open arms that is how they thrived in Lagos but they turn around and insult us.

hooklover:
Y are yorubas thinking they are 2much cos of Lagos. I don't get it. Is Lagos development not as a result of all ethnic groups putting hands together to make d state progress..

Was Lagos as a former capital not developed from oil proceeds from the South south....

If ibis and Biz guys decide to divert all free imports and exports to the south without reaching Lagos so u think Yoruba's have the skill to generate the money's for Lagos expansion...

Dangote stays in Lagos and uses all him money to develop Lagos tell me y he should not be able to contest for governor wen his business employs many Yoruba folks.....

You have many yorubas working all their lives in various oil companies in the South south Nigeria.

So Yoruba's should remember their kind men are every were and to feel welcome were u are state of residence is d best....

U can c Yoruba's are the most tribalitic set of folks in Nigeria.

We can even allow a good business man like Dangote become the Governor of Lagos, who contributes immensely to Lagos development and has integrated with Yorubas wear our traditional attire, speaks the language and respects our institutions. Most especially doesn't brag unlike Igbos who don't want to integrate with Yorubas, disrespects our traditional values,brags falsely they developed Lagos and insults us.

State of Origin doesn't apply to the Yoruba nation, many Yorubas from other states take on political office in Lagos. Solomon Adeola aka Yayi is from Ogun state and he is a Senator representing Lagos West constituency, James Faleke the to be Deputy of late Abubakar Audu is a house of Assembly members in Ikeja constituency and he is from Kogi state and many more like them holding office in Lagos.

obailala:
My grandfather is my source, he lost his entire wealth after the war.

You don't lose a War and expect everything to go back to Normal. Try to let it go, we understand the bitter experience Biafrans went through but you guys should stop looking for sympathy by twisting historical events.

Even people that had nothing then will lie to you they have millions of pounds before the war so you can direct your anger and hate to other Nigerians.

Alkanoicacid:
Where do you get this your mathematical biography? Saraki is from Ilorin o, not Kano o.

He's a full yoruba.
Don't bother to argue, I'm from Kwara and I know what I'm saying.

Go research I never said he is from Kano, he is a Yoruba man with Fulani Ancestry. Meaning his forefather was a Fulani Man and he married a Yoruba woman and his sons and generations down the line married Yoruba so he is now full blooded Yoruba.

The issue is that most of Igbos are too sentimental and emotional in their reasoning, they don't reason or argue with facts only emotions.

aribisala0:
The only way Nigeria would be responsible is if it took the money.
How is that possible operationally? Without a law. Without one single Newspaper article

Just think of it .Right now there is a proposal to take money in DORMANT accounts. If you use Google you will dicover newspaper articles but on this Biafra money NOTHING

Was there a computer programme developed to identify Igbo accounts ? How did this take over happen in practice?

Again how and why were Ikwerres spared? with their so called Igboid names?
Did soldiers take over the banks.
Was a decree promulgated


Lies can run for 100 years but truth will crawl for one day and overtake it

See I agree with you are and any reasonable person even from the East shouldn't believe this propaganda their people have been saying to their children.

Imagine the new independent Catalonians leaving money behind in Spanish banks does that makes sense. Biafrans went back to their homelands to declare their own country, so how is it possible to leave money in a bank of a country you know you aren't coming back to.

Besides let's not forget that Ojukwu changed the legal tender of Biafra to Biafra pounds from Nigerian Pounds. Is not like Biafrans were expecting to lose the war and return to Nigeria,so why would any sane person leave their monies in a Nigerian bank knowing fully well you going to your country and not coming back.

Remember we not talking about the digital age here where if you have a MasterCard or Visa card you can spend your money anywhere in the world.

Am sorry I just don't believe the Biafrans lost money in Nigerian banks,doesnt make any sense.
