Remember that Fulani were not originally from this Geographical space called Nigeria they migrated from Mecca down to Mali, Senegal down to the old Songhai Empire. Even if there were traces of Mosque built in Old Oyo Empire majority did not practise Islam in Yoruba Land not until the Afonja-Alimi encounter that converted many Ilorin people and there after spread Islam throughout the entire Yoruba Land.

Utman Dan fodio only continued Jihad in Northern Nigeria. Fulani had already started a Jihad in Mali and other West African nations way way before Utman Dan fodio was born.

bakynes:
You are the very ignorant one, how can you say Yoruba Ilorin people practiced Islam before Hausa and Fulani people when in Actual fact Fulani brought Islam into what is now called Nigeria. Fulani who migrated from Mecca forced many West African tribes into Islam through Jihad (Holy War)

So you don't know the Alimi-Afonja story?

JamesDoe:
Kwarans, ronu.

Whenever I meet a Kwaran and they give me a heavy Arabic name, I stare at them till they give me their Yoruba name.

There are Moslems in SW states but they use their Yoruba names and even when they have Arabic names they will provide the Yoruba name. So Kwarans, why?

KnowAll:
What is wrong with this Ilorin people, they behave like a defeated people despite the fact that the incursion into their land that made them Muslims in the 1830’s was the same continual one albeit subtle incursion into the SW that made several people Muslims in Lagos, Ogun, Oshun, Oyo and Ondo State.

Why do the other Yoruba’s despite being Muslim or Christians still put on traditional Yoruba caps when they dress in native attires? The Kwara people despite being Yoruba just want to belong, their attitude to me appear as someone trying effortlessly to woo the North and each time they try hard, the Northerners spurns such overtures with disdain. Is it not high time they smell the coffee and retrace their steps embracing and celebrating their Yorubaness instead of being an attaché to a Group who does not reckon and want them.

During the last PDP insistence that the Presidential Candidate for the Party should come from the North, Kwara’s Saraki was openly spurned and referred to as a Yoruba man yet the silly guy and the even more sillier new Governor goes around wearing one stupiiiid Hausa cap trying to belong. What is wrong with this people? 

tinsel:
Must you guys bring Jonathan in every discussion?

PhockPhockMan:
.
On APRIL 15, 2014,
Gov Kwankwaso sweeps off President Jonathan’s footmarks shortly the former President left Kano after a party rally.
Mr. Kwankwaso posted the picture of his team’s action on Facebook.
On JANUARY 26, 2018.
Former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso was banned from entering Kano state on Police ‘Advise’ that it may NOT be safe for him and his supporters?
Goodluck Jonathan was a very honest man, and Karma is visiting all those that insulted and lied against GEJ while in office.
KWANKWASO, HOW MARKET?

I PRAY TINUBU N OBJ WORKS AGAINST PMB

Mastermindx:
Are u mad?
Study obj carefully, u will notice the qualities of a great leader in him.
He his both feared and respected as a leader

CaptainJeffry:
Tinubu can control the SW no doubt but OBJ can manipulate both the SS, SE and a good percentage of the entire North to belittle him.

slydog:
Brief History of OBJ's Letters

OBJ's involvement in any issue signifies the imminent end of that issue.

1) HE wrote to Shagari when the latter was allegedly mismanaging the economy few months later the military smashed Shagari government in 1983.

2) HE MANGLED IBB’s vaulted economic program—SAP –not having a human face ----

I. An overzealous then Navy Capt Mike Okhai Akhigbe called him a frustrated Old Man
II. a jittery IBB knew better and quickly responded with a SAP Palliatives
III. Today as we speak IBB is a shadow of himself --- Although Mike Okhai Akhigbe rose to be a Vice Admiral but died some year back --incidentally both men are way his junior in rank and age

3) HE heckled MKO--- SAYING HE IS NOT THE MESSIAH ---- his mandate was annulled & MKO eventually died when he stubbornly fought to restore his mandate

4) He heckled ABACHA -- and described him as a STONE AGE DICTATOR ,

I. Enraged Abacha got him jailed and his erstwhile deputy Maj Gen Shehu Musa Yar’adua detained alongside him ……unfortunately Yar’adua died in Prison
II. OBJ death sentence was commuted into prison term,
III. HE wrote another letter to Abacha titled NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT, Where he said, "I was a head of state yesterday, today, I'm in jail. You're the head of state today, tomorrow, your condition may be worse than mine...". We knew what happened ----- Indeed, Abacha's future and fate was worse as he ended inside the grave!!!

5) OBJ came back in Power as a democratically elected President ---didn't write himself while in power but instead wrote his deputy, Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku since then has been politically OSCILLATING like a pendulum SWINGING,DECAMPING RECAMPING RETICULATING and ATIKULATING………
This once impressive powerful Politician has become a shadow of his pre-2003 self since then.

Lest I forgot the “Oyi of Oyi”—DR. Chuba Okadigbo—tested his mettle after a VISIT and dinner at his house Dr. Chuba Okadigbo lost his senate Presidency and died later --

6) Although he didn’t write the Late President Shehu Yar’adua, any letter to the best of my knowledge but learnt his voice to the public outcry and publicly asked him to resign!!!-----it became NUNC DIMITIS -----after a prior doctrine of necessity

7) HE upbraided and warned GEJ- in a in a letter titled BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE GEJ volleyed in a sally calling him a motor park tout --- and it became too late for GEJ to act……….

He has written to PMB an 18 page verbal sledgehammer strewn with multiple combination punches –with a devastating 3 punch finishing combo- reminiscent of a Mike Tyson style era

As I post…..
1) The villa is in disarray

2) PMB is in a daze rushed into a Political ICU- needs absolute care else the letter becomes his political abattoir

3) ..it’s obvious PMB is in for a long ride we don’t know if he can overcome this

4) Hitherto protected boastful Babachir – is the first man down from the cabal train –more may follow

It looks like a “Chiller as a Thriller in the Villa “reminiscent of a Mohammed Ali/Frazier Thriller in Manilla”

Would PMB — BITE THE DUST EASILY –if he pushes “his luck and task our patience” as contained in the (coded warning) in OBJ’s letter…………………

WAILERS pray this prayer points
in my life I reject to be a recipient of any “EBORA EKUN of OWO” letters

In my life I reject to visited by any EBORA EKUN – of OWO

HAILERS come for deliverance prayers don’t forget to bring your offerings and tithes!!!

elgramz:
Dem don sacrifice am for one person political ambition. The other time na Tinubu son die, now na deji tinubu. All this thing na make one brown teeth old man dey got political power. Mtcheeew!!

Amarabae:
I understand you. Just that using the term can put the op in depression. Calling it a skin condition is quite OK than calling it a disease Vitiligo victims need counseling and psychological help. Thanks.

chernest2002:
Who is tinubu? He is just an opportunist, he will die politically with buhari because afenifere we know do not support him. Apology or not he is a goner.

hinohsend:
I thought Tinubu was inconsequential, a local champion, one dumbo named southeastfacts even said Okorocha has a larger political clout than Tinubu.... so why the tears everywhere.

Sprumbabafather:
The library is useless, if there is no book there that teaches him to educate all the almajirins in the streets of Kano or how fulanis can ranch their cattle in the north.

musicwriter:
Igbos voted for Abiola. In fact, he won convincingly all over the nation.

What the data you sent in actually proves is that Northers understand how to play politics more than any other ethnic group. In other words, they know how to use South-East or South-west whenever it would help them climb to power.

The question is; how are they able to do that? I suggested religion. If not religion, let me know; how are they able to use the South-East or South-west?

musicwriter:
You missed the point. I' am not even interested in religion.What I pointed out is the reason I think it's easier for North to work with South-west and vise versa. I' am not talking about or even interested in intra politics in South-west.

Every ethnic group love themselves as much as Yorubas love themselves, though Yorubas seem to bond more with each other.

musicwriter:
It's only on Nairaland you see such. Islam is the reason the North and South-west feel comfortable with themselves.

Yoruba's even like Igbos. What part of Yoruba land aren't Igbos everywhere? There're even Igbos in farmlands all over Illesha, I believe in Ogun state. There've never been an ethnic crises between the two. I have lived in Lagos for over 20 years and never quarrelled with a Yoruba man. They don't even care where you come from or what you do, once you pay him the house rent on time and you don't make trouble.

Islam is the only reason they work together, exactly how a Christian from the North,South,East,West would want to work with fellow Christians everywhere. Unfortunately, Christians in the South-west aren't the ruling class.

jammer777:
U call that i-complex? I think u're the one intimidated. When u see such posts, just ignore and free urself of the self induced hatred.

tope2000:

Charlesdock:
What she said is too much.. against fellow human being kai! people wicked ooh

iyke926:
I still blame Islam/Muslims for being responsible for terrorism around the World.


"An average Muslim is a ticking time bomb". - Isaac Newton 1734

Charlesdock:
And who told you she used her unborn babies for rituals?
You're some with wicked thoughts just as the guy said earlier.

Threebear:
LMAO, after Nigerians disgraced themselves finish, one idiott even said Yoruba's rule entertainment.

BanMePls:
Everyone knows this without providing evidence. It has always been like that. In fact, truth be told, it is easier to find a Christian lecturer in the North than Muslim lecturer in the SE. They are hypocrites.

Sprumbabafather:
We wish you luck with voting him out. We will stand aside and watch this one. Nothing concern us.

Sprumbabafather:
less than 0.01% of igbos voted Buharri, igbos are very wise and makes good decisions. More than 96% yorubas voted the dullard.

Sprumbabafather:
people are dying because of those who voted Buharri, do you suggest everyone sweep it under the carpet?
