OK, we have heard. The fact that Ibadan exists at all is causing you pain. Oya, take panadol for your headache and continue ranting....

FriendNG:
You're also barking. You get jealous of something when it is better than you not when otherwise. I don't hate anything or anyone. But I hate lies and false brag.

You are more ignorant, you better behave or you will get your medicine on this thread!

One alake woke up one day and decided to make a "ranking of obas" which consists of him just saying: "this guy is number one, this other guy is number two, this guy is number three and I am number four". And somehow that has become your bible ?
How old are you ? The title Oba comes from a longer title: "Omo n'Oba n'Edo".
Now go figure who is copying who ?
Also did your ooni or alafin fight against the british ?
The real Oba did !
Guess what his name was and what kingdom he ruled.

Please answer these questions sincerely:
Are you a Muslim?
Are you a northerner?
If you answer yes to any of the above questions, then you are an hypocrite.

We don't need to deceive ourselves, Buhari divided us more and make us to suspect one another like we are doing now.

All the same, I love you my brother, Buhari or no Buhari, we are all victims.

osusuallstars:
but in clear language, President fits this man. wish we could give him a chance

thunder74:
Buhari knows, Apc knows, Sarrki knows and every reasonable persons know that Buhari is dividing the country along ethnic and religious line.

Even on this thread, many Muslims and Northerners will support Buhari as I am against him now as a Christian and Omoluwabi.

HOW ANCIENT TOWNS/CITIES WERE NAMED.

Today, i see people fighting over town,ethnic or regional affiliation.

Going by what we see on social media, often, we hear things like, i am biafran,lagosian,hausa, igbo etc. Some times, it comes like, i am from ilorin, Benin, Oyo and so on.

Today, i was tagged in a page and i saw a link which i tried to checkout.

Upon getting to the site, there was the history of how an ancient town (Oyan) came into being. After reading the history, it occurred to me that, most of the sources of tribal crisis are meaningless. These towns or tribe we clinch to so hard are merely a none existing entity at a point. It was different people from different areas that came together to form that town or ethnic group which with time came to give them one united identity. If they didn't come together, that ethnic or town wouldn't have been born.

kindly read below..

THE BRIEF HISTORY OF OYAN

Aladepe was the founder of Oyan, who migrated from Ile-Ife as far back as 1210. A descendant of Aregbajo of Igbajo from Akeran quarters Ile-Ife, a war like Prince and a farmer.

Aladepe was noted to be a glutton (Oyannu) his attitude towards food whenever he was hungry always brought a remarkable conclusion. It happened one day when Aladepe was returning form farm/hunting expedition, Aladepe demanded for his food but the food was not provided immediately by his wives, this made him to peel up the sweet potato, eat them raw without waiting for the food on fire. The astonished people for this action nicknamed him as (Oyannu) a glutton. The passerby and neighbourhoods whenever they want to make a stopover at Aladepe’s camp usually stressed ---------- I would make a stop-over at “Oyannu’s camp” a glutton’s camp. Later Oyannu was shortened to Oyan up till today.

There are only four ruling houses in Oyan, namely:-

1. Olomooba’s compound
2. Elemo Oluyeye/Aresinkeye’s compound
3. Daodu’s compound
4. Lajojo’s compound
