I personally think that the reason is religion.


Most Yoruba States are having Muslims as majority examples are, Ogun, Oyo,kwara, and Osun been the most Muslim dominated state.


If both SE and SW are Christians then, believe me that half of Nigerians problem has been solved.

When did you conduct your sensors?

If you don't have facts to back up your claim then, I'll advise you to stop misleading people by spewing trash.

Both ethnic groups supported Jonathan in 2011 before igbos monopolised him.

Let's see what will come out of this.

All these epistle because you are still nursing the pain of 2015 election. May your pain continue until 2023.

Believing buhari is uneducated shows your lack of education itself. Fools like you will never know peace for maligning a people for their democratic Choice.

Tinubu has not come out specifically to respond to any of the Fulani herdsmen killings. He is hedging his bets

At any rate he is not in government


What about Senator Tinubu his wife?

What has she done or said about the Fulani herdsen activities

Is her silence representative of her constituents.

What has she done to mobilize relief to the people of Benue?

How much money or food has Lagos state sent ?

Is this consonant with our values

Tinubu spoke about the issue of herdsmen last year. Google it.

What are the the senators from Benue doing concerning herdsmen? What are the leadership of the NASS doing? By now I expect the NASS to pass a bill banning open grazing in Nigeria. But saraki and dogara are not interested.

There are three senators from Lagos. What have the others done? Or you can only take Remi to ransom while leaving the rest? Have you called out David Mark?

You want her to use the money appropriated to her constituency donated to Benue while others keep theirs.

I can see you just hate the woman.

0monnak0da:
Stop the pathetic whining .

You made the point relentlessly and beyond a point when most reasonable people would have moved on.

The issue that she iis not from Lagos State is an incidental observation. Why then try to misrepresent me as though I anywhere said she should be voted out for that reason.
Is not another Lagos Senator now trying to be governor in Ogun?

Please spare me the sob story

Our beef with her is that she did not get there on Merit and she has not performed.Her behaviour at the senate has often brought embarrassment to Lagos State. It is also noteworthy that she is not from Lagos.

You started your topic by pointing out that she's not an indigene of the state. So don't pretend not to take it serious. If not you wouldn't put it in your topic in the first place. Nobody needs any legislature knowing that customarily, a woman becomes an indigene of her husband's place in Yoruba land and in some other African cultures. She is a Lagosian by marriage.

You said she didn't get there on merit. Can you explain to us why she's not qualified to be a senator? Is she not qualified academically?

On the issue of performance. Can you judge her on the level of other senators from the state? What are others doing that she's not doing?

If you can't provide clear answers to these, then I'll agree you have personal issues with her.

Yet people still bought fuel at 205 in Taraba today with queue sef

How did you know this from Aba?

Redoil:
The afonja have always been known for betraying the southern part of nigeria so ur solution wont work

Is Afonja another name for igbos?

RedeemNigeria:
All other parts of Nigeria agree that restructuring is the way forward except the North.

This means that the North is the biggest beneficiary of the current structure.

There is an angle in this whole issue that no one is really looking at.

The un-noticed angle is that all other parts of the country have the SAME INTEREST which is restructuring

It is therefore foolish for anyone to expect restructuring in any regime led by a Northerner.

If other regions are truly sincere about restructuring, they should team up as one in their voting pattern.

Just think of what the North would do if they don't taste power at the center for the next 20 years with no hope of ever getting there again!

The results: The North will be first to call for restructuring or even opt to break away.


BIAFRA and the other agitating republics, this is simply the formula that will make your self determination a reality. If not, it is only a dream that will become a nightmare.

And if this formula does not result into restructuring or the breaking of Nigeria, it will surely result into a better country because it will at least force everyone to the negotiating table. No one will dominate the other again.

Mention any legislator from the south that's pushing for restructuring in the national assembly.

You guys keep shouting north as if southern politicians want restructuring.

igbodefender:
Debunk history with facts not emotional higgy hagga.

Which 'history' and 'facts' are you talking about when your premise is false already?

Kestolovee95:
Click this link and read excerpts from Achebe's books. The word 'Ibo' was only used in TFA printed in the UK by caucausians and that book was simply written for the consumption of foreigners who previously believed that Africans never had their own governments before the colonial days.

In subsequent editions and in other books it was 'Igbo' all through.

This one is giving me a link that was written recently. I'm talking of his early works.

DeviIhimself:

trash trash trash
you're a yeroba Muslim
easy to spot

e pain am well well

why do you wawa ibos keep disgracing the original ibos from anambra?

DeviIhimself:
call a spade by its name
Fayose is greater than all yeroba leaders dead or alive
kiss the truth

My osu brother, let's say the truth. No ibo man is fit to tie Fayose's shoelace. he's grater than all ibos put together.

I'm ashamed the man is Yoruba. They are greater than us.

Strikethem:
Okay

That igbodefender is the most pathetic history re-writer I have seen on this forum. He's the same fool that keeps propagating the lie that the January 1966 coup plotters wanted to install Awolowo as the president.

When I asked him what kind of president did they want to install. Is it a civilian-military head of state or civilian president without election? I'm yet to see his response.

GBTYO:

It has since been acknowledged by your fellow yorubas on this thread right from pg 0 that the term Yoruba was a foriegn description by mainly Hausa/Fulani who referred to your ancestors as Oyoroba in refrence to oyo and oba.

Wawa illiterate. I guess oyoroba is Ibo language. The fact the name is Yoruba itself should tell you it was not given by a foreigner. But knowing how dimwitted you are, I am not surprised.

Kestolovee95:
You still dey deceive yourself, no be so? Unicef dey come give you hand outs very soon.

This one has been boxed into a corner. show me any written text fifty years ago were igbo is written. even Azikiwe's newspaper never wrote igbo. he couldn't pronounce 'gb' too.

Osu dimwit.

Kestolovee95:
So because of the white man's difficulty in the pronouncing the 'gb' consonant sound as done in Igbo language 'Igbo' didn't exist 50 years? bwahahaha! chei!

I think Unicef should declare an emergency in yoruba and rush down with food and drugs that can reverse the debilitating mental disease epidemic going on there if not in the next 20 years we'll have we'll have 99% of SW people walking around with super retarded mongolian idiocy features commonly known as down syndrome.

achebe in his writings never wrote igbo, but ibo. I guess he couldn't pronounce 'gb' too. retard!

GBTYO:
Pathetic liar you are...

The term Yoruba was coined by Sahelian scholar.

Much of the early written works of Yoruba history by the likes of Ajayi Crowther referenced this same Songhai Muslim scholar. The word Yoruba came from him and was propagated by the likes of Ajayi Crowther into the 19th and early 20th century vocabulary.

Never ever in pre-colonial times did the people now known as Yoruba ever refered to themselves as Yoruba.

So that makes OP (me) to be 100% accurate in my assertion that the term Yoruba was coined by an Arab Muslim foriegner

I think you are just a slow illiterate. The Songhai scholar wrote about the Yoruba people he met. The same way the Europeans wrote about the Yoruba people they met. does that mean they also gave us the name? I have told you what it means. Even the OP of this thread gave the meaning when he wrote is as Oyoroba, and for you to be asking shows how retarded you are. Only Oyo people were referred to as Yoruba pre-colonial history.

the Ajayi Crowder you referenced talked about the first foreigner to document the name.

Or can you tell us what it means in Songhai?

GBTYO:
And who coined the phrase?

The Oyo people. they are so proud of their oba to be called his people.

Meanwhile, Dr osuji says igbo has no meaning in igbo language.

Nonaira1:
Idiot I'm a member of Proudly anioma, proudly Igbo for years. Participant in the group for years and both Ngozika and Osita are active members in the group for YEARS that's how come i know who the Bleep they. Osita Mordi is the creator of the group and he himself stated he is Ndokwa. Infact, if i recall correctly he was an old NL member on this forum.

I am still waiting on ANY Olumkumi attendance to ANY yoruba traditional events. Even limited to Ugbodu king sef since na an una dey use for your desperado. Still nothing

I'm still waiting on ANY olukumi well known personnel that ever claimed yoruba. WHY IS THIS SIMPLE TASK A DAUNTING TASK FOR UNA?

I've been asking this for HOURS now and still been avoided by you attache by force desperado. How hard is this simple task? Is it only on NL stories that they claim yoruba. I'm waiting!!!

What does attending events have to do with anything. The fact they don't deny where they come from is enough proof for anybody with brain.

Have you seen any Olukumi deny where they come from? answer that question you fool.

GBTYO:
What does Yoruba mean in Yoruba?

The people of the Oba of Oyo. Because the Oba of Oyo was so popular in those days due to the influence of Oyo empire. It was used exclusively for Oyo people before it was generally accepted by the Yoruba.

Nonaira1:
This entire thread says otherwise



Does not look like it based on una desperation on this thread. Like I said before you should go to olukumni and start forcing am as yoruba. Attache by force desperados

When will you have sense? The fact that the people agree they migrated from Yoruba land is enough proof for you. They could have denied if they don't want to have anything to do with Yoruba.

Kestolovee95:
So IgboUkwu with their 5,000 year old bronze architecture were living in the moon before 50 years ago.
UNICEF was right, yoruba brain are stunted and can never reason properly. Most of you are down with down syndrome.

wawa. the fact it was named igboukwu doesn't mean the people were called igbo. nobody called you igbo fifty years ago. show me any written text were you were called igbo. you were known as eboe until recently.

Nonaira1:
How did people that migrated from sudan suddently become Yoruba?

See question from grade A fool

In Yoruba history, It is believed we migrated from the middle east. Some of our people are found in Sudan up till this moment with our traditional Yoruba tribal marks. But we are Yoruba now.

You on the other hand is claiming a people migrated from Yorubaland and become Igbo.

Are you daft?

Nonaira1:
Name whenever you've heard Zeal from Styl-plus ever called himself yoruba? Even when he was called the igbo boy in styl plus, did he ever come out to say otherwise. Ironically enough, he's from the olukumi community.

What about Dr Amankwe, another Olukumni, call himself yoruba?

What about Rose odika, Helen Anyamelune, etc ever called themselves yoruba?

Hell which of this name, all of whom are olukumnis sound yoruba to you.

Fucking HAVE SHAME!!!!

Stick to despereately attaching yourselves to iteskiri and leave Anioma alone. You don't exist in our land and we don't want una!!

You are dull walahi. how can people that migrated from Yoruba land suddenly become igbo?

Can the ibos in Yorubaland ever become Yoruba?

Strikethem:
i is true o. I read it somewhere.

That the truth bro.

Yyeske:
Any intelligent mind would be happy I taught you something they've never bothered knowing, instead of you to be happy and thanking me, you are busy spoiling for an e-fight.
Just know that Igbo has a meaning in the Igbo language.

But you sure know that there's nothing like igbo 50 years ago. It was eboe, before turning to ibo and later igbo presently.

Nonaira1:
I am an Anioma. I even have siblings, big sister, married into olukumni community therefore, I know my own people.

We do not have yoruba in aniomaland. You people need to have shame!!

You are the shameless fool. You said they migrated from Yorubaland and you are still confused as to whether they are Yorubas!

Can igbos in Lagos ever become Yoruba?

Nonaira1:
Do you people ever have Shame at all? Seriously Afonjas does your clan ever have shame at all? How many times do we have to tell you people THERE ARE NOT ANY YORUBA IN ANIOMA LAND!!!! Stop repeatedly trying to attach unaselves to aniocha through olukumni. We no want una!!!! The olukumni history traces them to yoruba yes but today they are not yoruba. The community in question don't claim una. Even the few celebrities from that side have never once claimed una yet you people just can't stop this patheticness. Please stivk to itsekiri you've been claiming and leave Aniocha land alone. Abeg. We don't want una!!!

What's this emotional outburst all about?

You admit they migrated from Yorubaland and you are hyperventilating how they are not Yoruba again?

Are you normal at all?

GBTYO:
What does "Yoruba" mean in your yoruba tongue?

Oyoroba!

What the hell is oyoroba? What does it mean.

I'm Yoruba and I know what it means to me.

Thetruthsayer10:
how is Oyoroba a mockery according to the osu lol

I want to see his translation in 'hausa'

He's just another foolish pig.

ayzTIGER:
Hausa/Fulani have been lording it over you since time immemorial that they even gave you the name you answer today. I now understand why Yorubas are very loyal to the Caliphate.

Just the way we gave you your own name. Igbo= people living in the bush.
