MadamExcellency:
We are discussing the Lagos State government, not the Yoruba regional government. What surprises me is that individuals who have no investment or presence in Lagos State believe they have a say in its affairs simply because they are Yoruba. Ask yourself: has your choice in Lagos matters put food on your table? Be wise and stop holding grudges against yourself.

jmoore:
Atiku sabotaged the ticket. You guys should stop deceiving yourselves.

North and south rotation. That's why Obi chose to be Atiku's running mate in 2019.

Obi factored the north and south rotation in 2023 but your Atiku decided to contest again.

Atiku's greed is obvious.

The sources you are attaching are wrong assertion of some people.

The Ife and Ekiti have been bringing up a point that if Oyo hadn't got mixed up in the Slave Trade with the Fulani in the first place they wouldn't have been able to have invade Yorubaland because they wouldn't have found the space or chance to do all they did

Sheuns:
Kiriji war was between the Ekiti-parapo and Oyo and Ibadan. Ibadan was the war machine of the Old Oyo empire. Oyo did not fall to the Fulanis.

Oyo and the entire South western part of Nigeria fell to the British after the 16 years of the Kiriji war.

DeLaRue:
Nonsense.

The people of Ondo and I guess Ekiti have zero link to Oyo.

Most trace their origin to Ile Ife.

Their Kings accept the Ooni's status. Not Alaafin.

Also, you can’t force yourself to be THE leader. Most Yoruba Kings and people see the Ooni as occupying a uniquely special position.

Ooni is THE leader. Alaafin is A leader, but not on the same pedestal.

Slytiger:
Oyo had his own army. You are mixing eras up.
Some of the armies, relocated to Ibadan after the fall of Oyo, and became independent. Ogedenbe, a war general, trained at Ibadan but was never part of old Oyo army.

As per kiriji war. Not only Oyo and Ibadan. It was badically a western vs eastern Yoruba war.

helinues:
Abi, we are not living in the colonial era.

Oyo king is for the Oyo people, Ijebu king is for the Ijebu, oni of Life is for Osun people.

The time of lording over others expired long time

Obi explained to his audience that what appears to be an internal crisis in the two dominant opposition political parties – the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – has the government’s imprint written all over them.

Well I am from Ekiti, I don't have any tie with Oyo or ife at least not in my last 4 generations...

From my Oriki

My fathers has been staying on that piece of land for a long time my family own a quarter of their town, infact it was on our land that whole town comes to fetch water

All these are in my family panegyric

I believe we are Aboriginal Ekitis


I am closely related to Ileshas and Akure's and as you can see, the oldest existence of human habitation is the cave in Iwo Eleru near Oba ile, Akure


My people are from that axis, we never lived d in Ife or Oyo at anytime

Biodun556:
If not for Oyo, the whole Yoruba land would have been under Nupe or Fulani rule.

Oyo defended Yoruba land against invaders such as Dahomeh, Nupes and Fulanis. One Alaafin even died in the process. Oyo relocated it's settlements several times because of these wars. From Oyo Ile to Oyo katunga and then present Oyo.

Several wars were fought by Oyo to prevent incursions into Yoruba land from the north.

The groups known as Yorubas today were brought together and named by Oyo. Although, Yorubas speak the same language, they were from Ife; the same ancestral home but never had known common name.

Historically, Oranmiyan became Alaafin in Ife before moving to Oyo.

While Ooni is the father, Alaafin is the leader of all the kings.

Who counted it? Funny people.
