What do you consider enlightenment?

I am sure you followed the tread about Sunday Igboho and the Fulanis and you saw people's reaction, thats what I mean by enlightment. People are ready to fight and stand for their rights and the social media is ready to aid them.

The world is now a Global one, you can't tell people to do something against their will simply because you are wealthy, not anymore at least not in this century, the people will rebel.

StaffofOrayan:


Oga famine is coming,
The war/jihad never stopped,
We are paying for our own destruction with ransoms,
We are part of a country that can't protect anyone,
What is sophisticated about that?
If you ask 10 yorubas where they think yorubaland would be in 50 years, they have zero clue, we are like a ship sailing to its own doom,
If you ask 10 Fulanis where they think their race will be in 50 years, they would tell you they would have conquered Nigeria,

Calm down, if the Fulanis couldn't conquer us in the 1800s, they can't do it now when everyone is more enlightened, relax.

ImperialYoruba:
If you live in south and in rural area you will get run down by fulani herdsmen. If you live in southern city you get run down by dangote trucks.

Either way a fulani will kill you. So which one of them is good fulani?

It must stop!

Exactly, it must stop!!!

The foundation of Nigeria unity was built on lies and gun power and have been sustained by lies and gun power, while Northern Fulani have been behind the trigger...

The more we realize the truth the more divided we become. It's now obvious that One Nigeria can only be sustained if Yoruba Elites agree to remain a slave to the North. Enough is enough!!!

Some naive Yorubas are claiming there's difference between peaceful & non peaceful Fulani, forgetting that's the mistake Middle-Belt made that landed them in IDP camp on their ancestral lands.

The so called peaceful Fulani help and assist their violent kins, examples of peaceful Fulanis are El Rufai, the body bag governor, Zulum, the story teller, the so called Emir of Ilorin helping killer Seriki in Ibarapa. Sultan of Sokoto who uses the name of God to justify evil, Dangote uses indigenous wealth to enrich himself, Atiku silent in the face of genocide, the so called Imam that allows the non peaceful Fulani to keep their weapons in the mosque, the Seriki that launders the kidnappers loot, the Fulani that litters Lagos international Airport or Yoruba ports begging for bribes, the list is endless.

All Fulani is Fulani and the agenda is the same.

The Yoruba will not be ending up in Internal Displacement Camps with peaceful and non peaceful Fulani taking over our lands and renaming it.

Yoruba will pass on her land to generations unborn as the ancestors did for us.

Buhari should be made to see this letter and ask himself some questions, not just him but all the present politicians.

Nigeria government has always been a scam, most of our politicians are after their pocket, they don't care about the masses.

StaffofOrayan:
I just imagine what Oduduwa Republic would have been like,
Shame we have too many idiotss in the land

Yorubas(Yoruba Nation) are the Germany of Africa. We have intellectual beings and we have the resources, just that we have a few selfish ones among us but that is going to end soon. Oodua Republic is happening very soon lola Eledumare.

StaffofOrayan:



It's already unfolding and our elites have sold out

Our Elites can't sell us out. Yorubas are too sophisticated and more intelligent. Whoever is planning on doing that for whatever political reasons is just wasting his time. Yorubas are not Hausas that Fulanis can manouver, we all have a mind of our own and a sharp mind at that.
Like I said, lets sit and watch.

aribisala0:


I do not think that is true . Indeed it is another example of an untruth repeated often enough becoming "true"

History was available in JAMB and WAEC when I was in school and I believe that is still the case today

WAEC syllabus and past questions for history are still online.

It is quite different now. Every school especially the government owned schools studied history in the 60s and 70s but it is not the same now.

StaffofOrayan:


Do we strike you as a people that have learnt anything? Who is going to evict those tens of thousands of Fulanis in our forests invited by our elites? People that have successfully stopped our people from farming!
WAKE UP!
We are still trading land for an imaginary position called presidency in an imaginary country called Nigeria, while losing real land!

What about impregnating minors?

Okay, I thought you were referring to our brothers across the Niger

No bro.

We don't share the same language, culture, borders.
So, ta ni "ile eni"?

If not, Arinfin lo ma muwa

You got me wrong, I was only elaborating more on your proverbs.

He who lives in glass house shouldn't throw the first stone.

aribisala0:
Well many young "omoluabis" do not . They need to be educated or reminded.

The reality is that Igbos have ALWAYS voted for HAUSA FULANI except with GEJ /Buhari
With the Yoruba the exact opposite is the case

This is true and a question has always been on my mind Why did the Nigerian Government stop history studies in our secondary schools. It wasn't so in the 60s and 70s. What happened? Is it what I am thinking?

People don't change!
People are the sons and daughters of their fathers, it's genetics
History repeats itself because people don't change, it's that simple

I beg to differ bro, History repeats itself only if we are unfortunate enough to learn from it. It is as simple as that!

aribisala0:

We cannot unite around lies

The claim was
Yoruba keep voting for Hausa/Fulani



Is it true?

We Omoluabis know the claim is untrue, the facts are there.

Sammy07:


Kindly check the elections of
1960
1965
1979
1983
1993

Maybe you'll edit your comment and substitute Yorubas for igbos.

By the way, the only election Yorubas align with Fulanis is 2015.

Guess who were those aligning with them since 1959.
Your guess is as good as mine.

We know the truth and the truth will always reveal itself but that's not the issue now, we don't want to cause an online tribal war here. We want all southerners to unite, that should be the aim.

My words of advice; Falana should tread carefully.

aribisala0:


Go and look at history .

Your premise is untrue


Igbos have voted most consistently for them

1960
1965
1979
1983
1993

Bro, calm down don't let us go too far yet. Don't let us talk about how Zik and the Sarduana merged to spite the Yorubas in the 60s and their escapades with Shagari in the 80s too. Let just keep watching for now.

TheExecutioner:
Buhari wouldn't be in office if he had won less than 50 percent of the vote in the South West in 2015, but you gave him 96% of your votes.
This is not a pro Jonathan issue since I believe Jonathan had his own flaws and shortcomings, but do you think the level of insecurity in the South West would have been this bad if Buhari had lost the 2015 elections?

The answer to your question is this: If Jonathan had done the right thing whilst in office, no sane being would think of voting him out. There should be nobody to be blamed for this, it was the most logical thing to do at that time.

StaffofOrayan:


Bro please let's be real for God's sake!
Whether they end up like afonja or not, the land is gone FOREVER!
Wherever they conquer, the people become an opposition to the greater race,
For example a Yoruba in Ilorin doesn't know whether to support the yoruba cause or his emir, an Hausa can't help but fight for the fulani, etc

Stop comparing what happened in 1800s to what is happening now. This is the 21st century bro, people are more wiser. Things like that can't happen anymore especially with the advent of social media, they know this that's why they have been panicking.

Mumu Country

TheExecutioner:
Just one question and I don't mean to be disrespectful:
Why do Yorubas keep voting for the Hausa Fulani?

What kind of question is this? Are you an Inec commissioner or how do you come to such a conclusion?

No wonder no be today Fulanis behin deal with Afonjas



The Mastery of house burning no be here o

Later on, the Fulanis also joined the Ijaye to punish Ibadan from preventing them to spread Islam in Yorubaland.

StaffofOrayan:
What is the point of all that war when Miyeti Allah are Vigilantes in our own damn land,

Those warriors shouldn't have bothered fighting if they knew their coming generations would give up their land because they want to president of an imaginary country

Only a foolish people gives up real land for an imaginary political position,

It seems like you don't know the YORUBAS. No true Omoluabis will give up his ancestral land to a stranger and those who are trying to do it because of political position will end up like Afonja.

So true, kudos the the writer.

It is a known fact that whenever the Yorubas take a united stand over any issue, they are undefeatable....

Over the years the southwest have watched with keen interest the series of unholy activities of bandits taking place within its borders, several appeal to the federal government to improve the security situation seemed to have either fallen on deaf ears or it has not been taken seriously enough and if at all taken seriously, it is proof that the current security architecture of the country is not suitable for effectively securing the lives and properties of the citizenry.

The last straw that broke the Camel's back was the death of Mrs Olufunke Olakunrin, daughter of Afenifere Elder Statesman, Chief Fasoranti who died at the hands of bandits, this was the uniting factor.

The Southwest appealed again but it seemed like nothing was being done at the federal level.
More so the body language of the centre seemed to be appealing to the bandits rather than taking the fight to them, this furthermore emboldened the faceless bandits.

The Yorubas are known to be an extremely enlightened tribe and history has shown that the Yorubas know how to fight their battles without unnecessary confrontations.

The culturally sophisticated Yoruba have always been the voice of reasoning in the political climate of the country, this has earned them the image of a people who strike a balance between the extremely conservative and lesser-educated north and the progressive west but now the story is gradually changing, the relatively peaceful southwesterners have suddenly woken up to discover their meek nature has been mistaken for weakness.

It wasn't a surprise when the Southwestern Elders and Governors came together regardless of their political parties and ideologies to present a united security front against banditry in form of Operation Amotekun.

I leave you with these words "WHEN THE YORUBAS UNITE OVER ANY ISSUE, THEY ARE UNDEFEATABLE".

Proudly omo'luabi

Welcome Omo Yoruba tooto.

"The Ibadan-Ijaye war broke out in 1861 between Ibadan and Ijaye over who to succeed the old Oyo empire as the political head of Yorubaland. The two rebelling towns sprang up from the ruins of the Old Oyo empire which was destroyed in 1836 by Afonja and Fulanis. Ibadan, Ijaye and the new Oyo, also called Oyo Atiba, succeeded the Old Oyo empire after its destruction. According to Latisosa, a Balogun of Ibadanland who fought in the war, “the war was a feud among three brothers over how to share common properties.” The three brothers, Ibadan, Ijaye and Oyo-Atiba failed to reach conclusion on who should suceed the Old Oyo as the political head of Yorubaland.

In 1855, Ibadan being the largest and the most populated of the three towns convened a meeting with the other towns to carve out the best way of restoring the fading unity and dignity of the land. At the meeting, the Alafin of the new Oyo (Oyo-Atiba) was said to be the most senior among the three towns, and as a result of this, other towns in Yorubaland should pay tribute to the new Oyo. Finally, Yorubaland has another head therefore proposing peace among some Yoruba towns like Ijebu and Egba.

In the same atmosphere, the Ijayes, Egbas and Ijebus raised some doubts on the policies of the Ibadans. Kurumi of Ijaye suspected that Ibadan’s intention was to create an empire of her own and not to set up the leadership of the New Oyo (Oyo-Atiba).

This suspicion rose as Ibadan continue to accept annual tribute from her own subjects while she encouraged those of Ijaye to send theirs to the Alafin.

The last straw that broke the camel’s back was the succession issue to the throne of Oyo-Atiba after the death of Atiba in 1859. Ibadan supported the idea that Atiba’ son should succeed him so as to ensure the continuation of the Ibadan tribute policy.


Kurumi of Ijaye opposed this claiming it was against the tradition of throne succession in Oyo. Kurumi’s opposition was supported by the Egbas and the Ijebus.

Ibadan saw this as another attempt to bring an end once more to the unity of Yorubaland and vowed to prevent this by all means. Ibadan didn’t want Kurumi, the then Are-Ona-Kakanfo, to become another disobedient Afonja, and it was on this ground that the Ibadan-Ijaye war broke out.

The war was fought in the forest between Ibadan and Ijaye. The Egbas joined the war on the side of Ijaye in order to prevent Ibadan from becoming a colossus in Yorubaland.

The Ijebus also joined the Ijaye side in order to foil Ibadan’s attempt of creating enmity between them and Remo in order to secure a route to the coast. Later on, the Fulanis also joined the Ijaye to punish Ibadan from preventing them to spread Islam in Yorubaland.

The Ibadan army camped at Ilora, 13 miles north of Ijaye while the Ijaye forces, led by Ogunbonna of Abeokuta, camped at Olokemeji on the River Ogun.

The Ijaye, Egba, Fulani and Ijebu forces set a blockade to cut Ibadan off from the supplies from the British in Lagos. Ibadan retaliated by blockading Ijaye from food supplies.

The British merchants in Lagos lobbied the Remos of Sagamu and the Ikorodus to smuggle ammunition from Lagos to Ibadan. The support Ibadan received from the British made her brought the Ijayes on their knees in 1862 following Kurunmi’s death in 1851.

The cause of his death is still unknown, but however, it is believed he committed suicide. Other towns supporting Ijaye retreated immediately.

The Egbas were displeased with the actions of the Remos and Ikorodus and sought to punish them, but the British army prevented this by defeating the Egba army.

The Egbas avenged this in 1867 by expelling all British missionaries in Egbaland and burned the printing house of Iwe Irohin, the first newspaper in Nigeria by Rev. Henry Townsend.

The Ijebus also punished the British by not allowing any British nationals to enter Ijebuland. This was the foundation of the Battle of Imagbon (1892) also known as the 1892 Ijebu expedition"
