What is this one saying, yet aki and pawpaw ate good example of stunted growth. Guess the tribe they are from

Actually Yoruba was already in use before Amed Baba put it into writing complaining he should not be captured as a slave because he was a Muslim. Only YORUBA that stuck to their religion and others should be captured for being nonbelievers of Muslim God.

But Yoruba named most of the ethnic groups in Nigeria. Fulani is Yoruba nomenclature, their name varies from Fulbe to others depending on their location.

Tapa is also Yoruba word just as many others looking for greener pastures in Yoruba name.

Ibo is Yoruba word and many Easterners prefer it to Igbo. Indeed, Igbo corrected Yoruba many times that it is IGBO not IBO. Nevertheless Yoruba have other names Igbo did not like. No need to mention them.

Hausa is also a Yoruba word for a group of people Yoruba see as the same even when they refer to themselves as Magawazu, Burno, Gambari etc.

So Yoruba say- Igbonle ni Mula, Hausa ni Hausa nje.

The reason is obvious. Most Nigerians and Africans coming to Nigeria gravitate to the WEST up to the present day.

So Yoruba have names for those coming from Togo, Ghana all the way to Liberia.

Note, Lagosians would name others anything, even their own Yoruba. But they call many others the same name their Yoruba kin call them. So do not take Lagosians seriously. They are rascals that believe the world starts and end in Lagos like New Yorkers.

Corruption has tamed them. Indeed, tamed all
Nigerians, the giant of WHERE?

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

Onijagidijagan:
what led to the war was greediness, selfishness by Igbo people who wanted to dominate Nigerians. Hausas on the other were victims of many circumstances caused by d Igbo who thinks they are not smart.

Masters and Slaves clash.
Igbos on one side watching and Shaking their heads.

Peace Corp is not known to Nigerian Law and cannot use the uniform in carrying out functions that Presidential assent has not conferred on it. The Policeman did his job. I would commend him if I was his boss

Thetruthsayer10:
it was not written or said anywhere that the Amazon defeated Yoruba if there was u would have posted it and it’s only village illiterate ipob that says it. The pix u posted was fake coz as of 1840 nothing was called Yoruba except the oyo people and Dahomey didn’t fight them they only fight egba people in Abeokuta in 1851 to 1864 not 1840 and they were defeated twice any real source will tell u that both from local and international. If there is any source that the Amazon defeated Yoruba post it here on nairaland

Until the south decides to grab the bull by its horns, we will continue to serve the interest of power grabbing mongers whose only hold on power is through violence.

One Fon Dahomey woman is equal to 900,000 Igbo men but they were defeated 4 times by only Egba(Yoruba) people:
Read it with your bloodshot eyes,nsibidi..



For the most part, too, the enlarged female corps enjoyed considerable success in Gezo’s endless wars, specializing in pre-dawn attacks on unsuspecting enemy villages. It was only when they were thrown against the Egba capital, Abeokuta, that they tasted defeat. Two furious assaults on the town, in 1851....

It's raining hard on the "commander in chief" that does not know.

When asked about his age...I don't know.

Where is your certificate? I don't know.

Where is the IGP? I don't know.

Who brought Maina back? I don't know.

They looted PTF funds under your watch. I don't know.


All he knows is that He loves the perks of office and will do everything possible to continue to enjoy it.

maclatunji:
A typical example of how not to be a good citizen. Turning a general issue into a tribal one.
