I thought Ibo always support the fulani in Ilorin....are they not aware Ibo is their friend?

The reality is only a Christain governor can liberate kwara
As long as Muslims continue to rule kwara not much will change

David bamigboye was a Christain hence had 0 affiliation with any yeye emir

Jebba was never part of Ilorin Emirate the Town's in Moro Local Govt were founded by Old Oyo Warlords and their followers after the Collapse of Old Oyo. It was Politics that put Moro under Ilorin Emirate. Jebba has an Oba that was even recognised by the British as far back as 1913.

The Royal Niger Company Army that finally overthrew the Balogun Yoruba of Ilorin who was the ruler of Ilorin town in 1897 after the Gambari Emir had been successfully deposed by his Yoruba Chief's was based at Jebba. Ilorin Emirate never conquered Jebba Area. It is Politics that put the administration of Moro LG under Ilorin.

The people of Moro Local Govt are ethnic Oyo and they were part of the Ekiti Kwara Area who were mainly Christians until Politics reclassified them and put them under Ilorin Emirate .
Ilorin never ruled them . The same happened at Lokoja the Fulani never conquered it but it was still Carved into the Northern Region .
Also Southern Kaduna at a time was put under Zaria Emirate which never conquered them.
In fact some Moro Local Government towns were even founded by the Ijaiye Warlords when they fell out of Favour with Kurunmi their King .

When the Ibadan Army defeated the Fulani Jihad at Osogbo in 1840 the Fulani Army was pursued all the Way to River Niger which they all plunged into in their despiration to Escape . It was at the shores of the River Niger that the Ibadan Army's courage failed them and they decided not to cross over because they didn't know what to expect on the other side but they still had a camp in the Area and later on the Oyo people settled in Towns all the way to Mokwa in Niger State until they later moved back across river Niger again to the Jebba Area for safety after the Emir of Kotangora started threatening them.

It was when the Ibadan Army were busy fighting the Kiriji wars with the Ekiti Ijebu, Egba, Ijesha that the Ilorins quietly sneaked back into Ilorin town again.


The British colonial Govt knew all this when it recognised the Oba of Jebba in 1913.

Jebba was never part of Ilorin Emirate so what is their problem?

Seerade029:
Yeah you're correct.
But the first one tried it.
He was denied 2nd term and was killed.

Seerade029:
Actually the emir of ilorin is not wise.
Why doesn't want the jebba people to raise their traditional status

If not because of Jebba.
The whole kwara state including offa will automatically be under the Fulanis.

I see revolution in ilorin in the nearest years.
If the governor is able to secure 2nd term, he should just create another palace with an Oba in ilorin.
If the emir doesn't wanna leave him title.

Move Moro out of Ilorin Emirate, group begs Kwara govt

Tunde Oyekola

Elders of Moro Local Government Area of Kwara State have asked to quit the Ilorin Emirate Council.

Reacting to a statement attributed to the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, in which he allegedly cautioned Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq against the elevation of the Ohoro of Shao and Oba of Jebba as traditional chiefs, the Moro Concerned Elders Movement told the government to ignore the warning.

The Ilorin Emirate Council in a statement by the Magaji Nda of Ilorin, Alhaji Woru Mohammed, on May 8 cautioned the state government against acceding to the request for the elevation of the traditional chiefs.

The statement read, “The council reminded the government of the fact that all traditional chiefs in the five local government areas (Ilorin West, Ilorin East, Ilorin South, Asa and Moro) that make up the Ilorin Emirate are lesser chiefs under the Emir of Ilorin.

“Unless the 1999 Constitution is amended, all 774 local governments including Moro shall continue to remain where they are despite their political religion and tribal differences.”

However, MOCEM in a statement by Alhaji Isiaka Jimoh (President), Dr Bolaji Afolabi (General Secretary) and Chief Sunday Oyebiyi (Director of Publicity) said, “We hereby plead with the dynamic government of Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq to totally ignore the “caution” of the Ilorin Emirate Council through Saliu Mohammed, because it is anti-people and unconstitutional.”

They appealed to the government “to implement immediately its White Paper of December 17, 1987 which abolishes the appointment of District Heads for the Moro LGA from Ilorin and which henceforth directs that such appointments be made from among the indigenes of local government area.

“Immediate implementation of the various court judgments in favour of Moro LGA on the traditional Institution such as the judgments on suit No KWS/231/894 of 22/10/1997 delivered by Justice Afolabi Ibiwoye as well as that of Justice Oluyemisi Ajayi.”

“Immediate remedy to the degrading injustice done to Moro LGA by first restoring the Ohoro of Shao and Oba of Jebba to their pre-1984 status and subsequent elevation to first class status to meet up with their counterparts like Olusin of Isin, Olupako of Share, Olosi of Osi etc, while the Moro Local Government Traditional Council should be created to be made up of our Traditional rulers like other parts of Kwara State.”

Malcolm X archived all this for them by declaring blacks dominated area Authonomus, he even went as far as registering the Autonomy with the Organization of African unity presently know as African Union, what did they do after Malcolm X was killed guess what they Abandoned everything he did for them and move with Martin Luther King Jr inwhich they settled down and start leaving the dream yes we will work and stand as equal with white, leave together with white by integration, integration by leaving with and loving / intermarrying whites also making love to white girls with their over hype abnormal 19 inches big black dic which makes some of them behave like they have archived something in life inwhich they will now have Half Caste babies every where.

So they shouldn't tell me that they no longer want or that they are tired of Martin Luther King Jr dream, well they should continue Martin it to the end no need to run away.

I wrote that to bring people's attention to the ridiculously stupidity of this particular demand being demanded by the so called NFAC that a land in Africa should be given to them the AA of USA, such has already been done for them eg Liberia and Sierra Leone.

What exactly did they do with the country :

1)By dominating the entire affairs of the country as if they are some kind of nobility(First Class citizens)


2) They refuse accept the natives by treating them like they are worst than second class citizen

3) They refuse to reach a common ground with the natives of Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Well we all know how the whole thing ended up, Liberia and Sierra Leone turn out to be a worse and worse, never getting better. Another example all those Caribbean Countries, the AA(African American) of this Caribbean regional areas of American Continent where once a slave but they fought and demanded for their freedom and independence inwhich the white colonial masters allowed or accepted their independent and also allowed or gave them land's to rule as their independent Country inwhich the AA of the Caribbean's are all over the Island's that made up the Caribbean, well the Caribbean's is another evidence of Land given to them by white colonial masters so the AA of USA also know as(African Americans of USA) should go over there (the Caribbean) and join their brother's and sisters over there, no need to come over to Africa we already have enough issues here in Africa even if the Land is given to them in Africa it will be Liberia and Sierra Leone all over again.

You know most of them have lost their senses. African American have been fighting for survival for decades and still fighting..... most of the gains have been shared largely with African immigrants. Don't be surprised that most of them (Nigerian trump supporters) would pick their racist trump over African American, because they're stupid by nature

Heavensent01:
do you know how Northern is at the forefront of fighting for their people's right?


Tinubu is part of this incumbent party whether he's elected or not and his influence to protect the rights of his people cannot be trace elsewhere being a recognized stakeholders in this useless govt


you people just need someone that will break points to you like A for apple...I don't have time for those nonsense


I've made my opinion and my stand on the useless Tinubu and other ineffective Yoruba leaders stand. nonsense

letu:
NFAC well come to Nigeria the Yoruba's are ready to give NFAC what they want a land, within the Yoruba speaking area of Nigeria eg because according to the Yoruba's here in Nairaland the Yoruba's are very welcoming and accommodating / cheerful givers well with this, the Yoruba's or We the Yoruba's are willing to surrender or give you NFAC any of the Yoruba's State in Nigeria just like the way the accepted the situation for their HAUSA FULANI SOKOTO CALIPHATE when it comes to Yoruba land in present day Kwarra State in Nigeria .

Olominira:
It's possible. Unfortunately, US don't have a thinking leader at the moment

NFAC, the masked, armed black militia that recently marched through a park in Georgia, deems violence and killing an acceptable response to oppression. Their end goal is to break away from the US as their own black-only nation.
The NFAC (Not F*cking Around Coalition) grabbed plenty of attention on social media with a high-profile public debut on July 4. The sight of an all-black militia, clutching rifles and handguns, marching in the heartland of the Ku Klux Klan at Stone Mountain caused plenty of ripples.

But very little is known about them, despite a frenzy of speculation. It’s not even clear when they were created or how many of them there are.
So to make their intentions clear, NFAC founder and leader Grand Master Jay (real name John Fitzgerald Johnson) spoke exclusively to RT.

There’s a misconception that we’re a terrorist group and want to kill white people.

“We are here to protect the black community, as that’s who is under attack. Nobody is protecting black children, men and women in America. What necessitated the creation of NFAC was the need to address a rising tide of police brutality, of racial brutality, of unfairness in the judicial system,” he said.

“Most of us like me are ex-miliitary, we’re not young people on the block, we’re voters, we’re your responsible guys, we’re the guys with the good jobs.”

Every black person a ‘political prisoner’
While seeing themselves as protectors, Jay has a clear aim of what he wants to achieve – and he’s not playing it small.

He feels that black people need to be split from the rest of the US.

So he says he, and others, are filing an order of liberation with the International Court of Justice.

He explained: “I want them to declare every black person who is a descendent of the Portuguese slave trade a political prisoner of the United States. And to sanction the United States to do one of two things. The first is give us our own land here, so we can go in, set up our own government and the whole nine yards.”

Some have speculated that Jay is demanding the states of Texas as this land, but he only used the Lone Star state as an example. The key is to be given land no longer controlled by the White House.

The other option is more radical, which most media have refused to publish.

Jay revealed: “It's a glaring fact that mainstream media in the United States has completely ignored the NFAC. ABC News tried to do an interview with me but found the information too scary, so they buried the story as a history piece about Stone Mountain.”

The mainstream media will not report on us, as images of organized black folks with guns would send shivers down the spine of the racist core of America.

Black-only exodus to Africa
“My other aim is for an exodus to Africa, to establish our destiny and build our own nation – and get a seat at the UN like everybody else. Forty-five million of us is a nation within a nation, so we can take ourselves to a place where two countries friendly to us are willing to carve out some land.

That would be in Africa, as it's where we come from, where we have greater numbers, where resources are and I already have relationships with some of the rulers of those countries.

Hypothetically, I want to get an area of about 100 miles on each side, declare it a sovereign zone and build an infrastructure.”

The exodus would only include black people. The NFAC only allow black members, and Jay doesn’t feel this should be a shocking admission.

“Every other entity has their own, we’re the only people on the planet who don’t,” he said.


“If something happens to a Chinese person in America, China gets upset. If it’s British person, the Queen has something to say about it. The color black is not a country, so if something happens to a black person in America, nobody gets upset.”

The riots that broke out after the latest resonant police killing of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, is apparently not what he has in mind. He wants to take things global.

“We have no identity, they call us African Americans but tell me, where in Africa? There are 55 countries in Africa.”

If we have our own country, then if something happens in America, we can go to the UN and say ‘that’s a violation.’

Those with a single black parent could be included but would be investigated by the NFAC along with their “pattern of behaviour.”

'BLM doesn’t believe in violence. We do'
NFAC hasn’t been spawned by the Black Lives Matter movement. Jay was part of BLM several years ago but grew frustrated by their direction. He feels a more authoritarian approach is the only way forward.

“Black Lives Matter does not represent the sentiments of the black community.We have distanced ourselves from them completely,” Jay admitted.

“BLM doesn’t believe in violence, we do. We chose America’s Independence Day to send that message as we were slaves when that happened, we were not members of this country.

We tried to be here for 247 years, we had reconstruction and they burned our towns down, we had Jim Crow when they set dogs on us and told us we couldn’t sit next to them – we tried that with affirmative action and they rolled that back.

It's obvious they don’t want us here.”

NFAC's willingness to kill could be why they are shunned by the more mainstream activists. But Jay feels justified as he claims there have been 457 controversial killings since the 2014 police shooting of 18-year-old black man Michael Brown.

“If anybody in our group has a personal agenda and just wants to shoot some people, then we’re not the group for them,” he says, before calmly explaining the rules of engagement:

But on July 4 before we went to the park my orders were, kill them – not shoot or wound them, kill them.

“That was the safety briefing. I told them we were not to initiate anything but if they attack us, then everyone out here will kill everyone in sight. We don't want to hear your excuses anymore, we don’t want to hear let’s talk or wait for the grand jury.”

Along with the Stone Mountain march, the NFAC held a simultaneous event in Phoenix’s Escobar Park. Since then, Jay claims he’s been flooded by contacts globally and now has NFAC chapters internationally.

However, members’ identities will remain anonymous.

“There's a vetting process, we inspect them and then they get sworn into the NFAC,” he said.

“We are also a coalition so some existing organizations want to be a part of us too, so we vet their members too.

"We learned our lessons from types of infiltration methodologies.That’s why we’re so secretive about our numbers, that’s why you cannot find out where we train, that’s why we are not as open to giving up the details.”

The only name or face that is known is mine. I speak, no one else does.

Done with saving America
Back in 2016, Jay ran for president but felt his campaign was purposely sidelined. He regards 2020 contender Kanye as “a political joke” but did reveal some have urged him to run again.

“Since Kanye’s announcement, I’ve received phone calls saying ‘you do know if you run for the presidency right now, you would win hands down,’” Jay said.

“But my mission is not to save America, I tried that and I found out that big money and the media can be bought to block out good candidates. I will not go down that road again.

“My goal is much loftier than that, not only to facilitate the exodus of the black nation here in America but the implementation of what we would call the United State of Africa.”

Since July 4, Jay feels the NFAC had already made a clear difference.


Things in his view have calmed down. “They got the message, there hasn’t been one lynching or police involved shooting since and a wave of unity has swept the black community and we’re seeing the judicial system trying to prosecute the cases.”

While the NFAC is only for blacks, he does encourage other races to support their cause.

Malcolm X said it best, you can help us, but you can’t join us.

“Unless we are by ourselves and until we learn to love ourselves, we can’t love another people. When a people are denied knowledge of their culture and history of self, they have nothing to be proud of.

“Did you see how proud they felt when they saw the movie ‘Black Panther’ which is make believe? Black people are yearning to belong to something, we have got to give them something to belong to. I would rather give my life for something noble like the liberation of my people, rather than to waste it staying alive being a weakling.”

“And what you’ll find is, I’m not alone.”

Very true!
A major problem is FAYEMI, he is getting over ambitious and is ready to collude with the enemies, to achieve his Vice Presidential Ambitions, but he will fail like 202 JAMB.
Fayemi is very untrustworthy and Yorubas should be wary of him, he is an enemy within

The problem of Tinubu is GREED and he is willing to sell the Yoruba nation, for hi sown personal aggrandisement, knowing he can NEVER be put on the Presidential ballot (such ticket will be Dead On Arrival) but he wants to stoke the fire hot enough to give himself prime position to aks for payback in terms of contracts and concessions.
It was Tinubu that is undermining every other "shinning star" from Yoruba land, in Abuja Politics.
From Fashola, to V.P Osinbajo, once Tinubu sees that the profile of that SW Politician is rising in a way that makes them feasible for a Presidential ticket, he begins to undermine them. He wants everyone in the SW to be under his control, that will not happen.

Baba Akande is not much of a problem, he is just concerned about growing his own influence within the APC and the South West but not in the agressive manner of Tinubu and Fayemi, the two crooks of the South West.


BTW, Afeni- Febi is just the Yoruba Branch of the PDP, they dont speak for the whole South West and they are a bunch of Cash-and-Carry Politicians, Anywhere-Belle-Face people.

E ye tan ara yin, Tinubu's only crime is refusing to go into oblivion with AD.
Tinubu sees into the future but they don't, we are all going to be in this country to ba da Jo won l'owo tan.
They joined outsiders to frustrate Awolowo, they later went to cry and beg for forgiveness at his grave.
I seriously hope they won't end up going to cry and beg for forgiveness at Tinubu's grave as well.
What less crabs.

FrLukas:
I know all these.

Trust me there are people who have the brainpower to facilitate a clean, hassle-free break away of the Yorubas only if the elders would ask.

After all, ọmọdé gbọ́n, àgbà gbọ́n la fi dá ilẹ̀ Ifè.

Consultations should go on underground.

Let the country continue to wallow in decadence while we plan our exit.

Whoever is benefiting from this unholy union should prepare to commit suicide when we finally leave.

We want dedicate the entire time in our lives with the highest level of all manner of media propaganda making sure that Igbos does not achieve their Biafra, even if Osibanjo is killed by Fulani cabals and Tinubu humiliated and given Abiola treatment and 2023 wished away, as long as Igbos did not achieve Biafra we're ready to remain slaves forever

Intact u took d words out of my mouth!
The likes of d author of d article fails to realise that yorubaland is not 'homogeneous' so to speak. There are enemies within who live amongst d Yorubas but seek her downfall.

Whilst d author raised salient issues esp as it concerns BAT, extreme care must be taken not to throw d baby away with d bath water, hence playing into d hands of (d enemies within) who hate him out of envy for his political dexterity and not that politicians in their own enclaves are any holier than him.

The author shd realise dt politics of today has outgrown what it used to be.
If he, in d guise of being puritanical, brings down BAT or any shining light of d yoruba nation, d hawks amongst us will be too glad to supply him with wood and petrol to finish the job.

What yoruba leaders need to do is to close ranks and forge a better path for a greater Yoruba nation.

The link you provided was a biased one you should educate yourself with the link I sent you sir.

And as for every other thing you said I didn’t draw any argument to your claim so don’t bring one, Delta state has already been ahead of Edo state in terms of development, we are one and you can’t create a war with your new argument you are imposing on me between both states, we are more united and share similar culture and tradition than you can imagine

edoboy74:
It’s now you know it’s a free world yeah? I thought you where ranting with your baseless link, you no fit talk now, abeg shift.

Abeg we don’t have anything in common with the Yorubas, you guys are find of stealing our culture that is why you see things like that. Just because Delta have a lot of Igbo immigrants via nearness of states and boundaries they are already claiming Delta to be Igbo and we have delta Igbo meanwhile, Edo state and Delta where one until modern day civilisation until it was formally referred to as BEN-DEL and now Benin and Delta, how come the entire bini and delta are not Yorubas? Bros go and sleep you need it

Please tell your Yoruba kings, clans and people to stay clear away from Edo & benin stop the controversies and you guys should go make credible research about your history.

You stand to gain nothing hating Yoruba people at large, if you have a problem with someone, face him or her. Unnecessary hate would take you nowhere. So calm down!

If any Yoruba person make you insecure, please do you own back to the person!

And Yoruba are not interested in Edo being part of Oduduwa Republic! Yoruba and Bini people, not Edo are cousins, so there is nothing your hate can do about that!
