Yes it is. We know you feel inferior, but whites can see the nation changing before their eyes, and are very disturbed, as their unearned privileges are slowly stripped away, and a more level playing field emerges.

And so violence is the answer?

Every (native) part of the country feel 'they' are better off than the others. There are so many things wrong with our psyche.

We are unable to hold our immediate leaders responsible for their failures within their local jurisdiction but blame the centre for every perceived and real grief.

What happened to unity?!hsygts h Esthbey

But there are no forced marriages! Let the FG consider the SNC they- and a lot other ethnicities- seek. A referendum may hold a shocker for most of these tribal warmongers.

While this horse-trading is on, one thing is sure: there shall be innocent victims!
it's a spiritual thing. our psyche just cannot tolerate Nigeria. .. the whole system drives the people insane

this is understandable as we were all forced into Nigeria in the first place
we need to just make things right and disintegrate this country

mandarin:
Am completely impressed by @Macof. I strongly believe the ancient Ife is to the East of today's Yoruba country. The Oyo version of Yoruba history is the most recent but @Macof, is there a link between Ooni of Ife and Ooni belonging to the Igala?

The aborigines of Ife were not Igbo people of today's Nigeria but Ugbo people which would stand for some in the present East of Yorubaland. It will be of interest to explore the historical versions of Yoruba in diaspora especially Brazil, Cuba and Trinidad together with the cultural versions to get semblance of what may look like true stories. Macof over to you.
I agree with you on that ancient Yorubas were from the east... I like to think of igalaland or Akokoland as a starting point of our journey to Ife. something disastrous must have made the Yoruba ancestors flee to later be known as ife ooyelagbo
just that nothing concrete to back this assertion

I'm not familiar with Ooni belonging to the igala. .. I know igalas have an ife...there's another ife in okunland but Ooni in Igalahuh


I don't think yoruba descendants in Brazil, Cuba or anywhere outside the geographical "Yorubaland" have much to offer regarding yoruba history.... we should advocate for yoruba sons and daughters to embrace traditionalism and initiation into our traditional institutions. ..much knowledge lays there. in Brazil and the rest, there's too much syncretism, we can only take their versions with much skepticism

1 & 2. Adimu (-la) was a name for Oduduwa who engaged in wrestle with Obatala & succeeded in winning not only the wrestle battle but power & wealth. Oduduwa ti ibi adimu la - hence, adimula.

There was no slave or slave woman in Ife history of Oduduwa period, this is Oyo's version to discredit the throne. The closest tale to that of slave woman & slave child was Orunto who had 4 children who now make up the Obalufe compound. The Obalufe apart from acting as king of Ife also performs spiritual functions for the Ooni.

The Adimu who sent Odede to Bini was Oduduwa who was still on the throne but passed before Odede could return.

4. There was never an Okanbi, Oduduwa had too many wives & too many children. His first child (not daughter) was Olowu's mother (Obatala's good will wife). Owa ilesa & Oranmiyan were blood siblings from one Mother - this shows there was never an Okanbi.

5. Alayemore left after a brutal war that forever quelled or killed Obatala's people attempt at the throne ever again.
ah! we are learning everyday. .. this is why it's good to discuss history

what would you say is the etymology of "Adimu"? with what you've stated above i believe you are trying to say Adimu has to do with wrestling and hold on power

grin remember I once made mention of Obatala being Olowu's father?

For those of us who finds it difficult to understand the superiority of the Oba of Benin over the Ooni of Ife, please meditate on the above. That an older Ooni vacated his exalted seat for a visiting Oba speaks volume. In africa tradition it is the young that stands up for his elder to sit. For the Oba to accept that abnormality means the Benin monarch is superior to the Ooni.

waoh! sir don't ridicule yourself like this. ..

lemme sum it all up for you. ... Ifa is a Yoruba thing, although our non yoruba neighbors like Edo, Igbo, Fon, Ewe have less popular Ifa-like style of divination and knowledge keeping. You cannot find any historic connection between Ifa and Quran or Bible. .. no way.

my question is, what is the person saying which has never happened before?

Dunno why he or she was waving it like some sort of trophy, ei, your pastor will soon turn atheist.

What rubbish. I think it's nairaland which gives people some grandiose delusions and makes them jump up at every thing as if they were just hearing it for the first time.

Most of the atheists they follow, with big websites, banners and all that, were pastors at some point in time, do they think they are the only ones with the info? huh

We all have google nah, abi some computers no get google ni? huh

Certain nairalanders, every few months, take it upon themselves to open threads saying they have turned atheist, and so what? huh

The latest one opened thread to say he used to be a pastor and is now an atheist, I went through his post history and found mostly smut there, does it need a soothsayer to tell you the fellow is looking for who to fool.

Not to mention he kept dropping place names and various names which he probably got from spying on people's computers or plain gossip sharing, and trying to pass off the info as his personal own.

na today?

Yes he delievered. You should ask me why I said he delivered.

- In the Chatham address, he identify Boko Haram and Niger militant as the Security problems he was going to tackle. So base on his statement and promise, he has delivered.

- Herdsmen and Farmer is not a national security issue. The state government is in place to look into it. You dont expect Buhari to close in into every tribal crisis. He did not come in when locals in Edo state were killing themselves because the Governor was alive to his responsibility. Afterall, they earn security vote and should invst that in their respctive state. So Mr, call your Governor, the Chief security officer of your state and not inoocent Buhari that got vital issue to tackle
grin grin grin so if a president and his party dont identify certain problems as issues to be treated under their administration, we shouldn't expect any actions taken to eliminate such problems. ..cus they weren't part of the issues addressed during campaigns?

lemme ask you. ..was boko haram part of the issues discussed by GEJ when he was running in 2011? why hold boko haram against GEJ if we can't hold the fulani menace against the daura president?



boko haram is not a national problem too then, we should hold shettima responsible for the atrocities committed by boko haram in Bono...which includes abduction of the chibok girls. .. We should have held northern governors responsible for boko haram and not FG under GEJ


you seem to forget that There's no state police in Nigeria. ..the FG controls all Police affairs not the Governor

so we blame the FG for security challenges not State governments

not a myth. ..just conclusions based on recently noticed relics and reduced secrecy. Oduduwa is native to Yorubaland not middle east.


ibos are just a lost bunch. .. I blame religious Fanatism. .. just like some Muslims like to connect to the Arabs, religious Christians can deny their own father for the Jews

The Fulani arrived Nigeria much later than other tribes, The Hausas also immigrated into Nigeria from east Africa, the Yoruba Oduduwa also immigrated from the middle east or from heavens depending on which myth you consider, the Ibos like tracing their ancestry to Jews, thus all the major Nigerian languages are not Indigeneous to Nigeria.
Yoruba, Edo, Igbo...I will include Igala and Idoma originated in Nigeria, around the Niger-Benue confluence. ... Ijaws are also indigenous to Nigeria

Failed promises you say?

Buhari sworn to rule as the president of Nigeria for four years. He still has three years to prove you wrong. So I am not pained but having patience that he will succeed in his promises.

During the campaign period, Buhari made three promises only. Security, Corruption and economy. If you have the gray matter in your head, you will understand that within a year he has delivered in term of Security. He is battling now with corruption and doing his best on economy.

The security critical matter when he was campaigning is Boko Haram. He has decapitalized boko Haram, he has turned them to cowards and ragtard. He destroyed their supply line. He destoryed their base. Retrieved back our lost territory. IDPs are today returning home. Lot of people are moving into the north east for business. My Aboki will this week return home (something he cannot do when IB was on the seat). And you know what, the world is celebrating him for fighting Boko Haram to standstill. That is an achievement and he has delivered his promise on Security.

On Corruption, he is fighting that too. Suddenly, Fasheun is blabbing for eating Yam from NSA. Dasuki is remand, Dokpesi, Metuh and lot others are there. I think you are bitter toward Buhari because your source of living thru corruption is blocked.

So dear, Buhari has not disappoint me. He has brought smile to my face. My friends from the North can now return home. . .I love seeing him happy after living homeless in tears for years under IB.

a great leader with vision and an active plan for his country doesn't need four years to start work. .. in one year of GEJ we saw better than what we are seeing under buhari. .. yes even within the removal of subsidy saga. ...I'm not saying GEJ is a model leader but so far Buhari is 10x more clueless than the clueless Jonathan

Nigeria was already winning the war against boko haram before GEJ handed over to Buhari. if not for GEJ trust in France and USA the war would have been on our side long before it did. ..
let's not forget buhari is among those to be blamed for the boko haram terrorism.

when GEJ took immediate action against boko haram, the Daura President spoke against it saying the FG was killing northerners by attacking boko haram, he among other northern elites called for amnesty for boko haram referencing the amnesty given to Niger-delta militants who were fighting for their right. ..what are boko haram fighting for? when called to represent Nigeria in amnesty talks he was nowhere to be found. .. that is a patriotic Nigerian who hates violence and terrorism grin

This is the folykaze you are calling out.

I have always know you as a tribal bigot and hegemoniac but never knew this has gotten deep into your head. You lie and blackmail me all around for no reason because I do not support your Afenifere and PDP agenda. Can you be this dubious?

I have never for once supported the rampage killing and unrest by the herdmens. However, I will never join bands of Haters like you in creating ethnical divides. This is because;

- Herdmens are not perculiarly Fulanis. There are lot of herdmens who are Yorubas, Igala, Ibibio Tiv and Nupe. I have meet with herdmens in Ekiti and Ijebu who are Yoruba like you are. Just because some herdmen had issue with some farmers, that does not mean we should tag every herdmens as Fulanis.

- Disagreement between Farmers and Herdmen did not start today. I see no reason why you lots are capitalising on it to blackmail the president just because your IB lost to him.

- Yorubas are known as Ritualist. Soka is here, money ritual is there. Human flesh are been sold by busniessmen. Why is the media not tagging those caught in the act Yoruba ritualist? Why is fulani fussed into herdmen if there is no polical undertone in here?



I have not for once insulted Yoruba people. I only call you and your fellow by what you are; Onijekuje, Ole, Akotileta and Alanilari. You were on the forefront shouting marginalization throught the last tenure. You all saw how South west was sidelined and never developed. The bitumen in Ondo was not approved for exploration by IB for five years. Lagos-Ibadan expressway was abandoned. There was zero presence of federal development in the land but you greedy thief took another turn after receiving bribe. Falae took his, Fasheun took his, Fawehin took his. You thief sold your pride because of money. I think the 100million given to Fasheun has turned South west to London. You are supporter of thief hence you are a thief too. Ole!

For your info, I am more Yoruba than you are. I was a member of OPC and have worked for the security of my people in many occassions. I became a member since 2005. I opted out when I realised OPC is money bag, thug of politicians and bomboy of some rich men because I will never be a toool or work against what I believe in.

I was not the only Yoruba man who voted for Buhari. More than a million Yoruba people voted for him. He led in South west because we believed in him. I am not expecting a magic from him but very hopeful that change will come. The person that will eat honey from the rock will not bother about the axe.

Security crisis can not be magically curb but take a long, enduring span before it can be nipped. Boko Haram was there for years when your dundi did nothing. Buhari put everything under control. . .The governors too should get into action. They are the Chief security officer of there state. They are earning large from security vote and should invest that into security of their state. Ambode did it, Mimiko did it. Amosun and Ajimobi did it.
