So Portharcourt not being an Ikwerre or Ijaw name automatically makes it non Ikwerre or Ijaw?
Please use that thing

Igbo does not have sense
Cross river
The illiterate doesn't know biafra is not an Igbo word but all the 40m igbos are claiming Biafra

Ilorin is Yoruba
Saraki isn't

realjoker:
I do underestimate his stupidity at first.

He is a confirmed cynic. Saying Yoruba Muslims or Ilorin Muslims are loyal to Sokoto caliphate says much about him being a dumbhead. His entire state is a war zone, many places in war torn Borno are 100% safer than his failed state.

As if they don't have jos Muslims

Nowenuse:
Can you pls explain what you mean by 60% of my state is dead?

Fulanis are the 2nd or 3rd largest tribe in Taraba state. So, they have lots of villages, towns, communities and even dominate LGAs there, unlike in Plateau state where they live nomadic lifestyles like in the south. So, Taraba tribes know where to find the fulanis easily to treat their fvck up.
Besides, as i said, there are many towns and even entire LGAs in Plateau state that you cannot build a mosque, even you as a yoruba muslim cannot stay let alone Hausas, infact i cannot guarantee you safe passage travelling across those places as a muslim.

Why won't Saraki stop it? Is he not a fulani descendant? The most influential families and people from Ilorin are of fulani descent. They and the other Hausa-asslicking yoruba muslim fanatics of Ilorin will always be there to secure the status quo.
Please you guys should stop sitting under your rusty brown roofs in Ibadan, Ogbomosho & Osogbo talking about Ilorin, go there and see the reality on ground. Most yoruba muslim indigenes there are very loyal and eager to do the bidding of the Sokoto caliphate. If they were here, they would instantly deny you guys.

i won't join issue with tribe that's not up to 1m go and rescue your civilisation
All those brown roof towns are way wealthier and more advanced than the entire jos
If it's not bomb it's herdsman
Yoruba Muslims are great people who have their own leader in Ibadan
Unlike jos that has both Muslim and Christain and still lick the ass of sultan the last time I checked your members of arewa and should Nigeria split you have no where else to go

Lol
Seems you have forgotten Gowon that led civil war is from your state and you have audacity to say someone' supports war

Go and read your history before commenting

SoNature:
Stop fooling yourself - Lagos is (and will always be) a Yoruba land. The problem with some of you is that you don't read history.

Go, grab a Biafran war book to learn how the Igbos were massacred in Lagos immediately the war broke out.

I suppose these ignorant ones saying that Lagos is a no man's land today will suffer the same fate if a civil war breaks out.

Go and develop your state because Lagos is a Yoruba land - Nnamdi Kanu, 2015.

Why are you honouring him with such response seems you have forgotten onitsha is no mans lamd

gsmphoneseller:
Hopeless bigot.....

Lagos is worse than anything I've ever seen before ....

People are using Canoe on the roads of Lagos since yesterday..... So why cursing others?


The entire Island of Lagos is extremely flooded as all the so called drainage is not working.

But lagos won't lose its land
Water will dry
And not an inch will be lost
Can't say the same about Biafra where 2 days of rain as wiped out most of land

Nowenuse:
Hahahaha, since you were listing all the years where Ilorin yorubas bleeped the Emir up, i honestly thought i would see a time like 1965, 1977, 1983 or any post- independence period.
We all know that Hausa-fulanis/northerners got their greatest power after independence when the British handed over rulership to them and the grip was further strengthened post civil war.

Let the Ilorin yorubas or OPC try to fucck the Emir up again please, we are waiting for a post independence episode. So, until then.

Talking about Hausa-fulani fighting over Jos. Have they won it yet? Do they have an ordinary district head there? Yes, we made the mistake of accomodating them in the past just as we accomodated yorubas, Igbos & Bendelites who came en masse during the Tin mining, but rest assured, since we have known who they are. We have placed them where they belong. We no longer share the same neighbourhoods again and they can never acquire any lands again outside their present abodes. There are many other towns in Plateau states where Hausa-fulanis cannot pass on a vehicle, let alone stay. Go and ask how they are marginalized in their quarters.

Did i hear you talk about conflicts? Did Hausas not defeat yorubas in the Mile 2 crisis? What about the Shagamu crisis? They were battling with you guys on your own land which is very far from the north, while back in Kano they slaughtered every yoruba on sight and finished off everything yoruba in Kano. Your people are still in prison for the sake of fighting hausas in Ife (defending their own land). What have you done? We are minority groups who were misplaced by the colonial masters, but you are a majority group being bossed and tossed by your own fellow majority group, is that not a shame?
The Igbos seem to be the only ones who have the guts to challenge Hausa-fulanis without fear, they have once stood their ground in Kano and defeated the hausas on their own soil.

See, i don't want to go into listing instances the numerous times Hausa-fulanis have fuccked yorubas up. I leave that to the Igbo keyboard warriors, with whom you guys always have such debates.

But let me tell you something you don't know cos you talked about Jos crisis. Do you know that in any Jos crisis or any major religious crisis in Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Zaria. Yorubas loose the most?? Why is this so? This is because Yorubas are almost equally divided religiously and another reason i'd say they are cowards.

Igbos and Northern christians instantly take sides against Hausa-fulani muslims whenever crisis starts and Igbos are ready to die to protect their businesses, so we make a good team and chase away every muslim from christian-dominated areas.
Yoruba muslims on the other hand are regarded as fake muslims by Hausas, so, Hausas waste them like no tomorrow and they are usually caught up against both religious divides, to the extent that yoruba muslims will start running to christian areas, because they prefer their fate with christians than against Hausas. Now, by the time you add up yoruba muslim casualty in both Hausa muslim and Christian areas and yoruba christians in muslim areas. The figures are something else.

Nasarawa gwong area of Jos used to be heavily dominated by Yoruba muslims before 2008 crisis, but Hausas chased them all away. The yorubas could not defend themselves, if it was Igbos, such would never have happened. Now, i know you will say ''Jos is not yoruba land, so why should they defend it?''. See, Jos is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Nigeria cos during the Tin minning boom, many yoruba, Igbo, Hausa mine workers and their families were settled on ancestral lands in Jos by the British, so, these lands later ended up to be dominated by non-indigenes (most of whom never left Jos back to their homelands), this is why you find 3rd and even 4th generation yorubas, igbos, hausas, deltans in Jos. Now, igbos lost some of their areas during the civil war when they all left Jos and this was how hausas expanded their own areas more.

No need for me to explain further. Well, if you haven't travel to northern cities, do so and get the shock of your life with the yoruba population you find there.

Look at this link below where your own yoruba leader in Jos confirmed about 156 yorubas that died in the 2010 Jos crisis. Another link i saw somewhere estimated about 400 yorubas to have died in the 2008 crisis.

https://www.nairaland.com/405771/yoruba-lost-156-lives-property

Interesting how you forgot about Hausa being defeated in ife
And how Hausa ran away from Mile 2
Meanwhile 60% of your state is almost dead
Yoruba Muslims are not 2nd class Muslims
And 2002 an attempt was made to take ilorin back but Saraki stopped it

You also forgot about defeat in oyo state in 2003

I understand Taraba has defeated Fulani
What have your people done to defeat Fulani ?

hornyofife:
This the free education Afonja professor who is calling for war in place of self determination...

This is the same professor who campaigned for Buharis as against Jonathan, which has led Nigeria to its present problems.

my problem with these people is,why are they are always worked up when issues about injustices against the igbos and the deltans are brought up at the national discuss.

This is the same man that so hated Jonathan to the extent that you begin to wonder why? The man cant even hide his bigotry and stupidity...afonja are truly the problem of Nigeria.

this is the same mindset that let obasanjo to massacre innocent children and women in odi

One thing i can bet Nigeria is, if the igbos are provoked to a war, Nigeria will not have its way like before and Nigeria will not survive it. This 2017 and not 1967. With more population meaning more foot soldiers, more educated people, a strong and influential diaspora and with the power and era of social media...Nigeria should thread with caution....

In the final analysis, all i can see is jealousy...These buffoons are just jealous of NK, but they can do less because NK has divine support

shame on Afonja intellectuals, they are all cowards. That is why the less educated and qualified keep ruling them and the country keeps going backwards and these intellectual idiots cant challenge or speak out..

Ojukwu is a coward

Osun slaves go back to your brownroof mud hut in Ogbomosho. Stop calling Lagos a no man's land when we know that lagos is owned by Binis and developed with Niger Delta money as former capital.

I'm in my hometown as I speak.

Pls fix all the brown roof in onitsha
We know for a fact Onitsha is know mans land it's owned by the Benin hence obi and not eze

OAUTemitayo:
I wonder.
They so much hate Lagos and yet won't stop trooping in.
Nawao

Pics of where they come from despite not being a coastal area

After all this rain
Our land remains intact
No gully

I don't know if you guys realized this but that map was made with a computer. Therefor that map was made after the creation of computers, therefor not in 1780. Conclusion: the map is fake !
There was never any oyo empire, there was a small oyo kindom which got partially overran by the fulani.
The only empire in the south was the Benin empire. There are actual pre-colonial maps of the Benin empire.
I urge the 419 guys to stop producing fakes, I really don't see the point ! frica is becoming the laughing stock of the world because you guys take great pleasure in trashing you history rather than cherishing it.

Awwww so frustrated

geosegun:
@Nobody; are you not ashamed of twisting facts and histories? Why did you guys have such bitterness and deflated ego, that its so much difficult to accept the truth and move on?

Right from earlier period there have been general acceptance and popularity of the Oyo Empire and ofcourse there is the Benin Kingdom. The Benin Kingdom became relevant due to the civil wars among the Yorubas hence the decline in influence of the Oyo Empire.

Please stop twisting facts and histories for posterity's sake. We know the truth, we may choose to ignore these rants by ethnic bigots and revisionists. Do not join the bandwagon because you are looking for traffic.

I used to think you have scholarstic spirit but alas! I was wrong or would rather say dissapointed that you will stoop so low to join kids and envious history illerates to peddle lies? common!!!

Shior....

Igbo pained cause they have no empire till date

Your civilisation is under threat not by arewa this time both by yourself

18 houses torched in renewed Aguleri, Umuleri war ON JULY 6, 20172:41 AMIN METRO, NEWSCOMMENTS By Vincent Ujumadu NO fewer than 18 houses were torched following a renewed boundary fight between Aguleri and Umuleri, both in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, with the people of Umuleri appealing to Governor Willie Obiano to quickly intervene in the matter before it engulfs the area. It was gathered that what triggered off the latest face-off was land dispute between the two communities, with Umuleri laying claim to the said piece of land. President-General of Umueri community, Chief Pius Okonkwo, and other leaders of the community told reporters, yesterday, in Awka that they were being pushed to the wall, even as they insisted that they did not want another war in the area. He alleged that about a month ago, some youths suspected to be from Aguleri invaded Umuleri and destroyed houses and fences, in addition to inflicting injuries on some people. According to him, the bone of contention was a parcel of land allegedly belonging to Umueri, adding that the attack was against the spirit of an agreement reached in the wake of the infamous war between the two communities from 1999 to 2002 that claimed many lives and called on the state government to implement the recommendations contained in the white paper. He said: “Umuleri people want peace. We do not want to fight wars with our neigbours because we believe that wars are anathema and an ill wind which blows no one any good. “Specifically, Umuleri wants enduring and genuine peace with Aguleri because we have built relationships (personal as well as business and even religious) with Aguleri people over several decades, if not centuries. We cherish these relationships and want to protect them.” “We appeal to the governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano, who hails from Aguleri, to use this opportunity of being at the helm of affairs in our state, to put in place the machinery for achieving genuine peace between Aguleri community and Umueri. “We are also worried that his people are spoiling for war at a time he is facing re-election challenges. “It is our prayer that Aguleri and Umueri should be at peace so that our people responding to the Arewa quit notice and other sad developments in contemporary Nigeria, can run home to take refuge therein if they can no longer put up with the unbearable situation elsewhere.”

Afonja, you will die of bitterness like Awolowlo.

I thought you said it was rat poison looool now its bitterness

Agumbaa:
Please where is NestOil mentioned in the news you posted?

You can't succeed trying to sow a seed of discord.

Nencorde is nest oil

I thought they said they will share equally with niger delta

A group of communities in Nigeria’s Niger River delta demanded a stake in an oil block it said it was promised when Royal Dutch Shell Plc sold its share to a local company six years ago.

The communities in the Gbaramatu district, near the southern oil town of Warri, want 5 percent of a lease owned by Lagos-based Neconde Energy Ltd. and state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corp., according to a statement emailed by the group on Friday.

Neconde “refused to fulfill the 5 percent equity share to the host communities, whose environment has been negatively impacted and devastated by oil activities, destroying our age-long traditional fishing business,” Momotimi Guwor, a spokesman for the communities, said in the statement.

Impoverished groups in Nigeria’s crude-producing south have longstanding grievances that they don’t benefit from the natural resources extracted from the region. Militants regularly attack oil facilities to press their demands for a greater share of the revenue that Africa’s biggest crude producer earns from the fuel. In recent years, Shell, Total SA, Chevron Corp. and Eni SpA have divested from onshore assets in the West African nation to focus more on offshore production.

Neconde denied any deal existed with the communities and said it had met all its obligations. The company owns 45 percent of the block, called Oil Mining Lease 42, while NNPC holds the rest. It produces 10,000 barrels of crude a day, according to Neconde’s website.

“There was no five percent agreement consummated with the host communities as Shell sold its equity shares and we bought them,” Chief Operating Officer Olajide Ishola told reporters in Warri on Friday. “We will engage the communities, discuss and reach a compromise.”

Neconde has until late July to address the demands, the Gbaramatu communities said.

Kogi state was created in 1991..

Was Zik president then?

You folks are so silly with you confussioinist reporting.

You can never talk about the people that assasinated, colonized your state (illorin), locked up your traditional rulers and killed your people over the years..only igbos igbos all the time

The only people that have been killed so far is ibo why azikwe didn't want secession your yet to respond

evilyoruba:
But the write up said, zik and bello, but you left your northern master bello to only curse zik, how diabolical can you afonjas be? Why are you people so afriad of the north?

Idiot bello wanted out of Nigeria
Don't you know why they call azikwe father of Nigeria
Go and read your history
Today your people are suffering from his opposition to anything Yoruba chai

Guseh:
Read how Azikiwe teamed up with Ahmadu Bllo to deprive south west of Lagos, Kabba and Ilorin Province. He actually succeeded with that of Kabba(Okuns) and Ilorin province.


The 1958 Constitutional Conference led to issues that have bedeviled Nigeria till today.
At that time, Nigeria was already a federation of three unequal regions. Chief Obafemi Awolowo of the Action Group wanted the country split into more manageable regions to take care of the fears of the minority ethnic groups.

He wanted four more regions: two in the North, one from the West and one from the East.
He lost on all fronts.

At the last Constitutional Conference in 1959, the Willink Commission was set up to look for ways to allay the fears of the minorities. The call for additional regions by the AG was rejected.


At that time, most Lagosians were in support of the NCNC and the Lagos branch of the party was dominated by the likes of Modupe Johnson and H.O. Davies.
At a point during the debate, Chief Josiah Olawoyin, who was the leader of the yorubaof the North, burst into tears, fearing that his people would be left in the lurch. In the end, the meeting resolved that the West would remain part of Nigeria.


Today the problem has become more complicated.

I am a yoruba man from Kogi state and now is the time to correct the mistake those leaders had made in the past.
I fully support the position of my brothers on this thread:
www.nairaland.com/3902418/restructuring-kogi-yorubas-want-reunion

Our Yoruba brothers and sisters in Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti and Kwara should rise up and support us to achieve this by any means.
Let us solve this problem now and make a happy big family together!
Cc: seun, Okuns(Yorubas in Kogi state), Markfemi2,

I tell igbos all the time na dem first fire salvado at Yoruba but it always comes to bite then back
Why will azikwe oppose such a move
No be the same Awolowo advice seccesion for constitution but in the name of opposing anything Yoruba he said no

Kratos3364:
you sound like someone who hasn't been to illorin. When you get there, Yorubas are at every nook and cranny working, speaking Yoruba language, don't let any ipob youth taunt you about Fulani owning illorin, if at all any tribe wishes to lay claim to illorin, it would be nupe and they CANT because they are minorities there.

i know ilorin is very Yoruba
Some of their Islamic clerics sha

luluman:
Kabba boy, if you now see us as important, welcome.What made you left us in the first place? you don't know where you belong.Stop being a bush boy & ask your kins why una run in the first place.

Why as your narrative suddenly changed
Mumu

johnserek:

Response of the year
I'm Yoruba from edo and I want to join my south west brothers so bad alongside my Kogi and Kwara Yorubas to form one happy big family

luluman:
Why do you teach false alliance ? Okuns claim Okun stands alone & should not be called Yoruba.Go back & ask again if you know any of them.My in laws are Okun.

Did you not read content of thread lol Before saying such

AworiLagosian:
No no no, the Obaship institution in Jebba does not have anything to do with Lugard.
The first Oba Debola Adebara ruled in the mid 1800's whereas Lugard only got to Nigeria in 1912.

So you see the delinkage.

I said this throttle has been spitting super story up and down

Trottle:
You are bereft of any point please retire from this discourse.

Show us evidence nupe founded Jebba - no shoe
Show us evidence of old nupe kings you no show
Pls you just wasted your energy

Trottle:
My stance remain the same, but you should understand the perspective that I'm coming from. Jebba is not a Yoruba town historically. If it is, please explain the etymology of the name "Jebba". Thanks.

Well your stance doesn't change tbt fact jebba has an oba lol

Trottle:
If it is a Yoruba town 100%, how come it had the name "Jebba". Do you mind explaining its etymology?

Pls tell us the meaning of Ede, yagba, Omu Aran, ekiti
