Now you are clutching at straws,aint you?

You brought up the theory of how the people living there before Afonja should be the one to revolt against the Fulanis and not the Yorubas;back it up by proving such people existed.

You suggested it,so prove it that there were non-Yorubas living there before Afonja.
I maintain that the natives there before Afonja were Yorubas - He(Afonja) wasnt the first Aareonakakanfo - if you think otherwise,present your facts and not sentiments. [/s]

SaffronSpice:
[s] I really wish I could repress the urge to reply your post,so that it woun't look like am trying to court your attention.
But I just can't 'cause the bolded is laughable.
You should tell us who these natives are;you cited the example of the Australian Aborigines et al in your other post but remain clueless regarding the identity of the natives you are holding brief for.

A certain group of people might have been living there before it became a millitary outpost of the Oyo Empire;these people were either conquered and assimilated or chased away by the invading Yoruba warriors.
The strong have always bullied the weak.

Most empires in history contain people who are not of the same ethnic stock as those who founded them: are you positing that some of these people who were extirpated should ressurect from their graves to challenge their overlords?

Those who register their presence on the land first with palpable evidences will always be credited by history to be the rightful owner. [/s]

Ritchiee:
I did not evade your question.I have answered it up there.Fulanis and the others met Afonja in Ilorin.Even if Afonja met anybody,they were yoruba.Why didn't you ask yourself why the fulanis killed Afonja before installing an emir.Remember two captains can never man a ship....one must go..

Go to those sites and read.

Ritchiee:
Your ignorance stinks..

You are a weakling from the FULANI REPUBLIC of the century...so you as dumb as a dodo..

If not for the British colonial intervention, historians agree that the Fulanis would have be driven far back out of Illorin by a coalition of Yoruba forces, even more farther away off conquered Hausa territories. This notion is based upon the resulting outcome from The Battle of Oshogbo in 1830 where the invading Fulanis forces were crushed, defeated and driven back before the interference of the colonials. They've tried this over and over in other Kingdoms....
JUST A FEW PEOPLE..who are not yorubas per se.. WHO ARE GAINING POLITICALLY WOULD ALIGN THEMSELVES WITH THE FULANIS....

Bunmytaz:
the problem we have in this country is that we can't differentiate from tribe and political region...political region can comprises of different tribe..is south south one tribe "no" we av itshekiri,ijaw and irobo etc, so north central is just a geo political zone not a tribe..they comprises is idoma,igala,Yoruba,Fulani etc...
The important thing for the writer to no is...your tribe is Yoruba and your goe political zone is north central.
be a north central doesn't make u Hausa or Fulani..there is deferent BTW tribe and region.. at least there is Yoruba speaking tribe in brazil ....
what identity ur tribe is culture way of life...
if u re from Yoruba speaking part in kwara definitely u re your.....let get things right stop racism, tribalism nd religion bigot

Biafman:
Liar. Yorubas, propaganda and re-writing of history to suit themselves. We all know the history of Afonja's backstabing which is the hallmark of Yorubas and Alimi's invassion of Ilorin and Kwara as as a whole taking advantage of a mere invitation from Afonja the backstabber. No one should pay attention to this lies being peddled here by this Yoruba liar, google Afonja and Alimi and read the ehole truth and nothing but the truth about how Alimi and his fulani meascreants conquared Ilorin and the whole of Kwara. This lies must stop, and for your information Ilorin is and will forever remain a fulani land and the whole of kwara a northern territory.

OP I'm 100% sure u don't have DSTV. There is African magic igbo

Yorubanews:
Look at this one. You know why no girls are on this thread fanning over the ugly ones you've posted?

cstr14:
Run to Yoruba men? Now that is news. The last time I checked, the Igbo women supposedly running to Yoruba men are based in Yoruba land. Dosen't take a genius to figure that out and why.
Just the same way Igbo men in Yoruba land are laying your women for the fun of it. With the added advantage of not kissing and telling.

cstr14:
And here we have this weak ass Yoruba guy here again. Messing up the bed as usual and crying over a mere thread. You are cry-babies honestly
And do I hear you say Yoruba guys run Africa? lol. You must be having a laugh mate.
I think you guys should leave ore first before thinking of running Africa. Igbo boys already colonized Africa and back. You are just looking to start, mate.

Jibril659:
you're pained. I can see

Proudlyngwa:
Certainly not as stupid as your posts
Every governor is in charge of security in his state, except a state of emergency is declared in that state.
You are an insult to the Igbo race

The best you could do is to ignore "YourNemesis" as he called himself.
.
Ilorin of old is divided into quarters i.e. Yorubas quarters, Hausa/Gobir quarters, Fulani quarters, Kanuri, Nupes and other tribes quarters.
.
If he indeed knows Ilorin as much, he wouldn't deny that very few family houses could be ascribed to Yorubas and I mean no disrespect, yet many more of Fulanis including the ruling family houses and few to the remaining tribes.
.
Because everyone speaks Yoruba, hence its easy to be fooled that the majority are of that ethnic stock, but like every other territories ruled/conquered by Fulanis, Fulfude isn't used as lingua fraca except for the likes of Adamawa, most often, language of the community or its environ is adopted and in this case, Yoruba, being the language of conquered territories south of Ilorin.
.Lastly, ethnic ownership of the town is rarely debated as the binding force of the different tribes in the town is far greater than ethnicity i.e. the Love of Islam.
Yes you would find Yorubas especially from SouthWest fighting for claims on historical ground with help from a few agitators from the town, most of whom are politically disadvantaged.
.
You did a great job and I love it.

Abagworo:
@OP there was no genuine agitation for Biafra and there is still none. It's politics rooted in the inability of some people to hold on to power. Hopefully they will be exposed soon for all of us to know.

Speeddial:
Mr Man are you high on something? For your information, I'm a Niger Deltan, and we are not Biafran.

Idiot.
