JOemmy:
The hausa/fulanis and the yorubas actually have a lot in common but I don't think it's enough for them to unite politically the two ethnic groups don't have the same destiny. The austrians, germans and the switzs have a lot in common but are in separate countries.

We actually don't. There is nothing that we have in common that is not commonly West African. Furthermore, anything we traded with the Nupe and Bariba is not Hausa. The Nupes and Baribas are not Hausa, and they are not Fula, they are not even close

Queseda:
Why are you trying to dispute what a professor with more knowledge than you trying to say. Nobody is forcing anything on anyone but the facts in that write up speak for itself that among the 3 major tribes, we share a lot in common compared to the 3rd.

What is more, genetic and linguistic similarity or trading trinkets?

RiceProducers:
This article makes sense. If you take the West African map and trace the Niger River, a few truths stare at you.

The Niger river connects Yorubas with Nupe and Baatonu/Bariba teritorry. Nothing more. Hausas are in the desert

TripleOh7:
That's why we need to actualize Yoruba nation.

These people will rewrite our history in our lifetime if we are not careful.

They are already doing it.

I'm telling you, and these Yorubas who can't think beyond Davido's baby mamas will be looking like dopemu

Tomek09:
YORUBAS AND FULANIS ARE ANCESTRALLY BROTHERS.

No.

Igboid:
This is falsehood.
Ndiigbo are not separated from Yorubas by River Niger as Ndiigbo exist in both sides of the River Niger.
Ndiigbo are separated from Yorubas by the Edo.
That's the boundary between Ndiigbo and Yorubas.

Exactly, there are less ethnic groups between the Yoruba and Igbo then between Yoruba and the camel racers of the desert

SlyDev:
No they are not from common ancestor. Igbo likely migrated from Kongo or Cameroon. Their attire (leaves and grasses) oftentimes not distinguishable from tribes in Central Africa.

The reason we share some language together is that igbo are gatherer, they quickly gather other tribe culture and language and adapt to it fast

Yoruba language is a contagious language, very popular in all of Southern Nigeria, the igala and itsekiri introduced Yoruba language to Ibos. Igala through enugu and Anambra then spread to other Ibo clans, the Itsekiri also.

We share nothing in common except civilising you ancestors

You can't just pull research out of your ass. It is more likely that Yorubas and Igbos formed from the same group due to our language and genetic similarities, likely split along the confluence of the Niger and the Benue or elsewhere closeby and Bantuesque elements in Igbo language (leading N, chi) probably came from association with other bantuesque language groups down the line.

SlyDev:
Absolute nothing, what pain me is dat Yoruba will leave these cousins to force friendship with ibo they share nothing with.

Lol.. you need to clear your head over there. Who is your cousin?? Hausa are Afro asiatic, R1B genetic group, Camel riding desert people, and their music sounds Somali. I think you are confused

SlayerForever:
I always tell anybody who cares to listen that Hausa and Yoruba people are the same! I have looked at them and seen their close similarities in behaviour and thinking. They are the same! After staying in the North and I came to the West and heard Lafia in Yoruba greeting I just knew the two people are the same thing from that moment onwards. Kperoogi here proves me right.

Don't be daft.

Tomek09:
Very nice, educating and interesting write-up.

Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis have/share many things in common.

No wonder Tinubu confirmed the assertion when he visited Kano which is an Hausa-Fulani dominated State.

YORULANI IS REAL.

It's just propaganda. Read what WesternOligarch wrote again for clarity

onumadu:
Okay, just consider these historical facts.
How can you uproot those Fulani who have been there for centuries?
I mean, lets be real.

The first part is about Borgu, That has nothing to do with Hausa. We Yorubas know Borgu, they are in upper Kwara and Niger state and Alaafin historically has an alliance with the Borgu king. Twice, Borgu and Alaafin joined to fight of the jihading Fulani. It was the second time that the Borgu king died in the battle. So no, any mention of Borgu does not make us closer to the Hausa, if anything it reminds Yoruba of a time in history when the Borgu were equally angry at Fulani incursions and jointly moved to simply wreck them.

The second part is just trade. There is an ancient city of Kaiama where a lot of trade was conducted for many ethnic groups in the region, even the Dagomba. Nothing special there. The Yoruba trade routes went up to Raba in modern day Niger state, nothing dipping into Yorubaland

onumadu:
I agree, too.

The Yoruba share far more with Hausa/Fulani than with Igbo, and this fact is clearly visible to any careful observer.

That fact has consistently reflected in the politics of Nigeria such that one cannot reasonably see any future Yoruba country without the Hausa/Fulani in it.

This is reality.

Absolute crap, we do not share linguistic family, we do not share genetics (R1B for Hausa), we do not share climate, we share all those things with the Igbo

Coldshisha:




This is ordinary common sense that doesn't need research

Due to geographical proximity , Dahomey (Benin Republic, Togo), Hausa (NorthWest , North Central), Nupe , BIni, Edo , Istekiri (Midwest) and Middle belt (Gwari, Baji) close to Kogi are our cousins in Yorubaland


In reality due to river Niger and huge gap, Yoruba and Ibos share absolutely nothing together


.

Hausas do not share proximity with Yorubaland. Do you know how far the Sahel is from Yorubaland. Prior to this crazy merger, no Yoruba man ever saw the gates of Kano. We are well aware of the gates of Dahomey, Nupe, Bini, Itsekiri, etc. We don't know those desert camel people

WesternOligarch:
Lol....this confused social political climber.

The article is full of sophistry, falsehoods and fallacies sprinkled with half truths, sentiments and biases targeted majorly at diluting the indigineous people of Yorubaland while tactically not talking about the ethnic syncretic of the north. Yoruba's and northerners have absolutely nothing in common. From our ideologies and attitudes to life there's a big difference between both people.

We Yoruba's aren't known for religious extremism or terrorism.

Yorubas are largely progressive and socialist liberals. Hausa/fulani are largely retrogressive and conservative extremists.

Yorubas believe in orderliness and don't subscribe to grazing cattle openly destroying people's property.

Yoruba's live in cities and villages like normal human beings. Fulani lives in the forest reserves like wild animals with their cattle.

Yoruba's don't subscribe to oppressing our women or girl children, women in Yorubaland are given equal freedom and opportunities as men(too much freedom in some cases) and we also don't subscribe to child marriages.

Yorubas rich and poor believes alot in education and it's ability to advance societies. Hausa/fulani believe that western education is Haram.

We Yoruba's don't pardon yahoo boy's, terrorists, militants or bandits. Hausa/fulani believes that terrorists are humans like us and should be pardoned and reintegrated back into society.

We believe in freedom of expression; it's why bobrisky is still walking freely in Lagos. Northerners believe in breaking beer bottles and banning mannequins because it is Haram.

We produce Noble laureates, tech Titans, globally recognized scientists, athletes, execs and self made business people. The north produces military men, presidents with school cert results and a large voting population.

There might have been intermarriages and inter relations with neighboring Northern tribes but hausa/fulani are never one or the same people.

Lastly what really makes a person Yoruba apart from his paternal genes is his embodiment of qualities known to Yoruba's and the tribal loyalty you have towards Yoruba, it's people and it's interests, if you find yourself scheming against or working against Yoruba interest it's most likely that you're not Yoruba but either an imposter or a bastard. Yoruba isn't just an ethnic group but a religion, a state of mind and an ideology

Farooq A. Kperogi like most non Yoruba's are quick to talk about Yoruba history trying to delegitimize the rights of indigineous Yoruba people and pushing silly narratives and agendas but would hardly talk like this about their regions or tribes..... ibadan men like me will see straight right through your bvllshit Mr Kperogi.

No bad blood with Northern people but it's an insult to say yorubas and fulanis are alike. It gets me really triggered.

Iba! Well said.

kmcutez:
White people want to make sure Africans have that Neanderthal gene by fire by force. That is why they raped almost all the women during slavery. Now Africans are willingly having their children and passing those recessive genes to them. Do you know white people have 98% monkey DNA, hence the evolution theory that we all evolved from apes. They are the ones that evolved from chimpanzees, so they are right about their evolution theory. Africans did not evolve from apes, hence that history does not apply to us. If Africans knew where those Neanderthals came from they will run as fast as their legs can carry them.

Haha.. I absolutely love your posts on this thread, but I'm going to go with IMAliyu's post that said "define human"

Yoruba has little Neanderthal DNA

Ew.. we have to get rid of that quickly.

WesternOligarch:
Igbos aren't even on the list so where did you see "85% or so" you people have started again. gush!!!.

It's not a complete list. This is a more complete list.

NnamdiAzikiwe:
Lol I also went on to confirm the post and it's hilarious that OP decided to crop out the part where the fula(fulani) ethnic group was listed. Op tinubu was right, Yoruba and fulani are one

This is a more elaborated image

Abohboy:
What we experience in Nigeria is tribalism it is based on ethnic groups or tribes and not on any nation the sole foundation for these nations existence is built upon tribalism so your point is null and void from the start

What you are seeing in Nigeria are not tribes

Youtube video of something similar happening elsewhere:

samwillyco1:
There is still hope for NIGERIA and fallen BREAST to rise Again

There is still hope for the Western part. This has nothing to do with Nigeria lol

There is a difference between tribalism and nationalism. Not knowing the difference is wack

ken6488:
rest also do not forget
if nigeria breaks today south south will form there own republic
so if you are dreaming about something forget it

we will do fine

Okay. Disclaimer, I am not from the east. Make una do what you want boi

MrMaestro:
Biafrans aren’t liking this. This is proving that if Nigeria were to break, South South looks to be their own nation.

It doesn't prove anything. They are just using the existing governmental divisions to float their measure

I don't live far pa pa. I should go and yell at these unity kids tomorrow. I look young like them

Lol.. I started feeling this yesterday. It hit hard man

Toks2008:
THE POWERFUL EFFECT OF LOVE LANGUAGE

When you hear the term love language what comes to your mind?... Let me guess... You probably think it is when you say or hear sweet things to or from someone you love but you are so very wrong..

Love language is that unique and peculiar way people expect to be treated for them to have a level of assurance that they are loved and the most complex twist to this is that every individual has a different love language and this is why you must meticulously find out the love language of the person you are with and not just assume you know.

OK let me make it simpler for you to understand by listing the different love languages we have.

1.Physical Touch: This is the love language of some people and no matter what you do for them, if this is lacking then you don't love them... If you like give them all the Diamonds in the world, as long as you don't touch them as often as they want, they will never feel loved and may Likely cheat on you with anyone who is ready to to communicate with them this way even if the person does not truly desire them.

2. Words of affirmation : This is the way some people understand love. Do whatever you think they love, if you don't tell them often how you love and appreciate them, they will fly away into the hands of anyone who will and even if the person is lying to them, they care less but just tell them often how special they are to you or how sweet they are and you are guaranteed their love and devotion.

3. Gifts: This is as straightforward as it sounds.. Just by some people gifts whether expensive or not and you have their love and devotion, to this group of people nothing else is as important as you buying them gifts from time to time and no matter what you do, to them they will never feel loved until they find someone who buys them gifts.

4. Quality time : This set of people care less about words of affirmation gift, or anything else but just spend time with them and I mean quality time and you have them loving you like puppies, this set of people are the type that complain of their lover not spending time with them even if they get the whole world from same person

5. Acts of service : This set of people just need you to be there for them in terms of rendering little assistance from time to time. This is their own love language and they will fall in love helplessly with anyone who is selfless enough to Render a helping hand even if you have nothing else to give them.

The Question now is.... "How do we know the love language of the person in our lives..."

The answer is very simple... ASK. don't assume.. Many of us know what makes our hearts melt so stop assuming and stop doing the wrong things cos no matter what you do, if you don't communicate with your significant other in the precise love language they love, you will only make them feel unloved and may likely lose them to someone who hits the right spot.

So when you hear your loved one complain to you that he or she does not feel loved by you regardless of all your efforts, please don't get confused, you are probably not using their love language to communicate with them. Once you get it right, you will definitely experience a whole new boost in your romance.

Hope this makes sense.

Acts of Service

valenu:
That's how it should have been since. But see eehn! These Fulani know the right thing to do. Do you want to tell me that if Fulani was in USA, they would be carrying cattle around destroying people's farms?
I blame the southern political leaders who are so selfish to forget that without south, they would not be leaders.

Exactly, they say they are nomads by nature but you will never hear them pull that shit in the US, or even in Italy. They just hate all blacks; this is the bottom line of it

I hear a lot of complaints from Nigerian communities about bad roads and how the government fails to maintain or construct these roads. My question is, does anyone have any information on how to locally hire workers/companies that can properly fix these roads? I am willing to work with such initiatives instead of waiting on the government and constantly hearing citizens complain about bad roads and its effects on their lifestyles and productivities.

She is just absolutely AMAZING!!!

I made a rough draft of a map. Please roast it

macof:
Most ethnicities of the South and Middle belt are ancestrally connected.
But there is no special connection between Gbagyi and Yoruba in particular but Yoruba were in very deep contact with Nupe. Gbagyi are the closest ethnicity to the Nupe so even if records of interaction are scarce between Yoruba and Gbagyi, interaction definitely happened

Yes, I'm inclined to think so as well. It only sounds reasonable
