Igbo ooooo

Some use it for fertility

Others for weight loss. If you eat too much, it gets tighter

The Igala story is junk science; no evidence and we do not even know the source.

The idea that someone came to a new place, peacefully, doesn't speak the language, but somehow built a house, created his palace and the people started worshipping him is the stuff of fiction. No Yoruba people would accept such.

Yorubas are fiercely territorial

Who is omoni bole?

Is she a Yahoo girl?

This is stupid, don't they have a CFO?

It seems no money was missing from their account, they are just jealous of the guy's flamboyant lifestyle.

I see him walking. All his enemies shall fall and scatter ijn. Anyone who doesn't want this guy to be as rich as their daddy G.O, fall! Fall!! Fall!!!

Nigerian government can never learn. They just made his name for him world wide.


Same with Boko Haram leader,

Same with Nnamdi KANU

Now Naira Marley.


At times you take a close monitoring instead of jumping into direct arrest, prosecution and bail which he used d same yahooo money to bail himself and get freedom.

At least, in this arena you can say the Nigerian governmet is fair; Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba

Yeibos should forget Nigeria

Kennydoc:
Anambra voted massively for Abiola, so it wasn't really without us that he won in 1993.
Obasanjo won in 1999 without the support of the South West. He wasn't SW candidate, even though he's Yoruba.
With us (and without core North), Jonathan won in 2011.
With us (and without core North), Yar'Adua won in 2007.
Buhari is the first president that didn't need our votes to win.

You are typical Yeibo liar who likes to reap where they did not sow: Abiola got roughly the same vote as Abiola in Anambra

Regardless, the SE did not vote for Abiola.

We will never forget!!!!

BuhariIsBURIED:
You didn't make sense in any of what u wrote, I just saw frustration and anger in you.. e pain u!

I have more likes than you so that shows I made more sense than you.

Na you e dey pain because I presented logic, you presented raw emotion typical of bush people aka yeibos

All Yeibo artists = nonsense lyrics

BuhariIsBURIED:
South West will not produce anything.. me personally and my entire zone will not vote for any.. instead let aboki kwontinue

Your vote is not needed

Without you, Abiola won the election
Without you, Yaradua won
Without you, Buhari won X 2

With you, GEJ was kicked out
With you, Atiku lost

I don't understand why you think you matter?

This is the kind of self delusion that has rendered you useless in the Nigerian affair.

Compensate ke, who is compensating whom

scholes0:
You are just commiting basic cultural blunders.

Be more specific, boss?

What did I get wrong

The Benin people no dey show face again.

It would be nice for them to at least acknowledge that we won in the spirit of fair play so we can have closure.

Oh well . . . There is a reason Yoruba are the most civilized in Africa


"Without saying that the Yorubas are more intelligent, we can safely say that their intellect is more cultivated; the asperities of savage life are softened, the sharper angles are worn down by frequent intercourse with their fellow-men, and at the present day they are cerrtainly the leading people in WestAfrica."

u'r making sense bro, I hail from ilorin. His grandfather yoruba's name is olarewaju his own name is kolapo Ibrahim sulu gambari, one of his wife's name is Taiye and one of his son yoruba name is folashade, he just removed kolapo from his name wen he ascend d throne. Kwara is a Yoruba state. As story say's if u'r saying OYO state story and u no mention ilorin ur story is nt complete bcs dey are both Afonja's
See our celebrity names who hail from ilorin like Femi Adebayo& co. Abeg which of d name is Hausa name

The people are mostly Yoruba, about 80%. The Emir stool though is Northern in Origin.

It's like Benin and Warrior, the people are not Yoruba but the Obaship in Benin and Olu stool in Warri were started by Yoruba after we conquered them. We beat iyalaya won and forced them to follow our awesome tradition.

So this is the origin of the fake story Adeyemi tells that @Wowcatty is stupidly parroting without evidence

The travels of the Landers throw just a little light on the extent of the influence of
Benin and its neighbours. They tell us' when at Badagry in 1830, that during the
lifetime of the late ruler's father, “and for countless ages before that period, Badagry
was a province of Lagos, and tributary to it, as Lagos is and has been from time
immemorial to the powerful King of Benin (I. p. 47).” They also tell us (I. p. 49) that
the body of the late chief at Badagry, “like those of his ancestors had been sent to
Benin in order that its bones might adorn the sacred temple at that place, agreeably
to an ancient and respected custom which has ever been religiously conformed to and
tenaciously held by the Lagos people.” At Katunga, about 200 miles N.N.W. of
Benin and about 50 from Rabba, it was expressly and repeatedly told to them
“that the monarch of this empire is brother to the King of Benin, but notwith
standing this near relationship of the two sovereigns, not the slightest intercourse or
communication is maintained between Yarriba and that power, so at least
the inhabitants of this place [Katunga] have informed us; and the reason they
ascribe for it is that the distance between the countries is too great (I. p. 176), and
they were moreover told that the two kings “were of one father and one mother.”
During their stay at Kiama, about 50 miles S.W. of Busa, they heard that Ederesa,
the rightful heir to the throne of Nouffie [Nupe) “sought an asylum with one of
the chiefs of a state near the Kingdom of Benin (I. p. 234).” Finally at Wowow,
about 25 miles S. of Busa, the king's head drummer, a Nupe man, told them “that
canoes capable of containing 500 men in each, and having thatched houses in them
are taken to Binnie [Benin] with great quantities of cloth, cotton, &c., by his
countrymen, &c.” (II. p. 117).
Of the connection with the distant Katunga, Mr. C. Punch makes some
interesting remarks: “Katunga seems to have been the name of the old town of
Awyaw of which Orangan was King. One of his sons became King of Benin and
took his father's money. Another became King of Ketu and took the ‘crown,' I
suppose the family honours. The Oni of Ife inherited the land, but it must be
remembered that Oni Ife (Kewhohas Ife) was originally the Alaffin. The Alaffin left an officer at Ife when he went to war, and the officer became Oni Ife. He became
by degrees a sort of religious guardian of the royal tombs and treasures, and
eventually attained a position in some ways semi-religious more important than the
Alaffin. The Alaffin, however, is in my opinion the titular head of the Yorubas,
and by tradition the Benin Kings descend from him.”
Capt. Hugh Crow" mentions a Bini embassy which arrived at Bonny during
one his visits. (p. 218). This was prior to 1812, but Crow's editors will have it (p. 190)
that Benin claims sovereignty “from Bonny to Calabar" which does not seem probable.

I can see why Adeyemi sticks to this account of Yoruba history. This book was published before Samuel Johnson's book. Irrespective, no one doubts that Pax Oyo was in the 15th century. What people like Adeyemi and his cohorts refuse to understand is that Pax Ife was 11th-12th century, way before Pax Oyo; and the Ife dynasty was based on advanced technology, war conquests, and economic prosperity.

That being said, It seems Oyo was really feared by Benin, Dahomey, Ketu, Nupe, Borgu and Hausa people.

You need to stop ruining people's lives. No evidence this young lady was arrested

She is either Greek or a flower

I dont think she is Yoruba

Attention seeker

TrickofTech:
True, true. I am sure there are many people in poverty around the world. I just happened to stay in Nigeria with a specific Yoruba family who appeared poorer than the circumstances that I am used to in the west. I was talking about a specific family, I was not generalizing.

I never meant to suggest that all Nigerians were poor. I apologize if I implied that.

You are retarrded!!!

@TAO11
Can u pls come up with some academic facts to thrash this "abore story version that this our oyo brethren have been masturbating on since.
Someone need to school them.

Should TAO11 be feeding the trolls?

Why entertain it when it is batshit crazy.

I am sure TAO11 has more important things to do than waste time on something so stupid
