omoharry: My guy, work on your English. Yes, I’m pro-Yoruba & I’m proudly a bigot for not being receptive of outsiders talking down on my heritage - you can do the same for yours or you can let others trample on your whatever. And I have never canvassed for one Nigeria. Kilo kan mi pelu Nigeria? And I do not dislike anybody, i will just let any mofuggah come through & talk shxt about my peoples. 1 Like |

omoharry: Those wey marry Yoruba have not had their cultural heritages down-talked. You might as well work on your use of English than waste your entire life away on NL. Also, if protecting Yoruba interest & putting Yoruba first makes me a bigot then I’ll proudly wear the badge. |

dewiseacre: LOL a lot of you folks trying really hard to appear educated are largely foolish illiterates. If you had any modicum of proper education you would know that a ‘marketing pitch’ without consideration of immediate reality & context - as i her case, the reality of Naija multi-ethnic reality & the context of bad inter-ethnic relations between Ibo & Yoruba - is a bad pitching at all levels. If you went into a black community & picthed nonsense about forgetting MLK & saying Trump, Hillary or Sanders were the real deal, you would get overrn by a barrage of negative reactions. People like you are reasons Naija & Africa are backward. You try too hard to act western while your foooking black butt of illiteracy & entirely low intelligence is exposed to people who can see through your gab of ‘enlightened’. You, the Betty & commenters like yourself are stxpid. QED. 2 Likes |

X This is what happens when you have governors with non-Yoruba wives. They have no appreciation for our culture & landmarks, they have no reason to be placed in the position of power directly or by association as in this case. Ondo folks need to put this Nyamiri in her place before she goes further to shxt on their kings out there. 24 Likes 2 Shares |

darlingtonNYIG: The emboldened is misleading. It gives the impression that there was a trade in slaves monopolised/conducted by the Fula. You could have said ‘the trade in Fulani slaves occurred more with the Arabs’ |

proxillin: See illiteracy of History. You should consider your gaffe up there embarrassing. Islam was in Yorubaland for several centuries before the Fula people ever heard or adopted it. It was in Hausaland as well for a long period before Danfodio instigated the Read books before making statements such as the one above. For more readings see G. O. Gbadamosi Islam in Yorubaland & J. D. Y. Peel’s book on religion in Yorubaland [I can’t recall the actual book titles but they’re close to what I have up there]. 2 Likes 1 Share |

X Then he becomes saved, his eyes both the physical & otherwise, as well as intelligence will skyrocket in level of use because s/he has become ‘saved’ from the shackles of religion which has led the human race to doom. It is similar to eating the garden of Eden’s forbidden fruit, the clarity of the senses reaches a full potential that makes life better understood & lived. See Europe before & after the Renaissance/Enlightenment. Religion, particularly Christianity & Islam are making people mentally sick. Giving spiritual explanations to natural phenomena & seeking spiritual interventions in cases that requires the brains. See hoe they tell people to pray to solve Nigeria’s problems. Lol. A Christian who quits their religion has found the light, found redemption & found life. 24 Likes 3 Shares |

EzeIgboNwaChukwu: This is quite interesting. So please indicate those unique features that make you a Nigerian. Those qualities that are ‘Nigerian’ in nature. At least we know the Americans share a common type of English, migration history, common pre-migration experiences in Europe. Please mention some of those qualities & experiences that are peculiar to the Nigerian identity. I’ll wait. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Egbon, you should hear some of the comments passed on him in real life & on call-in radio talk shows. The man may just drive a wedge between himself & the Yoruba which his detractors may just cash in on seriously. If he’s not going to be pro-Yoruba in talks then he best not speak at all like you said. Blessings Baba. 3 Likes |

joyousmother2016: OK. Not all schools accept anything less than MA in History, I can tell you much about University of Ibadan. While your post is not quite clear. I was just surprised you had Bachelors and Masters in International Relations [or is it History and International Relations?] and then went on to get into History at Doctoral level. Anywho I'm into socio-cultural history, particularly of the Yoruba. What ethnic group/nationality forms your scope? |

TAO11: Your conclusion is unfounded and your entire story is not tenable. 1. The century Jesus was born & the establishment of Christian era are still sources of debates amongst scholars. 2. The flood myth features in virtually every culture. In fact, the pyramid of Giza was said to have been erected because of a deluge. Israel had close contacts with Egypt my friend. 3. Persia, Israel, Arab are all located in the Mesopotamia/Sumerian region. Guess what? The early myths of Sumeria/Mesopotamia features the deluge gist. My conclusion still stands, you are poorly read on this subject. No story. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
Culture / Re: Fredrick Obateru Akinruntan: I Am The Leader Of All Obas In Yorubaland by OgboAto: 8:32pm On May 13, 2019 |
TAO11: My G, I apologize for coming out you in such an uncouth way. It does not only make my heart heavy to have acted that way, it is also embarrassing. I honestly just didn't like the 'tone' of your response to me, it was quite patronizing but that was that. My sibling, abeg nor vex. This Yoruba thing na both of us heritage & we both want it to be good. What is pertinent is to learn from each other & find a common ground. You'd have to pardon me for saying this but I have most of the papers you are citing. I have a library of HSN journals from 1970 till date. This is apart from books from that period till date. I'm a PhD candidate in History [all my degrees are in History] & as such, I have come in & still very much in contact with awon Baba nla in the field who have added to me in everyway. Having said that, I'd like to say that, I guessed your Okun/Yagba angle was based on the multiple Ife hypothesis but I'll ask if you've read Robin Horton's 'Ancient Ife: An Assessment'? Prof Obayemi was a topnotch scholar but his thesis was geared towards projecting his town, Ife Ijumu as the actual 'Ife' rather than the present Ile-Ife where archeological evidences are still being excavated. Horton's work examined the various theses on Ife & trashed each with evidences ranging from archeological to lexicostatiscal data - I could share it with you if you'd like. As rich as the work was, he also supported the East theory [Obayemi supported North East] in which he said Ife was located somewhat near the Igala but with river Niger or whatever running as a dividing line & it was from here migration took place. It was a hypothesis because excavations from Ife says that the present Ile-Ife has been occupied for at least 350BC. As for Ifa, I'm an initiate of several awo including Ifa & I can authoritatively say that Ifa only mentions three Ife not seven & these Ife are: Ife Oodaye, where Oduduwa robbed the drunk Obatala & took up his role with 5 toes chicken & sand from snail shell; the Ife Ooyelagbo, the deluge period where everyone lived on Oke Ora under Oranfe's rule; & lastly, Ile-Ife under Obatala who was usurped by Oduduwa/Obameri group. In conclusion, Baba Obayemi's argumrnt has been dismantled by new evidences both material & non-material. Likewise the pro-Bini scholars. And in essence, Ikedu could not have been hosted in Okun/Yagba axis because: 1. The Ikedu data is acclaimed to have focused on Ile-Ife; 2. Excerpts from Ikedu language shows it is closely related to Itsekiri/Ilaje not Okun/Yagba & 3. Obayemi's attempt at transposing Ile-Ife to Ife Ijummu has been dismantled. Cheers. 1 Like |
