MadamT:
I'm British and have been for nearly 30 years. I may be British on paper, have certain ideologies etc. but these don't make me any less a Nigerian. My children are in their mid to late twenties, born and bred in the U.K. and have never ever been to Nigeria (yet). However, they see themselves as Nigerians in many ways. If my kids (and many like them here in the U.K) identify with their Nigerian origin, how much more the man in question who was even born in Nigeria and had his early education there?

My brother is a naturalised American and has been for 38 Years. His grown up children are all Americans by birth and upbringing. None of them even have Nigerian passports. Yet, they all see themselves as Nigerians and identify strongly with the culture.

Because you put down British, American or whatever down on paper doesn't make yours or your parents' country of origin any less what it is.

Adebayo Ogunlesi is an American citizen on paper yes. But he is a Nigerian by origin and nothing can ever change that!

..... Perfect point. Thanks for your candid opinion. There are people on this forum clinging to the notion of diaspora Nigerians denouncing their country of origin “for The civilized West". But I am happy reading your piece of writing. Quite awesome to read.

.. You don't love him, I insist. What you love, you guide with jealousy and tender. And You will loose your temper if you caught him with your “sister" “doing the press up exercise ". I knew a guy that even slept with twins and still felt cool about it. . So,it isn't a joking matter

.... Buhari will dare not call this kind of man, because he won't come. Before now, how many people know professor Akintunde Ibitayo kinwande, (an electrical and mechanical computer professor ) but when they nominated his name as the Chairman of Nigeria population commission ,the man rejected the job. So don't expect the Yoruba in diaspora to support Fulani man. Asiwaju Tinubu that would have encouraged those ones, he is being gradually sideline at the federal, so, OMOLUABI, always think deep and twice. Eshin Iwaju to ji si koto ni, a ko arayoku logbon

So is he going to work for Yoruba people now? Or Americans? Wake up from your dreams.

....Definitely, he will work for the American government. It has never been in contention but the aspect of Yoruba man forgetting is home is the bone of contention. If you belong to the class of those who think working for America is a big deal,then,you must be living in planet Mars. Anyone who works for America government is to SERVE. Besides, he isn't the first at all but this came as a shocker because DONALD TRUMP had accused Nigerians (Yoruba in the majority of the educated Nigerians residents in America) of coming to United States of America and stealing their jobs. And he had promised to send all Nigerians packing. But the man is a dog who ate his own VOMIT.

ThroneofMercy:
I had the opportunity to visit the palace of the present Alaafin of oyo, you might as well visit the ancient palace. I saw about 10 cars and they all have customized plate 'ORANMIYAN'. Alaafin of Oyo never became the Ooni of Ife. In fact, that's always been the reason for the supremacy tussle between both. Ooni was the most loyal and longest serving servant of okanbi. He was fortunate to be custodian of the great heritage of Oduduwa. Heirs had become uninterested in repatriation. So, the whole kin unanimously made him regent.

What were you expecting to see?, is Oranmiyan not the founder of OYO Empire?. So, they will always lay claim to him but the truth is that he DIED in ILE IFE as the ONI. Was it not the same thing that Former OBA of BINI had said, that the OBA word was from them? until the reigning OBA corrected such notion. So people will always Say things to please them. However, I doubt if Alaafin OYO will utter such thing. t is practically impossible for OYO to issue such statement. OYO ILE/ EMPIRE was and still the true pride of Yoruba Race. Though ILE IFE remained our ancestral homeland.

mahleeq:
whoever is called Ooni is not descendant of Okanbi.

Okanbi was the first child and a female. She was the one that gave birth to Alaaketu Ketu. Fagbamila was the oldest son that founded ILA ORANGUN(OROGUN). Nigeria is almost killing Yoruba history. My God!

sammyjay3:
and who is that last son of Oduduwa?

Oranmiyan was the last legitimate son of ODUDUWA.

sammyjay3:
and who is that last son of Oduduwa?

Oranmiyan was the last son of ODUDUWA.

macof:
But you are.mistaken

Where no one denies that Alaafin is Oranmiyan...we should also take note that Ife is the seat of Oduduwa

No slave could have been put there, Adimula was not a slave, his mother was...and upon that she became the mother of the king. Why would you still hold that slave position on her or her son?? Adimula had Oduduwa's blood

When Adimula was ruling Ife, Oranmiyan was still a kid learning the ways of Ife.

And if you know Ife history well, you would know that Oranmiyan returned to Ife, where he died as King of Ife

The Ife throne is above all others in yorubaland

...The writer is just not very conversant with the truth or economical. There is no where in Yoruba land that will ignore the strength of OYO EMPIRE. In fact, OYO Yoruba were made up of all Yoruba sub grouping in the ancient time because it was the seat of economic boom and military might, which fought against every foreigners that attempted to attack Yoruba Race from the Northern part. And lastly, ILE IFE is the ancestral home of all Yoruba descendants. And it was the place where ORANMIYAN died and buried After, he came back from OYO ILE,which was then closer to ILORIN. As you had rightly said, It was Obalufon that his mother was a slave but direct lineage of ODUDUWA. And when Oranmiyan can from expedition, after he made AJAKA, king of OYO ILE, he challenged, his half elder brother and Oranmiyan as being described as a mighty warrior, was feared by his brother and his half brother, relinquish the crown and position for him. Be as it may, till date and forever, Obalufon is/will be the second in command to Oni IFE. In the ancient time, they don't joke with the truth and spiritualism as we do nowadays as IFA was the path to their light. unlike now, that some of call the name of JESUS(I,included) and Allah. He who don't know or understand the intricacy of Yoruba history will just find it hard to comprehend. There are so many hidden things from ordinary people like you and I except it is the appointed time.

reedbam:
Most of these history are just branded myth and folktales to quench phenomenal curiosity

But

Not true. Yoruba history isn't about myth. Believe me, it is not. But if you don't, at your own peril. Though, some credit given to many of ancestors were borne out of the role they played in sustaining Yoruba unity, development and tranquillity in the land

Did he appiont him holding his nigeria passport ? No...that man is not seen as a Nigerian, he's an American , Get over yourselves Nigerians

... I can't stop laughing. American! Indeed. Yoruba man,is forever in love with his root. He cannot forget his root. Besides, there are uncountable and eligible Yoruba like him even in diaspora. Proudly Yoruba.

It is Ogunlesi not Ogunlensi.

Secondly, he is Ijebu from Ogun state, not Ondo state. His father is Professor Ogunlesi, the first Nigerian professor of medicine.

As for Trump and the Republicans, they have a penchant for assembling capitalist gurus, that in turn wreck the solid economy already achieved by the Democrats.

Bush made sure he wrecked the economy he inherited from Clinton. Obama cleaned up the mess of Bush, now a Republican Trump has come to inherit a stable democrat engineered economy.

How do the Republicans wreck the economy?
They invite all their capitalist friends to run the country, who as a matter of first priority, erase all forms of government regulations in their own respective business sectors. Bluntly put, they are in power to see how best to grow their own businesses. They continue to take all manner of greedy risks, even if they have to bet against America.

They quickly cut taxes for the wealthiest of the wealthy, claiming such increase in disposable income would be reinvested in the economy by creating more jobs.When the charade falls apart, they run back to beg for government bailout with tax payers funds, while still flying about in chartered flights living an illusion called American Dream.
The average Joe remains average.

Time will tell if Trump will wreck it in typical Republican fashion, while the short memory Americans run back to the Democrats for succour in a cycle that never changes.

Something is actually wrong with American presidential election . I am tempted to doubt the authenticity of American Democracy as it regard the ROTATIONAL way of Presidents tenure in the last twenty six (26) years or more but I want to emphasize clearly on the ones that looked more like rigging at the highest order. This was when Al gore,a DEMOCRAT contested against George Bush Junior,a RUPUBLICAN candidate and the incumbent, won despite a battered image on 9/11 Those who followed the election in 2001/2002 will understand what I mean. Despite, 9/11, Bush won again. Practically incomprehensible .There after, 2007/2008 ,DEMOCRAT, and a half white/half colour man became the president . Now, Hillary Clinton won the popular votes and yet the collegiate voters was said to had voted more for DONALD TRUMP, a man with racist comments, a man who calls women, “Slot" etc . How was that possible? ,I don't have answer to it. May be you do? wish we can forget about this country though it is the country that has place restrain on those other wicked countries in the world, which credence,must go to her. However, Since they are the one with all form of “government magic". I think, it is better for the war mongers to be allowed to sell their weapon and at least to subdue the killing in Africa countries and Middle East. It is just amazing to see a party to build an economy and about to destroy it. What a country! What a people!!

I got it. And what fv.k does it mean?, Though I almost fell for it but golden thought helped me out. If it is from Nairaland, shouldn't it be posted on the designated forum?, it will do us proud if Nairaland clear my and other people's worries.

ItsQuinn:
There's something called controlled emotions and tolerance

girlfriend,i disagree. I am more than 99% sure that even the best of human beings make mistakes and it is expected that you and I can take some decisions contrary to the proper norm. Emotion can't be controlled outrightly but subjected temporary to other alternative opinion. Even the Psychologist will tell you,that you have to “work" on your feelings because it is always part of YOU. In fact, in some school of thought my/your emotion is called my/your “DEMON" .Do you know that irrespective of your sex, every human being born is a potential “criminal/killer” ?,But many choose the alternative because there is a “golden thought" called second thought. So, every one looses the control over his/her subjected feelings at one time or the other. And the truth is that women tend to loose their “cool" more than men. Do you get the drift?

ItsQuinn:
Cheating could be an unplanned event you know, when you find yourself in a very vulnerable/sticky situation if you know what I mean

Quite interesting! But too good to be true. Love drives people off track.

uboma:
Yeah I agree.

It still pains me that I failed to take my French classes in Secondary school seriously...

...Even if you did, it won't be enough for you to understand it but a Lee way to having little French knowledge. Take for instance , a cup has many names, depending on what it is used for a glass cup is called Verre, another cup is referred as tasse, coupé etc. So, if you want to understand French, absolute time must be given to it. To be able to conjugate very well, you must be willing to go all the way in learning it.

Hi

This thread is opened for individual who would like to meet certain need without necessarily spending money. This platform allow members to exchange items for items without much emphasis on money. Seeing a future where individual in a Group, Community or Society will go about getting what they need or want without laying too much emphasis on money.

All its require, is to tell people what your pressing need is, in terms of items while you display or post what you intend to give in an exchange for that particular item. For instance, if you need a Dinning set and you have an Old Sofa to give in exchange, someone out there has that Dinning set. Or may be you have 1 heacter of land at Songo or Ikorodu and you need a plot of land in Ajah I believe someone out there is ready to take your offer. I belief we can work it out nothing is impossible.

Money has been the means of exchange for decades if not centuries The Root Of All Evil but if we De-Emphasize money in our relationship in the process of meeting our need or making ends meet and form a Group, Community or Society that gives items for items, material for materials, service for service even giving Freely if possible to those that need those material or items and putting the enemy of our generation to shame.

uboma:
I agree 100%

Even Bidexluv seems to have gone beyond the basic stage, can't even understand what she says here.

I have always felt that the fastest means to learn and understand the French language is to live amongst French speakers for some time....

Oh well, lemme see what I can't get from this thread.

Merci.

It is quite important to continually spend time in the midst of French speaker because it enhances your understanding and proper pronunciation. Furthermore, many words are spelt in English language in the same like manner in French's but the pronunciation is a major factor because it differs. Then Your teacher need to start from alphabets before you progress to the next stage. Apart from the alphabet, the French language lay emphasis on gender,( precisely masculine and feminine which differ from English that also give credence to common as well as neuter) unlike English language that you and I can toy with and go Scot free.

uboma:
Bonjour Bidexlux,

I am also here to learn.

...french is more complicated than English language.

Education in Nigeria has truly gone to the pigs

.Definitely your father is the grand patron of the pig's family. It is even foolhardy to find myself on a forum of this magnitude,lucky fool like you. An individual like you that has nothing in his brain to add but to waste his MB. A perpetual uneducated you has forgotten that Your family still adore and worship masquerade in your doomed village. So why do a fool like you not go and learn about history. Continue to wail on typography error. A lackluster with no knowledge of the past,today or the future.

VomeSchakleton:
Maybe your questions are best directed at a yoruba person which i never claimed to be.


I dont have to be yoruba to respect yoruba culture small fry. So think again.

....Better. However for the record, I don't sit and fold hands on past glory. If someone mentioned Yoruba being Canaanite and information today has it that the the two kings of southern and northern Israel who were killed through JEHU around 5BC-6BC in which after their death the seven skull of divine kings of ancient Israel are being worshiped in Yoruba kingdom under the name of Obatala with the skull . No part of the world is that happening who claim Israelites. How come Yoruba has the highest twins born in the world? Jacob and Esau were the first record in the Bible whose grandparents parents were Abraham . And Israelites are the ones whom were synonyms with twins. So,if we don't remember anything at all, our ancestors transfer it orally that we came from the East. Yoruba didn't tell the white researchers that they want to tell the world that they are Israelite nor do I but the white researchers were the ones saying it because of heavy research on the lost tribes of the largest group of ancient Israelites. Even you can testify to it yourself, where is the largest place of worshipping almighty God in the world? who are the major pastors? Things don't happen by chance, study the Bible and you will understand what God said about his Israelites children when he will give them a soft heart. Read Leviticus very well on how ancient Israelites do sacrifice ,is exactly how Yoruba does sacrifices in the IFA way, Isaiah also has a lot of this information concerning the children of God, so study it if you are interested and if not, am not perturbed but truth stand eternally. And someone like me that has been doing more research independently have even more information to be added on Yoruba history. And once am ready, it shall be published.

VomeSchakleton:
Frankly i read your first sentence and i realised how far off you are so i didnt read the rest.


Maybe your whole comment is better directed at an igbo person yeah?

And please dont get me wrong, i have great respect for the yoruba culture and people. But we need to rid ourselves of this stuupid inferiority complex of having to trace our origin to somewhere else its ridiculous.

... You are not Yoruba. Yoruba don't firstly use negative word such as “ignorant",we are called Omoluabi,people well trained. Yoruba are extremely spiritual irrespective your religion. Yoruba are open-minded and not stereotype..whats is your oriki? What's your family oriki? , be bold to identify who you are. You are a big LIAR.

VomeSchakleton:
Its none of my business but you sound really ignorant. Have you heard of slavery?

These yorubas in south america obviously mixed with hispanics. Theyre the odd ones out not you.

If you originally looked like them it doesnt matter how much intermixing you do these features would still reflect.

Thats besides genetic studies that prove your genes, language and everything else to be purely subsaharan and similar to that of others like igbos.

Muhammad Bello though knowledgeable on other issues, his "theories" on athropology are mostly based on myths and hearsay and are extremely unreliable. He did specify "according to what we are told"

....as myopic and uncultured as you are for you to even have a notion that educated person of my status won't have knowledge on slavery. This show your cheetah like nature without aim. This is my problem with half baked educated personality that will come on the internet to show pseudo writing/typing skills with non brainy information. Even the children or pupils in the primary/grade/elementary schools know about slavery about Israelites under Egyptians if nothing at all. So stop wasting precious time of Yoruba people if you have nothing to add to our value. I was practically was referring to spiritual connection that have made to come seeking reunification with their kith and kin in Yoruba land. After all, Yoruba Race were not the only group captured as slaves and not the highest number of slaves transported to the foreign lands but they kept finding their way back because God gave them direction. As a spiritual being, NOTHING HAPPENS IN THE PHYSICAL WITHOUT SPIRITUAL manifesting it first Bible : As it is done on earth, so as it is in heaven).Lazy chap go and study....

...Someone like need to be told that the same truth the colonialist told the savage Africans that refuses to know the difference between God and god I don't expect you to be knowledgeable about things beyond your comprehension because your society and people were ruled by Yoruba. Oba Eweka (Owoka) and some of his people were even one of your patrilineal ancestors because till date his name (EWeka) is still a force to reckon with. Onitsha is from Binin, so we know, you people are from Africans Savage when my own ancient society was already flourishing. As you seems to be clouded with hatred, little did you know that my personal research on my race, my ethnic has nothing to do with Sultan Bello .And if gene has a link with other group, does it mean, they are the same,?, was that what your scientists told?,you are absolutely a lazy and not widely read. Did the DNA carried out doesn't confirm difference?, of what percentage do you think, a gene of two different group can be said to be from same patrilineal?,I am so sorry for your non studious attitude but based your opinion on Bello perception and opinions. Apart from the Mohammedan candid view, why have the white historians, find Yoruba culture as having practically same with ancient Israelites culture. Where is the culture of Ibo having similarities with ancient Israelites? mention ten of it. Yoruba had dominated Ibos during the iron age period. So it explainable if Yoruba had married many ancient Ibo women, which we still do till date. Please, go and study beyond eighteenth century history of Sultan Bello. In fact if Sultan Bello could identify Yoruba Race,don't you know it was because he had studied Yoruba people and with information from some people in the course of his study?,So stop wailing like a puppy and study about your Bantu Ibo history ,do you even have where you come from outside Africa?, 0 Israelites don't claim to be Israelites, it is the other tribes that called them people of the LEVITE'S. I have studied beyond Nigeria ,West Africa and still studying Yoruba history. Lastly, why are the Ibos generation slave not returning?, because they are Israelites. You can not assimilate Israelites, no matter how much you try but you people are of Bantu family grouping. I hold my Yoruba identity in high esteem because I AM PROUDLY YORUBAN. .

You need a serious study of African history.[/quote]...Have you seen lately the Yoruba of South America whom are of Hispanic look are coming back to Yoruba land to seek reconnection. Are we not like these people in the ancient time before we began to marry Cushite and other darker skin people? ,I am curious about this. It seem God is telling us something, that I believe so much . This people are just more than 150years old or less in the land of captivity and you can hardly call them Yoruba again except if they tell you whom they are. They refused to forgo their tradition. How is it possible? monotheism God is always enshrined in our blood because it has been part of us immemorial.

Yes; even Oranmiyan, sango, etc.
