Hati13:
The Solomonic dynasty

This dynasty also know as the House of Solomon, ruled Ethiopia from 1270 till 1974 AD with few interruptions and with some emperors being symbolic in between.

Ethiopian tradition says that in the 10th century BC, Queen of Sheba went to Israel to meet King Solomon and whilst there, she was pregnant by him. She then returned to Ethiopia and the child was born and was name "Menelik I". After some years, Menelik I went to Israel to meet his father and spent some years with him. He then stole the Ark of the Covenant and took it with him to Ethiopia in his return. He then became ruler of Ethiopia when his mother Queen of Sheba died and his descendants ruled Ethiopia until the Axumite empire was laid to waste in 10th century AD.

This dynasty was later restored in the 13th century AD by Yakuno Amlak after he deposed the ruler of the Zagwe dynasty.

In reality, this dynasty was a mythical creation for political and religious purposes.

They never claim they are from cush, the only available story on them is there appearance in Ethiopia around 1200AD, from where no one knows. You are the one adding cush to it.

Odede was to go back with a team in vegeance mission but was sent back, so the yoruba story says and the camp was at the present day igala land and their war cry was galla. They left gallant land towards the end of 1200AD and appeared in Ethiopia exactly early 1200AD. They were first called gallant people later they demanded to be called oromiya. In west Africa oromiya led to galla, in Ethiopia gallant led to oromiya.

Yorubas 'ronu' was said for a purpose, showing their head and mind is sleeping off some important things probably due to the oppression of the OYO empire which rage for hundreds of years.

Mulakintanwa:
Yes you were also told he was killed by Islamic religious uprising right, while Mohammed the prophet was yet to be born. The prophet was never even born around 6AD. How then did Islam which never start kill your own fabricated Adim-ula of 3BC.
Incorrigible lies and super imposition of lies on the truth is what we have carrying all around as history.

Here is your true story.

Do you know Halelu-- and alale- are actually the same words.

Where did Yoruba's originate from ? ( from your own point of view )

Alaiye , calm dowwnnnnnn jare , u see me follow u dey argue.


Just as you have provided facts to back up your statements , I have seen that its truly a dialect of Yoruba ( albeit with some urhobo ,Bini and Portuguese influence ).

I was only asking you if u were fluent in itsekiri because I wanted to find out if you and an ilaje person could communicate without hindrance.

And I asked about " old Yoruba " because I have come across it many times online.

Itsekiri is certainly a Yoruba dialect

@Olu317

Your lucid post about older Yoruba words
just made things clearer for
me

Did you know that the Olukumis
of Aniocha North LGA, Delta State who are indigenous
to that area after migrating from Bini area
during the Ogiso era [according to the
king of Ugbodu, HRM Oloza Ayo Isinyemeze], via
Esan territory?


Oloza [means Oloja] title.


Olukumis are of Yoruba ancestry from the
Akure/Owo axis and the call white [efun].
One of the 5 Olukunmi communities apart
from Ugbodu[The hometown of the 1985 U-16
World Cup Champion captain Nduka Ugbade],
is Ukwu Nzu[Eko Efun in Olukunmi language]
or White Chalk in English.


Acculturation of the Olukunmis came as a result
of interactions with Ibo-speaking communities
of Delta North or Anioma. Ibo-speaking does
not necessarily mean all the people of
Delta North are descendants of Eastern Ibo.
Igalas, Esans, Bini, Yoruba, Urhobo, Ibo
constitute the ethnicities that make up the
ANIOMA axis of Delta State.

@TundeHashim

It will interest you to note that Dr. Olusola
Saraki's father [Alhaji Muttahiru Saraki] in
early 1963 told Alh. AbdulGaniy Folorunso
Abdulrazak an Ilorin indigene, who was the then Nigerian
Ambassador to Côte d' Ivoire that he is
an Egba man from Abeokuta, but went
for Quaranic studies in Agbaji.

I first read this in a copy of The News Magazine
and an online version of that story is on
Sahara Reporters. Ahj. Muttahiru had 3 wives
as of that 1963.



The Sarakis know this history I believe
but for for the purpose of politics, Dr. Olusola
Saraki had to give the mythological story
of being a "Fulani" of Mali ancestry.


It was just subterfuge to be accepted by
the Northern Nigeria power brockers!


Wikipedia is NOT a reputable place to get
accurate information about issues because
it gets edited regularly by propagandists
and that is why schools in the Western world
do not allow references from Wikipedia from
their students.


I remember reading about Alh. DanMusa
who married the owner of Bisket Stores
saying in a magazine interview in the
early 2000s that his father migrated to Ilorin
and that he saw himself as a Kwara person
but now it seems he is using Niger State
now. He being of Fulani stock but married
to a Yoruba woman from Ijebuland[Bisket]
and he grew up speaking Yoruba fleuenly.


What struck me in that interview was how
Fulani of the same stock like the Dan Musas
claimed multiple states in Nigeria, because
the Dan Musas also exist in Katsina as well
which is where they originally are from.


That said, the British Archival materials
such as the History of Nigeria by Sir Allan
Burns who was the Governor General of
Nigeria clearly stated that Ilorin is a Yoruba
town, and that Illorin is one of the Biggest
Yoruba towns in Colonial Nigeria.


Lastly I have stated before that all the
Archival materials should be gathered by
the original Yoruba owners of Ilorin [Ilo Irin],
to the International Courts so they can have
a greater role in their town.

I remember reading archival materials about
Ilorin and it was indicated that Balogun
Alanamu [of Yoruba descent] was the MOST powerful man in Ilorin but the British George
Goldie's schemings led to the elevation
of the emir[of mixed Yoruba and Fulani heritage] who was just an Islamic leader
to play a more dominant role. We know the
British used the Fulani emirs to collect
taxes for them from the conquered territories.

It is also on record that the then British Governor
of the Lagos Colony had indicated that Ilorin
should be merged with the South instead of the
former North, but Sir George Goldie of the
Royal Niger Company rejected it and said that area of Nigeria was within his "sphere of trading influence" so that is how the northernmost part of Yorubaland ended up in the Old Northern
Region [Kwara and Kogi States].


There should just be a referendum and their should be no
fighting or bloodshed over Ilorin. I'm aware that you
have mixed Fulani and Yoruba heritage
as you have already stated in your NL profile
and I don't see anything wrong in that.
Atiku Abubakar is Fulani from Adamawa
and one of his wives, Titi is from Osun
and their mixed heritage children will
always be welcome by their kith-and-kin
or Osun cousins.

Neyomickey1:
Thank you so much, your knowledge of our culture is so vast. Alafin and Oni are actually stepbrothers, then I don't see any reason for superiority contest. Agba o ni tan lori ile.

Neyomickey1:
Thanks for your depth of knowledge. From your illustrations above, you have mentioned the seven town that the seven grandchildren of Odua occupied and Ile-Ife is not directly among them,does that mean that the ruling dynasties of ile-Ife, though they occupied the exalted seat of Odua and wear Ade Are, are not directly from the seven grandchildren of Oduduwa.

@ onuwaje
I thought number 1 is OKAN in Itsekiri?
Has it been changed now to MEENE?


The offshore oilfields off the coast of
Ugborodo [otherwise called Escravos]
are known as okan, meji, meta, meren
oilfields and are operated by Chevron
since the 1960's. This was indicated in the
Atlas of Nigeria we used in schools in the late
1970s.


You have a nice thread here.

ezeagu:
By the way, is there a word like oko relating to males in Itsekiri? I know oko is husband in Yoruba, in Igbo, however, oko means male which is the root of okoro, man is also nwoko in some dialects (nwa (child) + oko (male))

TundeHashim:
bro...while I completely agree with u that there's a cultural assimilation in Ilorin...I am, however indifferent about whether Saraki is a Yoruba or not. however, u made an error. The Balogun Fulani have paternal Fulani ancestry traceable to a particular quarters in Kebbi. I'm Fulani and I've got relatives married to the olufadi and imam-Fulani clans. However, you're absolutely right if you had said Balogun Gambari. I presume you know they're four Baloguns in Ilorin. Two Yorubas(Ajikobi and Alanamu), One Hausa(Gambari) and one Fulani (Fulani). Some crazy power play happened in Balogun Gambari quarters that eventually led to a Yoruba man (murogo) becoming a Balogun Gambari. But we're all one..a big family bounded by an Islamic identity headed under the leadership of the house of Alimi...

Neyomickey1:
Many thanks for your response. If I got you right , Oranmiyan, that is lineage is ruling Ife,is one of the Odua's seven grandchildren, what is the name of the remain six grandchildren and the town they are ruling?

BakireBulmaker:
You these young ones ehn...

Na wa

TundeHashim:
Lol...it's funny how people who know close to nothing about Ilorin history claim to be an authority on Ilorin. Some people, having read some discredited works claim to know Ilorin even much more than the Emir. so funny.


First and foremost, The Sarakis claim to originate from Agbaji Quarters, specifically at "Ile Agoro". Further checks on Agbaji itself and Agoro shows that the progenitor of the Agoro compound is NEITHER Fulani Nor Yoruba. In fact, He's a SHUWA ARAB who migrated from a Sudan via Mali to Ilorin. The name Agbaji is a Yoruba version of the town they come from "Al-barji" in the Sudan.

However, Most people classify SHUWA as FULANI just because of the close similarities between them.

one thing of note is that there's a Fulanization of the shuwa/tuareg in most Emirates. most shuwa, on account of close similarity with the Fulani, would just subsume their identities under that of the Fula identity, and interestingly they're welcome. Also, They're culturally Yoruba because they've assimilated the Yoruba culture, to a great extent.

So it is true, to an extent, that Saraki is a Fulani and a Yoruba man. it is also true that Saraki is not a Fulani nor Yoruba. However, what is true at all time is that Saraki is an Ilorin man!

Thank u

Markfemi:
Dino melaye js a Yoruba man
Go and read history Kogi Yorubas and Kwara are 100% Yoruba land
But some Fulani elements have settled in ilorin even adopting Yoruba name
Only thing I can say is Bukola smother is a Yoruba Woman
But you can’t compare Bukola to oyedeoo or dunk cause they are from different places and not loyal to any sultan

Cyynthialove:
I still don't know why we are attaching ourselves to Saraki even when Saraki has severally denied his yorubaness

HARDWORK:Antidole for Poverty
Hardwork is the antidole for poverty
So my dear friend you've got to work hard
Hardwork is the key to success
Where no helper is found
Real progress becomes a difficult task
And since you have no godfather
You'd better get on with your job
Perhaps your mother has lots of money
And your father,a row of mansions
If that's all you can show for living
You are already on the losing side
For without making any personal venture
You cannot expect any gain
For the fruit of your labour
Eventually produces eternal and enduring flavour
From your labour comes your true reward
The world will love you
If you have lots of money
But such love depends on your consistent wealth
Or if perchance you occupy a noble position
Friends will throng you like bees
However when tragedy strikes
That time, friends become very scarce
Education can also launch you to great heights
So make sure you take advantage of it
If you see hordes of people deriding knowledge
Don't be found among such critics
Ignorance surely breeds suffering and hardship
And truancy is the mother of regret
So don't play away your precious youth
Work hard, for the night is coming.
