Igbo are quick to call minorities slaves of hausa/fulani at the slightest chance, so this serves as a reminder of where you people are coming from. You were once under direct control of one of the minorities.If you dont like this reminder then stop calling others slaves ,focus on your Biafra project.

Wow

The hunchback is somewhere in Cameroon hiding...

Ijebu ' ilu to ajeji ki nwo' the land strangers are not allowed.

Is there any land without strangers?

Stupid thread

Gwaihir:


Nobody is hung over it but it is insulting for someone to say Ibadan was never conquered when it was the British using one as a tool against the other. At the end of the day, aren't we seen as the same today? And the dude is talking about trade like the main trade in the Ibadan area wasn't about slaves! It was so huge that a woman grew so much reputation on her cruelty and her dealings of slave, speaking of Efunsetan here.

If it is the same Owu, it will be as a result of placating the displaced people not because they warred with Ijebu and took that place as conquest

The Owus ran out of their heavily fortified city about 1826. They escaped through their southeastern gate in groups and entered their assailant territories through Ijebu Igbo and spread southward, settling in places like Ikija, Omu, Ayepe and other places. However, the main body of Owu escapees went towards the new settlement of Ibadan

. It is important to state that the present Orile Owu is the same place as Owu Ipole, earlier referred to, where Owus from Iwo and other places resettled in the early 20th century.

The main body of escapees from Ibadan marched across Ogun river and finally arrived at Oke Ata near Abeokuta where Sodeke and other Egba leaders persuaded them to settle about 1834. Again, Owu fought side by side with Egba in the Makun and other wars against Ado Odo and Dahomey in 1842-45. Owu contingents fought and routed Awori at Itori, Yobo, Ifo, Atan, Ota and also occupied those places till today.

Yes, Owu people had fought wars, won battles and settled in very many places between the Niger river and the sea (Owus in Lagos State; Epe, etc.), yet their main stream had settled among the Egbas in Abeokuta BUT, THEY ARE NOT EGBAS, neither are they lJEBUS. (See Johnson’s “History of the Yorubas, p.18). Owu settlements in Ijebu and Abeokuta were not as a result of direct battles or victory over them, but mostly on friendly terms.

Those Owus are not the Owus of Obasanjo. Have you heard the Olowu of Owu stating how they got to their present location?

Lol, what do you mean by Owus of obasanjo?

There are Owus everywhere except Ekiti and Ondo. .

The Owus in ijebu migrated there after the war just like the Owus in abeokuta, The Owus in badagry, Owu ikosi in lagos etc

Only Owu kuta in Osun state and Owu isin existed before the war.

There's an annual convention that brings all Owus together. . It's called Ruop, Royal Union of owu people

It was last hosted by Owu abeokuta in Ogun.


Get over all these wars that happened centuries ago

Gwaihir:


Please stop yapping like an illiterate.

Ijebu impeding Ibadan from trade and yet they need to ally with the Brits? Who really then was the trade starving Ibadan or the Brits? And if there were so invincible as you claim, why did they need to ally with the Brits?

Now let me tell you about facts, before the Brits, there was the Ekiti war that had Awujale Fidipote to send Balogun Onafowokan to wage war in Ibadan. That particular king was vehemently against the order of things then and wanted what was rightly due to him on his own land. That was how the Kuku name came into prominence. Ijebus were the first to start using arms which gave them an advantage over the rest of Yoruba land which saw even the Ooni send an emissary to Awujale Fusngbuwa when the Owu were pummeling the Ife, not Ibadan that you claim had a stronger military might. It was the Ijebus that help finish off the Owus which is why they are in that part of Ogun state today. The Ooni was about to lose his kingdom and it was the Awujale of that time that made Ifes not to tell sorry tales about what could have befallen their forefathers in time past.

To add to it, it was Balogun Kuku who sold arms to Ibadan and it was his turncoat that saved Ibadan from being pummeled further. It is all in history, please go and read up.

It may interest you to know, Ijebu was immuned through out the various wars that plagued Yorubaland not until the British came. Not Ibadan that was assaulted by the Alaafin and became what it is by the combined efforts of Ijebu,Owu,Egba warriors for it to stand as what it is today. There is even a district in Ibadan that belongs to the Ijebus as a result of the wars and you say they were invincible? Show me a place in Ijebu where any other tribe holds a district in it

I have the links if you want.

We have Owus in Omu-ijebu and Ijebu igbo.

There's Owu ijebu and their king is Oba Segun Adesina


please don't forget to share those links

Alcatraz005 when will you stop all these bullshit?

Lol, This thread no fit reach 20 pages

Shameless....

Knew their tribe & origins before clicking...Nnamdi Kanu said 99%....

Lol

I think we need to be careful about this terrorist tag we've given to IPOB. Not that I care about those guys but I think the fulani herdsmen who go about razing down villages constitute a serious threat to the Unity of this country.

I also think if the government is really serious about preserving any stupid unity then those guys that issued the quit notice ought to have been arrested. .

The government is setting a bad precedence here. . They should quit this double standards.. .

Trying desperately to tag someone else with what you're known for. Just as Nigerian Muslims are desperate to tag igbos as terrorists.

We have always known South East for ritual killings.. Infact most of the murderous ritualists here in the South west gets their human parts from various baby factories in the South East.

Oksman:


Your submission is myopic my friend, soldiers are trained to defend the territorial integrity of a nation and not to arrest or track ritualist!

You are the one who is myopic.. .

The Armed forces may be considered adequate and effective for the purpose of suppressing insurrection and acting in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by the President.

Ibadan is more developed than Ebonyi and Enugu.

It seems the dude is Yoruba sef

Why would I? This is about how he felt. He unlike you didn't lie about sth. He simply stated his feelings. I am definitely sure you won't be able to eat some info foods too. Stop being ridiculous and childish

There is difference between not liking a food and insulting those who eats it.

pboy247:
Greetings, my fellow Nairalanders.

I hope this piece hit FP.OP.

Now let's reason together and think about my counter views on Igbo bashing as expressed below.

Before you stone the Igbos, ask yourself, did the Igbos put guns on anybody's head before buying up Alaba, Ajegunle, isolo, festac, ago palaceway, ikotun, Apapa and Oshodi in Lagos.

Did they use juju before the Ibadan surrendered Iwo Road to them?

And what were we looking at before the Igbos took over Isida and Adeti in Ilesa.

Where were the YORUBAS when the Igbos thrived and built 90% of the Hotels at Abuja. Was there a law that excluded the YORUBAS from selling building materials? Dei Dei building materials market in Abuja is 90 % Igbo owned.

So the more we point one finger at the Igbos, the more we have the other four fingers pointing at our laziness and lack of initiative as a society.

The YORUBAS should have been better with all our education, but we may be worse that the Fulanis who just roam around the bush.

Why? Because we lack the entrepreneurship spirit. We just want salaries from doing 8am to 5pm job. We proceed in foolishness and we persist in hoping to reap plenty without showing hard. The Igbos are different, hence we are now jealous and envious.

We love wasteful parties and Aso Ebi. Just a little business without even making any profit yet, we usually call musicians to spay money like coffetti .

Where are all the Board Members of Ebenezer Obey today? Where is lawyer Omoyinmi and Lanre Badmus? Where is Oroki Social Club of Osogbo? Where is Felates of Ilesa and the likes whose trade mark was to bring Sunny Ade to Ilesa every Xmas, to waste all income gathered for the year?

The Yoruba society wasted their leading lights on excessive consumption and wasteful attitudes. We wasted our capital on frivolous social gatherings.

We took religion to ridicoulous levels, such that the wealthiest pastors and churches are now Yorubas. But all the wealth extracted by the churches from the Yoruba nation is also merely flaunted to show who's God is the most miraculous.

So we have become paupers and destitutes, as the Yoruba nation cannot now pay salaries. Pensions are owed for years.

Tell me, is Osun State filled with human beings or goats to have tolerated Aregbesola, when they rejected Akande. Say it loud, is the Constituted Authority of Ibadan sane to just bring about 21 Obas from nowhere to receive salaries, where there is no money to reopen Ladoja Akintola University?

Are the Ondos so wise to have allowed Mimiko to devastate their terrain as to be now saddled with 12 months salary arrears? What of Ekiti with rabble rousing Fayose and the intellectually arrogant Fayemi?

Even Lagos, there is nothing to write home about it, despite all the hype.

But the Igbos are hard workers. Let us not continue to deceive ourselves. 20 of their young boys can live in the shop from where they sell goods, after some years they will take over and become big boys even here in Lagos and in their father land! There is no place too dirty or remote for them to hibernate and incubate their ideas. Give them 5 years, you will see them buy and take over all shops and lands.

True, some of them are criminals which is not different from other tribes the Yoruba and hausas! but majority of the Igbo youths build and build physical structures away, while the YORUBAS are content with looking for salaried jobs, so that they can have siesta in the afternoons and then attend parties on Saturdays. Then spend Sundays in church wishing and praying for divine miracles.

How foolish? How many yorubas are in Igbo land hustling? How many of our youths can boast of having their own house at the age of 35? Huh? as the Igbo people are meeting and strategizing on Sunday, so that they can gather money and come and buy the houses and lands owned by our Yoruba fathers.

Whether we like it or not, Obokungbusi Town Hall will soon be on concessional PPP sale. The Igbos will buy it. The proceeds will be used to pay backlog of salaries owed to impoverished Ijeshas. It will come willy nilly.

It will happen even in a declared Oduduwa Republic. Afterall, the Chinese, the Lebanese and the South Africans are buying us out with reckless abandon. See how ShopRite is buying up everywhere. I heard that they bought Owena Motel estate in Akure. How come we did not sell it to the Igbos?

We shall continue to grumble and hate the Igbos until eternity. Unless we spy on them, copy their ways and imbibe their can do attitude. They are lovely people and they are willing to carry you along in successful business if only we can embrace love and stop unnecessary hatred!

The Yoruba nation and society have been pauperised and destituted. In desperation, we shall soon start to behave like the Almajiris' in the North.

In grinding poverty and out of jealousy, the Almajiris of the North regularly loot Igbo shops and businesses. Very soon Yoruba urchins will start looting too to show that they hate the Igbos.

Even some of us here will defend it to show our hatred for the Igbos. Whereas, the looting is as a result of hunger and uselessness of our society.

How sad for the Yoruba Nation. ���

Alcatraz005:


What justifiable reason is that for a secular state/society?

That's why we have to hear the government side and then we can decide if the reason given is reasonable enough.

See, people will attack you because all you do is open threads aimed at dividing a tribe along religious lines.

Funny enough most of those attacking you are even christians and atheists.
