According to their history, they are descendants of Ora Ekpen from the Benin part of Ora.

Ora Ekpen was a descendant of Ọba Ewuare I.

They recently visited Benin for unification.

It is possible, however the Igede language seems closer to Igbo than Bini.

Coolsperm:
Bola Tinubu can never do this and you tell that Yoruba Muslims are not unity begars

The topic is not about Bola Tinubu, why involving him?

Has the politicians you love so much like Atiku, Tambuwal,Saraki or even your darling Peter Obi ever called for the creation of Biafra?

Why cherry picking Tinubu who has never ruled any igbo state?

iluvdonjazzy:
We have two mad MEN in this thread, SLYDEV and BANTU10

The chief tribalists always make nonsense of every thread on nairaland except the one that has to do with Tonto Dikeh, Bobrisky, Regina Daniels and now Jarumo

ednut1:
they are not related, bola tinubu is not even his real name. Thats like his adopted mothers name. The tinubu family still exists today https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2021/01/10/133-years-after-family-well-wishers-celebrate-madam-efunroye-tinubu-the-yoruba-unsung-heroine/

There are many Tinubu families nau from Kwara, Ekiti, Lagos to Kogi States.

Madam Efunroye herself was an Egba (Abeokuta) woman ,in fact she was the Iyalode of Egba before marrying Oba Akitoye of Lagos.

Poiu11:
tinubu is not a yoruba name

The full name is Osuntinubuwa.



Look for someone with a deep understanding of Yoruba language to explain the meaning to you.

Germi9:
Ain’t you one?

No, i am not.


What does it mean?

Poiu11:
there is nothing like efunroye tinubu, just a makeup story by tinubu

This means that you don't know anything about Lagos Island.

There is a place on Lagos Island called Tinubu where Tinubu Square (named after Madam Efunroye Tinubu, the Iyalode of Egbaland and Consort to the King of Lagos) is located.

APCNig:
YES, He is

What is the relationship sir?

Tinubu is a common Yoruba name just like Adebiyi, Falana or Uchenna in Igbo

Tranquillity360:
Rants of typical yoruba man.
Always using the line" Go and watch videos about Biafran war if you were not born then." As if they were born and saw the war.

I don't know why cowards that haven't seen war will be using war to threatening those that have seen war.



The one Nigeria you crave for will remain a failed state and must divide,just be ready to to join fight to keep it one,not just ranting on nairaland.

Do you honestly believe that IPOB can get you Biafra or defeat the Armed Forces to get Biafra in violent ways?

JackDaAlienz:
There were "some" not many Pope's
Just a few
Of course not everyone is going to do that. It is not easy to abstain from relation with the opposite sex.
However, you mentioned 12% out of 88% of priest and Pope's that didn't have sexual relation.

I didn't mention all the popes that have sexual relations with women( it is impossible to know all), i just gave few examples.

Priests are humans too and like all other humans, they also have sexual urges which religion may not be able to abolish.

Germi9:
I don’t even understand what you are talking about..did i mention is wealth? I advise you go back to me Mention and understand my point okay
I heard that Agbero is a respected job in the SW,now i get your point,nor vex

What is the meaning of Agbero?

PrinceOfLagos:
This man could be the next president if APC fields Tinubu for 2023

Anyim Pius Anyim is most likely to be the next president.

JackDaAlienz:
Even if na stories, why did they choose to make Jesus not to be born the natural way. They know something.

That is Priest, Pope, Monks are not allowed to marry
So they can keep themselves PURE
Prevent them from committing INCEST

There were many popes that were married and had children.


Simon Peter, the 'first Pope' was married with children.

Pope John X had sexual intercourse with Theodora and her daughter.

Pope John XII was alleged to have been killed while fornicating with a woman when the jealous husband of the woman caught them and hit the pope with a plank on his head.

ntyce:
I'm sure you and others criticising the guy didn't watch the video...

Buy sufficient data and watch

What the MD said to him is something that goes on here in the southwest.

You hear people say, how will you act when we are praying and shouting Hallelujah in my house?
Hope you won't bring your prayer mat to my house to pray?
I could have done more for you or employed you if you were a Christian.

My blood uncle who was a Christian once told me years ago that he can't allow me pray in the Islamic way in his house and that I must follow him to church in Sundays.

I watched a particular interview if this Mr Femi with TVC news some weeks ago, all he did was to make reference to his success as a born again Christian.
Even Mathew Ashimolowo acknowledged that he was very religious...

Based on these, it may not be out of place to say he discriminates based in religion.

He's dead now, I pray he finds peace with his creator.

May his soul rest in peace and his family is strong enough to bear his loss

So how come that there were many muslims among the dead and survivors?


There is no big construction of that magnitude in Lagos where you won't find people of different religions working there as labourers, artisans, technicians, suppliers of building materials, food vendors and of course, street girls.

epondudu:
It's really necessary...we Nigerians are sick, we are tribal, religiously fanatic, there are somethings that people should start discussing in the public, it's really happening.
What if it's Happens the other way round?

So how come that three out of the six survivors are muslims?

The guy was not employed ,not because of any religion but because of his altitudunal shortcomings and incompetence.

Germi9:
You that will sell your birth right for a pot of poridge, are you rich?

What does your birth right has to do with a leader of the UNION of Transport workers being honoured?


Most (wrongly) educated young Nigerians have this funny entitlement mentality that they ought to be richer than those who don't go to university and this emanate from their wrong notions about money.


Ideally, money is your reward for solving certain problesm in your environments by

1) providing goods e.g eggs,furniture, cassava, red oil etc.

2) offering certain services e.g Repairment of vehicles, surgical services, barbing, Teaching.

It is never totally ideal anywhere but it is close to ideal in most saner climes.

In most developing countries like Nigeria where the system is far from being ideal, people get monetary rewards without solving any problems or get rewards that far outweigh the problems they solve, thus the problems persist.



MC Oluomo and the NURTW provide Transport services for millions of peopele in and around Lagos on daily basis.

Some people who go to universities to study courses like Physical and Health Education, Zoology or Fine Arts come out to realize that they have little capacities to provide goods or offer services that are in hot demands by our country and thus have little or no financial rewards.

Ogbuefi2020:
pdp structures is very much intact in the north , apc is just riding on buhari cult like follwership wich will no longer be a factor in 2023

No it is beyond people riding on Bubari cult like followership. The PDP won Governorship elections in Sokoto, Bauchi and Adamawa States despite the Buhari-cult like followership

PaChukwudi44:
The presidential candidate chosen will determine the region the parties control.

You are wrong sir.


Check the results of past elections very well. It is difficult for a party that fail in all other elections in a region to suddenly win the presidential election.

Ogbuefi2020:
Worse case scenerio SE igbos will concecede vp ticket to a SS igbo , yorubas will mock SE but we wont care , akeredulu attempt to use se/ss for tinubu has been destroyed . What SE needs to flourish is a just and fair government

Its not about Akeredolu, each political party has it's areas of strength.
The PDP will win in SE/SS but with different margins compared to 2015 & 2019.

Penguin2:
You must have mistaken my article to mean me begging APC to zone its ticket to Southeast. Far from that dear brother.

I was just laying bare the reality that APC finds itself in right now.

Nothing is cast in stone, but you can’t be too hopeful that a Tinubu or an Osinbajo would garner more votes in the north than an Atiku or a Tambuwal.

And there’s no way the votes of the entire Southwest would come close to the votes of Southsouth and Southeast combined.

We have not put into consideration the fact that states like Oyo that has PDP governor might split its votes.

Add the fact that almost half of Lagos voters are Igbos.

Plus that Ondo has always tilted towards PDP.

Now where will the Southwest candidate get the numbers?

Don’t be emotional, try to be practical, pragmatic and realistic.

Political parties determinine 75% of the success or failures in a presidential election.

It is funny that you posited that the PDP may get substantial votes in Oyo State because it is in power in that State but conversely declared that APC will not get more votes in States where it is in power.


The only grace that can make the PDP win is if they present a candidate that is very different from the present class of aspirants and there is a division within the APC.

Indispensable85:
Interesting times ahead. Let's see what happens. For me, there's no guarantee that the north will vote as a block for the PDP because they're fielding a northerner.

Some kids on this forum are already saying that Atiku will win 19 States in the North, 6 States in the SS and 5 States in the SE, making 30 States.

Dsalvo:
Keep fooling yourself. It is the collective strength and official political might of a Party, plus the popularity of a candidate, that wins elections. Never one on its own.

You guys keep putting your desperate hope of seeing Yorubas defeated on Atiku's popularity alone without noting that the PDP is going backwards and weakening as a political force.

PDP is a shadow of what it was in 2019 when Atiku put in a decent showing. By next year, with the expected gale of defection away from the PDP towards the APC, the opposition Party will be a skeleton.

That is what will ensure that APC will still be easily victorious even if the Party ran with a lightweight like Fayemi let alone the likes of BAT and Osinbajo who are popular in the North.

The 'anyone but Yoruba' malice flowing in your vein is blinding you to the reality playing out right before our eyes.

Most of them are kids who haven't contested or personally involved in even ordinary student union elections and don't understand the complexities of human interests when many people are involved.


Multiple interests comes into play in presidential election rather than the over simplistic assumptions that being a Hausa-Fulani is the only interest.

Ekealterego:
This is a rebuttal to a thread one of your brothers opened insulting Igbos... None of you deemed it fit to caution him, rather the ones that came encouraged him and urged him on... Although the guy was annihilated in his own thread.
if this was not a rebuttal, I would have cautioned this OP as a cautioned the first attacker of the other thread but was remanded by your brother while they urged him on.

I don't have brothers that insult people and i don't know which threads you are talking about.


All these silly and childish inter-tribal threads on Nairaland are one of the main reasons why this forum can NOT advance beyond Nigeria and become a global site like Quora or Reddit.


Most of the topics are opened by kids, drug addicts and mentally deranged fellows.

Mercychen:
What is even wrong with this Jaruma of a woman?

Is it not the same woman that was praising and hyping Regina for patronizing her hugely some time ago in one of Reginas videos?

What's now causing the rift between them?

Some people are not worth doing biz with. This woman needs to receive sense and shut up already.

I used to think Jaruma is a man.

bigpriik:
All tribes are on Nairaland just that yorubas and igbos are majority..

How many times have you seen these other tribes talking on Nairaland?

JaroMan:
Don't let your enemy know how dreadful he is. Neither don't tell him how weak he is. Anonymous
The SW APC actually showed all their cards to the north and North has seen them all.
I have long predicted that North will massively move to PDP in the coming months ahead.
They will give the ticket to South, but won't support the southerner, especially if he is from South West.
Who saw the commendation letter from the Progressive Governors Forum to PDP?
The director is from north.
Why hasn't APC held convention?
Why is El Rufai silent in the party? Even PDP won LGs in the last election.
They have finished underground work, waiting for the right time.
Mind you, they're not as politically savvy as people think, it's the SW that pushed them to that throne.
Today, the arrogantly tell anyone off.

Hmnn,only the gods must have revealed all these to you sir!

nairalandankrah:
Are there even anioma people on Nairaland?

Am not talking about impostors oo

From the look of things, only Igbos and Yorubas are on Nairaland.

ghettochild:
Now if the girl thinks this isaac guy has HIV then she's fooling herself..
HIV is hard to contact..
U don't contact it at one shot...
In fact the chances are 1 out of 5
Go check stats

Stop misleading people sir.


There are instances where some get infected with just one encounter.


However, there are extremely rare people who can not be infected with HIV because they have some genetic defects.

Babinski:
The early Yoruba migrants to Ghana were traders and business people. In fact some of them became really rich that they began to have influence in Ghanaian politics and wielded monopolies, which where some of the reasons leading to the mass Yoruba expulsion from Ghana in 1969 during the Nigerian Civil War. Below is a link to one of several scholarly pieces confirming that.
http://www.laits.utexas.edu/africa/2004/database/diaspora.html

Below are two excerpts from a scholarly article: The 1969 Ghana Exodus: Memory and Reminiscences of Yoruba Migrants1
Rasheed Olaniyi, Department of History,
University of Ibadan.

"As traders, Yoruba in Ghana contributed to the spread of Islam and Christianity.
Migrants from Ogbomoso town in particular established branches of Baptist Church in both the rural and urban areas of Ghana. By 1948, they had formed Baptist associations reporting to the
Baptist Convention until 1964 when they formed their own Ghana Convention.
In the 1940s equally, Muslim traders from Ogbomoso established Nurudeen Society for the spread of Islam in Ghana. They established Mosques in Tamale, Accra, Secondi, Suhum, Koforidua, Tarkwa, Tema, Kumasi and others."

"From the early 20th century, Ghanaians and Yoruba migrants were mutually engaged in economic and social intercourse that benefited the two groups. Sudarkasa notes that Yoruba in Ghana were allowed to operate due to their intermediary roles, which facilitated the movement of goods between urban and remote rural areas. Yoruba migrants immensely contributed to rural economic development and transformation. They equally provided revenue in form of taxes and gifts to the state and traditional authorities."

There is no scholarly or reputable documentation on Yoruba migrants in Ghana that labelled them as beggars. Former President Mahama of Ghana grew up in Offa, Kwara State, Nigeria because his mother re-married a Yoruba man. If Yorubas were destitutes and beggars as erroneously claimed, which Ghanaian woman, more or less the mother of a future Ghana President, would marry one of them and follow him down to Nigeria as need be?

You people should spend your time on Nairaland engaging in useful, factual and developmental discourse instead of peddling lies and insultive misinformation!

Nairaland will be better if mentally deranged people are filtered off from the forum.

People like OkigboJihard and Bomb24 fall into the category.

Iyaebe:
What happened, he used to look very old and pale.Good for him

May be has been replaced by Issoufu Isa from Niger Republic.

Abdul05:
In short,

Being slow to act..buhari has lost a lot of initiative

He needs to be militarily ready to face these terrorists at once...

We shouldn't wait for this evil-doers to come after us rather we should go after them

To be very honest, Buhari can NOT do better than this level of performance.


Buhari and some Northern elites don't want more serious actions against these terrorists.
